Fighting for Jesus
I am so proud of Bobby Hernandez. He is allowing the brilliant light of Jesus Christ to shine brightly through him while he competes in Mixed Martial Arts. Last Saturday, night several of us went to see him compete in his first amateur competition. The pic above shows me and Adri (his girlfriend) praying for him before the match. Notice the very cool shirt!
The crowd is a dark one. Much in need of a light. Thank God for people like Bobby, who enter in and are not ashamed of the Gospel. His shorts said, “Jesus didn’t tap out”. He knelt to pray before the match. A couple thousand people were there watching. Bobby fell short in the match, but progressed the message of hope! No doubt.
Go Bobby!

Locked Out
Here is a piece of what is coming this weekend @psmchurch – We (humanity) were locked out of the Garden of Eden in Genesis 3. Why? Can we get back in? If so, when?
After Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, satan’s promise had, in a backhanded way, come true. Adam and Eve had, in a sense, become like God in the knowing of good and evil (verse 22). But there is a great difference as well as some similarity. Both man and God knew good and evil, but in a vastly different way.
Perhaps the difference can best be illustrated in this way. A doctor can know of cancer by virtue of his education and experience as a doctor. That is, he has read of cancer, heard lectures on cancer, and seen it in his patients. Read the rest of this entry

PromiseLand and Brock Family News
Last night, at our church leadership team meeting (about 60 folks) we announced that Matt Brock’s family will be moving back to West Monroe, LA. It was a sad moment when He called me and let me know. We love the Brocks so much. Matt has been a huge part of this church for the last 14 months and he really helped us transition into a great level of worship. He is so passionate about God and leading people closer to Him. That is why he was such a good fit for our church. His musical, vocal, and people skills are amazing.
They have decided to move back home because Read the rest of this entry
