We began our day in Lake Worth, TX packing our trailor and moving out of the missions house that we have for so long been blessed to use. With prayer we headed south to Temple, TX on I-35. We arrived at Faith Baptist Church, Pastor Mike Lewis, in the afternoon. We are staying in a missions house that they own until Monday morning when we pull out for the next meeting.
We have the honour of being here at Faith Baptist Church for their missions conference, which runs from Wednesday to Sunday, inclusive. These folks are passionate for missions, and they have a self-sacrificing attitude about serving God.
The speaker for this conference is Brother Joe West. Thursday night Brother West preached about running our race and how utterly incompatable a Christian life of coasting is with Christ Jesus and His Word. Coasting, meaning moving because of the easy downhill road, you do not have to put any effort into it. Here is the strong point to this thought: you can only coast if you are going down hill. The Christian life is a continual climb and if you are coasting you must be going backwards.
