Why The Division?

When we look at our standard weekly church services, it is clear that these services are very racially divided. If you have a congregation with an African American pastor, then the congregation tends to be largely African American. If you have a congregation with a European American pastor, then the congregation tends to follow the same. However, I have determined that it seems so much easier for the European American pastor to attract African Americans then it is the other way around. I guess I fail to truly understand why this is. I have my thoughts, and I will expound on those in my next post, but I would like to know your thoughts, and why you think we have this racial disconnect. What can be done on both sides of this issue to bring about change. After all, we should all have the same motivation as we worship the same God. Sound off, and let me know your thoughts.

It has been too long

Ok - it has been way to long since I have written anything. While I can talk about how busy we have been with ministry, and why I have not been able to write, I will not get into all of that. All I will say is that I am looking forward to a lot of fresh and new content posted to this site from this time forward.

For those of you that are wondering where I stand with my book, an update to that project will be coming soon, but just know I am still writing it.

Now, for more important matters, I am very excited about what God is doing at WOF, over the last few Sunday's we have seen someone give there life to Christ each Sunday. It is always a powerful moment when people make a decision to follow the Lord. To often times we get caught up in "having church". I am still not sure that the means, but from everything that I read in the Word, we are "The Church", and when we do our job in ministry, Christ draws men.

Word of Faith is stretching out into new territory and walking in faith and we are very excited for what is ahead of us. For anyone that thinks church planting is easy, they are on something, but I would not trade this for anything...
