When we hear the word “revival” we automatically think of persons being saved. While this does happen during most revival services, did you realize that revival is not necessarily for unsaved people? The word “revive” means to bring back to life again. This means that there had to be life to begin with. This is true in our spiritual lives as well. Revival is actually for those that have had spiritual life infused into them. In other words, revival is for Christians. Are you ready for revival?
In this blog post I want every person to post what they want to see happen in revival? What do you want to happen in your own life? What do you want to see happen in your family’s life? What do you want to see happen in our church’s life? Look forward to seeing your post on the blog..
Serving Regardless,
Pastor Jason

Well, as you can tell Summer time is here and it is hot, hot, hot, and it looks like it is going to be one of the hottest summers we have had in a long time. I hope you have somne family time carved out for you and the family to get away for a time of refreshment and relaxation.
One of the things that I cantinually preach and teach and hopefully practice is when we are on vacation or away from our “Faith Family” that we are sure to worship as a family together somewhere. Now with the internet like it is you can even gather the family around the computer and watch our services live on Sundays. Thanks Anthony and team for your efforts.
The question this month that I want to hear back from you on and I am also interested to know of options is this—when you are out of town what do you and your family do for worship time? I am interested in and would love to know what you do for vacation time worship…
Serving Regardless,

Do you remember as a kid playing hide and seek? I always cheated when I counted and counted by tens to one hundred. We would always play right up to dark and about the only thing that got our attention would be the popsicle truck…as matter of fact I think I hear it now…be right back…okay now that I got my two-ball screwball popsicle we can continue..lol Anyway, the object was to find the best place to hide so that no one could find you. As the daylight hours began to fade and night began to come in, it was amazing how many times we all wanted to be found in our hiding places.
Just a thought–when Jesus comes again, there will be no hiding for those who reject the God of the universe. They will experience devastation and destruction beyond our imagining, calling out the rocks and hills to fall on them and hide them from the wrath of God and of the Lamb.
I love the group “For Him”, even though they are not still together as a group. There is a song they sing called “Hiding Place.” Those of us that have been born-again have the ultimate Hiding Place and His name is none other than Jesus Christ. ( Psalm 32:7 ) The only One that matters has already found us and now we are protected by Him…prasie the Lord!
I would love to hear about when you met your Hiding Place…comment and each comment will be posted the next day….have a great week
Pastor and friend

Hey SHBC and Friends,
It has been a while since I have written on the blog and I am hoping to be able to continue doing this each week. What will help me is for others to comment on the blog with any postives or negatives about the article of the week.
This week I am thinking about how fast this world has gotten just in the last fifteen years. Do you remember when you carried your mobile phone in a bag? It was in that huge “honking” bag with a strap to carry with you. Do you remember when you had a pager and when you got paged you had to find a pay phone? Do they still have pay phones? Do you remember when and if you had a phone in your car it was in a cradle that was mounted in the car? Do you remember when you had to wait for the oven to warm up before you could warm something up instead of putting in the nuke machine ( microwave ). Archie Bunker’s theme song has a line in it…”those were the days.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0d8FTPv955I Do you remember those days?
I am one of those kind of guys that loves to go back and revisit the past years of life. Some of the memories are funny ( when I spit in the fish tank in Creola Parker’s ( God rest her soul ) classroom at Gardendale High School and killed a school of goldfish ) and also some are bad memories ( when I had to pay for that school of fish before graduating ) Already in the 38 years, soon to be 39 ( do you remember when 39 was old ) I have said goodbye to quite a few friends on this side of eternity, and I am sure you have as well. Memories are what God gives each of us so that we can have roses in the winter times of life. ( Vance Havener )
Of all the fast pace things we have in our technology, there is still one thing that never changes and never will–the way to get to Heaven. Jesus Christ stated in the Gospel of John that He was the only way to the Father. ( John 14:6 ) Isn’t it amazing that today we can put a man on the moon ( even though now we have to count on the Russians to help us do that now ) but we cannot earn or find peace with God on our own. I guess my main point this week is for us all to slow down and enjoy this life on this side of eternity–after all it is only one heart beat stopping from being all over.
I love the Andy Griffith show. I am reminded of one episode in which they had a visiting preacher and the message was slow down. The irony of the whole thing was the preacher himself would not slow down to apply the message he had preached. God help us to slow down and enjoy life. The other evening I took my son to a hamburger joint–we sat there and I got to listening to him talk, and guess what–he had grown up right under my nose and here I was staring at a young boy with his theological foundation pretty much started and well on its way to being “his” own. Wow! God help us to slow down!
What are some things or suggestions you have to slow down in life? I would love to hear them my friend…comment…

Hello SHBC,
Day four is now about to wind down and the Lord has not let us down at all. He blessed us with weather about 85-90 degrees and also with a great time of door to door and VBS. We had 298 children attend the vacation bible school and for the week we have had about 70 persons profess their belief in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Praise the Lord–we will be leaving in the morning headed to Antigua for Thursday and Friday. Then the Lord willing we will be flying out headed to Atlanta and then be driving home. The Lord has been good to us this week with some schemes the devil has thrown at us and He still reigns. We are looking forward to being back with our faith family on Sunday at Sharon Heights Baptist Church.
Prayer requests–please pray for no roadblocks heaeded to Antigua on Thursday.
We are looking forward to sharing more fo what the Lord is doing and what He has done in the town of La Mercedes.
Thanks for being a praying people

Well, we are finally here in Coatepeque, Guatemala and the Lord has already blessed us by providing ways to get here. First, we had to purchase another ticket in Atlanta, but this was American Airlines fault, but this was just another wile ( scheme ) of the devil. We are bedding down for the evening and we have got prayer walking and VBS on Monday in La Mercedes. We will update as we go throughout the week. Pray for us as we plant seeds and spread the Gospel through door to door, VBS, and ministry.
This evening we had services at the church and Ernie, Danny, David, and Jamie shared testimonies and I had the privilege of preaching the Word of God. It was an awesome time and Soc and David had the privilege of leading one of our translators to the Lord Jesus Christ. Praise the Lord…keep praying….we are already looking forward to being back with our faith family at Sharon Heights Baptist Church.

Have you ever noticed that we live in a negative society? If we are not careful we will find ourselves tangled up in our own webs as we begin to find any negative things we can about ourselves and others. I think this is a curse from the fall of Adam and Eve and our sin natures that we inherited from our first parents.
But as we begin to think about it, we can always find others around us and especially in other parts of the world that are in worse conditions than we will ever be. Today, I want to hank God for my family, for my church, for my friends, but especially for the salvation of my soul. On December 24th of 1989, the most important thing happened in my life–Jesus Christ came into my life, and guess what? My life has never been the same since–praise the Lord! If you are havng trouble sleeping–try counting your blessings! Name them one by one!
I would love to read how you are blessed…respond and let me know!
