Al Speaks

Our church recently elected a new pastor. I immediately felt a strong connection to him and his wife.The Lord began dealing with me about slowing down at the dealership and perhaps become more involved with some additional ministries in the church. I love our church. I have actively been involved in the church since 1982 when God gloriously saved me. 

As soon as I decided to commit to more works with the church, the adversary began attacking me. First it was small annoying issues with my health, then interferences with the building of a new body shop, to finally the diagnosis I am facing today. This trial is just another attempt by Satan to destroy my resolve. However, I know that "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."

One thing is for sure, whatever happens, God is going to get the glory and I'm going to get the benefit.

Let us all welcome our new pastors: Jacob and Carolynn Smith and daughter, Ashlynn:

  2. We are trouble on every side yet not distressed; we are perplexed but not in despair: Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; Always, bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
    Brother Al I am in total agreement that the Lord has something special for you. One of my biggest blessings in life is have great fellowship with you. I know that all things work together. I am praying for your victory and am totally behind you. I will be fighting with you in this battle. As you have fought many battles with me and have watched me with your own eyes the outcomes of my battles. I to am will be with you all the way.
