One more thing

Thanks so much for praying for our Nominating Committee Ministry Fair that we held last Sunday. As I understand it, we had approximately 61% of the needed positions (including 38 new jobs) were filled (or rather signed up for) by volunteers at the fair. Many of the positions left are positions like Nursery [...]

A Great Week

Jenny, Caleb, Luke and I had a great time at Emerald Isle with my family. We were there for three days and it was great to spend some time with my family (both nuclear and extended!)
Caleb enjoyed playing on the beach – you know, digging holes, jumping in the holes, holding sand fiddlers, finding [...]

A Little Time With My Family

Today, after church, we are headed to the beach to spend a few days together. We’ll be back for Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting.
My parents have rented a couple condos next to each other and have invited my two sisters and myself to bring our families down for a little R&R. While we’re down, [...]

Tomorrow Is The Day

Tomorrow is our first attempt at revamping the way our church fills the different positions of service and leadership in our church for the upcoming church year. In year’s past, we have used the regular “nominating committee” approach where you basically call everyone who served last year to serve again. After that, you [...]

Below is a link to a timeline that foxnews.com has listed detailing the events of the past few weeks that [...]

Building The Temple

My OT Bible reading for this morning was 2 Chronicles 1-3. It is the second (maybe third) detailed description of the building of the Temple. Unlike Solomon, I have not been assigned the task of building a temple for the Lord. There are some parallels and applications that we can make [...]

My New Puppy

Move over Junior, we have a new puppy in the McLamb family. He’s small and full blooded. He even has papers. But this puppy requires a LOT of special treatment.
The new puppy Luke! Okay, so he’s not a real puppy, but I think he thinks he is. Yesterday, while Jenny [...]

Monday

For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. [...]

Why does God use people to accomplish His purposes?

In answering this question, one may simply choose to say “because He’s God and it’s His decision.” And that is true and even biblical (For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts -Isaiah 55:9, ESV).
In addition to the above [...]

A New Twist On Sharing The Gospel

I came across a new website the other day will reading Dr. Alvin Reid’s blog, Books, Culture and the Gospel. The website is designed to help us share the gospel using the internet as a medium. I haven’t looked through the whole thing fully, but the idea is really neat.
Here it is in [...]
