Pastor’s Blog

After several months of inactivity on the blog, I will try to (notice I said try) to keep this thing a little more updated. Taking time to jot down some thoughts is sometimes difficult to do. There is so much going on, that I will just mention the new radio broadcast. Starting tomorrow on WTBI, we will be on the radio from 3:30 to 4:00 PM each week. The men of the church approached me about their desire to have the preaching that they hear at Pleasant View made available to the people of Greenville. I have had a desire to be involved with a radio ministry for sometime, and thankfully, God has allowed us to start tomorrow. Even while in South Africa, I tried several times to do so. The rates there were unreal, and there were no Christian radio stations to speak of - some religious, but nothing like what we have here in America.

Some have also asked why my outlines are not being posted. I have been writing my outlines out on paper since June instead of typing them out. So… I have this huge stack of outlines scribbled out on paper, envelopes, etc. that need to be transcribed. Eventually maybe… Any volunteers?? It seems that the scribbled, handwritten outlines preach better than those typed out. Doesn’t make sense, but when it works, why change it? God has blessed us with some great messages in the past couple of months. Contact Bro. David Jones for a list of messages available on CD if you are interested.

One last note… I just received a new shipment of 100 more copies of The Exceptional Man. These make great Christmas and birthday presents for the men in your life. Contact us today for your copy, and if you request it, I’ll autograph it for you if you’d like. God has used this book to help hundreds of men. I encourage you to get one if you haven’t already.

PS. Bro. Vincent Agbodo, missionary from Togo has translated my discipleship book, The Principles of Growth, into French. What a blessing! Also, a missionary in Hong Kong has asked for permission to take several thousand of my tract, Where Are You Going When You Die? with them to Hong Kong. I’m amazed at what God is doing!
