We had a wonderful week, but it was VERY busy. It started at our home church, Crossroads Baptist Church in Tracy, California (always wonderful to be with our friends there), on Sunday morning. From there we went to the Sovereign Grace Baptist Church in Modesto, California and had a roasting good time holding services in the downstairs fellowship hall. We were blessed to get to know so many friends of Crossroads that we had not yet met, and it was great to see all that God has done in this church. If you get a chance, visit their website and read the story!
We left Modesto Sunday evening and traveled south to the San Dimas area on the way to our next meeting in Hesperia, California. While in San Dimas, we visited with some family who flew in to visit for the week. One of the highlights of the week, for the kids, was God's provision of a trip to Legoland - the most comprehensive marketing program ever devised by man. I'll let Martha tell that story sometime.
Last Saturday we arrived at the Mountain View Baptist Church in Hesperia, California, and we had a great time with the folks here. I had visited this church a long time ago, and it was great to see what God has been doing here over the years. We had a great time of fellowship with Pastor Webb and his wife and kids (they have more than us!). It has been a joy to be here.
I do appreciate your prayers this week as we have been having problems with our "reefer" (refrigerator) and our propane system. We will be working on this before heading back up to the bay area for a busy few weeks. We look forward to some great opportunities there!

About this blog
Preaching
...should deliberately and consciously adhere to what the Bible says, where the Bible says it, and with the emphasis that the Bible gives. However, this should not mean that preaching is a dry, academic, exercise in boredom. No one should ever be put to sleep with the Word of God.
Music
...is like a language, with the volume turned up on the emotion, and when this is accompanied by lyrics, the result can be both powerful and memorable. Because of this, music must be used carefully and with particular attention to what is communicated to the audience (both lyrically and emotionally).When these elements are brought together, you have a Sermon in Song!
