This past weekend I was speaking in St. Louis, Missouri. On Sunday I took as my text Luke 13:1-5 and spoke on the subject of Repentance. There were approximately ten thousand people present and the Lord seemed to come down among us. Whatever results we received I will give all the glory to the Lord.


This Sunday at Berean Baptist in Grand Blanc, Eric Stewart will be preaching in our first service and Chris Smith will be speaking in the second service. I will be away speaking to a large Spanish group in Palm Springs, Ca. Your prayers and intercessions will be greatly appreciated. We will be giving out the booklet Authentic Christianity 101. This is a booklet that both defends and declares the gospel of God's sovereign grace.


Let us not forget that these days are the opportunities for all of us to shine for our Savior and God Jesus Christ the Lord. May we be faithful in exalting Him and proclaiming His gospel to the ends of the earth. I will be back in the pulpit at Berean on March 9th and we will be having communion on that Sunday as well.


God bless you all and may we remain faithful in the service of our King!

Pastor Dickie -

My name is Russell Climie and I am a TEAM member that was part of your Sunday morning service in St. Louis in February. My wife and I are from Grand Rapids, MI and are working with Mike and Christy Raatz. We are so thankful for Mike and Christy for helping guide us over the past two years. We all attend Calvary Non-Denom Church in Grand Rapids, MI and it's great having a business and spiritual mentor all wrapped into one. One question that I wanted to direct to you specifically was regarding books relating to the Catholic faith. We have numerous people on our teams that are devout Catholics and because of that, faith is unfortunately not brought up all that often. It typically begins and ends with something like "well that's your faith, but I'm Catholic..." Can you recommend any resources for myself to better understand the Catholic faith first and then any resources I could use as tools to help them understand why a person must know and believe Biblical truth and not church doctrine? I would appreciate any suggestions you may be able to provide. You may contact me at russ@tiberiusimages.com.

At your service,

Russ

I also wanted to let you know that every time my wife and I hear you speak you are better and better! St. Louis was by far the best Sunday morning service we've heard from you yet! Thank you for being a great leadership example through your own personal growth!

At your service,
