Welcome to First Baptist Church of Dunlap,

 

As I write this article, we are in the middle of Vacation Bible School. There are children literally everywhere!  God has certainly blessed us with a great responsibility and a wonderful opportunity for children’s ministry.  Let me take this opportunity to thank all the volunteers who make VBS possible by giving of their time, energy, and talents to help this ministry be a success.

 

          I am also in the midst of studying our church’s history, so I can get a better sense of where we have been and discover trends, successes, and struggles. I think this project will be helpful as we seek God’s leadership for the future.

 

          As we continue with vacation season, I hope you and your family are able to spend some time together enjoying each other’s company.  I want to close this month with two quotes and a request for ongoing prayer for me and our church as we seek God’s specific direction for the days ahead.

 

1) When faced with a crisis of belief, “What you do next reveals what you believe about God” Henry Blackaby Experiencing God.

 

2) Finally, someone shared a quote with me the other day that really put things into perspective. I hope it will be helpful to you:  "I am part of the fellowship of the unashamed! I have the Holy Spirit's power! The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made-I'm a disciple of His! I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, and my future is secure. I'm finished with low living, sight walking, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, worldly talking, cheap giving, and dwarfed goals. I no longer need preeminence, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. I now live by faith, I depend on His presence, I walk by patience, I am uplifted by prayer, and I labor with power. That's what it means to be a disciple of Jesus"! (A national pastor who was later martyred in Zimbabwe Africa).
