Quote of the day. It was easier to be 20 in the 70’s than it is to be 70 in the 20’s.

Played 21 holes of golf on Christmas Eve, and in shorts. Life is good in Tennessee. And my wife said I could.

Monday I begin as Interim AMS for CrossNet (Bradley Co) Bapt Network, TN. Pray that I can build relationships, help churches and pastors work through their grief in the death of their longtime AMS Phil Taylor, and prepare the way for a successful transition to a new AMS. Honored!

@albertmohler @ThirdAvenueBapt You guys are awesome. Thank you for being such great examples of loving kids and evangelism!

[billhenard @billhenard]

Thx to Pastor @joe_delph & his son Cooper & Floyd Conard who worked for over 4 hours moving my office to my home. Also, Claudia Womac, building supervisor @fbc_athens_tn worked to get my office and study packed up. In total, I had 130+ boxes of books, etc. I need to retire 😎

This morning at @fbc_athens_tn @gordonfort did a masterful job making the @SBCCP and @IMB_SBC real and on point. He along with 6 other missionary singles and couples engaged our people about reaching the nations. Thx to all of them!

OTD in 1680 the doors of the First Baptist Church Boston, MA were nailed shut by a court order. The local magistrates were not tolerant of those who supported Baptist "heresy." The church met outdoors in the cold and rain until the doors were unexpectedly opened weeks later.

[billhenard @billhenard]

@DrDavidLAllen Glad for it, Dr. Allen!

@Rebecca02441242 I don’t push books, but read my book, entitled reclaimed church, and that will give you an idea into how I train pastors and churches in revitalization. Discipleship is a key issue, which I mentioned much throughout the book. Discipleship in the church is essential.

[billhenard @billhenard]

Sunday I announced my retirement from full-time church ministry, but staying to Aug. 25, per my deacons’ request.
I plan to start a Ch. Revitalization ministry, working with my state convention, local associations, and individual churches called ReClaimed Church Network.
Pray!

[billhenard @billhenard]

@Rebecca02441242 No, I plan to work with pastors and churches to help them get back on a spiritual/numerical growth pattern.
