GOD is better than great ... period!
I am sitting in the back of the sanctuary at Canaan Missionary Baptist Church. I am watching Pastor Tommy Reynolds perform the first baptisms for the church The Lord blessed him to begin.
This inaugural baptism service is a real blessing. I believe Pastor Reynolds has baptized a total of 11 people tonight. WOW! What a blessing. In a day when some churches that have been around for years are not baptizing at all ... or very little, Pastor Reynolds is baptizing 11 people to the glory and honor of God most high!
Go 'head Pastor Reynolds and THE NEW BEGINNING'S FELLOWSHIP!
This is an awesome church and awesome pastor and Co-Pastor, the Rev. Nancy Reynolds.
Pray for them.

MEN'S DAY @ CMBC 2010
To God be the glory for the things He has done, is doing and shall yet perform.
I first heard the gifted preacher (yes I said preacher); and teacher, Deacon Harold L. Simmons while participating in a Conference hosted by the Laymen's Auxiliary of the National Baptist Convention USA Inc. a few years ago.
I was so moved by the fact that Deacon Simmons responded to questions thrown at him during a class he taught (I sat in the class); with answers from The Bible that I was committed then to ask him to come and share with the men of CMBC.
Some time later I heard Deacon Simmons (who serves as President of the Laymen's auxiliary of the National Baptist Convention USA Inc.) share from The Word of God again.
I asked him to come and share with the men of CMBC during what I termed "The V Conference" (Men of Vision, Valor and Victory).
He came and shared with us this past weekend. He provided leadership to our Rap Session on Friday, our Conference on Saturday and preached The Word of God twice on Sunday.
WOW! WHAT A PREACHER! (Yes ... I said preacher). He was Biblically, sound, encouraging, helpful, and he accurately handled "The Word of Truth".
Thank you Lord for this man of God.

DESTINY CHURCH!
Recently I had the opportunity to preach for my friend and brother Dr. Emil Thomas, pastor of Destiny Church in Baltimore Maryland.
WOW! What an experience. Pastor Thomas and Destiny Church are not only extremely generous in the way they me (and the two additional guests from our church who went with me); ... they went beyond the call of duty in terms of their generosity and kindness.
In addition to providing me with beautiful accommodations, an in room basket, etc., Pastor thomas showed me a great time by just hanging out with me for a while.
Pastor Thomas and Destiny Church are loved by this minister and the CMBC family. I am grateful to our God for the friendship we share.
Finally, know that the name "Destiny" church is befitting this pastor and people. I believe they're serving The right GOD. They are being preached to from The right book ... The Bible- consequently they are growing in The LORD. The people who walked the aisle the Sunday I was there (people who have apparently been coming for some time); are evidence that the word is out that Destiny church is destined for greatness as long as they keep their eyes on The LORD.
Thank you Pastor Thomas for the opportunity to come and share God's Word at your warm and wonderful church.
May The LORD continue to bless and keep all of you.

ON THE EAST COAST
It's 10:26pm Arizona time and 1:26am here in Baltimore Maryland. I am so honored to be here. My friend and brother, Dr. Emil Thomas has given me the opportunity to come back to the east coast and preach at the great Destiny Church where Emil serves as pastor.
The ocassion for this Sundays service at Destiny Church is the Men's Annual Day. Pray with and for me that our God will use me for His glory and our good.
In addition to my being here, I am also thrilled to have Bro. Robert Nettles Jr. and Sis. Gail Nettles from Canaan Church here with me. Bro. Nettles serves as a musician at CMBC and has come to represent the men of CMBC in song. Sis. Nettles has come at my invitation and of course more importantly to accompany her husband. That said, let me testify to the goodness and grace of our God when I say that Bro. Nettles' uncle passed away days after we made our reservations to come to the east coast. We had no idea his Uncle was going to go home to be with The Lord when the reservations were made. His Uncle lived in North Carolina. The home-going service for his Uncle is tomorrow. Bro. and Sis. Nettles would likely not have been on the east coast and therefore not able to make the funeral had we not already made arrangements to be here. Indeed God is good. The Lord knew that Bro. Nettles' Uncle was going to die and that the funeral service would be the same weekend we were already scheduled to be here.
Both Robert and Gail are on their way to Greensboro, N.C. now. Pray for their traveling grace and mercy. Pray that the funeral service is just what The Lord wants it to be. Now then, also remember to keep Deacon Robert Nettles Sr. (Robert Jr's father and brother of the deceased) and family in prayer. He arrived in N.C. yesterday.
Even after midnight there is something exciting about being here on the east coast.
Thank you Jesus for this blessed opportunity. Use me for your glory and our good.
Amen.
