I’ve told you about “Redman,” the man who challenged me to bring church to the streets of Houston. So I accepted the challenge and started Friday night street services. What I didn’t tell you, is that soon after we had started our services, I noticed that Redman was not […]
Something New!
The word of the day is NEW! 1. God gave me a new life, when he saved me. 2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” 2. God gave me a new start when he […]
Sometimes, you just gotta believe!

I remember waking up one morning before dawn and I walked outside to read my Bible and pray. I waited long enough to see the sun rise. It wasn’t much different from any other day. There wasn’t anything spectacular about this particular sunrise. But there was a voice that I […]
The Better View!
Starla and I were recently in beautiful California. We hiked up a picturesque mountain to a spot called Castle Rock. Several times stopping to catch our breath and resting our legs. As we made it to the peak of Castle Rock, we stopped and enjoyed our sack lunch, while soaking […]
