“The Peregrine Falcon.”  
“Mitochondria.”
“100 billion.”
“Green Bay Packers.”
“1933.”

Life would make more sense if we could get the answers first and the questions later.  Or would it?  Life is full of tough questions.  Sometimes we have to go on a treasure hunt to dig up the answers. Perhaps one of the reasons God allows us to struggle with so many life questions is that He wants us to discover who He is in the process of finding the answer. 

Sometimes, however, people allow the difficult questions of life prevent them from coming to an understanding about who Jesus is.   Throughout ministry, I’ve been given the privilege of being in the biblical and theological hot seat.   Guys and gals often share with me that some pertinent questions are preventing them from coming to faith in Christ, and until the question is answered in their mind, they can never really believe.  Here are some of the questions I’ve been asked.
Where did Cain find his wife?
How many kids did Adam and Eve have?
How many angels can stand on a pinhead?
Are the Bible stories really true, or are they man-made myths?
Why did God make the platypus?
Why do bad things happen to good people?
Are there any people who are really good?
What happened to the dinosaurs?
Was my Great-Great-Great Grandpa really an ape?
On Sunday, September 7-8, we will be hosting the Answers Conference with guest speaker, Carl Kerby, of The Answers in Genesis Ministry.  I want to encourage you to come and join us as we discover the answers God has already clearly revealed in the Bible concerning some of life’s most difficult questions.  Come seeking answers to your questions, and it may be you find the Answer you’ve been looking for all your life.
1 The answer to, “What is the fastest animal in the animal kingdom?” The Peregrine Falcon flies at 217 mph.
2 The answer to, “What is the energy source of the cell?”  Mitochondria is the energy ‘powerhouse’ of the cell.
3 The answer to, “How many galaxies are in the universe?”  The number of galaxies in the universe, estimated by professional astronomers and physicists.  Give or take a couple million.
4 The answer to, “Who will win the Superbowl?”
5 The year Twinkies were introduced to American society by The Continental Baking Company in Indianapolis.

The Bridge: Living in Victory
Will someone please explain to me why the International Olympic Committee decided to remove baseball as an Olympic sport, but put their stamp of approval on the trampoline competition?  Gold medals for bouncing and flipping around on a trampoline? 
        One of the most inspiring moments in the Olympics for me was watching Michael Phelps win one of his swimming events by 0.01 seconds at the wall.  Oh, sweet victory!  Winning is cool.  Go for the win!  There is something great about winning the gold medal after pouring years and years of work, sweat, and effort into your event. 
 When you win, you get stuff, too.  Pizza Hut is giving Phelps and his teammates free pizza and pasta for a year because he beat Mark Spitz’s record of seven Olympic gold medals.  I’m telling my three sons to get back there in the our 18-foot wide inflatable Wal-Mart pool and get their laps in before school!   It’ll save me lots of buckage I’ll spend on pizza in the years to come. 
 Peter Carlisle, director of Octagon (a sports management agency), was asked, “What is the value of eight golds in Beijing before a prime-time audience in the U.S.?”  Carlisle responded, “I’d say $100 million over the course of a lifetime.”   Eight Olympic gold medals have the fiscal juice to produce $100 million dollars.  That’s incredible!
 Most of us don’t have a shot at even winning one gold medal in the Olympics, but our hard work and effort for the Kingdom will not go unrewarded.  God promises victory for us as His people if we enter to where He is already working.  As we prepare for the Bridge campaign over the next several weeks and start receiving pledges and gifts for the Bridge Building, we need to remember that hard work, money, resources and gifts are not to bring our own name glory or victory, but glory for the name of Jesus.
 Psalm 44:3 says, “It was not by their sword that they won the land, nor did their arm bring them victory; It was your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, for you loved them.”  Living in victory is dependent on my dependence on the Spirit’s power to do the work through me.  We have to learn to rest in His power to save.  We have to learn to rest in His power to give us victory.  The Psalmist says, “It was not by their sword that they won the land.”  It’s not by our efforts, gifts, or skills, but the work of the Spirit powerfully manifested in the lives of God’s people.  You and I have to surrender our confidence in our abilities and talents, knowing that on our own, we can’t achieve victory.  Without the light of His face, we can’t achieve victory over sin, persevere through the hardships, stand in the face of compromise, or love those who are difficult.
 Christ is our victory! But in order for us to experience the victory, we must depend on His work.  As we prepare for the Bridge campaign, our efforts empowered by the Holy Spirit will bring us the reward of something greater than eight Olympic gold medals or a $100 million.  The reward will be the glory of seeing broken people find healing because of what Jesus Christ did for them on the cross!  It doesn’t get any better than that.

