NewSpring Loves People…
This will sound arrogant, but I am not intending it that way, but there will be some punk out that takes it that way, but anyway…here goes.
NewSpring Church Loves People!
I am so thankful that I am a part of church that cares about people. I have had the privilege to meet with a some couples that are living together that are not married. Each of them have their different circumstances and reasons, but they all have been willing to meet and talk about their situation. Well, to make a long story short…I am getting ready to leave to officiate the wedding of one of those couples.
They came and meet with me a couple of weeks ago to talk about how they want to live for Jesus. So I asked their intentions and they said they wanted to get married. So I walked with them through a couple sessions of pre-marital counseling appointments that talked about love, roles in marriage, lies that we are told about marriage, expectations, sex, intimacy, etc.
Because NewSpring cares about people, I am able to officiate the wedding of two people that want to follow God’s will for their lives and live the way Jesus wants them to. Unfortunately, some churches would have beat them up emotionally and verbally and told them leave their church and then come back AFTER they got straightened up….not NewSpring. We love the people and help them get out of the sin. We don’t tell them to go clean up and then come back! We know that we are a hospital for sinners and not a country club for sinners!!
God calls us to LOVE people, NOT their sin!! We must be willing to deal with that sin and speak truth in love to them…this is messy and draining, BUT so rewarding!!
So be sure to ALWAYS love Jesus and love people!! Now, I am off to a wedding!!

Crazy BIG day!!
Today is a FREAKING huge day! I am starting at the Greenville Campus…I am going to be serving as the Associate Campus Pastor. I talked about the transition in this post. I am super excited about what the future holds and all the stuff that I am going to be working on! The team of people that are on the gorund and have been running STRONG for over 6 months are AWESOME! I am looking forward to learning from them and getting challenged in some aweome way!
Be praying for me as I will now be traveling 35-40 minutes every day to get to the campus. I look forward to posting more about the transition and what it all entails. Also pray for me as I am going to have a car mate this AM! Pudge Huckaby is hitching a ride with me this morning, so it is sure to be a CRAZY, LOUD, and FUN ride!!!

Food = Blessing!!
Last night, Deanna and I made it to Florence around 8:00PM. We drove through some crazy awful weather, but made it without any problems. We went straight to 317 S. Irby Street, Town House Restaurant. We called my parents, who were already there and they ordered for us, so we were able to eat almost immediately when we arrived. I am going to tell you that is one of the best meals that i have ever eaten in my whole entire life!!!
I sat there and ate slowly for the first time in a LOOONG time! I cherished ever bite of that Greek Marinated Grilled Chicken Breast with onion rings and fries! As I was eating I was blown away with how blessed I am that I can go out to eat and eat anything that I desire. I know that there are people in our own country that would do anything for a full course meal everyday! I am truly blessed, I pray that I never forget that and also use the opportunities that God presents me with to bless others as He leads me to!
How are you blessed? Think about that for a moment, I bet that you are blessed more than you really think!!!

No Sex = $10,000
Just saw this story….commit to no sex before marriage and have a chance to win $10,000. Read about it here.
Be sure to read the WHOLE article…some interesting comments in the article…such as that there is no one has entered and that they have relaxed the rules. Interesting to say the least.
What do you think about it?
