Faith and belief comprise a very important part of our lives. A person's beliefs in many ways
define who they are -- how they see themselves, what they want out of life, and more.
On this web site I'll offer a
personal account of my own beliefs. I'll describe how my beliefs have changed my life in profound and exciting ways, and how
I think they might change the lives of others.
I'll also be sure to provide links to my favorite sites as well as information
about organizations that help strengthen or support my beliefs.
Thanks for visiting, and be sure to get in touch and
let me know what you think!
Ouestions and Answers
Here are some answers to a few questions I have been asked.
- Why is your church called Crane Creek P HC, instead of a name like, Trinity,
Living Hope, or Calvary? There are two reasons, one is that the second church building
that housed the congregation was in a community named Crane Creek, the second reason is because of the very beautiful and
graceful Cranes that lived in the creek that ran through the community, their beauty and peacefulness was choosen as a symbol
of the beauty , peace, love and brotherhood of the congregation , that would be a reflection of Jesus love and grace.
- What would you consider the best or favorite church that
you ministered in? The churches I have ministered in have been so vastly diffrent, that to try to compare
them would be impossible, each has been a blessing to me, I have no favorite; but , some have more memories for me: Leckie
PHC , Boyds'Chappel,Maybeurry COG, and Conklintown COG (where I grew up), Lower Heyford SBC (where I met Dr. RT
Kendall and Dr. Martin Lloyd Johnes, Trinity Tabernacle, Memorial Assembly of God, Barkoloo Road COG, Cedar Beayou SBC (
all in Baytown Texas, where I both served and learned invaluable lessons) The Roman Catholic Church in Bichester England(
where with the sisters I helped with a wonderful youth group ); Cutecumber PHC where I served as Lacy Griffith's ( once you
meet him, you never forget the raskle) Asst. Pastor; Trinity Temple, where I served as Ralph Smith's Associate Pastor
and we created Trinity Christian school (grades kindergarden through 12th); Gary PHC, who sponsered my Ordination, and lets
not forget the many wonderful memories I have and am creating at crane Creek PHC at this time.All the churches were unique
and in their own way special
- Your father was a Pastor , what is it like to follow in your Father's footsteps?
I don't really know , I have served the Lord Jesus, for 36 years now total, he only had 16 years
of total service and is now retired, most of his ministry was well after after I had already entered the ministry
( there was a few backslidden years;but, praise God he overcame that) ; but, the two years he Pastored, before my Ministry
started was instermentle in teaching me both things to do and to advoid doing.
- Is it difficult to be a minister, with so many illustrious
ancestors, who had great reputations and achievements, do you feel pressured to live up to their standard? No, I believe that their standard was Jesus Christ, and just trying to be the best servant they could be for Him,
its the same for me. They only did what Christ led them to do, it is so for me. I care not for worldly fame, only
to be the minister Jesus desires me to be, if I achieve that, then I have achieved true greatness. There is no pressure, when
you let Christ have His way with your life, just open doors and blessings, God the Father, God the son and the Holy ghost
does the real work, plessing and accomplishments, we as ministers, just happen to be blessed to represent Him as He achives
his will and grace works here on earth.
- If you could go back in time and change things, what would you change?
Nothing, I believe that everything that has happened to me good or bad, every thing I done right or wrong,
was part of the perfect and permissive will of God, and Christ has been Lord over it, and it all makes me the Christian man
I am now. I have learned more from my mistakes than from my accomplishments.
- What is the best advice you can give me to be what God wants
me to do? First: accept Jesus as your Savior; Second: Dedicate your life to living as He would have; Third:
Pray every day, Fourth: Study the Bible, every day; Fifth: Attend Church and support it ; Sixth: treat your brother as you
would want to be treated; Seventh: sing songs ( whether you can sing or not) of worship and praise God daily, Eighth:
Witness, tell the world about Jesus and the joy Hes given you; Nineth: Never turn away from God or righteous and holy living
and finally tenth: Look at Jesus as your motivation, not any other person, and look expectantly for His personal comming for
you at death or in the Rapture, and hearing the words:"Well done thou good and faithful servant!"
