Church

Just wanted to let everyone know that we think we have found a church. The funny thing is, it is the first church the Jameson's were members of when they moved to North Carolina. Green Street Baptist. We had visited several times before, but had only been to Sunday School. We went to Sunday School and Worship Service today at Green Street. They have a fairly new minister and we got to hear him preach today. He is AMAZING. I have never felt so spiritually fed in a church. The sermon was on using the Bible as law and showing reverence, considering it the authority, and applying the Word to daily life. Funny how God works. These have been things that Benji and I have really been talking about lately. Really applying the Word to our lives.

Sunday School was surprising as well. We really enjoy the teacher, and today he was talking about bringing friends to the Lord. Will we be prepared with what to say and do when we are asked about our faith? We have several couple friends that we are very close with that really do not "do" church. They will say that they believe in God, but that is as far as it goes, words only. Benji and I prayed fervently last night for our friends, and then walked in to Sunday School and were asked immediately if we had friends or family members that we wanted to reach. We were able to share about our friends. It was really an fantastic feeling. We know He knows all, but to know with that kind of immediateness that God heard our prayer was pretty awesome. I have always wanted to hear His voice, His actual voice and know with out a doubt that it was the Lord telling me to do something or answering my questions. Today we found out what that was like. God heard our prayer last night and gave us some answers today. Amazing.

Erin and Benji, this was so great to read about your church experience today and answered prayer. Isn't it ironic about returning to Green St. We have always said their SS for you when you were little was the best. You must get up with Frank Hensley, remind him who you are and give him a greeting from us. He is such a fine Christian man.
Love, Mom
