You’ve possibly heard the news…
Bella announced it to the entire world after Mom and Dad were able to call some friends and family. You can still hear her announcement here. Everyone wants details, but we don’t have any.
We’ve neglected this blog thing for the past several months. Being in transition made it difficult. Jeremy closed his blog down altogether. We’ll do our best to get the pictures and baby stuff to you along the way.
We’d appreciate your prayers! God is doing some amazing things around us in the lives of people. We’re constantly going back to the stories of Gideon and his army reduction, Joshua and the crazy victory without a fight, and countless others where the Lord shows Himself strong to those whose heart is fully His.
We miss all of you! Jeremy and Bella, of course, are praying for a boy.

Haiti Hater?
Yet another gospel-saturated post ”Does God Hate Haiti?” by Together for the Gospel and Al Mohler.
Worth the read. Should spur us to action for the sake of the gospel as stated in I John 3:17-28
If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?
Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.

The sin of prayerlessness
I’m taking a class this week… my last in order to get my M.Div. I’ve been amazed at how God has orchestrated my classes throughout the years in order to speak truth. For the past few months I’ve been studying prayer and discipleship. One of the required materials is E. M. Bound’s Power through Prayer. The small little book packs a serious punch.
The church is looking for better methods; God is looking for better men. (8)
What the church needs today is not more or better machinery, not new organization or more and novel methods. She needs men whom the Holy Spirit can use – men of prayer, men mighty in prayer. (9)
What do you think about those statements?

class act humility
I’m not a Texas Longhorn fan. I’m not an OU fan either. I’m a Tarheel fan, which rarely ammounts to much when it comes to football. I worked in the land of the SEC for years, so Rocky Top and Roll Tide, though both make my ears hurt, have a special place in my heart. Congrats to the Alabama team… especially for defeating Florida.
Yet, the real winner of last nights game didn’t even make a play. Colt McCoy isn’t just talk.
His is a life that is moved for the gospel.

haunting realizations
“Christianity has no cost in America. We’ve made it way to easy to be ‘born again’–perhaps much easier than Jesus intended. When do we get to the point at which we accept smaller numbers of intensely devoted people rather than feverishly investing in filling auditoriums and stadiums with massive numbers of lukewarm ‘Christians’ that Jesus promised to spew from his mouth?” — George Barna
“Are we more committed to packing our churches than penetrating our culture?” Bill Hull, “Choose the Life” p. 40
And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
But,
We have made GO optional.
We have changed “all” to “some.:”
We have changed “teaching them to obey” to “suggesting” or “hoping they’ll obey.”
We have made disciple-making an insular process in a closed system.
