I just had lunch with Pastor Chad, and for all you guys in ministry let me give you some advice that was given to me at North Greenville College (University now) several years ago. When you go out seeking a church to serve in, be careful to pick a Pastor, not a church. It dosen't matter if the building is huge and your office has new furnature, and it dosen't matter if the search committee promises you the world.... pick your Pastor, not your church.
I am so thankful to have a Pastor who is not only MY pastor but who is my boss and my friend. Pastor Chad does such an awesome job being the Pastor to me and my family and the forgiving, understanding, and supportive boss, while being one of my best friends at the same time. Love you man!
That is part of looking where I'm going, instead of going where I'm looking. I'm working hard to stay focused on what God wants me looking toward........ instead of what I want to do.
Pastor Chad gave us an awesome glimpse at the Vision God has given him for NHBC. By-the-way Pastor Chad has installed a new sermon player within our website. You can go there and listen to the sermon yourself! www.nhbcmauldin.org
I have prayed since then that He would give me that same vision, and that I would be most effective in doing what God has called me to do..... to help the Pastor!

I appreciate you more than you will ever know. You are my brother in Christ, my partner in ministry, and my friend. Thank you for all that you do. Keep your eyes on Jesus and fight the good fight. But most importantly remember, God has already won and ask us to come to the celebration.
