I have a new blog address that I will use mainly for personal use, although, there is no possible way to separate personal life from pastoral life…however, if you would like to hear, see and learn more about me and my family you can do so here. That is deriklawrence.wordpress.com

Please be much in prayer for Bro. Austin Gardner’s father. He has had a series of strokes and is undergoing tests today to determine the extent and treatment. He has been admitted to the CCU at Park West Medical Center in Knoxville, TN.

We’re gearing up for a great night of fun! Hundreds of teens will gather tonight to face some fun challenges, win prizes, ride go-carts and stay up all night…but the most important time of the night will be when Dr. Eric Capaci will be preaching. Please pray for safety and most of all for souls tonight!

I’m really looking forward to Sunday a little more than usual…it’s hard to believe, but this Sunday will mark my 15th year in the ministry! God’s been so good and I want to thank Him for allowing me to be one of His servants!
There are many people I could mention who’ve had great influence in my ministry life, but I’d like to mention one in particular…Dr. Steve Sparks. Fifteen years ago he gave a young kid a chance to serve in a church that has forever changed my life. For 10 years he put up with me and my “great ideas”! I love him and will always be grateful!

We’re having a great time here at the Reformers’s Unaminous National Conference. The preaching has been great and the spirit is wonderful! I’m looking forward to hearing Dr. Gibbs tonight…I love VBC and am praying for the services there tonight.

It’s Labor Day and to be perfectly honest with you I have done anything but labor! You’re not going to believe this but my wife and I literally laid in bed till AFTER 11:00! Seriously, I can’t remember the last time we did that but it was great. We had the sweetest time however, talking, holding and praying with one another…I love my wife and I love spending time with her like that today. As far as the kids were concerned, we didn’t know what they were doing and the house later told the tale!
We had a good weekend starting off on Friday night eating an incredible steak and enjoying time at one of our church member’s homes…very relaxing.
The boys and I o Saturday had some serious bonding as we went dove hunting together for opening day…not many birds, but good times with my boys!
The spirit of our people was off the charts Sunday and we had some really good services! From the opening choir song to the invitation Sunday night, it was a good day. Sunday morning we had one teen and five adults baptized and Sun evening we had another teen and a child baptized.
Sunday evening we had our Kids Choir program and I think it was one of the best to date. The kids really sang well and I appreciate all the work the directors did.
Seriously, I love serving the Lord at Victory and really love seeing His hand of blessing on us. Thank you, Lord!

Following Him…”Because My Family Needs Me To” is the theme for this month’s Sunday AM preaching series. I think it may be the most effective so far this year. Please pray that it will be!

“Never, never pin your…faith on any human being: not if he is the best and wisest in the whole world. There are lots of nice things you can do with sand; but do not try building a house on it.”
