Sunday was a very special time at LifePointe Church. There was a lot going on, and it was all good. I'd have to say Sunday's service was one of the most holy times we've ever had in our short existence.We had baptism, the third time this year. With four baptized, that makes ten in 2010, and fourteen since Thanksgiving. There was a mom and son baptized, along with a father and step-daughter. It's always moving to...

Once again, God graced LifePointe and we had another wonderful time together. The place filled up and there were lots of new faces with us. After the service we had a young man become a new follower of Jesus Christ. There's nothing better than that!We had some special guests today. The praise band from First United Methodist Church, here in Amory, took on the role as our band this morning. Two of our guys, Jeff...

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. For the past 8-10 months several members of our band have played at two churches, all on Sunday morning. They sacrificed their time to help us have the best worship music we could provide. We're thankful God brought alone...

The Pointe is the student ministry of our church, LifePointe. They had this crazy idea and decided to follow through with it. The results was awesome.They ordered some squeeze water bottles with their logo and website printed on them. They stuffed these bottles with various other things related to The Pointe and a Gospel of John. Friday night they all went to the local hangouts and gathering spots for the teens...

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...
