Hillarious

A friend of mine made up this equation for his college math class…..don't be offended just laugh!!!!

Snow Patrol

I woke up to felipe martinez (my dog) barking like crazy….I was screamin at him to shut up and then my wife got up to beat him for being a crackhead and then she started screaming, "its snowing…its snowing!!!" In my 27yrs I have never seen this much snow in BATON ROUGE!!! Absolutely amazing! Thank you mr. felipe martinez for being the real snow patrol.

Amplified 09′

I'm pretty excited about Amplified 2009!!! In the past we have never opened up this conference to other churches but we really felt God nudging us to create an enviroment where we could blur the lines of denomination and church names!! We have some other great churches coming to be a part and we know God is gonna do some awesome things!! Last year God dropped the bomb on us and we know that He has something special for us for 2009. The prayer that we are praying is that God would amplify the cries of broken,hurting,lost,forgotten people in our hearts…that their cries would disturb us in our indifference and apathy…that we would be moved to irrational outburst of love that bring help and hope. The weekend is jammed packed so u don't want to miss it!! If u or your youth group want to be a part or would like more details then plz check us out here Or call us @ 2254083380 ext 345 below is just a lil sample of our schedule. keep checkin my blog for more info about AMPLIFIED 2009
also, check out the live recording from last years AMPLIFIED in case you missed it

Charity

"Charities can easily become our brokers to the poor….the danger is that we never know the poor….there's never a connection made and yet we feel ok with it b/c our charity eases and appeases our conscience and we go about our life w/ a masked sense of service to those He loves so much.

My BFF

My friend G$ sent me this picture of my best friend-4.5….hahahaha this was the wednessday night at service during halloween week when we all dressed up in random costumes. GOOD TIMES

Bailout

All this talk about bailout makes me think of Romans 5: while we were yet HELPLESS sinners Christ came and paid a debt we could never pay….1 peter 1: and the bailout wasn't with cash but with the precious and priceless blood of Jesus, the sinless spotless lamb of God!!!! Gov'ts can't bust up a bailout like that…that's legendary!!!!

some people just dont understand

OMG!!! i just read my boy dan rollerking’s blog and i wanted to slap somebody it was so good! It’s his response to a guys comment posted on his blog about our church.You gotta check this out in case you havent yet. You can read it by clicking this link.

The gospel still works

A couple of weeks back I had the honor of hearing Franklin Graham preach at the catalyst conference and his message was amazing!!! He said,"forget what your conferences,seminaries, and own intellect have taught you about preaching…sometimes they tell you that just the ole gospel is to simple…you need to make it catchy and colorful with your creativity….BUT let me tell you that your catchy,clever sermons and illustrations can bring NO eternal-significant impact BUT the gospel has power…it changes people…IT STILL WORKS TODAY!!" He must have said that "it still works today" 50 times…wow! From India to Atlanta the gospel works…it cuts deep into a mans heart…its the only thing that works. I have proof that it works: Saturday nite I helped baptize my sister-n-law and brother-n-law who I have been praying for for nearly 10 years….ask them if the gospel still works!!!!

mañana el 40:SAP

at the risk of being NON-ORIGINAL I’m about to share a clip from someones blog who took a clip from someone Else’s blog to communicate something INSANELY AWESOME that begins on mañana hahahaha
here goes:
Starting tomorrow October 6Th we are embarking on what stands to be an amazing adventure…

Forget cool artwork or intriguing videos, this adventure is straight old school/organic/ghost-fest/in your face seeking the presence of God.

It’s 40:SAP!!!

Check out what Pastor Dino has to say about it:

So what is 40:SAP? This Tuesday, October 6, I will begin a 40 day Spiritual Adventure Pursuit, and I would love for you to join me. It will be a time of fasting, praying, reading His word – and I think some spontaneity in how He speaks to us. I think it is so crucial to press in and seek God’s presence right now and I think He is going to do something big. With the state of the economy, the upcoming election and the crazy things happening in our world we just need to hear from Heaven and receive the Holy Spirit’s guidance regarding our lives, families, churches and resources. I have huge expectation for this season!

Are you in?

So, what’s it going to be? Its a risky/dangerous deal but what if during the next 40 or so days God’s presence showed up and rocked your world? I don’t know about you, but for me that is a risk worth taking. Will you join us in our pursuit of Him?

Odd

I was bustin up a hospital visit and saw this pain rating scale and thought I'd let u use it to rate how your day was going….I'm at about a 3.5 right now after a long- crazy- yet exciting week….. Completely wasted from pouring out for the cause of Jesus and I love it!!! 3-4 is like "OMG I'm fried" right?? 9-10=i wasted my week on stupid stuff….1-2=clueless…5-6=not that bad of a week….

HPC-full on

Message from Ps Dino:

Dear Church,
Isn't it awesome to see all that God has done the last couple weeks? We
are amazed every time we think back on all the opportunities we had to
serve together! Thank you for all the time, energy, and resources you have
given to make Healing Place an extension of Christ to our world.
We want to make sure you know that all of HPC's weekend services are
back to normal this Saturday and Sunday! Each campus will have
their regularly scheduled services, at their usual locations (except
Donaldsonville services which will meet at the East campus on Sunday morning). Be sure to check the website at www.HealingPlaceChurch.org for all the latest updates.
We can't wait to see you!
All for HIM,
Pastor Dino and DeLynn
