After we've had a chance to hear from one another, we'll hear the second half of Cooke's Game Changers message. Make your reservations via email today.<br />

Before that, he was on the other side of the fence. In his own words, Roger says, “As a young person, I was messed up on drugs for too many years and in and out of jail too many times.”<br />Because of the faithfulness of one woman who dared to share the gospel with him, Roger gave his life to Jesus. Today he testifies that God takes us with all of our hurts, habits and hang-ups and transforms us by His grace, to fulfill His purpose in us and through us. <br /><br />In 2008 Roger began volunteering with Interfaith Outreach Association in the Progressive Release Program. Volunteers in this jail ministry teach men and women basic life skills based on Biblical truths. Roger became the program’s full time director in 2009 when he retired from the USPS after 33 years. <br /><br />Roger and his wife Colleen Myers Paul have been married for nearly 36 years. They moved to Lynchburg with their two sons so Roger could complete a degree in counseling at Liberty University. He is currently working towards a Masters in Pastoral Counseling.<br /><br />Roger’s life verse is Ephesians 2:10, “For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR TO SPEAK IN MAY</span><br />Mark your calendars now for Wednesday, May 2nd!

<br />
Song of Solomon speaks of love and relationship: seeking out the one you long to be with. Picture Jesus romancing his Bride. He longs for us to spend time alone with Him, listening at His gates, learning of His ways and thoughts.<br />
<br />
Our worship comes from our relationship with the One who loves unconditionally. No boxes, only freedom to be who He created us to be. Are we searching daily in His Word to behold Him?<br />
<br />
Do we wait at the gates of the morning light, just to be with Him? Before the world awakes and all the hustle and bustle begin? Do we worship in the quiet of the moment spent with Him? Do our hearts burn within as we see his face and know Him more?<br />
<br />
Psalm 32:7 speaks of our Lord surrounding us with songs of deliverance and shouts. He is our hiding place. He preserves us from trouble and is ever present with us. Are we hiding in Him? If we are, our hearts will become one with His.<br />
<br />
No fears, only praise to our God who loves us so much! Praise should be as easy as breathing. Heart to heart communication. Joy expressed from the overflow of our relationship.<br />
<br />
Worship will flow out of that relationship. We know Jesus paid our sin debt in full on the cross, a symbol of love and compassion for mankind.<br />
<br />
As we worship, we take our new place before the Lord. He inhabits our praise and worship. We exalt Him to His rightful place of authority.<br />
<br />
Satan hates our worship. He lost his place before the throne. Satan whispers to us to try to stop our worship. He keeps us busy and burdened down with the cares of life. He says we are unworthy. He keeps our shortcomings before us.<br />
<br />
But Jesus has set us free from all of the Accuser's lies.<br />
<br />
So now, we exalt our God because He is the only true Deliverer. We acknowledge Him as our Savior. Worship places Jesus in His rightful place on the throne of our hearts. It takes the focus off of us and our troubles and puts Him first. As we focus on Him, our outlook changes.<br />
<br />
What we focus on we will worship. So cast all on Him. Let him carry everything for you. So let us worship like David did, freely, with joy. Give it your all, your whole heart. The Lord said David was a man after His heart. Are we?<br />
<br />
Give your heart today.<br />
<br />
As we begin a new year, make worship your new lifestyle.Lynchburg Day Aglowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10773744519575588500noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712904546268944712.post-60775565156546806472010-12-29T13:05:00.002-05:002010-12-29T13:07:37.487-05:00Into All the World<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a bitly="BITLY_PROCESSED" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TsQAMSjv-P4/TRt3w7mxWuI/AAAAAAAAAAc/FoTMluzsHCs/s1600/josh+fairchild.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TsQAMSjv-P4/TRt3w7mxWuI/AAAAAAAAAAc/FoTMluzsHCs/s1600/josh+fairchild.jpg" /></a></div>What if going into all the world meant traveling slightly more than an hour from home?

