Blanca, Miguel, and Adriana turned to Jesus more than a month ago at the Bent Tree location. Last Tuesday night I asked Blanca and Adriana this question, “How has your life changed since you gave your life to Christ?”

Blanca: Now I have peace. I used to be unable to sleep. I would lay down and I couldn’t fall asleep. I would take sleeping pills almost every time. Jesus has given me peace. Now I lay down and I fall fast asleep. I don’t even have to take pills.

Adriana: Jesus has changed my marriage. My husband and I used to fight constantly. Now we can sit and just talk and talk. Also, we have lots of time together now. We used to never see him. Now it’s like he is with us all the time.

Stanky Creek is a bundle of rugged, wheel-bending, leg-gashing, sweat-inducing mountain bike trails.

It was a blast.

Paul and Maté

| June 18th, 2010

The majority of this sweltering Memphis week has been spent under the teaching of Dr. Wade Akins. The name of the class is Pauline Theology and Missions.

Kyle Roy, half-Uruguayan, sips some sort of crazy Uruguayan maté all day.

The practical wisdom and insight the Dr. Akins shares with us has had a significant impact on my life.

Makeover

The secret of the church then and now is not a remarkably gifted individual like Saul (or someone as uniquely gifted and talented as you). The secret to the blessing and health of any church is Almighty God. Period. It’s not you, it’s certainly not me, or anyone else we are tempted to think is indispensible to the cause.

Paul, Swindoll (72)
