First let me say thank you to all the men and women who have served and who are serving our country in our Armed Forces. Thank you for your sacrifice and dedication to our country. It's Memorial day and I wanted to thank them before I get to my post.

It's a long weekend for alot of us and what a blessed weekend it's been so far. I look forward to Saturday mornings because me and a group of friends gather at the local coffee shop here in town and we are studying through the book of Romans. It's always a great time of fellowship and study plus the coffee's pretty good too.

Sunday we joined our new church, Dellwood Baptist Church. The hand of God is on this church without a doubt. People are getting saved left and right and not just on Sunday but during the week as well. Why? Because there's a love for Jesus and they tell everyone about Him. There were 8 people saved this Sunday alone. So as I sat back Sunday evening and thought about it, what is different about Dellwood than alot of other churches. The answer was simple. It preaches and teaches the word of God. The congregation actually disciples and helps to teach new Christians and help them grow in their walk with God. It's not about special programs with fancy names, it's not about the preacher telling funny stories or being entertaining, it's not about doing things so people will think you're something your not. It's not about an "image". It's plain and simple. It's the word of God. If churches today would get back to teaching and preaching the word of God, I firmly believe we would see a change in our society. Our churches have become entertainment driven and preach this watered down, panseyfied gospel instead of driven by the true word of God. Wanna see your church grow and add to the Kingdom? Then get back to the word of God and God will bless you. It's not about nickels and noses, it's all about Christ and nothing else.
