Today I’m going to briefly tell you about the new Christian fellowship that some friends and I have started in Tampa, called Equipped and Empowered. Just to start with the basics, we are meeting once a month on Sunday nights at MorningStar Church, located at 5102 W. Linebaugh Avenue, Tampa, FL 33624. We meet at 6:30 p.m. and the meetings last about two hours. Our upcoming dates are August 16, September 13, October 18, November 15, and December 13. The meetings are open, and we would love to see you there. While we do meet at MorningStar Church, this fellowship is not officially associated with any church. At our last meeting, for example, I think we had 25 people, praise God, and we had people from at least four or five different churches. Our leadership team for these meetings is me, Pastor Stephanie Parker and her husband Scott Parker, Rossaue Hosein, and Mark and Midge Graham. I will talk about those wonderful people a little bit later in t...
Recently my wife and I have been going through a rather difficult situation. We lost our jobs and our former company is going under. We are short-selling our house. My wife is six months pregnant with our first child. We didn’t have company insurance so our medical bills are $1,000.00 per month. We need many things, and we sort of need them now. Have you ever been in such a situation? I imagine you have. Now the issue becomes how we go through this time. I’m not saying I’m in the wilderness and I’m not saying that my own mistakes caused this situation. I’ve sought God and I firmly believe that this is a change of season. When the brook dried up God told Elijah to go to the widow. God always supplies everything we need, but sometimes the resource He uses changes. I’m here to encourage you if you are in a difficult time, and I want to discuss appropriate attitudes while in the trenches. It’s been over three months now since we lost our jobs. I’ve spent many days fired up in faith, and I’...
Lately I’ve had some time on my hands. It’s not that I don’t have things to do. I have several clients and my daughter is six weeks old. But I’ve just been reflecting on the direction of our lives. The mindset behind Exploits for God has certainly evolved (with the Holy Spirit’s direction) since 2004 when I first launched the website. But recently I’ve been confronted again and again with this idea of successful Christian living. Just one look at the headlines will make you want to cry. There is so much pain and need in this world your heart can feel stressed and powerless. (It’s so important during those moments to remember that you can’t do everything, but you can do some things.) I hate seeing people sad and hurting, especially children. I know God is going to have me do things about it. But I also hate to see Christians not walking in the fullness of God’s promises. I can boldly say that I’m living a very good life and that it’s all in line with God’s will and plan for me. We’re he...
