We have a good day of worship at Shiloh today. For the record, each Sunday we are privileged to gather together for worship is a great blessing. I went into our main building much earlier than usual this morning to get my Bible. But our Greeters were already gathered, preparing to greet the worshipers as they came into the doors. Thank you sisters for your service. I enjoy my time with our new members this morning. I did not finish my lesson, however. I don’t know where the time went. We sung “How Great Thou Art” as a congregation this...

To God be the glory!Thank you to all of our volunteers. You make it happen at Shiloh? And I am glad to have you on our team.An open appeal to Roy Jones,...

But the Lord gave me strength to get through the day and blessed our worship services in a rich and powerful way. We celebrated the Lord’s Table in both of our worship services yesterday. I believe it is one of the highest times of worship when the saints commune together to deliberately remember the Person and Work of Christ in the manner he prescribed. I taught my New Members Class yesterday for the first time in about...

Can you believe it? Yesterday, it was New Year’s Day. Today, January is over! Wow! Psalm 90:12. I spent five hours in the emergency room with Crystal last night. But she is feeling better today.

But the Lord helped me get through the day, as he is faithful to do. Thanks for your prayers for Crystal. 5th Sundays are Missions Emphasis at Shiloh. I have been introducing the church to...
