A VERY LONG WEEKEND AHEAD

It is Friday and I am preparing for a very difficult weekend. Most people who read this blog know that I am the Pastor of Victory Baptist Church. Victory is a small Reformed Baptist Church located about 20 minutes south of Abilene, TX.

I am a bi-vocational pastor and my other job is the United States Air Force. I work over 40 hours a week and then I preach over 4 hours a week. Finding time is difficult already and this weekend it is going to be even more so. I usually work Monday- Friday 7:00am to 4:30pm but beginning tonight I go to work at 11:00pm and work until 7:00am. This means come Sunday morning when it is time to teach Sunday school and preach for the morning service I am going to have already been up all night. These hours is going to make studying very difficult as well. So if you think about it please pray for me this weekend.


SermonAudio.com was featured in USA Today. I am so glad that Victory Baptist Church agreed a number of years ago to place our sermons on Sermonaudio. It has been the best decision we have ever made. I would challenge all Churches to place their sermons on Sermonaudio. You may place your sermons on your church web site but how many people are actually going to find your site and listen? Sermonaudio has a built in audience and usually day or night there is about 2,000 people on sermonaudio looking for sermons.

Here is the link to the USA Today article:

Religious teaching straight to your iPod


Within the article I found the following statement very interesting:

A survey last year by the Pew Internet & American Life Project found that more people used the Internet to look for religious and spiritual information than to download music, participate in online auctions or visit adult websites.

Think about that statement for a few moments. More people are on the Internet right now looking for spiritual information then looking for porn!

If that is true then as Christians we need to ask ourselves a very important question, what are we making available to these people? Are we creating blogs that are providing people important spiritual information? Are we waring people about the false faiths?

Are we providing the best teaching we can for people to place on their I-pods and Mp3 players?

What our out teenagers doing? Are they using the Internet to speak out about their faith and challenge their generation or are they simply creating web pages that talk about their favorite hobbies?

The world is searching but what will they find? What are you doing to help them find the truth?

I hope the members of the Preaching Today blog will be challenged by the USA Today article and we will work even harder to use this blog for God's Glory
