If feel confident that many of you have read Charles Solomon's book, The Ins and Outs of Rejection; if not, I hope you will. At any rate, Dr. Solomon, a long-time teacher of the message of the cross (the exchanged life, as he calls it), called me today (after three previous attempts) to invite me to attend a conference in February which is being designed around finding a way to overcome the resistance that most local churches bring against the preaching and teaching of the message of the cross. In other words, he is very interested in finding ways to open doors for those of us who preach and teach this message.
I have known Chuck for nearly 30 years and can tell you that he has given his life to the propagation of this message.
Anyway, He has invited 8 pastors from around the SE to meet with him at his headquarters office in Pigeon Forge, during the week of February 19, 2007 and, thankfully, I am one of them. I share this with you because I really want you to be praying that the Holy Spirit will speak clearly to us, giving us wisdom that will make an eternal difference.
To say the least, I am very excited about this opportunity and I really need your prayers! Chuck's ministry is international (has been for many years), so who knows what might be in the making?
Blessings,
Your Pastor