Pay Attention

Kason and I went fishing at A.C. and Connie Taylor’s pond last Saturday.   Garrett and Colton were chillaxing with the students at Y.E.C. so we decided to ‘rip a lip’ (a.k.a ‘go catch a catfish.)  We did.  We caught three. Sad to say I have no pictures because though we caught them, they didn’t want to take a ride home with us.  The first one probably weighed 10, 15 or 20 pounds, maybe 30.  He took our bait for a stroll, swam toward the shore, then rolled over and snapped the line. The second one approximately weighed 17, 18, or 21 pounds. Maybe 40.  The line tangled in a branch just off the shoreline and then he raised his big fat 22 pound (maybe 50 pounds) head and stuck his tongue out at me because we didn’t set the hook.  But it was the third fish, Moby Dick, the monstrosity of the fish kingdom, the King of the Underwater World, the Captain of all Catfish that God used to teach Kason a life lesson in a God moment.  Fishing expeditions are incredible opportunities for God-moments.
 Poking around in the mud, Kason had become bored waiting for a bite.  When he glanced over at his pole, it jerked toward the water.  He ran over and reached down to grab it, but under the water, Jaws jerked the pole from his grasp and decided to take that Zebco 404 for a ride…into the middle of the lake.  We ran fifty yards to the little bass buggy and buzzed around to find it.  It was too late, Mr. Flipperboy had dragged it to the bottom of Waterworld.  I asked my eight-year-old fishmeister what he learned from letting a catfish steal his fishing pole.  He said, “When your fishing, you gotta pay attention.”  Good lesson. 
 Later the God-moment sunk in, and he told me this would make a great sermon.  He said I could tell his fishing story of the ten-pound catfish that stole his pole, and then tell the story of the disciples that fished all night and went fishless, and then Jesus told them to cast their net on the other side and they caught a mess.  Well, Peter responded to the Lord, “Master, we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets” (Luke 5:5).  Needless to say, after all the fish they hauled in, they probably wore out several fillet knives cleaning them all.  During that fishing adventure, Peter learned something about himself.  He said, “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!”  Jesus responded, “’Don’t be afraid; from now on you will catch men.’ So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him” (Luke 5:10b-11).
 Peter would have never discovered God’s call on his life if he had not paid attention to Jesus.  He could have said, “Forget this. I’m tired, and I’ve been fishing all night long. I need a root beer.” But he didn’t.  Instead he said, “…but because you say so, I will let down the nets.” That’s what I’m talking about!  When Jesus speaks to us, and calls us to do that which goes against the conventional thinking of the time, we ought to pay attention and respond, “…because you say so, I will do it.”  All Peter needed was the word of Jesus.  That’s all we need. 
 Next time I have preacher’s block, I think I’m going to take my kids fishing….and pay attention.

The Bridge: Moving On Into a Glorious Future

With hands still calloused from pyramid-making, millions of Hebrews stood on eastern banks of the Red Sea.  Across the turbulent waters, they could see the western bank dotted with the dead bodies of Egyptian soldiers, reminders of 400 years of back-breaking slave labor. A past of shame washed down the drain in one night.  The Warrior God of Israel defeated the ancient world’s strongest army and delivered the weakest people on the planet.  Washing Israel’s enemies away in the Red Sea, God closed forever the door to a shameful past and opened the gate to a glorious future—Canaanland, the Land of Promise. 
 Sunday night our church family crossed over to the other side where God has opened the gate to a future ministry that will transform this church and this community.  Glory to God for the overwhelming vote of support for the construction of the Bridge Building which will serve as a ministry launching pad to show the love of Jesus to Seminole and the surrounding area! 
God works in His time to give birth to the dreams He plants in the heart of His people.  Sunday afternoon, I found a great letter from Jewell Raney describing how the idea of a Family Life Center has been in the hearts and minds of our church family for years.

