In Lake Jackson, Texas youth minister, comedian, and relief worker Hoss Ridgeway and many volunteers have done a wonderful job of helping the hurting. When it was decided that the dead tree in front of the church should be cut Hoss suggested a cross should be left. What a fitting reminder that in the face of storms God prevails!
Carol and I met with Hoss and preacher Allen Ritchie and heard about the great work that has been done from the Lake Jackson church of Christ campus. Work continues with the help of volunteers who are removing debris, mucking out houses, and repairing them. Hoss took us on a tour of one community where they have been active. Surfside, a beach community was hurt very badly. The picture below is of what was rows of water front properties that are completely gone except for 4 houses. My hat’s off to the Lake Jackson folks who were first in with ice, food, and smiling faces.
Next we visited Clear Lake, Texas where we met preacher Byron Fike and elder Ben Glisan. What a great church! They are hosting the Hilltop Rescue group and other volunteer teams have used their facility for food, rest, and spiritual refreshment. The church has constructed additional shower facilities to accommodate the dozens of happy volunteers there to serve the Clear Lake community. Byron and Ben were gracious and informative hosts. Clear Lake is a great church. If you are ever south of Houston don’t miss visiting them.
Next we made our way to Galveston and the Broadway church. We enjoyed a great lunch with our sisters in Christ Jane Smith and Judy Peter from El Campo. We have been closely associated with these great ladies in the work at Bayou La Batre, Alabama. At the Broadway church location, we met Superman! Mike Baumgarner (Disaster Assistance, Inc.) who has been on site cooking and serving hot meals to folks in Galveston for more than a month now. He has been averaging over 800 lunches a day. Mike has done an unbelievable job, First, at Goodwood church, and then in Galveston. He needs funding and will likely be able to stay only one more week.
The beautiful historic homes of the famous “Strand” along Broadway in Galveston bear the marks of Ike. Boarded windows, blue tarps on roofs, and debris everywhere are representative of the broken lives of the residents. There is much yet to be done but because of very little press coverage, money and volunteers are in short supply.
Our next stop was Orange, Texas and the 9th and Elm church where we met minister Barry Jones, my new hero. This gentle soul really has his plate full. In addition to the duties of preaching and all the accompanying duties of ministering to a sizable congregation, Barry has assumed the job of relief coordinator for the surrounding area. He has had some help from a dear brother from Mississippi, Fred Walker, elder of the Long Beach church.
Twenty families of the 9th and Elm church suffered significant damage to their homes. With the help of volunteers, much of the damaged dry wall has been removed. The next step will be the installation of new drywall, and many volunteers are needed to accomplish this. Barry and his volunteers have worked tirelessly to aid these dear hurting folks. They have a source for the sheetrock but have no one to hang and finish it. In addition to the stress of having two fulltime jobs, Barry has been ministering to two families in the church whose son and brother committed suicide just a few days ago. He lost his business after the hurricane; his home was badly damaged, and in despair took his own life. In the face of so much loss and tragedy, the remarkable believers at the 9th and Elm church are still smiling, still trusting our dear Lord, and doing all they can for others. The church building had several inches of water in it and one lady who stayed in the building had to be rescued by boat. In the nearby community of Bridge City, virtually every home was damaged with water from a few inches to several feet. Please pray for and the work at Bridge City.
Remember to keep Barry and the 9th and Elm church in your prayers. Spread the word about the need for workers.
Our last stop was in Sulphur, LA at the Maplewood church of Christ. There we met elder Roger Corley. We spent a few hours with him learning about the work of Maplewood and enjoying his contagious optimism about the work yet to be done. He, too, says the greatest need is for volunteers. It is very difficult to get enough folks to do the work. Maplewood has built a wonderful building that will be used for youth and other ministry but likely would not have been built but for the need for a staging area for disaster relief work. They have been able to clean and help repair many homes in Cameron Parish but also have given thousands of dollars of appliances and bedding to the people who lost everything. Their goal is to plant a church in Cameron Parish. I’m sure their unselfish labor of love in the community will be an asset to reaching that goal. Maplewood is also hosting the Hilltop Rescue group.
