Our new youth building (multi purpose building) is almost finished! It brings Sandy and me great joy to be involved in building stuff that will help Christway Church add to the body of Christ. It’s a very large building, and I have total confidence in Larry and Kacy and their God given abilities as youth [...]

I can not tell you how many calls and comments I have received about our recent men’s event. It was a great night in Christ, and all who attended were well pleased. So many Christway men worked very hard to make the night an astounding success! The food was excellent. Bro. Vic and his cooking [...]

I don’t know if you have ever seen any of the cakes that Mary Cross makes. They often depict a certain nature scene or really, anything you want it to look like. She made a cake for the Big Hairy Men’s Event that was very cool. It looked like a duck blind complete with a [...]

My Bride and Emily took me on a trip to the Harley Davidson shop in Lake Charles the other day. I can’t ride my Harley yet, but I sure do like to hear it rumble. We had a great time looking at all the bikes. Of course, my girls didn’t mind taking a look at [...]

What an awesome night we had here at Christway Church. Over 300 men attended our Big Hairy Men’s event! We were blessed to have Jase Robertson as our main speaker. He gave a great word about being a Real Man of God. Jase is a well known member of the Duck Commander crew. The Duck [...]

Today after church, most of our folks who will be working at kids camp all this week moved into Ingallwood Park. We had our camp leaders’ meetings and prepared for the rush of CWC children in the morning! We had a great supper and fellowship. We did find one snake in the kitchen, but I [...]

It was awesome to see another person give their life to Jesus today! We were blessed to baptize two last week also. There is no way to put a price on something that is eternal. All the hard work is so worth one soul. But the good Lord continues to work at Christway Church here [...]

CWC  recently had  graduation services for our seniors. Christway Academy here in DeRidder continues to send young men and young women out into the world fully equipped to be world changers. I am very pleased with all of these guys and gals and am very optimistic about the future. My son, Noah, was one of [...]

The Lord spoke to my heart a few weeks ago that things were going to speed up. God has sent us a wave of momentum, and we need to ride the wave.  Things that once took CWC three years will now  gonna take three months. Things that once  took CWC three months will now  take [...]

Man, I love to see our dreams and visions come to pass!  We started erecting walls on the new Youth Building today.  Lots of guys stood up walls, and the nail guns and hammers were singing with a wonderful voice that only a carpenter would love. Hey, wasn’t Jesus a carpenter? Of course He was, [...]

Sandy and I was in a Doctors office a few days ago. He had a skeleton arm in there. It was pretty cool. I decided to have a little fun with it. I was using it to grab Sandy and takin some pictures. When the Doc came in he didn’t find it very amusing but [...]

I would like to introduce the newest member of my clan! Elizabeth Rain is my new and first grand baby. When I saw her, it was love at first sight. She is strong and healthy, and of course, she looks just like me! How incredible it is that even in a hard world such as [...]

You just gotta love planting time. We enjoy this time of year as a family. We get out in the dirt and sow our seeds and then see what comes up. When I was a kid I loved playing in the dirt, and I guess I never outgrew it. Noah and Em really had to [...]

As I watch the news this morning my heart breaks for the families of the West Virginia coal miners who lost their lives last night. We have all lost loved ones before and know how hard it is. I pray that Jesus will comfort these folks in only the way He can. Lord, we ask [...]

This is the day the Lord has made, and I will rejoice and be glad in it! Today was a great day. I love the way CWC is a church alive. God has truly blessed us with each other. Thanks to all of you who work so hard to make Christway Church all that it [...]

Today was a blast! I don’t know how many folks attended our annual egg hunt this year, but it was bunches. We had thousands of eggs just waiting for the children to grab ‘em up. And that’s just what they did. It’s our job at Christway Church to show the love of Christ in practical [...]

Can you imagine how the disciples felt? After they had seen Jesus die such a horrible death, then to hear that He was alive. Knowing in their minds that this was an impossibility but knowing in their hearts it was true. They had seen Jesus do the impossible time and time again, but this was [...]

I’m on my way to a funeral this morning. Second one this week. I didn’t know the person who passed away but I know some of her folks, and they asked if I would do the service. I never turn down an invitation to do a funeral service. No, it’s not that I enjoy them, [...]

It is the time of year again when we break out the plows. Yep, it’s planting time again. I love to watch a garden grow. When I was a kid, my Grandpa Slick always had great big gardens. He would grow lots of corn to feed his cows. He also grew watermelons and peas to [...]

You just gotta love weddings. I was blessed to be a part of tying the knot for a cool young couple who have a great future together. I first meet Brooke and Aaron up in Leesville. We were doing our CWC Late Night outreach. It’s very cool that they have been coming to Christway here [...]

Our family was blessed with a new edition this week. My nephew and his lovely bride had a beautiful little girl. This makes # 4 for them. When the Lord said to be fruitful and multiply they took Him serious. Lol. I am always amazed at the  birth of a child. It’s the perfect picture [...]

The  World Wide Ministries annual convention kicked off this week here in DeRidder. Pastor Bob Rutherford and Abundant Life Church host this event every year. Folks from all over the United States and even from other countries gather here in DeRidder to praise Jesus and encourage one another. It’s  great to see old friends and [...]

I have some exciting news! CWC Power And Light Company just got in our first shipment of new CD’s. Yep, this is the one we have been waiting for. Kenny, Greg, Jessica, Noah, Brandon, and Luke have worked very hard. Not just on Sunday morning praise and worship. But they went into the studio here  [...]

The weather was great for jumping on the bikes for a ride this past Sunday afternoon. A bunch of us ganged up at Christway Church after third service and went for a spin. Evan put on his chaps and got on the back of Billy’s Shadow and rode with us. We left DeRidder and rode [...]

Jesus said that a house that is built on sand will not stand when the storms of life come against it. He also said that a house built on the rock will not be moved. Of course, Jesus was talking about our foundations. Without a solid foundation nothing that is built can last. I am [...]

After our main service Friday night concluded, we had a service for the young men who attended the conference. The music was awesome, and Bro Vic brought the word. He talked about kitty litter? You know Bro Vic, he’s always got something crazy going on! Saturday morning of the Christway Church men’s conference kicked off [...]

I was given a really awesome opportunity this week. The Gideons asked me to speak at their meeting here in DeRidder. The Gideons do great work all over the world. Most of us at some point in our lives have read a Bible placed there by the Gideons in a motel room or office waiting [...]

What a time we had this past weekend. We had our annual CWC men’s conference at Ingallwood Park here in DeRidder. Friday night was cold, but the food was good and hot. We were blessed to have the praise team from the Leeville Family Worship Center come and lead us in a time of worship [...]

Do not rejoice over me, my enemy, when I fall for I shall arise. This has always been one of my favorite passages of scripture, but for the last couple of months it has taken on new meaning for me. This scripture has become a promise from the Lord for me. I’m getting my stride [...]

Its getting close to our annual Christway Church Men’s Conference. I look forward to this event all year and for good reason. We have a blast and grow together in the Word. Last year could not have been better, and I believe this year God is going to do even greater things. We have heard [...]
