Sunday reflections

Having watched almost every play of the Vikings mauling of da Bears (which actually turned out closer than I expected), it’s time to weigh in with my thoughts about today at CLC:

fairly typical Thanksgiving weekend attendance at every campus – meaning I look forward to everyone being home and not-hungover-from-Turkey-overload next Sunday!
I never get tired [...]

A thank you letter

I just received this from Senegal, and thought I’d share it with all our readers – and especially the CLC  team of 20 or so who just recently returned – CLC: you are making a difference!

Dear friends and partners,

Ask the Pastor

One of our CLC-SW members wrote, I have a question for you that I have always wondered since I got saved! Why do we not see the gift of interpretation of tongues in the church these days???
Great question!  I wish I had the wisdom to say, “I don’t know” (because that’s the honest truth).
But since [...]

Are you looking up?

Here’s my thought for THANKSGIVING – found in the familiar story of Jesus feeding the multitude with a little boy’s lunch - Luke 9:16.
Notice that Jesus didn’t look down at the small lunch in his hands.
Neither did He look out at the teeming, hungry crowd, perhaps 20-25,000 strong.
He didn’t look around for some other solution to [...]

Too good to keep….

Just received this report from our partners in ISRAEL, and I thought it would be good ‘fuel’ to stoke the fires for your Thanksgiving week, as we all reflect on God’s blessings.  Enjoy the report here-
And don’t forget: CLC will be going to Israel for a missions & sightseeing tour next November 9-19.  Full details [...]

Finally here (and you can get yours)

I posted about this over two months ago.
I promised every CLC volunteer a personal copy of Dino’s message because I was that impacted by it.  Had to jump thru some hoops to get it, but finally it’s here.  And what a great time of year to listen to this message!
Special thanks to Andre & Trina [...]

Sunday reflections

Feeling drained…maybe from caring for a very sick wife for last few days (at least the fever broke last night, and she’s making progress now – after being in bed since Thursday evening) – or maybe just the three-service routine followed by a newcomer’s reception….at any rate, I’m already on the couch as I post [...]

Ask the Pastor

Today I’m going to try to answer 2 questions, since both were submitted the same day, and actually somewhat overlap:
Q (1): Pastor, I have a question regarding angels and statues and I guess you can say any type of graven images. I know that some churches have statues and they even pray to these statues. [...]

Prayer works!

I just got this news, so I’m passing it on to you – we rejoice together!
What is it that you’ve been praying for, that you haven’t seen manifest yet?  May this answer encourage you that MORE are on the way!
Join us tonight at 7:30pm at CLC-TP when we expect healings to manifest!