On Thursday we met our friends Fred and Dee Franke for a late breakfast. They drove over to Baton Rouge from New Orleans for a visit. What a delightful couple. And what a job Fred and his Project Nehemiah have done in New Orleans, first after Hurricane Katrina and now in wake of the latest hurricanes. Fred’s ministry has helped to plant churches, feed and clothe people, supply appliances, cleaning supplies, and brought hope to so many hundreds of people. He also needs funding to continue. The recovery work in the New Orleans area has only scratched the surface. There is much to be done. I am very thankful for men like Fred who stepped out by faith and tackled the situation head on. Fred is not only a leader, preacher/teacher, but a brilliant strategist as well. Here is a resource that should be used more. His ideas on the methodology of planting churches is ‘right on’ in my view.
I can’t end this post without mentioning Disaster Relief, Inc. of Nashville. You can’t visit any location in America where there has been a natural disaster that Disaster Relief has not already been there when you get there. Their truck loads of food boxes, appliances, and bedding have been invaluable for many, many years. Thank God for Joe Dudney and his helpers. May God continue to bless them.
It is my joy to assist my wife Carol with her work for WFR Relief. It has been a wonderful, eye opening experience that is priceless. Don Yelton, White’s Ferry Road Relief director, is another hero of the disaster recovery business and has been for over 30 years.
Please remember these people and ministries I have mentioned and the unnamed thousands who still need help and Christ.
His peace,
Royce

The following verses all say that God is “able“. He is “able” to do anything because He is God. Most believers embrace this idea of God’s ability in their personal belief system. Many of us however are not sure He is willing as we live our lives day by day.
Consider these verses and comments.
Romans 14:4
“Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand.” God can keep His own from falling, will He?
Ephesians 3:20
“Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us.” Abundantly more than we ask or think! It’s hard to take in. The context is very personal, “according to the power at work in us“. The Holy Spirit, the same power that raised Jesus from the dead, is the power we have at the ready to do in us and through us what will glorify God. God is very able but is He willing?
2 Timothy 1:12
“..which is why I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard until that Day what has been entrusted to me.” What had Paul committed to the Lord? His soul, his future, his hope, his life, all that he was had been given over to the One who is able. He was able to guard what was entrusted to Him until the Day of the Lord. Did He? More than that, will He guard what you have entrusted to Him? He is able, is He willing?
Perhaps the answers are found in these next several verses. God is faithful! Praise His name, I can trust Him completely to do what I am not able to do. He is able, and He is faithful.
Romans 3:3
“What if some were unfaithful? Does their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God?”
1 Corinthians 1:9
“God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.” Our calling into the fellowship of Jesus Christ depends upon the faithfulness of God. If it depends on me I’m in a very dangerous position. He is perfectly faithful even though you and I are not perfectly faithful. (Rom 3:3 above)
1 Corinthians 10:13
“No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.” Temptations are common to us all. When they come, and they surely will, what assurance do we have that we can avoid falling into sin? The faithfulness of God! He knows each of us so intimately that He will allow temptation just short of our ability to resist. He will always provide a way of escape. Were it not for God’s faithfulness we would be overwhelmed by the temptation to fall into grievous sin often and we would not be able to resist. Let no man claim that he had no choice, no way out, God always provides a way of escape.
1 Thessalonians 5:24
“He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it.” Do what? This verse is immediately preceded by verse 23 which says “Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ“. God will sanctify (set you apart for Himself) you completely (there is no room for failure), and your whole person will be kept blameless until Jesus comes. Not only will you be blameless then, your are now blameless, and will stay blameless because God is faithful and He will surely do it.
2 Timothy 2:13
“if we are faithless, he remains faithful—for he cannot deny himself.” At some time every person living in sinful flesh is less than faithful, but while we disappoint even ourselves, God is faithful on our behalf. He cannot be otherwise and be God.
