I have gotten several e-mails from other pastors and even some of our people asking what it feels like to have broken through another growth barrier (hopefully) in the life of RSC. I'll be real honest, it doesn't feel any different. :)
Our goal is to rock this town with the message of Jesus Christ and nothing more. Until everyone in this community knows Christ, we will position ourselves to grow and make no apologies about it.
If there is any change in the way it feels is the OVERWHELMING desire to draw closer to God. More then I have in a long time I have a unquenchable thirst for prayer, the bible, reading books. I never want to be the hindrance to God doing great things here.
I feel the spiritual attacks like never before and I feel the need to draw close to God because the stakes are high and eternity hangs in the balance. It isn't a game and I feel that very strongly lately.
The thing is I should always feel that way, not just with what is going on lately.....