Back in 1975 on May 11, Mother’s Day, our Church had a very special Sunday that we called “Double Miracle Sunday.”  We set a very high attendance goal for Sunday School and I believe we exceeded our goal.  We had special guests including Miss America, Jane Jayroe, an OU football star and others.  Among other special things we did, we put together a Time Capsule which was to be sealed and opened in the year 2000.  On a special Sunday in year 2000 we opened the capsule.  Placed in the 1975 capsule was a new Baptist Hymnal, more than 240 adult signatures affirming the Cooperative Program on its 50th anniversary, a tape of the Miracle Day worship service, a church directory, a Sunday bulletin and a copy of the financial report, messages to the 21st century church from Youth, Median, and Senior Adults; and a letter from the Pastor, Wana T. Archer.

 Here is the message from the Pastor to the 21st Century Church:

May every member be excitedly involved in carrying out the Great Commission by personal witness and stewardship of financial resources.
 May the community of Seminole be reached for our Savior to the extent that His Name is the discussion topic even in the business community.
 May the family be strong, with men active as spiritual priests to wives and children.
 May our facilities be improved so that everyone has easy access to all buildings and physical comfort.
 MAY A FAMILY CENTER BE STANDING, SERVING THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY, ESPECIALLY THE CHURCH FAMILY, MAKING THE CHURCH THE FOCAL POINT OF FAMILY RECREATION AND FELLOWSHIP.
 May all be done in and through the indwelling Spirit of Jesus Christ, to His praise and glory.

 God has blessed First Baptist Church of Seminole not with a shameful, but glorious heritage of faith.  Let’s not waste it on ourselves.  As God commanded Moses, “Tell the Israelites to move on!”

Crossing the Bridge, Part 2

Yogi Berra, the Hall of Fame New York Yankee’s manager, used to say, “The future ain’t what it used to be.”  As a church family,  we can feel the tension in that statement.  The future holds uncertainty creeping around corners around which we have not yet peeked.  The future harbors challenges in valleys we have yet to cross.  The good news is that God is already in the future!  And we can trust in His wisdom and grace to guide and direct us.  God leads his people in strange ways.   The Psalmist exalted the Lord by writing,  “Your path led through the sea, your way through the mighty waters, though your footprints were not seen” (Psalm 77:19 NIV).  God leads His people through mighty waters, even though His footsteps are invisible.

Sunday evening, we had an encouraging meeting as we heard recommendations from the Building & Budget Team and the Bridge Team.  These two recommendations are the result of much discussion, research, and prayer.  I appreciate the effort of these teams and their desire to take care of facility needs in order to maximize the effectiveness of ministry at First Baptist Church and in our city.  The two recommendations are listed below.

Building & Budget Recommendation on Capital Need Projects
The Building Team and Budget Team recommends securing a Baptist Foundation Loan of $300,000 to complete three capital need projects on our facility.  The projects include repair or replacement of the roof, installation of a drainage system on the south side of the church, and the replacement of carpet in the sanctuary, foyer, offices, and fellowship hall.

Bridge Team Recommendation on Construction of Multi-Purpose Ministry Center
The Bridge Team recommends  the approval of the construction of a multi-purpose life center called “The Bridge” to be located on the North Side of the church.  The financing of The Bridge will we be supported through a loan with the Baptist Foundation and a stewardship campaign among the First Baptist Church family.

The church family will vote on Sunday evening, August 3 at 6 p.m. on both of these recommendations.   We will have a stand up vote pertaining to the Capital Needs project.  Then we will have a stand up vote pertaining to the launch of the Bridge Construction & Stewardship Campaign.  

“The future ain’t what it used to be.”  As Jesus-followers, we face the future not with blind uncertainty, but with bold faith in God’s faithfulness.  God declared, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future”  Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV).

