Mission 3:16

Hey all,
Take a look at this:

For God so Loved: HIS LOVE ENDURES FOREVER!
The World: LOOK AT WHAT THE WORLD HAS BECOME!
that he gave his: HIS SON
only begotten son: A GIFT TO US!
that whosoever believeth in him: NO DISCRIMINATION
shall not perish BUT have everlasting life: HE LOVES U

Isn't it wonderful to read and re-read this verse. We can never forget God's love for us. We need to be reminding ourselves everyday of how much he loves and cherishes each of us. In that same light, we must strive to talk to him everyday. Like I said yesterday, isn't it awesome that the King of the Universe wants such a close personal relationship with each of us.

What a mighty God we serve!
May God Bless you and Heaven Smile on you!

Beginnings!

Hey all,

This Sunday September 21, 2008 marked a milestone in my family. Together we were able to dedicate my little nephew, Rodney DeShawn Endsley Jr. It was an honor for me to stand alongside my sister India and Rodney, along with my grandmother, dad and relatives to support my sister.

Now if you know me you know how important family is to me. Over the last 10 years (yep, I've been at CWC for 10 years this October, wow the time flies) I think back to when I first started attending CWC. I came without any of my family to a newfound church family that opened it's arms to embrace this baby Christian guy from Detroit. And now as I serve the Lord and continue my journey as a minister of the gospel what an awesome feeling of God's grace that I could look out and see my family, but church and immediate gather together to worship the king of kings. And this precious little life is what brought everyone together. As we prayed for him I just thanked God for this blessing, and prayed that he will grow up to be a strong man of God someday!

As we look at our children we must never forget that they are the future, and no matter how bleak things may look in the world, we have got to work our hardest to help lay foundations for our kids. So as you look at this picture of the smallest member of the Fullum Family, think of all of our babies and how we must make ourselves disciples of Christ in order to minister to them. The harvest is here ladies and gentlemen, lets be about God's business!!!

Experiences in the Pit

Hey all,

Have you ever run over a pothole? Now you may be thinking (especially here in Michigan, all the time), but actually I am talking about spiritual potholes. These are those things in our lives that come along and try to distract you from the path that God has set you on.

I think in order to add some clarity to this journey we need to look in scripture. Specifically read John 13:1-17. As I shared with a few people this week, in reading this scripture (the washing of the disciplesh feet) has this question ever occurred to you: "Why in the World would Jesus wash the disciples feet"? Afterall he is Alpha and Omega, the coming king, and here we have the image of him washing the feet, lowering himself as a servant.

Ah yes, you have probably thought of this and to go a bit further you probably realize that Jesus was setting the example for you and me. On this jouney we are destined to run into potholes but in the same way that Jesus set an example for us, we are to set the example for those around us. When the hard times come of course our first reaction may be to panic/lose hope. In truth, through prayer and supplication we must learn that the bad times will not last. No matter how many pot holes we run over, we must steady our course. Moreover we must come alongside one another and be that helping hand through the rough times. This is the example that Jesus set, to be a servant to all. As the Fall kicks in and Children's ministry, youth ministry, Adult Bible Studies and Sunday morning celebrations rev up, let us not forget he who was servant to all!

May God Bless you and Heaven Smile on you!
