Well, we have a Cowboy Church now in Huntington. I don't know how it started or who the pastor is. A typical pattern revealed itself in just a few weeks: a new paint job on a building, a sign (Living Waters Cowboy Church), the black deco of a horse and a cowboy with his hat off kneeling at a cross, and then, a full parking lot (with mostly pick-ups btw).
What does God think of "specialty churches?" How about a Sports Church? What about a Hunting Church? A Fishing Church? A Computer Church?
Doesn't the "specialty" take away from the One who is to be the focus...Jesus?
Revival
Psalm 85:6 "Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?"
I am privileged to pastor a wonderful church (Ora MBC) that is supportive of evangelism / revival opportunities that the Lord allows me.
Looking forward to preaching at First Baptist Church Wells (April 22-25), All The Kings Men (April 30), Sulphur Springs BC Zavalla (May 15), and Grapeland MBC (June 6-10).
At Ora, we will be having revival services May 16-19 with Bro. Davy Hobson preaching.
Revival services can be scheduled, but revival will not happen unless we humble ourselves before the Lord and truly repent and seek his face. I pray God gives me the strength and leadership of the Spirit to preach His Word like never before.
I know that I will give account of everything said from the pulpit.
I have two quotes written in my Bible that I occassionally look at. One says, "I preach as never sure to preach again; and as a dying man to dying men." I read that and am reminded that preachnig should never become commonplace.
Another says, "There is freedom in an identity that is anchored in a place beyond all human praise and blame." I read that and realize that Christ is the anchor of my soul and the praise or criticism of man shouldn't affect me at all.
I pray for my preacher brethren regularly, some whom I know well, others who I barely know. I hope that you will pray for me also.