Crossing the Bridge
God is constantly leading His people into new places and fresh experiences.  These journeys require not just faith for the day, but faith for the future.  God led Israel across the Red Sea, but it required faith.   With Egypt in their rearview mirror, the children of Israel crossed on dry land and experienced victory over Pharoah’s army.  But victory at the Red Sea was not God’s only intention.  He wanted them in Canaan, the land of Promise.  Pharaoh and his army were opposed to the idea of losing over two million workers.  It meant they were going to have to start building their own pyramids!   But God did not intend for two million Hebrews to be pyramid-makers.  He created them to be a light to the nations.  In this group of people, He birthed a nation in which to display His majesty and glory to the world.  The first big step to experiencing God’s plan was crossing the Red Sea.
   The Psalmist wrote, “Yet he saved them for His name’s sake, to make His mighty power known.  He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; He led them through the depths as through a desert” (Psalm 106:8-9 NIV).  With Pharaoh’s army breathing down their neck, the Hebrews stood frozen in fear at the edge of the Red Sea’s watery depths.  But it was at this specific moment in history and this particular geographical location that God led them.  Between Pharaoh’s army and the depths of the Red Sea was exactly where God led the Hebrews.  “When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them on the road through the Philistine country, though that was shorter…..So God led the people around by the desert road toward the Red Sea” (Exodus 13:17,18 NIV).  Does God enjoying watching His people squirm in fear? No.  He delights in showing His glorious power in the midst of life’s greatest challenges.
  Crossing over bridges is something that is common when you are a Jesus-follower.  I think we’ve heard the saying, “Let’s just cross that bridge when we come to it.”  The Christian experience is full of those moments, whether it is deciding where to attend college, finding your soul-mate, or overcoming an addiction.  Each of us has bridges that God has called us to cross, led us across, and brought us safely to the other side.  The expanse over which or through which God leads seems insurmountable and impossible to the human eye, but God is able to build bridges over the depths before us.
 Our community of Jesus-followers is standing at the edge of a great expanse with the upcoming Bridge Building Campaign.  The Bridge Team (Winston Neal, Terry Howard, Bonnie Ritchie, Kay Dotson, Lewie Watters, and Mike Jones) has worked diligently in preparing a plan for a multi-purpose building that will expand our facility to meet growing ministry needs.  On Sunday, July 20 at 5 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall the Bridge Team will be presenting the plans for the Bridge Building, or Family Life Center.  It will be a time to pray, ask questions, and discover together where God is leading.  The church family will have two weeks to pray through this decision, and then we will vote on Sunday evening, August 3 at 6 p.m. on launching the building campaign.  Please make this important experience a part of your daily prayer time, as we determine how the Lord is leading us.  “Your path led through the sea, your way through the mighty waters, though your footprints were not seen” (Psalm 77:19 NIV).

Sense for God

Because of the poor judgment and the malpractice of a doctor, she lost her sight at six weeks old.  For years her mother anguished over the mistake.  However, her mother encouraged her  by “telling her that sometimes the Lord permits one of His children to go without the sense of sight or hearing in order for the child to develop his other senses more fully and so fulfill God’s purpose in life.”  Because of her mother’s constant encouragement, hymn-writer Fanny Crosby “developed a phenomenal memory, learning much of the Bible by heart.” 
 Your sense for God’s work in your life can become dull and calloused.  Anxieties about family problems, financial stress, and pressures at work or school have the potential to deaden and paralyze our sense of God’s presence.  This is a dangerous condition.  When we lose our sense of God’s presence and power, then we are not likely to depend on His promises, rely on His resources of strength, wisdom, and peace, or follow wherever He leads.  Sometimes God has to shock our senses through life experiences or physical conditions that teach us to truly rely on Him.
 Fanny Crosby wrote thousands of hymns.  She wrote in 1903 how God used her physical affliction to sensitize her to the presence of God in her life. 

