Ever hear the old saying “as slow as Christmas”? I would think that December 25th is the most anticipated day of the year. Not just here in Deridder, but all around the world.  The closer it gets the slower the days seem to move, for the children anyway. We wait and wait and boom, just [...]

This past Sunday at Christway Church I spoke on the gift that was given to Mary. When the Angel of the Lord spoke to Mary and offered her the gift of the Christ child it had to be a mind blower! Her only hesitation was one of reason. “How can this be since I’ve never [...]

Your focus determines your reality!  What is your focus on today? When Jesus came to this earth and took the form of a human, He had focus. That focus was to reconcile mankind once again unto Himself. Everything that He did was to make this so. Every person that He healed, delivered, raised from the [...]

Jesus healed a lady that had an issue of blood for twelve years. Remember the story? She had spent all her money on doctors and still the issue was draining the life out of her. With what strength she had left, she pushed through the crowd and touched Jesus. She was healed!  We all have [...]

I really didn’t know what kind of a deer season I would have this year. But as you know,  Christway Church here in DeRidder, blessed me with The Beast! So thank YOU! I can still get around in the woods and enjoy one of the things I love, just being outside in this great place [...]

My nephew Rico came home for a visit recently. He is a soldier in the U.S. Army and is stationed in Kansas. He will be shipping out to Iraq next month. When Rico was home he spoke at Evans High School and Evans Jr. High. He was a guest of the 4H clubs. I was [...]

You gotta love this picture! As Joe was shooting grades for “The Lodge” foundation, Brother Vic was giving him some pointers. We appreciate you, Brother Vic and Ms. Kelly, for all that you do to make Christway Church such a cool place to worship and mature in Christ. Thanks Brother, couldn’t do it without you! [...]

Now that the new Youth Sanctuary is complete we are turning our full attention to the building of the new Christway Church Auditorium!  It’s so cool to see the foundation being laid. The foundation is without a doubt the most important part of any building. A roof won’t stay if the foundation gives way. Kinda [...]

Christway Church was looking good in orange for the Beauregard Parish Fair Parade!  These things take much work and planning. Just wanted to give a “shout out” to all the folks who worked so hard to make CWC’s parade float look so cool. I’m not gonna name names because I know I will forget and  [...]

We are blessed at Christway Church of DeRidder to have Larry and Kacy as our youth leaders!  They are not ashamed of the Gospel and are  not afraid to take the issues that our teens face head on. I am excited that the new youth building is all but finished! We received Fire Marshal approval [...]

Christway Church, I don’t think I have ever seen so much orange? Well, maybe on opening day of rifle deer season on Clear Creek WMA? Ha! I know we have over  a hundred  children that attend Christway Church each week. But to see so many of them show up in their orange parade shirts to [...]

It has been a few weeks since I last posted a blog. So I got lots of catching up to do! Let’s see, on September 19th we had a great turnout for our New Comers ‘Meet the Preach’ dinner. It is great to see the Lord continuing to grow Christway Church of DeRidder by leaps [...]

This past weekend Josh and Krystal tied the knot. This young couple looked great as they exchanged vows before God and man. Going into this God given covenant that says they will love each other until death do they part! They chose a very nice place in Iota, Louisiana. It was a beautiful garden and [...]

It was a beautiful clear day, and even for September here in Louisiana the air was very cool and crisp. Me and several men were working around the church. My pager buzzed, and it was Sandy. I walked inside and gave her a call. She told me that a plane had crashed into one of [...]

B S is the only way I know how to start this blog. Do I have a  Bull Story for you! JT Reeves loves to crawl up on the backs of 2000 pound bulls. He has been a cowboy since birth and has ridden more bulls than most of us have seen. The crazy thing [...]

Man, I give God praise for this day. This is the day that the Lord has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it! I was glad when they said unto me, “Let us go into the house of the Lord!” This Sunday at Christway Church I was GLAD to be there. After [...]

After third service today we had close to fifty men from Christway Church hit the road headed southwest. The CWC men were invited to attend a two-day men’s conference. The Little Country Church (which is not small at all) of New Caney, Texas, have been our guest at our last two men’s retreats. Lots of [...]

Our tenth anniversary was a tremendous success!  Everything was spot on. Brother Dale Yerton preached a couple of great messages that challenged Christway Church to new levels. Pastor Dino Rizzo batted clean up on Wednesday night and hit a home run! As Pastor Dino Rizzo shared the history of Healing Place Church in Baton Rouge [...]

Dale Yerton brought the heat tonight at Christway Church of Deridder. I can honestly say that his sermon was so good that it could be in my top ten list of the best sermons I have ever heard. If for some reason, you were not able to attend Tuesday night’s service, you need to put [...]

Talk about bringing a word from God! Brother Dale Yerton preached like a man on fire tonight. It is easy to see why he is one of the most sought after speakers, not only in America, but the world. Talk about favor, that’s what we have here at Christway Church, to have a man of [...]

Faithful Journey did not disappoint. They ushered in the presence of God through the gift of praise and worship that the good Lord has placed upon them. The anointing was strong at Christway Church, and I could not have been more pleased with the job that Faithful Journey did for CWC.  Don’t miss out on [...]

Monday night we are gonna get our praise on!  We have a music group called Faithful Journey coming to Christway Church. This praise and worship team can Bring IT! I have a couple of their CDs, and their sound is first class. I so look forward to hearing them live and can hardly wait for [...]

I am looking forward to seeing Brother Dale Yerton today. It’s been about a year since I last saw him, and even though we speak on the phone often, it’s gonna be nice to sit down and have a meal together. The last time he was at Christway Church here in DeRidder, he preached all [...]

Well, we got our Tenth Anniversary Celebration kicked off today!  We had lots and lots of folks pass through Christway Church. Good food and great fellowship was the order of the day. We had some really cool bikes and muscle cars to check out too.  The kids had a blast inside the sanctuary. Two big [...]
