    Remembering Dr. Wilburn Rainey Wilburn (Wilbur) Rainey grew-up in the Romance community where folks still talk about Wilbur’s dedication to his parents; Frank and Mary Rainey. While the other boys played, Wilbur attended to his blind father. Wherever Mr. Frank wandered, Wilbur strolled along holding his father’s hand and guiding his footsteps.

    Quote #3 This quotation is written byJonathan Edwards in, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God". This sermon was written during the time of The Great Awakening where many people where converting or "awakening" to convert to be Christians. Puritans beleived in the concept of predestination, where God already has a plan and everything that happens is for a reason, good or bad. Edwards wrote this sermon because he wanted people recognize their sins and to repent for the bad things that they have done. It is clearly shown in,"Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" that God looks down at us humans, and in His eyes we are seen as puny, and weak, so easily fooled, and manipulated.…

    These men are willing to do anything for Christ, even die, as long as they get the name of Jesus Christ out into the lives of the unsaved. These five men are obviously very different, but Jim Elliot, Elisabeth’s husband, went into the mission field at the age of twenty-five. He was a “young, broad-chested, thick brown haired, and blue-gray eyed man” (Page 14). Jim went to grammar school, but always wanted to sail when he was there. After he graduated from school, God weighed heavy on his heart, that he should become a missionary in Ecuador.…

    In attempt to develop range in my observation of support groups, I once again found myself returning to an old stomping ground. Throughout my years in high school, I dedicated several hours a week to my local church in a growth group for high school girls. Although I currently experience mixed emotions with religion, I recalled how influential it was during my teenaged years to have such support, convincing me to return to observe a group to identify ways in why it was so helpful for me during difficult moments in my life. Luckily, my previous growth group leader was still leading groups and graciously accepted my request to be a guest that following week. Meeting once a week, the purpose of these groups was to discuss the Bible and life issues, but based on personal experience, these groups offered much more than a few life lectures.…

    True and significant life is found in Jesus Christ and because of my firm conviction of this it has been my primary objective to point people to Jesus. Being persuaded that Christ wants Christians and especially those who take leadership roles to minister to the needs of others, I have ordered my life to conform to that conviction. Ultimately, Jesus desires that each Christian serves him by serving others; this is accomplished in a variety of ways – feeding those who are hungry, teaching everyone the life saving Gospel, and by leading in a way that reflects the glory of Christ. It has been my immense pleasure to have had the opportunity to preach God’s Word to thousands of people over the past fifteen years. It is my sincere passion to see people embrace Christ Jesus as their Lord and savior and to be transformed by the renewing of their minds through the Word of God.…
