I started a Bible Study recently for the Accounting Firm I work with. The study is based off the idea of "getting back to basics", we're reading the Bible, not a book written by others, which there is nothing wrong with that...I've read many and enjoyed most everyone. However, it occurred to me the other day while in prayer...praying about what type of study to begin, that many people talk about the Bible, want to believe in the Bible, say they believe in the Bible, have a Bible or Bible's in their possession, but never read the Bible. So, the idea came to me to start a BIBLE study with the BIBLE as our textbook, and we did.
What a joy it was to see and hear people talk about their desire to learn the Bible, and to read for themselves. It's the greatest book ever written. It's a treasure that comes to "New Life" every day to the one who digs into it's pages. So this morning, or today, find a new starting place (if it's been awhile) and begin reading God's love letter to a world that He loves and died for. It will do something in your life that you cannot do for yourself. This is what "getting back to basics" is all about.

Do you fall off the tracks when you travel?
What do you do when you travel, Nutrition & Fitness wise? Does your eating routine go crazy, or do you find it easy to stay on track with good habits? I think the question we must ask ourselves is: Are we on a diet when we're at home, or have I really changed my lifestyle in the area of food intake, nutritional habits, and fitness? You see a diet is easy to start and stop, pause and restart, but a lifestyle change goes with you wherever you go, whenever you go, and however you go.
Note for the next travel day: Stay on track, stay inside the lines on portion sizes, types of food you pick at restaurant's, things you drink, and the amount of intake. And for fitness, find a place to workout. Talk to your trainer or someone with some basic fitness knowledge about things you can do to keep active while on your trip. Above all, keep your commitment to yourself, your family, and your future children or grandchildren to live a lifestyle of health & wellness, physically and spiritually.
Serving Fit!

A New Season, a New Direction...
Dear Pastor,
No one better than you know we are
living in perilous times as 2 Timothy 3:1 states, but also, no one better than
you know we are living in the greatest hour for the Church because of these
times.
My wife (Gayla) and I have recently made
a huge decision to return to the Evangelistic Field of Ministry after 10 years
as Lead Pastors of The River Assembly of God in The Woodlands, Texas. This was
our second Lead Pastor position, both churches started in our homes. We love
God, we love people, and we love doing the "Work of the Ministry"
wherever that takes us, and whatever the cost.
I've included
a short bio of our ministry experience that started just over 27 years ago.
We would love to come and partner with you to help stir your congregation to
living completely abandoned lives to Jesus. Our ministry is simple, and as most
people have always stated about us, "What you see is what you get".
We'd hope to think that means we're Real! We won't come to puff up you people,
over exaggerate the messages or experiences. We don't come with flare, nor a
"look what we've done" type of message either. Our desire is to hear
The Lord and speak what He says, so people will have an opportunity for real
change through a real challenge in their lives.
If what you read interest you, and you
feel we're the right mix for your church, we'd love for you to contact us soon
to book a date or dates. I make this one promise, we're not looking just to
book a service, we want God connections, and divine appointments. It just
always seems to work better that way!
Looking forward to hearing from you
soon, should The Lord confirm.
Fit for His Service,
David
Summerlin, Evangelist
Faith
| Family | Fitness | Finances*********************************************************************************
About Us: We
were both raised in great homes, Gayla's in Church, and mine not so much. We
were married in 1980, both attended Sam Houston State University, and were a
part Chi Alpha Student Ministries where we became active in Ministry. Upon my
completion of College (1982), and receiving a degree in Accounting, we moved
back to Houston, Tx to work and begin our family, while teaching Sunday School,
singing in Christmas musicals, helping with evangelistic outreaches, going on
missions trips, and eventually began preaching in 1986.
·
In 1988, with the blessing of our Pastor, James
McKeehan (Lindale Assembly of God) we started a Church in our home specifically
targeting drug addicts, alcoholics, and anyone beat down with extreme problems.
·
In 1991, we moved to Conroe, Texas and joined
the staff of First Assembly of God Conroe, under the leadership of Pastor Lloyd
Maddoux working as Youth Pastor, Athletic Director (Lifestyle Christian
School), School Teacher, Sunday School Leader, and several other positions
through time.
·
In 2001, we started a non-profit organization
"Passion to Abstain", a ministry to reach students with the message
of Abstinence. It was a great success and we saw many students make new
commitments to stay pure till marriage, others restored back to God and their
families.
·
In 2003, with the blessing of our Pastor, Lloyd
Maddoux, the Lord led us to start another church in The Woodlands, Tx, which we
recently turned over to my Associate Pastor who had been with us for 9 of the
10 years of existence.
·
Other info: I have worked bi-vocationally the
past 10 years. Accounting has continued to play a huge part of my life. I
currently work for a Municipal Accounting Firm training all New Hires and fill
the position of Chaplain. My wife & I currently have two (2) grown
children, both married to wonderful God Fearing spouses, and we have 3 Grand
Children, and 1 on the way.
Our Co-Mission: Keep it Simple
·
Reach
people for Christ.
·
Train
(Disciple) believers to become "Followers of Jesus in every area
of life".
·
Encourage,
Inspire and Motivate people
to live a completely abandoned life to Jesus, by living a Disciplined Life in all areas. We hope to do this by ministering in
four (4) areas The Lord has impressed upon us: Faith, Family, Fitness &
Finances.
Ø Faith is the foundation of
any believers relationship with Jesus. "Revival
awakens the heart to intimacy with God, which in turn produces fruit of many
types".
Ø Family is the real training
ground to build success through The Word of God. If a man or woman wants to
know if they're really living for God, let someone ask their spouse, or better
yet, their kids.
Ø Fitness expands ones capacity
to reach goals, it builds perseverance, patience, and stamina for the fight
that lies ahead for the believer. "Your
body will do more than your mind says it can". The body is the Temple
of the Holy Spirit, and more can be done for the Kingdom, if we would treat it
as such.
Ø Finances - the proving ground
of stewardship. Will we be faithful in the little, so God will grant us the ability
to have much? Learning the value of giving, because it's the right thing to do.
Our
Plan: Pray, Study and Train hard, so at whatever time we're
called upon to minister, either to a Church Congregation, or 1 on 1 with a
family through Life Coaching, we
will speak what we've heard & experienced from The Lord, and nothing else. Our
intention is not to have another Church Service for your congregation. Our
desire is to stir up the deepest commitment from Believers to become Followers
of Christ. The late Charles Finney always said "Revival is a new beginning of obedience in the life of the
believer".
