It Brought Me To Tears On The Plane
Have you seen the movie, “Jesus Revolution”? I watched it recently on the plane, and was crying. (real man tears!) I wasn’t ashamed of it, either. There is something powerful that happens when you watch lives become transformed by Christ, and then taking a “Yes Step” through Baptism.
Check out what happened recently at Pirate’s Cove, the setting of where “Jesus Revolution” was filmed from Pastor Greg Laurie.
Yesterday, we held the Jesus Revolution Baptism at Pirate’s Cove. This of course is the Site of the Baptisms of the Jesus Movement. I was Baptized there 50 Years ago, as was my wife, Cathe. But we never had a baptism like what happened yesterday. We baptized 4500 people! There was a line of folks waiting by the seawall. People Came from all around the Nation and World! This may be the largest baptism in American history, maybe world history. God Knows, but it was AMAZING!
We give Him all the Glory. “Those who believed what Peter said were baptized and added to the church that day—about 3,000 in all.” (Acts 2:41)

Stop Expecting YOU from People
"Stop expecting YOU from people." I like this quote...Stop expecting you from people. Isn’t that how it works? We think, “I would never do that” or “well if it were me…” But we are all on a very different journey. We’ve all had different roads and we’re all very...
