Friday Five

I got this idea from my good buddy Jay Hardwick. Jay is a church planter, and is currently moving to the great city of Columbia SC. Pray for Jay and his family as they begin a brand new work for Christ in Columbia. Jay is also a huge Gamecock fan, I guess that's why we get along so well.

So here is this weeks Friday Five.

1. Erin and I are truly blessed as to what God is doing in our lives. He has been so faithful to the both of us and we are truly grateful for what he has done, is doing, and is going to do in the days to come. To God be the glory great things he has done.

2. I am really excited about the opportunity to preach this week at the church that I grew up in. I will be doing their Homecoming service during the am worship time. Pray that God will use me as his mouth piece to say exactly what he wants said. I am looking forward to going and doing what I love doing (sharing the precious Word of God).

3. While preparing the sermon over the past couple of weeks God began to show me some brand new things. I will be preaching on one of the most well known homecomings in the Bible. As the prodigal son found himself in the pig pen, I was reminded that no one forced him there. People today are in pig pens. No one forced them their, they did it to themselves. Are you in a pig pen today? Maybe it is the pig pen of pornography, or maybe its jealously, or it could be unfaithfulness, and for some it might be a financial pig pen. Whatever your pig pen is today, remember that our God stands with arms wide open ready to welcome you back home. Why don't today you repent of those things that are keeping you from him and COME HOME!!!

4. It is going to be a great weekend of College Football. The Gamecocks head down the road to play Georgia. From what I have been hearing nobody gives us a chance in this game. Here is my thoughts. Steve Spurrier!!!! that's all I need to say. Some how so way, i think the Gamecocks pull this one out in the end.

5. It's another Saturday in the South. That means College Football. Oh, I just said that in #4. Oh well you can never get enough of College Football.

Have a great weekend!!!!
