The Greatest Little Church in the World...

Today, I left my position of pastor at New Vision Baptist Church in Mayfield, KY.  It was a bittersweet day of worship, celebration, and sadness.  The church has watched me grow as a minister of the gospel over the past 9 years.  They have raised my children and saw me through the darkest days of my life.  I haven't been gone 12 hours and I miss them like crazy!  In times like these, we question God.  We wonder why he would ask us to leave something we love so much!  It's also in times like these that we must TRUST God and know that he ALWAYS has a plan.  Folks have continually asked "Where will you go?"  Like Abraham, I'm not sure -I just know it was time to leave and God will show us the way.  God is preparing another man to lead the flock at NVBC.  A man who will bring fresh ideas, energy, and new life to a group of believers with more potential than they will ever realize.  I will miss my little flock dearly and pray they unite during this time and keep their focus on God's kingdom while searching for their next leader.  My final words to the church were those of our Lord Jesus Christ in John 15:17, "LOVE ONE ANOTHER...."
