Sunday Night Reflections (The Monday Edition)
It was a late one last night!
So, you are getting the Monday Edition of Sunday Night Reflections. (Would that be called Monday Night Reflections?)
I had a VERY busy, but VERY cool weekend!
- Saturday I got to spend the whole day with my oldest son & I do mean WHOLE day! We went to Atlanta for a chorus competition and a trip to Six Flags. We had to meet at his school at 5:30 AM and got back around 11 PM. I loved being able to hang out with him. He’s a great kid! Like all middle school boys, he’s having to learn to deal with the pressures that come with the territory. He doesn’t always get it right. But he loves God, wants to please Him, & that will take him a long way.
- While I was keeping my priorities in order, by being dad before pastor. My church family was representing! They had 3 outreach events taking place Saturday. They were at the Mauldin Miracle League loving on kids, serving at the Home for Children in Mauldin, & having a Blitz here at Faith Renewed for the Alabama Disaster Relief.
- I LOVE MY CHURCH!
- We had a great Sunday! May is National Foster Care Month. We had a special Service Sunday morning to bring awareness to the great need that exist in the area of fostering & adoption. This is something that is very near & dear to my heart. I loved seeing our people open up to the possibility of being a part in changing a life in this way.
- Sunday Night we had a our monthly MIA (Men In Action) Men’s Meeting. It’s always great hanging out with theses guys! We get very “real” in these meetings & the response has been incredible. Men are loving God, loving their wife, & loving their kids on another level!
To say I had an amazing weekend, would be an understatement!
PUMPED about what God’s already up to this week!
Will share more with you soon…

You CAN Make A Difference!
We are going to be filling up the “Trailer of Hope” for some of the tornado victims in Alabama this weekend at Faith Renewed.
You learn more about what we’re doing here and see a list of what is needed.
When devastation is great, it’s real easy to sit back and do nothing because we can’t help everyone. I love something that Andy Stanley said, “do for one, what you wish you could do for everyone.” You may not be able to help an entire community or city. Can you help one family or one person?
Lets’ make a difference together.
The Spirit Of Adoption
Sometimes I gain a better understanding of God’s Word by putting in hours of study. Sometimes by divine revelation. Sometimes however, it simply comes through living. When it comes to the Spirit of adoption. This has been a combination of all three…
I think I always understood the overall concept of being adopted into the Family of God. In March of 2007 when my wife & I adopted our youngest son, I got a little more “revelation” and have been gaining a little more understanding on this subject each day. I still remember when the judge said these powerful words, “I grant you full rights as parents, & Caleb full rights as son.” WOW! What an amazing feeling! It was legal because the one that sat in authority, said so.
Romans 8:15-17 says, For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs––heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.
It’s truly an incredible feeling to know that I can go to God in prayer as Daddy, and He accepts me as son. If you’ve accepted God’s grace, you are a son or daughter of God. Not because you can earn it or deserve it, but because the One that sits in ALL authority, said so.

A few thoughts from an amazing weekend!
- It’s Mother’s Day weekend! So first of all, THANK YOU to my mom, the mother of my kids, & to all the wonderful mothers out there. If you are a mom I hope you received the honor you deserved today. We really wouldn’t be here without you!
- Thankful for a great day at Faith Renewed. We are in a Series called DNA. Today I taught on what we believe in the area of healing.
- Romans 10:13 says, For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.” The word saved means to make whole or to heal. Not only did Jesus die to forgive us of your sins, but also for our healing, & to deliver us from bondage.
- The cool thing is we saw God save today! He healed physical bodies! Set people free! We also saw the greatest salvation of all, crossing from death to life! He is HEALER!
- I also got to spend some time with my mom & dad today! So blessed to have Godly parents that love me & brought me up in the ways of God.
- Finished the day off with an incredible mother! My wife is a great “mommy”. Grateful to be able to do life with her.
I hope you had a wonderful weekend & I pray you have a blessed week!
