I was raised Southern Baptist, was born again at Wilkes Baptist Church in Rutledge Al. Backslided deep into sin as a teenager and into my twenties. But, as the wayward son Jesus mentioned, I returned home and I thank God for His unlimited mercy.

I so embrace my Baptist upbringing and I believe it has much to do with my passion to see all people come to Jesus. Just as KFC's main thing is the chicken, God's main thing is restoration of relationship for all mankind and it only comes through Jesus. KFC has other items to offer, the main thing is not the only thing. Jesus came not only to save unto eternal life but He came to give gifts unto men and His will concerning gifts has not changed because He is the same yesterday today and forever. (Eph 4:8 & Heb 13:8)

You see I have been healed of Hepatitis C which doctors said was impossible, taken from the dunghill to corporate America which the world said can't be done, and have flowed in the gifts of the Spirit which so many say aren't real or have passed away. They are real, they are not scary, goofy, or cooky. They are given to us for our profit, Glory to God! I challenge you today to read 1 Corinthians chapters 12,13, and 14. Go ahead and get some cole slaw, bake beans, and you know how good the biscuits are to go with your chicken. It makes the main thing so much better. "Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren I would not have you ignorant." (1 Cor 12:1)
