For the past 8 days, I’ve been involved with 6 deaths on some level(preached two funerals). I’ve seen first hand the pain death can bring. Oh my, I’ve seen, felt the tears that’s why this day, Resurrection Sunday is so vital. He is not here! He is risen!! The hour is soon coming when all the dead in Christ will rise. He will command all to come forth!! Amen, amen.

Low in the grave He lay,✝️ but Sunday is coming. Up from the grave He arose.✝️ Death is a a reality we all have had to deal with. We are trying to minister to several families who are in throes of sorrow. Their loved ones were all Christ followers. Oh, they know they will see them again🙏.  Come celebrate Christ’s victory over death, hell, and the grave this Easter Sunday, 7:30 a.m. at Lake Blackshear Baptist Church. We will have a big breakfast to follow, amen.

It’s “Good Friday”. What’s good about it? Jesus died an agonizing death on the cross. At the end He cried out, “It is finished!”(John 19:30). The plan of salvation, God’s plan from day one, is complete. Oh, yes, it’s “Good Friday”. Thank You, Lord✝️. When He was on the cross, we were on His mind. Amen.

Yesterday was a day of pain. I received word of two deaths, one related by marriage and the other, a young man whose family I know so well. Oh, Father, how we long for Your return.✝️ The news is filled with violence. As we celebrate Your sacrifice, Your resurrection, we cry out, please help us, please deliver us, we thank You, now in Jesus’ name, amen.

Jesus said in John 14:14: “Ask anything in My Name and I will do it!” That means a prayer that Jesus could sign His Name to. I counted, on the “biscuit run” this morning, at least 10 prayers He has answered in the past few days✝️. Our son says, “Dad, prayer works!” Right now I have four persons that I am praying to be saved🙏. As you pray today, pray for someone you know to “be saved” before it is too late, amen.🙏🙏

I have my 6th Funeral service today; it is for a Christ Follower. Three things for this family, for all in sorrow, there is hurt, we know about that, there is help: family, friends rally to us, and there is Hope. John 19:30: It is Finished! He had completed the plan of salvation. We shall see them again! If you are a Christ Follower, there is hope, amen.

A lot going on, daughter and son-in-law headed home, and I am on my way to VA at Dublin. I have a funeral tomorrow for a long time friend, servant of the Lord✝️. Awesome day of worship with our choir’s cantata on Sunday. It was awesome (I’m slightly prejudiced🙄). Go to lakeblackshearbaptistchurch.com and watch.🎉 Father, thank You for so many answered prayers, You are so good to us, in Jesus’ name, amen.
#comehomeatlbbc

Our cantata today is “It is Finished”, Jesus’ cry from the cross. He had accomplished all that the Father had sent Him to do-✝️ that the plan of salvation was complete.🙏 God, has blessed us with 30 voices, we invite you to come worship with Lake Blackshear Baptist Church today! Father, we thank You that it is FINISHED✝️! Amen.

Good Morning!🎉 Our son is home for a few days, oh the joy.❤️ He brought his dog Klaus with him. Our two cats were so glad to see him.😅Well, they “get along”🙄. Oh, if we could all “get along”😇. Jesus, in John 13:34, commands us “we are to love others as He loves us”. Have a great “get along day”. Amen!
#comehomeatlbbc

Oh, what a day, we were hunkered down, watching the weather reports with Code red on our phones going off every few moments. My wife and daughter spoting “rotations” above our home, and people flooding Facebook with pictures of tornadoes...scary.☹️ Someone said you were “lucky”. No, we were blessed!✝️ Father, thank You for hearing our prayers, for speaking “peace, be still”.🙏🙏 Amen!
#comehomeatlbbc

Got “caught up” on your praying during the storm? Don’t stop; the storm continues.🙏 Interesting that a crisis will bring us to our knees, but God wants to hear from us in all times.🙏 I had several prayers answered yesterday, not just about the storm, but one for a medical problem. When I got the word, we both shouted, laughed, and praised God. Had a prayer answered? Shout, laugh, and praise God!! Amen.

Each Sunday I stand on the porch of our little country church to greet those arriving for Sunday School, and each morning Bro. Marvin would pull up. Oh, he was so faithful.✝️ Then yesterday his son in law called and said, “He’s gone”,🙏🙏and I know where. Do you know where you’re going when you’re “gone”?? You can just read John 14:1-6. Prayers for his family.🙏🙏 Amen.
#comehomeatlbbc

Today will be our 90th worship service since the pandemic.🎉We celebrate by obeying Jesus’ command in Luke 22:19: with the bread and wine He said, “Do this in remembrance of Me!” It is the Lord’s Supper✝️. We urge you to come in joy and obedience and worship. We promise, you will be glad you did, yes, amen. We’re Lake Blackshear Baptist Church.🙏

Spent part of last evening reading obits from days past, they’re archived. Several of them I had helped with the funeral, I realized afresh that my time is approaching. Am I ready? Oh, yes Jesus is my Lord, my Savior.✝️ We’re in the process of getting our “tiny estate” in order for our children.❤️ Have you made the right preparations?✝️ You can right now. Amen.
