OPEN

Hey guys and gals!  Greetings from Port St. John, Florida!  My mom is still having a bit of a rough go with the pain, so we decided to stay with her just as long as we could before heading back home. We'll be back late Saturday night.  Thanks to all for your prayers and support and for not just holding down the Fort, but continuing to fortify God's vision for Crossroads while we are gone!  

I want to encourage you to really reach in to your circle of influence today and tomorrow and invite people to attend our service on Sunday morning.  I PROMISE that I will honor that invitation by not embarrassing you (unless you find old fat guys in Hawaiian shirts, spraying shaving cream and tying people up with ropes embarrassing), and by giving a positive presentation of the person of Christ.  

Dig this:  It's not possible to have too many people show up when you're only 6 Sundays away from providing a 350-seat venue for the Gospel, yeah?  Don't back off.  Rather press in, and more so with each passing week!  Compel them to come. We are open and they are truly welcome.  

I can't wait to be with you all on Sunday.  God has a great message of faith, hope and love for all of us through His Son Jesus Christ!