Hebrews 7:25
“Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.” I doubt that any of us are capable of grasping the depth and breadth of this promise. One thing is for sure, those who have put their confidence in Jesus and are resting completely upon Him are safe. Saved, being saved, and will be saved in the end is the promise to all who come to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Hebrews 10:23
“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.” What a wonderfully powerful challenge and promise! Do you expect the sun to shine tomorrow? It very likely will. There are no rainy days in God’s faithfulness. He is always, eternally, faithful and because of that truth we who are His are at rest.
Galatians 5:22
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness“ God the Holy Spirit is at work in each believer forming us into the likeness of Christ. One of the ways He is doing that is to produce in our lives faithfulness. Faithfulness is one way we are like our Father.
God is not only able, but faithful. Amen.
Standing in grace,
Royce

Around the globe financial markets are in sharp decline and the end is not in sight. A bloated housing market in the U.S., stupid policy by the U.S. congress, irresponsible consumers, and greedy Wall Street types have all contributed to the financial tsunami that began in the U.S. and has spread around the world.
Many wonder what the connection is between the U.S. markets and Asian, European, and other international markets? Why have they fallen as the DOW plunges downward? There are some rather meaningless monetary connections but the principal common denominator is simply fear.
Global citizens are not unlike we Americans in most ways. Our cultures and languages are different but we have the susceptibility to run away emotions and fear in common. Even after a bone headed congress ripped U.S. taxpayers off to the tune of $700,000,000,000 (billion) dollars and the problems weren’t fixed over night, people have been gripped by fear of the unknown and the result is stupidity unleashed.
The most elementary rule of investing in the stock market is “Buy low and sell high”. Tens of thousands of Americans, who are making emotional decisions, have started to sell assets and run from the market. And the more people liquidate investment dollars the more fearful people sell off and the market spirals steadily downward. Almost all of the problems we have experienced this week are driven by fear, the “Fear of Falling”.
Americans are fed a steady diet of bad news by news anchors who are almost giddy that things are terrible because they know the Democrats are vested in loosing wars and failing economies. Without one or both, Democrats don’t have a chance of winning the White House. And, on both sides of the political foot ball, campaigns are using tactics to create fear of the other candidate.
I remember as a young boy going to the movie in down town Asheville where i would sit in paralyzing fear watching a scary movie. I remember watching a scene in a movie not many years ago and being so tense my body was sore in anticipation of an impending murder. The fact is, in both instances, is was completely safe. I was in no danger other than the damage that might ensue from eating buttered pop corn. Our emotions will lie to us. The sooner we realize that emotional decisions are often bad ones, the more likely we are to be calm and collected in the face of bad news on the 6 o’clock news.
When President Franklin D. Roosevelt was sworn into office the country faced more dire circumstances than we face today. In his inauguration speech Franklin said “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself“. Perhaps those words are more true today than when they were spoken in 1932. The economy will turn around the very day that most Americans have hope that things will get better. Unfortunately we do not have strong leadership in either political party who can effectively convey the message of hope to the nation. In the absence of hope, as a nation we will continue to know “The Fear of Falling”.
The personal, individual solution, is to make important decisions based entirely on facts, not on fears. We should vote, invest, purchase real estate, and decide every other important event of our lives based on factual information if at all possible. To do so requires more than watching the news on TV or reading forwarded emails on your computer monitor. In my view most people are too lazy intellectually to make good decisions about most anything.
Finally, who do you trust with your future? I hope you are finding your security in God and a relation with Him through Jesus Christ. Pity the man who trusts in what he possesses.
Peace,
Royce

Wednesday a week ago, Carol and I drove to Atlanta where we met my brother David and his family for a nice dinner and a great visit at Outback. On Thursday we drove to Hendersonville (one of the prettiest towns on the planet) to the home of Don and Harriet Yelton. Don and Carol are WFR Relief! They of course had tons of work to do because of the demands of the recent storms and the famine in Africa.
