Looking forward to the weekend!

I just want to say how much I am looking forward to this weekend. Our series on John 3:16 will conclude this Sunday and we will be looking at how we can give back to God for giving so much to us. Giving is one of the greatest things a person can do in life. It doesn't always have to be financially it can be so many different ways. Service is one of the greatest things that you can do, ask yourself what am I doing to advance the Kingdom of God? Jesus said, " the harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few." Is that still true today? I just read some statistics for Arkansas and it said they we have 4 more churches this year than last year, church attendance has declined along with the number of folks baptized. The same is true for our own association of baptist churches. I still believe that we have plenty of people in our communities that need and want to know Jesus, we just have to stay faithful and keep sharing the salvation message. Think about what you could give to God to help others come to know Christ. The harvest is plentiful and I'm praying for some folks to go harvest the crop.

Struggling to stay focused

Is it just me or is it hard for anybody else to stay focused this time of year. It just seems that when spring arrives I begin to think of all the things I need to do and want to do that I don't get anything done. It really frustrates me too! I am not the most organized person in the world but I want to be. What I am learning is that when I loose focus, begin to see my self wandering from one thing to the other, I have to discipline myself to stay focused on each task at hand. There is really nothing more rewarding than finishing what you started. Pray for me that I will not allow myself to be distracted by good things and mess up the best things.
