REMARKABLE DAY AT MEMORIAL SUNDAY

We pray for God to sit among us. We expect Him to do so. Sunday He did.

We had a tremendous day of exhilaration brought about by the Leader.

First of all, Legrand Strickland walked into our assembly. He is the soldier lost both legs when his unit was attacked in Pakistan a few months back. What a thrill to see this young man enter with new legs and feet for the last visit we saw him in a wheel chair.

And then four of our recent visitors were baptized. I baptized three generations as they stood in the waters. A grandpa, a grandma, their daughter, and their grandson took turns as I buried each as they made pre-cemetery arrangements.

While I am robustly happy for their family, I am equally as overjoyed for the Memorial family for such a morning was a reflection of God shining in them. I am ultra-honored to get to preach at such a special place.

Memorial isn't ideal due to sentiment. The freedom in Christ is sensed, expressed, and lived. God is the gloried One. No committee, no personnel, no leadership provides the God-power; only the Three do that!

We had one remarkable day...endorsed by God!
