For the past several months I have been on a reading binge. I've had a least two books going continuously since the beginning of the year. And I've read a bunch of really good ones, all recently published and released. But last week I started on a classic I'd never read before: Shadow of the Almighty, by Elisabeth Elliot. I was blown away. Of course I'd heard the quote most attributed to Jim Elliot: He is no...

With lots of young families and a holiday weekend, I was expecting our crowd to be slim. And we did have a lot of our regulars out but several new faces were there. All in all, we had a very good crowd. If we ever have everybody show up at one time, we're going to break records!Our band was on fire! The stage was full and they really brought it. The rain poured and the thunder rolled the entire service. The...

Today was a tough and bittersweet day at LifePointe. We had a wonderful service but was tempered by a bit of down news. Today was the last day our present band played for us on a regular basis.

We're thankful God brought alone...

LifePointe Church had a fantastic day today. We're still down a bit in attendance, but baseball and softball are about to wrap up. So when everyone gets back we're going to be pressed for room. A great problem to have. Bob, our worship leader, was out today. This left James to lead the worship. Today was his first go at it and I have to say he did a great job! With Drew on drums, there were four young ladies...

Somehow I stumbled across an article a local paper published after interviewing me about an African mission trip. Thought I'd share it and also give myself a link to the article to preserve the link. The interview was done after my first Africa visit, in 2005. The link is below. Enterprise Journal: Africa Mission Trip Posted via email from RobWestbrook.com
