Locusts and Wild Honey

This Sunday I have the privilege of leading the January Bible Study at Clifton Baptist Church in Franklin LA. My friend, Pastor Tony Hicks, asked if I would lead the study. I plan to cram an overview of 1, 2, and 3 John into three sessions. We will meet during the Sunday School hour, the main church service, break for dinner on the grounds, and wrap up the study with an afternoon session. I opted not to use the Lifeway material. Instead I plan to cover New Testament Survey type of material in the first and third sessions and preach 1 John 3:11-18 in the main service. Scott Lamb points to some good resources for further study.
My friend, pastor Eddie Exposito, of Sovereign Grace Fellowship in Slidell, LA will preach at Lakeshore in my absence.

About two months ago, as I relaunched our Rebuild Lakeshore web site with a blog, I said that I planned to continue posting to both sites. Since that time I’ve made 26 entries on Rebuild Lakeshore and none here on my personal blog. You can tell what occupies most of my time. Let me encourage you to bookmark my Rebuild Lakeshore site and keep up to date with our relief efforts.

I do want to keep posting here. Today marks the second anniversary of my blog, so I figured today I would break the silence. Two years ago, I had no idea how deep the water would get when I dove into the blogosphere. In God’s providence the site drew attention to the great need left in the wake of Katrina. I pray that my future postings will point to our great God who can hold a hurricane in his hand.
