Thanks to all of you who offered me birthday wishes this week. Very kind. Truly encouraging. Thanks again.
Suzy Keith, a longtime member of the Shiloh Church church, passed away this week. She was 96-years-old. Her service, kindness, and faithfulness will long be remembered.
Pray for my Pops, Dr. John A. Reed, Jr., his family, and the Fairview Baptist Church of Oklahoma City. This week, Pastor Reed’s wife of 52 years, Patricia Reed, transitioned from earth to glory.
My friend, Joe A. Carter, who serves the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, was to be our guest speaker this week. He was not able to be with us, as he went to be with his pastor, Dr. Reed. But Phillip Pointer, Pastor of the St. Mark Baptist Church in Little Rock filled in last-minute and blessed us richly!
Shout-out to Dr. Jason Allen for the opportunity to speak during chapel at the Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary this week.

Redemption is not a peripheral matter, rather it cuts to the very core of Divine activity. From the foundation of the world God has determined to bring about redemption in Christ. – R.C. Sproul
