On a recent mission trip to Mozambique, our team went to “the ends of the earth” to a remote village in “the bush.” Pitched tents and visited villagers. I preached at this church on Sunday. Such a privilege and joy! The church used the most unique “pews.”

On a recent mission trip to Mozambique, our team toured the Gorangoza National Park, one of Africa’s premier safari destinations. Remarkable experience!!

@andrewtwalker @SBTS I sat in Dr. Simmons’s class at Southern. He boldly declared in class God was “pro-choice.” He was also a staunch proponent of liberation theology. I could go “on and on,” but, like you, I praise God those days are now history.

@drjamesmerritt But you do believe in Luckie, right?

@barryefields Thanks for the invitation, Barry! It was such a joy to be back with the Glendale Church family today! So grateful for the past, but so excited for the future!

OTD in 1925 17 yr old Bill Wallace worked on a car in his garage. As he worked he felt the Lord’s call on his life to be a medical missionary, and surrendered on the spot.

Prayers appreciated as I preach tomorrow morning at 11:00 am at the First Baptist Church, Saratoga, Texas.

I was looking for a journal this morning and I found this old Sunday program dated May 17, 1981. Although we were not members at Bellevue Baptist for a long time, we were greatly blessed by the preaching ministry of one of the greatest preachers in the 20th century.

[Spurgeon Church History, Assoc of Pilgrim’s Coffer @PuritanTruths]

Adoniram Judson (1788-1850) stepped onto Burmese soil not with applause but with anguish. For seven long years, he preached without a single convert, digging into the language like a miner seeking gold beneath stone. He buried his first child in foreign soil, watched his beloved wife Ann waste away from disease, and endured nearly two years of brutal imprisonment—chained, starved, and suspended by his feet in a filthy Burmese death camp. Yet even in the darkness of the dungeon, he whispered prayers in Burmese and hid scraps of translated Scripture under his thin mat, knowing that someday, someone would read them.

When Judson died in 1850, after nearly four decades of toil, there were over 7,000 baptized Burmese believers, more than 60 churches, and a fully translated Bible in their native tongue. His body was committed to the sea, but his legacy lives on in the hearts of a people who once knew nothing of Christ. What Judson sowed in sorrow, heaven reaped in joy. He once wrote, “If I had not felt certain that every additional trial was ordered by infinite love and mercy, I could not have survived my accumulated sufferings.” Such words were not poetry—they were scars made into praise.

@ShamsCharania Malone is not the problem. The GM is. He added nothing to the roster, but let good guys go. Hence, our bench is very weak. GM only added an old and turnover prone Westbrook to the roster. With key injuries, Malone was forced to start weak bench players- a recipe for disaster.

@DrJYeats Thanks, John! Thank you for your friendship and prayer support through this “journey”! Redemption Hill has a church residency program. The vision of the church is to equip church planters to plant churches in the Pikes Peak region - being a “multiplying church.”

[Mike Routt @MichaelWRoutt]

Kathy and I praise GOD for His faithfulness in bringing the vision He gave me years ago to reality this morning. We joined in celebrating the grand opening of Redemption Hill ‘s new 35 acre church campus! 850+ in attendance. A truly remarkable day!! To GOD be the glory!!

[Mike Routt @MichaelWRoutt]

@rfautry Thanks, Rodney! Praying GOD’s best for you!

[Mike Routt @MichaelWRoutt]

@NathanLorick Thanks, Nathan! GOD has a wonderful future for the church under the leadership of co-pastors Ross Jagers and Al Barrera. I continue to pray for you, your family, and your ministry!

@pastorbrady Thanks, Pastor Brady! New Life Church played an important part in our relocation process through the purchase of our 801 North Circle Drive Campus. That purchase enabled us to move forward.
