Freedom Church

Yesterday I had the awesome opportunity to preach at Freedom Church in Acworth, GA. To say these guys are effectively advancing the Kingdom of God is an understatement. God is doing HUGE things through Freedom Church and I know they are just at the beginning of all that God will do. I love the people of Freedom, and I love the culture of Freedom...and I most definitely love the staff of Freedom!! Thanks to JR for the opportunity and thanks for making me feel so at home!!! I look forward to more great things!!!

Get It

I love the simple, yet, profound way in which the wisest man ever to walk the earth discussed the pursuit of obtaining wisdom. He says, "the beginning of wisdom is this: GET wisdom..." (Proverbs 4:7). It's simple in the sense that he is saying that the intro class to obtaining wisdom is to just go get it. The profundity of it exists in that even though it is simple most people never obtain it. The vastness of wisdom is not lacking, there is an abundance out there for the taking. The Proverbs are replete with the truth that wisdom is crying out and screaming aloud. However, most people never reach for her. Wisdom is everywhere obtainable, but you must GET IT!