One of the things that drives me craziest is her constant pronouncement of her ailments.<br /><br />When I pick her up from school, somewhere in the course of “how was your day?” is a visit to the school nurse. On weekends there is always an ache, something-in-her-eye, or at the very least a hang-nail all of which could be cause for a prescription for morphine. If I had a nickel for every Band-Aid or bandage I’ve handed out for one of her many medical concerns, we would be a very wealthy family.<br /><br />This morning God whispered, “Kelli, when she comes to you with a hurt, what she’s really asking for is a blessing.” I’m sad to admit that when my daughter comes to me; my response is usually “Yeah, yeah, what’s your problem now?” This morning, God showed me how inappropriate that response is to the real request, “Mommy, will you bless me?”<br /><br />God blesses us again and again no matter what we bring to Him…our brokenness, our need for healing…our type “A” personalities, colds and plans for accomplishments. Even if He gives correction, he never brushes us off. He says, “Come to me… and I’ll give you rest,”(Matthew 11:28). “I delight in the details of your life,” (Psalm 37:23 NLT) and “I love you,” (Isaiah 43:4).<br /><br />In the end, I’m thinking back to my initial prayer time with God. Okay, so maybe my daughter gets a little bit of the drama queen from me. I am overwhelmingly thankful for my Father’s response to my many needs. Today, I determine to hear my precious daughter’s real heart requests…and bestow a blessing, not a brush off.Cherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03571320182271615693noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712904546268944712.post-49995005213326705702010-11-23T20:00:00.000-05:002010-11-23T20:00:00.489-05:00Through Lime Colored GlassesBy Sharon Proffitt<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uOoCKgfYvVM/TOxgAwNk7QI/AAAAAAAACFQ/xa3sUHg2bbE/s1600/glasses.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uOoCKgfYvVM/TOxgAwNk7QI/AAAAAAAACFQ/xa3sUHg2bbE/s320/glasses.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542910807444352258" /></a>I just returned from a trip to St. Louis to see my son and daughter in law, on what was perhaps the best visit yet. I can’t say exactly why it was the best visit. Maybe because Justin didn’t have to work the whole time we were there; maybe because we didn’t have to share our time with other parents; maybe just because we knew that it was the last time we would drive to see our kids. They will move to LA in December. On future trips, we'll have to fly.<br /><br />If you have grown kids you know that a lot of time is spent on the young - teaching, training, and talking them into seeing your point of view. I don’t say this is right, just that it is. I guess we think we can make them like us, if we think that’s a good thing, or make them different from us, if not. We want them to have more than we did, or have better chances than we did….on and on and on. I’m not sure on a scale of 1-10 how successful a parent I was, depends on who you ask, but I’ve realized parenting grown kids requires a change of perspective. I have to put on some new glasses, if you will.<br /><br />I have four (counting daughters-in-law) great twenty-something kids. I genuinely like them and they seem to enjoy spending time with their dad and me. They have a wealth of knowledge that I don’t have about a lot of things. I see the way they embrace the new world and seem to already master the technology of today. When you’re very computer-challenged you are easily impressed, I know. I learn what I can from them, or just ask them to do some things for me. They give me advice on TVs, computers, cars, and all kinds of services. I rely on them to make good choices. Most of these aren’t major things, but sometimes they can be.<br /><br />My older son and his wife are parents of the cutest 2 year old in the world. I watch how they parent and nurture and I’m blown away. I see the person that they are molding and she’s amazing to me. Friends say the same things I think. They say how much they appreciate my son, or how insightful he is. These are words that make a parent proud, but the truth is, it’s not about me. He’s just that way. I think he’s someone I can ask for advice on far more than technology. His wife is the most patient teacher I’ve ever had. I’m grateful for all the things that my sons and daughters have to give, and not just to me, but to the world around them. <br /><br />There are still a lot of things in our kids’ lives that we’d like to see them do differently. They make choices differently than we would. There are so many things we can see that they can’t at this point, but…I have decided to be thankful for the great stuff, enjoying the good times, and learning as much as I can while I have the time with them. I want to speak encouragement and bless them. I want to see them make their difference on this world. I think they are doing a pretty great job!<br /><br />A change of perspective is good for all of us. Life certainly looks different when I put on my lime colored glasses.Cherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03571320182271615693noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712904546268944712.post-64241903652008074692010-10-27T11:52:00.001-04:002010-10-27T12:13:57.198-04:00Identity Crisis<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TsQAMSjv-P4/TMhN6hIMmnI/AAAAAAAAAAM/r997nCYHPRw/s1600/4587_90882464165_90876939165_1796846_8171173_n.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 208px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TsQAMSjv-P4/TMhN6hIMmnI/AAAAAAAAAAM/r997nCYHPRw/s320/4587_90882464165_90876939165_1796846_8171173_n.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532757809945156210" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><i>Has an abusive relationship given you a false identity?<br /></i><br /></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">Hear how the Father's perfect love brings restoration at the next:</span></div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">Lynchburg Day Aglow Community Lighthouse</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br />Wednesday, November 3, 9AM<br />Speaker: Pastor Lewis Tucker, Jr.<br />James River Conference Center, Lynchburg<br /><br />Pastor Tucker is the author of "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Damaged-Goods-Restoring-Power-Fathers/dp/1432728725">Damaged Goods</a>."
