Planning Ahead

Hey friends!! It is Odie coming to you from the road somewhere between Texas and Louisiana. We had a great week in Sweeny, Texas. It was very encouraging to see God work in each service at Full Gospel Lighthouse! Pastor Lamb and all of his folks treated us so well this week and we enjoyed being with them again. The last night was wonderful.

We are headed to Sterlington, Louisiana today and I am excited to be at Sterlington Holiness Tabernacle.  It is always a ton of fun to be with Pastor T.D. Boyd and family!!

Looking ahead in 2015 there is already a full year planned out. I can not wait to share it with you. Many exciting times are awaiting us.  Here are few things you may want to mark on your schedules and make plans to attend with us.

Sweeny, Texas - Revival In Pictures

We have had a wonderful time this week at Full Gospel Tabernacle in Sweeny, Texas We sure appreciate Pastor Larry Lamb and all of the folks here inviting us and welcoming us with open arms. We have had an outstanding time of revival. We have seen adult children of some of the members in the altar seeking God different nights. I love that so much. Praise God for working among us.

We have also had a great time of fellowship with old friends and enjoyed making new friends. We really get to meet and visit with some tremendous people out here on the road. You sure you do not want to load up and go with us? Plus, we eat good too.

We have one more night of revival tonight and there is no telling what God is going to do in this last service. I would say there is a good chance that somebody is going to get saved. It is awesome that God so loves the world that He is still extending His long arm of grace!

I will allow the rest of this Revival In Pictures post tell the story. Thanks for reading.

I mentioned that we eat good, right?

Although we have had a couple of nights slightly below freezing we are very thankful not to be in Ohio. This was Wednesday night in Waynesville BEFORE it cooled off too much!

Do You Know Pastor Darius Templeton?

A few years ago I put up a few posts called "Do You Know (Insert Name Here)?" and they proved to be very popular posts. I never intended to do those posts super often but I did intend to do them more often than I have. Why? Because we are blessed to meet so many incredible Christian men and women that most people know nothing about and I would love for you to get to meet them.

Some people think the church is full of nothing but hypocrites and weak minded types. We have met all types in the church but we have been abundantly blessed to become acquainted with some genuinely saved and sanctified folks in churches all over the US and beyond. We are privileged to serve God with amazing men and women that are dedicated and sold out to Christ.

I know some people are down on everybody but we regularly leave a church saying, "Wow, those are super great people!" There is no way we could introduce you to all of them that we know but at least we can try to hit the highlights!

I was reading a great devotional written by a good friend online the other day and I said to myself, "I need to tell somebody about him and this devotional." So that is what I am doing today.

Do you know Pastor Darius Templeton? This is him below with his precious wife Sis. Kim at their church in October, 2013.

Bro. Darius was raised in a preacher's home in Connersville, Indiana. He came to our home church, Dryden Rd. Pentecostal Church as a young man and won the heart of one of our best young ladies, Sis. Kim. He stayed at Dryden Rd. for many years, eventually becoming the Youth Pastor and working under Bro. Bennie Sutherland for several years. He became what seemed like an indispensable part of our home church.

Four or five years ago Cedar Creek church near Citronelle, Alabama came calling and Bro. Darius has served as their Pastor ever since. We hated to lose him at Dryden Rd. but we knew he would be a great Pastor at Cedar Creek. He is doing a fine job and the Allentown fellowship of south Alabama is blessed to have Bro. Darius and his family there.

I admit that I am a little biased toward Bro. Darius but it is hard not to be. Bro. Darius is a fine Christian gentleman. He is a man of integrity, character and discipline. On top of all that he is a tremendous preacher. He has applied himself to the Word of God and he preaches it faithfully.

Bro. Darius has started posting a devotional on the Cedar Creek church's website and I am enjoying it very much. They are short and thought provoking and they are well worth the time and effort to read them. I suggest you bookmark Bro. Darius's devotional and check it every day. He will surely tell you something that will profit you spiritually.

Do you know Pastor Darius Templeton? He is definitely worth getting to know and this is a fine chance to do it.

Thanks for reading.
