Today we will visit Jeff’s Church. Because they are building a new sanctuary and school, we went to the old school building for service. The church is small and it and reminds me of LWC early days. There sound system is dated. The instrumentation consists of an electric piano, trumpet, bass and drums. Jeff’s son Jeffery plays the drum set. The pastor plays the bass…has multiple roles. We worshiped then the pastor delivered an excellent message from Genesis 26:12-25. The message was to Dads and children. The points that I took away were:
- As each generation digs for the Lord, they become greater than their father and will reap greater good for the Lord. Others will envy what you have and try to steal the blessing of God. Instead of coveting your possession, move on to another place and seek the Lord there and peace and blessing will eventually follow you.
- Eventually he found peace after digging the third well and there the Lord appeared to him and no one coveted his well. He then built an altar.
I think we all need to keep searching for the call and never quit digging. Once we find it, the Lord will appear to us and we can build him an altar to come before him daily. I thanked Pastor Milt for bread of life. The Holy Spirit moved in this tiny church in prophecy and interpretation of tongues as well. Hallelujah!
After church, Jeff treated us to lunch. We went to a traditional southern BBQ restaurant named Mutts. Pulled pork, ribs, southern fried chicken, baked beans, collards, and all the trimmings. Yum, yum! I witnessed to the clerk at the register who was saved, and filled with the Holy Spirit. I gave her the tracks and she accepted them. She told me she wanted to give them to her colleagues. We finished eating and returned to Jeff’s home. Jeffery showed me his talent on the field snare drum, and I played pinball…real pinball…Twight Zone.
Then we sat down to watch “The Good , the Bad and the Ugly with Clint Eastwood. I started my posts and from then on I have been writing and snapping pictures. It turned into a late night and we arrived to the motorhome on the lake around 12:30am.
