GODS GLORY!

Last week I asked on some of the higher read blog’s for as many who could to pray for me as I was preaching at the high school baccalaureate Sunday evening. I have been extremely broken for these kids most of whom do not know Jesus as Lord and Savior. I worried that I would offended folks if I preached a evangelical message and would cause problems for the school which has allowed me much freedom in sharing Christ at the school. I called a good friend and a guy I call my Pastor and asked what should I do? His words “preach like you know you should.” We should worry less about offending people and start worrying more about what offends God! The service went very well the other Pastors in the other churches joined with me in Prayer before and the whole service was really good my oldest daughter played 2 songs and sang I believe one was Jennifer Knaap and the other was by a new girl Bethany Dillon. She did a great job! The first thing you must know is she is very shy but also very talented we moved to Ketchum from Sand Springs which is outside of Tulsa her jr. year and it has been really hard for her to make friends but Sunday night as she sang her class mates sat there with stunned looks on their faces none of them knew she could play little lone sing like that even her grand parents didn’t know. I preached about Being an example using 1st Timothy 4:12 Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but rather in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity, show yourself an example of those who believe. I also used 1st Corinthians 13:12 When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things. For those who needed a Savior I used Romans 5:8 and I personalized it But God demonstrates His own love towards Kevin, in that while Kevin was yet a sinner, Christ died for him. I really wanted them to know that it is a personal decision and that u can’t get there on someone else’s Salvation. Then another Pastor gave the charge to flee from the temptation of miss-using your new found freedom. All in all it was a very good service and I fell God touched hearts. Please Keep praying for the 40 some young adults we have another chance to give them the good news this Friday at the Sr. Breakfast were all of the students will be there. In Him Kevin Lancaster
