No one would ever guess what happened to me this weekend in Jacksonville, Florida...so I'm going to tell you. :) As I was preaching at the Fearless Tour at New Hope Assembly of God this weekend, I got choked up, literally. For probably 2-3 minutes I coughed profusely and greatly struggled. Then I drank some water and kept preaching. Everyone was gracious to give me a few moments to get my bearings. If you were there, you'll remember it! What no one realized at the time was that I swallowed a bug that flew right in while I was preaching! So disgusting! I said nothing because I was at a point in the sermon where I was really connecting and I knew if I said, "I swallowed a bug," everyone would either laugh profusely or be really concerned, or start feeling sorry for me. And at that point whey wouldn't be thinking about the message anymore, but the fact that I had just swallowed a bug. They would then imagine what it would be like, and feel grossed out which

I am very aware of the dangers and how we must at every cost avoid the appearance of evil.
I just can't help but wonder if all of these things that we see occurring are the beginning of the great falling away that will begin to take place before the Lord returns. I have always wondered what would cause such massive droves to leave the church. Something has to trigger it. Could it be that those trusted ones falling will be the trigger?
Just a thought.
great blessing (to be part of the last days) and also great challenge...
