This has been the first time that I have been by a computer since the beginning of the conference. I would have tried to update everyone while at the church, but lighting struck the power lines and knocked out all but one of our computers and everyone has been using it for one reason or another. Coincidently, our phones were knocked out as well. So if you have been trying to get a hold of someone at the church, please call me on my cell phone (601) 906-7710 and I will try to forward your message. If you get my voicemail, which you will if you call me during one of our sessions, please leave a message and I will try to call you back.

All these things aside, we have had a wonderful time. Dr. Joe Nesom preached on the “Consistency of the Word” and showed how through both the Old and New Testament that Christ is shown as our Prophet, Priest, and King. Rev. David Miller preached on the “Conversion and the Word” and admonished us stop using programs or and modern tactics to try to “grow” our churches but “preach the Word.” He reminded us that it is the only way that we are going to see true conversions of sinners into disciples. It was incredible to hear such wonderful preaching. What a great way to start the conference. We also had a great time of fellowship afterwards at our dessert fellowship.

This morning Rev. Huey Moak preached on the “Power of the Word.” He showed that the word of God knows us through and through and has the power to reveal to us our own sin and the power to change us. Next, Rev. Todd Wilson preached on the “Sufficiency of the Word” and showed us that although the Southern Baptist may have fought and won the battle over inerrancy, we have a long way to go before we win the battle on sufficiency.

Tonight we return to hear Rev. Isaac Makashinyi preach on the “Perspicuity of the Word” and Rev. David Miller will be preaching on “Calling and Election of the Word.” I can’t wait.

All sessions are available at Sermon Audio for a free download.

We also nominated several men to serve on a future board of directors for the Deep South Regional Founders Conference. We will vote on the nominations tomorrow morning.

If you have not joined us yet, there is still time.
