Fasting
River Oaks Community Church has begun a 14 day fast as we seek the Lord for direction and wisdom. I really believe that this discipline is one that needs to be reestablished in the western culture. Matthew 6:16-18 shows us that Jesus expected Christians to fast just as much as He expects us to give [...]
The Love of God
Ok…so tonight I did something that I rarely suggest to do. While spending time in prayer I picked up the bible and just let it fall open and began reading.
2 Chronicles 33:12-13 “But while in deep distress, Manasseh sought the Lord his God and sincerely humbled himself before the God of his ancestors. And when [...]

The essence of prophecy
“…Worship only God. For the essence of prophecy is to give a clear witness for Jesus.” (Revelation 19:10 NLT)

Christmas Gift Give-Away 2008
This year ROCC out did itself! We were well stocked with bikes and toys thanks to the generous donations from our church family and local organizations. Even the weather worked out as we had a warmer than normal day! I know that we had over 300 children that received toys and all together unofficially we [...]
Christmas Presence
Last night Camille and I had the opportunity to attend Christian Life Center’s production of the Christmas Presence. This production was an incredible showcase of talent along with a compelling message of the true reason for Christmas. Not sure if they have any more tickets but I highly recommend this if you get the chance [...]
Inspiration
Today, I had an opportunity to meet up with a friend and mentor in ministry. Pastor Jerry from Christian Life Center has always been a blessing to me as he offers years of wisdom and experience to help me face the challenges of ministry. There are times when we all get discouraged yet it is [...]