The poor doctor who had spoiled my eyes soon disappeared from the neighborhood and we never heard any more about him.  He is probably dead, before this time; but if I could ever meet him, I would tell him that unwittingly he did me the greatest favor in the world.
 I have heard that this physician never ceased expressing his regret at the occurrence; and that it was one of the sorrows of his life.  But if I could meet him now, I would say, ‘Thank you, thank you’—over and over again—for making me blind, if it was through your agency that it came about!
 Why would I not have that doctor’s mistake—if a mistake it was—remedied?  Well, there are many reasons: and I will tell you some of them.
 One is that I know, although it may have been a blunder on the physician’s part, it was no mistake of God’s.  I verily believe it was His intention that I should live my days in physical darkness, so as to be better prepared to sing His praises and incite others so to do.  I could not have written thousands of hymns—many of which, if you will pardon me for repeating it, are sung all over the world—if I had been hindered by the distractions of seeing all the interesting and beautiful objects that would have been presented to my notice.

Isaiah 42:16 says, “I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth.  These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them.”

VBS - I Gotta Tell Ya

          I gotta tell ya what happened around here last week!  Picture this… on Wednesday, I got to sit on the floor outside the 4th grade VBS room after four kids asked to stay behind to talk to their teacher.  They had questions and DaVonna Landrum had answers.  I then listened as she led them in a “sinners prayer” and I heard the sweet words of hope and courage as they prayed.  Earlier in the day we had two 5th Graders do the same thing in Joan Dotson’s class.  I asked myself what brought this about; especially since we hadn’t planned on bringing an invitation until Thursday.

     I could tell you it happened because the Holy Spirit was present and brought about conviction in their hearts; and I’d be correct.  I could tell you it was because we had over 100 volunteer teachers and youth making everything perfect; and I’d be correct.  I could tell you it’s because Beth Clark and Susan Kemp began months ago planning a perfect VBS; and I’d be correct.  You know what else would be correct?  It would be that we have a church family and a community of faith that loves Jesus and has a genuine desire to share his saving grace to a lost world and children in our community.  Truly exemplifying Acts 1:8 “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

     If you want to see proof about our church family caring about kids just look around.  Early on Sunday mornings, under the direction of Ann and Brett Walker our vans with volunteer drivers roll out of the garage to pick-up kids.  They arrive to class with teachers who have been praying for them all week long and who have a lesson plan ready.  We have adults all over the place who’ve agreed to sit with them in Worship.  Then, we watch them as they’re released to Kings Kids (our Children’s Church) where Gayla and Larry Hicks with a host of weekly volunteers are ready to reach them with the love of Jesus. 

     VBS would have not been possible without our average of 102 volunteers to greet the 170 plus children each day.  Aunt Lulu (Margo Tims) and Angel Patterson were awesome in Worship Rally and boy did our volunteers make positive things happen.  Betty Horn did double duty! She worked older crafts everyday and also prepared our open house meal with Bro Don and a host of helpers.  Time doesn’t permit me to list and thank everyone; I know one thing for sure… God knows each and everyone of them.

     I’m saving the best for last.  I gotta tell ya the most important thing about last week.  We had over 16 children make a profession of faith in Christ or a decision to follow Him in Baptism.  Please pray about the task before us as we follow-up, disciple them, and help them on their new journey of faith to become “Lifelong Learners of Jesus Christ.”  If your interested in helping us with this investment, please contact me.

A Life Lesson from Oozing White Stuff in a Freezer in the Church Kitchen

Checking up on some popsicles in the freezer in the kitchen, Bonnie Ritchie and Tina Pollock experienced quite a surprise.  They opened the freezer door only to be greeted by a massive blob of white substance slowly oozing out of a box of once frozen bread dough.  After quickly shutting the door, they told Bro. Matt who in turn encouraged everyone to get in on the oozing bread dough by saying, “You gotta see what’s going on in the kitchen!”

            We eventually discovered that the freezer’s breaker had flipped during the storm, thus ruining all the food inside the freezer.  Sixty-degrees in the freezer transformed the frozen bread into an oozing, growing white blob of mushy, malleable muck.  We figured pulling this bread out of the freezer grill would be a meaningful ministry experience for our summer ministry intern, Josh Smith.  Cleaning oozing bread dough for the Kingdom….sounds meaningful enough, right?

            The Bible says a lot about bread.  When the children of Israel were taking their 40-year hike through wilderness they came to the Desert of Sin (Exodus 16).  They hadn’t made it past the first rest stop, when someone piped up— 

“Hey, Moses, I’m staaarrving!  When are we going to eat?”