On Friday Don and I had a great morning just visiting, having coffee, watching the white squirrels feed and play outside the kitchen windo, and talking fishing. In the afternoon we fished the Davidson river with a guide and caught some trout. This was my first trout fishing with a fly rod. What fun! That evening Carol spoke at a retreat for the ladies of the Hendersonville church about their launch of Heart to Home womens ministry. They had a great meeting with lots of excitement about the older women moulding the lives of the younger moms.
Saturday we drove over to Burnsville, N.C., (the birth place of both my parents and where they are buried) for an Ogle family reunion. There were lots of cousins I had not seen for some time, so the food and fellowship were equally wonderful. On the way back to Hendersonville Carol took me to a new show outlet where I found the Crocs I have been wanting, brown and black with leather uppers.
Sunday we worshipped with the Yeltons at Hendersonville coc, had a great lunch with them and the minister and his wife. In the afternoon house church at the Yelton’s was good with lively discussion, worship, and prayer.
Monday we were off down the mountain to Pigeon Forge to Dollywood for two days of Bluegrass and BBQ. What great fun! The weather, the food, and the music were top notch. Early Wednesday we left for Mobile and drove all day (582 miles). On Thursday we drove to Bayou La Batre to visit with the folks, catch up on all the news about the church, and prepare for two nights of Grief Share goups. On Friday night we had 18 people including many from the community and on Saturday night I believe there were 14 present. Bayou La Batre has lots of hurting people and it was a great blessing to be able to share our love with them.
On Saturday we had lunch with Daphne German (superwoman) and two young folks who had questions about baptism and how to begin a relationship with Christ. I shared the very good news with them and when I had finished they were eger to be baptised.
Sunday we had perhaps 40 to 50 in attendance at the Hemley Road church of Christ. I did a child dedication at the request of 4 young parents. I stressed the necessity of the parents being dedicated to Christ if they expect to raise godly children. It was a big deal for those families with grandparents and other relatives on the platform with the parents and children. Carol had printed nice certificates for each of the 4 kids. That event hopefully will be a landmark on their spiritual journey.
I preached from John 3, “You must be born again” and I have never had folks listen with more attention. At the invitation there were three adults who wanted to be baptised so immediately after the service we all drove over the the beach and I baptised two of those young moms whose children we had prayed for and dedicated to God, and a young father whose son was also in the dedication ceremony. God is so kind to allow Carol and me to have a part in what He is doing.
We left right away for Monroe and home, thinking of the joy of sleeping in our own bed again. We had not driven very long until we had a phone call reporting that another soon to be mom who listened to the message also wants to be baptised. What a joy filled trip with God’s blessing so evident!
Please pray for the brothers and sisters in the Bayou there in Alabama. They are in desperate need of funds. Their food bank is getting low, they need air conditioning in the church building, and a baptistry. Our dear sister Daphne does not have air conditioning in her house either by the way. They are running three vans each service to gather children who want to come to church and get something to eat. Over $500 is required each month just for fuel. They have a large insurance bill due in a few days and the list of needs goes on and on. But they are optimistic! They are going ahead and bro” Billy Spaulding told me he expects them to outgrow that facility soon. What great Christians and worthy of our gifts and prayers.
I am glad to be home and excited about what God will be up to next in our lives. Thanks for reading.
His peace,
Royce

This encouraging report and plea for help comes from the Hemley Road church of Christ in Bayou La Batre, Alabama. This very poor congregation was birthed after the devistaton of hurricane Katrina. They began as the Bayou Relief Project and now against all odds they are making steady progress rebuilding lives in their community. Below is the email report as I received it. My wife Carol and I gladly recommend this congregation to you.
Subject: Hemley Road C of C Summer/Fall Report
Greetings from Bayou La Batre, Alabama and the Hemley Road C of C Family!As God has blessed this community here in BLB, we just wanted to share this with you! Here is some of what has been occurring with our every so rapidly growing congregation.
