Tragedy of Death Before Birth

We need reminders like this one so that we will pray!  For every 100 live births in Washington D.C. there are 265 abortions!  O God, have mercy!

Thank God for Carey and Amy Dean and Their Children

Five years ago God gave Rocky Bayou Baptist wonderful gifts-- the Dean family!  On Sunday, May 22, our church blessed the Lord for His goodness by honoring His Word, "Remember your leaders..." (Hebrews 13:7).  It was a splendid morning because I think the church's Shepherd was pleased with the manner in which our church family honored and encouraged Carey and Amy and their kids.  Please join me in continuing to thank the Deans for their ministry among us!  Carey, thank you for being a Worship Pastor Plus, a Persevering Pastor, a Praying Pastor, and a Passionate Pastor!

Do I Practice Risk-Averse Faith?

Please go to desiringgod.org and watch/listen to a  very brief piece posted (on May 12) on the blog about "Risk-Averse Christianity.  It goes well with the recent sermon mini-series about suffering and joy and it greatly challenges me.  You, too, may be challenged to really trust God and see what He can do.    Pastor Carey

JOIN ME IN THANKING GOD

Please join me in thanking God for Chris Quinlan!  Having blessed our church family for ten years of faithful service on our staff, Chris followed the Lord's leading and began a new job this week.  Pray for him as he learns and for our staff as we adjust to this change.
