4 men at Grits and Greens last night for The Forge. We’ve been focusing on “Men of the Bible”.

Last night, we studied about Barnabas. He was nicknamed “Son of Encouragement”. Although he was a leader, Barnabas was more known for the support he gave to the church, to other believers, and to the sharing of the gospel.

This study made me think of Whetstone, a mentor/mentee program which was presented at the convergence on Saturday. If you have not heard of Whetstone, look into it on the June 8 Preblast: F3 Gastonia Whetstone Launch. Please sign up if you haven’t.

Good fellowship and some great American history stories from Freight ended the evening.

If you’ve not attended Forge, come join us at Grits and Greens in Lowell on Wednesday’s at 6:30.

As Summer vacation gets semi underway, it was a privilege to Q at the Goat.

Word:

Remember, in our words, actions..who we are in Christ if we know Him. We are now new creations, and that by His grace alone, we don’t have to-and can’t-work for our salvation. If we have a relationship with Him, God sees us as righteous-not my righteousness, He sees the righteousness of Christ.

Is. 41:13 For I, The Lord your God, hold your right hand. It is I who say to you, Fear not, I am the One who helps you.

Always a blessing and honor to lead!

The night before at The Forge, Freight spoke on friendships from “The Book of Manly Men”.  He talked about the importance of true friendships. YHC gave a quick reminder of the ultimate friend we have in our Lord Jesus who took away all of our sins, took upon Himself the wrath of God in our place, and gave us His very righteousness.

YHC took us out.

Truly very thankful daily for all of you. It was an honor to serve as Q!
