3 Years - Time Flies

We had an awesome day of Worship today! Today we celebrated 3 years of ministry as a local church (Cornerstone) and also Family and Friends Day. 3 years ago, my wife and I along with 6 others stepped out on faith and trusted God that He would lead people to the place where we worshpped. There has been much adversity; and MANY lessons that I've learned. I am taking all of these lessons and see how God has tested our faith. I am learning that a faith that is 'tested' is a faith that can be 'trusted.' This year is going to be a year like NONE other. I anticipate God doing some amazing things in the life of our church that will literally devastate the Devil. Thank God for 3 years!!! I was a little displeased with some of our members who were out. However, I am not at all mad at the members who were not there. As far as I am aware--the members who were out had legitimate reasons for being out. AND...we changed the date from the 2nd Sunday to the 3rd Sunday a couple of weeks ago. I understand when things must be done. Of course as Pastor and the designated/ordained leader, I will ALWAYS be a little more critical and insist upon more participation. So it is nothing personal with any one person. Of course, attendance was still good with our guest church being Friendship Baptist Church in Corpus Christi, as they accompanied my eldest brother, Rev. Kevin Lanier Pullam. This young man did an awesome job in delivering the Word of God. He is in a series at His church going through Psalm 119. He shared a portion of that series with our church and our people were tremendously blessed. I can honestly see some of the people of our church really growing in the Word and really passionate about God's Word.
