Having been away last week and worshiping in another church, my heart was moved and encouraged. Encouraged to come home and get back after it here at FSBCamden. It is also humbling having just celebrated our 32 year anniversary here as your pastor.
For years, the title of this blog was "Joy in the Journey." There has been joy and there still is joy as God allows us to forge forward together. 2025 has brought forth some new challenges, but God is faithful.
Recently the theme of "Bloom where you are planted" keeps recurring in my mind and heart. So if anything good continues to come forth after all these years, we will encourage other churches and pastors with a reminder that we are called to be faithful where God puts us and let the roots run deep as we anchor in and preach the word faithfully.
Last night we watched the movie, "Twisters." It is a remake of the original Twister that was released years ago about tornado storm chasers. In the new remake, a man known as the tornado wrangler would literally drive his truck right into the tornado. The only way they could survive was by driving automatic augers (anchors) deep into the ground to keep the vehicle from getting blown away and being killed. They were trusting that the anchors would hold.
Years ago H.B. London, a Nazarene Pastor, James Dobson's cousin from Focus on the Family wrote a book entitled, "Heart of a Great Pastor", and one of the chapters was titled, "Bloom Where You are Planted." That has always stuck with me, and has been a great encouragement as we continue to serve the Lord.
Jesus is the anchor. May we drill deep and trust Him to continue to lead and carry us in the work.
Until He comes...we will go! Bro. Greg
