Incredible night here at the Southwide Baptist Fellowship. Pastor Joe Arthur and Pastor Chappell preached tonight. God moved and our hearts are stirred for prayer. A spirit of revival and unity is all over this conference. Deeply humbled and honored to be here. 🦅

The purpose of prayer is not getting man’s will done in Heaven, but God’s will done on earth.

@smashbaals Reminds me of the convention-style music that we grew up singing, which contained a lot of call and answer parts.

There are three kinds of preachers:
1. Those you want to listen to.
2. Those you don’t want to listen to.
3. And those you MUST listen to.

"Sermons should have real teaching in them, and their doctrine should be solid, substantial, and abundant. We do not enter the pulpit to talk for talk's sake; we have instructions to convey important to the last degree, and we cannot afford to utter pretty nothings."