1. 15 kids from the BLB church went to church camp with kids from the El Campo, (TX) church in south Texas. Two of the older teenage boys were baptized.
2. A group of the middle school kids along with their leaders from the White?s Ferry Rd. Church in Monroe, (LA) did a 3 day VBS for the BLB kids and children in their neighborhood in mid-July. With virtually no advertising, more than 75 kids came each day. Since that time, two new families have been attending.
3. Several groups from around the country have been at BLB this summer, working on community relief projects and on the church facilities. The upstairs area of the main building has been re-furbished and showers have been installed downstairs. We are now able to provide beds for 2 dozen volunteers.
4. The church in Ada (OK) sent a youth intern to work with the BLB church for the summer. Tyler is a student at Oklahoma Christian University. He plans to come back for a week in October and again at Christmas.
5. Tragedy struck the BLB church family in early August when the husband of one of the members was swept overboard from a shrimp boat during a storm. The young man was the father of 3 children. Since that time, 13 of his family members have started attending services and are studying the Bible with us on Sunday evenings. Royce and Carol Ogle will be starting our grief support groups facilitation, and plan to meet with the families in September and help us begin an ongoing Grief Share Group. They are now able to meet in the main auditorium ? although there is no air conditioning. We’ve even had a wedding in there this summer.
Mid August our church kids started school. We were blessed to receive school supplies from El Campo C of C in El Campo, TX and a check for uniforms from South 11th and Willis C of C in Abilene, TX. Even with school occurring, we are averaging 50 or so children, with a high of 80 people at church on Wednesday nights. With this growth we have of course been picking up all of these people. We were blessed with a van from Central Church C of C in Ada, OK. With the increased number of trips and vehicles that we have been blessed with, as well as the wretched increase in gas prices, we are really suffering in keeping the vehicles running. If anyone would want to donate money for gas, that would be a blessing. Any money could be sent through the El Campo C of C elders earmarked toward our funding.
With Hurricanes Gustav and Ike, although we were not directly impacted by the storms, we might as well have been. We experienced constant flooding and wind damage to our community. Much of the damage however, has impacted the livelihood of the people down here in BLB. As you know, the fishing industry is what holds BLB and the surrounding areas together. However, the flooding and other damage here has not allowed the industry to get back for several weeks now. People are not able to work, therefore, their day to day pay is null, and they are not able to survive and afford food or anything else. There is still a need for food and personal care and baby items for our NEWLY FINISHED FOOD and PERSONAL CARE PANTRY. Thank you to the churches and friends of HR C of C that have donated thus far for this emergency situation. South 11th and Willis C of C, Hope Christian Church’s Genesis Community, and a friend from Louisiana have all donated food or money for our pantry. If anyone would like to make donations to that, please please please, let someone in your church family know so that we can continue to supply food and personal items to the people of BLB. As a result of our food pantry, PRAISE GOD, that we have 4 new families coming to church. We have created a very welcoming and inviting church family here where we encourage people to come as they are.
The needs of the infant Hemley Rd Church of Christ are many. The entire area is very impoverished and we believe it will be several years before our church is completely self sustaining. We are so very grateful for our many friends and supporters from across the country. And as we say, nearly everyone who spends any time down here falls in love with the BLB people and the mighty work God is doing down here ? both in growing our new church and being a source of the Lord?s light in our community.
Of course, there is an ongoing need for people who can come and preach and teach on the weekends. We pray that at some time God will send a couple who can come here and work in this ripe mission field and be supported by a home church or other independent means. God has blessed us thus far with preachers and teachers and we would like to name them and pray for more like them. They are Martin Fu, Fred Franke, Omar Smith and his wife Sandra, John Ash and his wife Donna, and of course this summer, many of you from Tennessee, Oklahoma, Texas, N. Carolina, and many others from all over have helped with the preaching and teaching. Last night the teenagers had a special treat from Boston, MA. Our very own Manny Carneiro taught our young and impressionable teenagers.