“Is that your stomach? Or, is your camel growling?”
”I’m so hungry….ugh! I’m going to die if I don’t get a pot of chili?”

“Moses, did you bring us out here to starve or what? We need some snacks!”

Food is one of the best topics for complaining, but when your hungry, really hungry, even a saltine cracker or a carrot stick can be delicious.  God listened to the people and sent quail every evening and every morning, He sent a thin, wafer bread-like substance called manna.   God sent just enough manna for that day.  They were to gather just what they needed for that day, not make a run to the Supercenter and try to stock up the freezer or fill the ice chest for the road trip.  They were supposed to gather just enough manna for their family for that day.  Some tried to fill a few grocery bags and sock it away for a snack, but God’s expiration date was at the end of that day.  If they tried to store it up, it just turned to nasty maggots and began to smell.  How could something so sweet turn into something so disgusting?

The first few days went well.  Roasting quail over the fire in the evenings, dipping quail hot wings in a little Head Country or honey mustard.  (I may have misinterpreted that just a little bit.)  In the mornings, all the sweet little families would gather their manna to make bamanna bread, manna waffles, manna French toast, manna crackers, manna this, manna that, manna all the time, manna every day, manna, manna….manna!  manna!  Enough with the mannnnnnnaa! 

That’s exactly what happened.  The people got fed up with God’s provision.  God met their need in response to their grumbling, but He was trying to teach them something—be grateful to God, and depend on Him not for tomorrow, or yesterday, but for today.  Today is all you’ve got.  And all you’ve got today is what God has given you for today. That which He has given you is just what you need, so enjoy it and be grateful.

Making a Difference In the Good Ole Summertime

          I still can’t get my mind off of last weeks Children’s Camp.  We had 81 in our cabin and 15 of our kids made a decision for Christ.  How exciting to see God move in such a mighty way.  Making a difference was Colton and Abigail.  When I told them how great it was that they invited friends to hear about Christ and to accept him into their hearts, I was reminded of the sacrifice of our Church Family who sponsored bunks and gave of themselves so that Children could have a perfect place to hear about God and his redeeming plan! 

     You can be extremely proud of your sponsors; they made a difference this summer by praying, sharing personal experiences, and loving on everyone of the kids.  Our sponsors were George and Gina Cheves, Rhonda Coates, Hannah Dye, Steve Kean, Gary Pitson, Kim Parks, Paul and Josh Smith, and Margo Timms.    Can you believe our student sponsors Lauren Forgety, Janna Smith, and Emily Yates spent their first week of summer at a Children’s Camp?  I also have to give props to our student band consisting of Brittany Chambless, Dalton Coates, and Jordan Pollock.  They “rocked” and the kids loved ’em.  Under the direction of Bonnie Ritchie and her kitchen crew of Tina Pollock, Ashley and Rachel Cheves and Amelia Coates we ate like there was no tomorrow.

     Summertime is a great time for kids.  You might even say it’s made just for them.  Curfew is extended, more sleepovers and they go for days without shoes and maybe even a bath.  For many of us; summertime is a perfect time to rest and relax; after Vacation Bible School of course.  Speaking of VBS, it begins next Monday, June 9th thru 13th from 9am until noon.  All Children who have completed Kindergarten thru 6th grade are invited.  This year our kids will know, speak, and live God’s truth-aloha style.  “Teach me you way, O Lord, and I will walk in your truth….” (Psalms 86:11)

     We need nearly 100 volunteers to make VBS happen.   Please contact Susan Kemp or Beth Clark if you have a few hours to spare in reaching kids for Christ.  I’m also looking for a few good men who can make a difference next Friday from 1-3 pm cleaning-up so our teachers won’t have to.  If your available please contact me at the office.  More people come to know Jesus Christ as Savior at VBS then any other single church event and 25 percent of Oklahoma baptisms are the result.  Come make a difference in the life of a child! 

     VBS, Youth Falls Creek, Mission Trips, Student Events,  whew!  We’ve got lots of activities, lots of events; and lots of opportunities for you to Make a Difference in the Good Old Summertime!
