Thank God for those who are willing to lay down the egos and logos and just get after it serving the Kingdom.

This was one of MANY lines that struck me when reading
Dan Ohlerking's blog about his experience at Bethany this weekend. Pastor Dino stressed to us last week at staff meeting how important his friendship and partnership with Pastor Larry Stockstill has been. After the hurricane, they laid aside their philisophical, style, and pastoral differences and got locked into the vision that God has for this community and this nation. Unity between churches is the ONLY way we will ever truly be "one nation, under God." I am so proud to call this church my home, but I am equally proud that I work for a pastor who is willing to lay down his ego and our logo to get after it serving the Kingdom.

Dino Rizzo is making it harder for people to die without knowing Jesus, and through his relationships with Ps. Larry, Joyce Meyer, Christine Caine, Dave Ohlerking, Robert Barriger, Brian Houston, and and so many other pastors around the world- HPC will help populate Heaven and plunder Hell. That is why God has kept us on earth and has not brought us up to Heaven when we get saved- we are still here to spread the love of Christ and the life-changing Word of God. That's why working at Healing Place isn't a "job"- it's a lifestyle, and I wouldn't want it any other way!!!!

how true. if it isn't for that, then take me Home. Heaven's way better than anything we get to see here - other than seeing a life turned around for God. won't get to see that happen in Heaven. so let's do as much of that as we can while we're here.