Among the most urgent needs are:
1. The installation of a baptistery ? estimated cost $7000
2. Air conditioning for the main building ? around $12,000
3. Funds for the parking area gravel or asphalt - $5000
4. Air conditioning for house of church property - $4000
If anyone would like to support us for 2009, please contact the elders at the El Campo C of C. Their information is as follows:
El Campo Church of Christ
311 E. Calhoun
El Campo, TX 77437
Phone: 979-543-4279
Email: eccocsec@sbcglobal.net
Please ask your church to pray for the sweet people of Bayou La Batre. Our needs at this time are great. We just replaced the radiator and the water pump on our new van and we have to pay for the insurance on the vehicles and building this upcoming week. Please keep us in your prayers as we try to raise the money to keep up these functioning parts of our rapidly growing church.
I apologize for the length of this message. I will try to do an up to date report from our church on a more frequent basis.
God Bless. Daphne German

The United States of America has made a lot of progress sense the days of slavery. Blacks in Africa sold their own people to white slave brokers who transported them to America to be owned like cattle as they worked cotton fields for white plantation owners. The Civil War was the bloodiest war ever fought by Americans, largely over the slavery disagreement. It is worthy of note that American whites did not invent slavery. Slavery is as old as human history.
We have made great progress. Either a woman will be Vice President or a black man will be President in just a few weeks. And, a powerful, smart woman, Sen. Hillary Clinton was runner up in the primaries for the Democrats. Progress? Not so fast!
I believe it is wrong to refuse to vote for a candidate because he or she is a person of color. There is no question about that. However, I believe it is just as wrong to vote for a candidate only because he or she is a person of color. It is wrong but it is a right in a free society.
Estimates are that around 90% of black Americans who vote will vote for Obama, and I believe most of those votes will be because he is an African American. It is largely the same mentality as the O.J. jury, “Don’t bother me with the facts, the brother is innocent”. On the flip side, there is no question that a large segment of the white population, across the south especially, will not consider any African American for President of the United States. These are sad facts but entirely true. There is a better than average possibility that the presidential race will be decided on racial preferences, not on policy positions.
The worst enemy the African Americans in our country have ever had is the Democrat Party. For many decades, especially during the 40 years Tip O’Neal and the Democrats had control of the congress, Democrats have adopted public policy that keeps minority people on the lowest rung of society. Their policies have stripped the black community of it’s dignity by producing several generations who have been trained to think the government is their caretaker and that they deserve a check each month because they are black and poor. To add to the problem the Democrats have enacted policy that rewards unemployment, immorality, and dependency on government. I have spoken with folks who tell me they would have to take a pay cut if they got a job. And, young women only have to have one more child to get a raise on the monthly welfare check.
Democrats did not intend this end, they only wanted to buy votes and keep political power but the end result is a large percentage of Americans with little self worth, fatherless homes, high crime, poor education, and little hope. Thank you Democrats.
Today in a country that most people think is progressive, blacks have much higher percentages of children born to unwed mothers, substance abuse, incarcerated males, children who do not graduate from high school or go to college, and are born with disadvantages that most will never overcome. All of this because Democrats want to keep political power. The Rev Jessie Jackson, Rev Al Sharpton, and other so called “black leaders” have only added to the problem and have done nothing to solve it.
The more political power the Democrats have the longer African Americans will suffer. But, because for decades they have been brain washed to believe that government is their saviour, they vote in mass for Democrats.
It is a mathematical impossibility for our country to continue on the present course. At some point, and soon I think, there will be more on the receiving end than on the productive end and it will come crashing down. Every dollar spent by government must be earned by an American citizen and taxed out of his pocket by the U.S. government.
Republicans are only slightly better than Democrats on domestic policy. Very slightly. On national security they are far better. Common sense demands that I vote for McCain-Palin. Gov. Sarah Palin has little experience but is the only real conservative in the race. Come to think of it, Abraham Lincoln had less experience than Gov. Palin. I think he worked out pretty well.
Agree or disagree, that’s the way I see it.
