making_JESUS_known
A third emphasis of RGBC is “Making JESUS known to our neighbors and the nations.” This pillar is built upon the first two. As believers mature and take an active part in ministry within the church, they can then be better witnesses outside of the church. Jesus has mandated that believers take the saving message of Christ to their homes, their places of employment, their schools, and to the entire world. In keeping with our mission, RGBC is thrilled to have a Spanish speaking church, Iglesia de las Americas, meeting on our premises. Iglesia de las Americas holds their own 11:00 am worship...
Read MoreStruggling to Know God's Will? How is Your Heart?
An Unguarded Heart equals Not Knowing the Will of God! Proverbs 4:20-23 My son, be attentive to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Let them not escape from your sight; keep them within your heart. For they are life to those who find them, and healing to all their flesh. Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life. God woke me up this morning and caused me to read and ponder on the subject of an unguarded heart. I began reading “Living Beyond the Daily Grind” by Charles R. Swindoll which is where most of the information I write here comes from. I would...
Read MoreRevolutionized Faith!
It all started with a simple email. The email was from the library informing me that my interlibrary loan book was in and that I needed to come pick it up. The book was called How to Worship Jesus Christ by Joseph S. Carroll. The professor that I am an assistant to at Liberty University mentioned the book in her class last week and said that it was a “must read” for all Christians.

After reading it, I was...
Read More…being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit
It was quite a week. Angie saw her first cockroach and even swept up a mummified rat in the house! Steve had dry wall fall on his head and pull a nail out of his shoe. Bob Tucker lost a little hair off the top of his head, eyebrows, and eye lashes when he was burning some wood and a gust of wind had the fire lick up his body once. I had a broken soul…. that is my shoe broke and we tried many venues to “heal this soul” of mine. We had many laughs together as we worked side by side with a team from Canada. Oh how it blessed us to bind with them in God’s work. There are...
Read MoreThoughts from Gulfport
“Humble yourself, and cease to care what men think.” ~ A.W. Tozer “It will do us good to be very empty, to be very weak, and so to go about our Master’s work.” ~ Charles Spurgeon These quotes seem to sum up the experience that I have had this week in Gulfport. Simply, it is all about Christ. The moment that my “self” was put ahead of the Lord, I became discouraged. But once I put Christ ahead of everything and purposed to serve Him and Him alone, then I was satisfied in Christ. It didn’t matter if I heard the word “thanks”, or was...
