Dr. Creflo A. Dollar

Shannon and I feel so blessed to have the Christian life and influences we do, and in many ways it all started with Dr. Creflo A. Dollar. 

After college I planned on attending graduate school.  Still a devotionless Christian, I didn't know much about following God's plan for my life.  I had several schools in mind, and I prayed that only one would accept me, and that would be the one God had for me.  Well that happened just as I prayed.  When I went to Atlanta for orientation my dad came with me.  That Sunday morning he drove me down to College Park to visit a church.  We went to World Changers Church International, and I saw Dr. Dollar speak for the first time.

When I returned for fall classes I felt alone and frustrated.  Having nothing else to do I went back World Changers and heard Dr. Dollar again.  I asked God to show me a sign if He would have me join this church.  A man of God, a complete stranger, walked by me and gave me a friendly rub on the shoulder, so I went down to the altar to join.  10 months later I was a different person.  I went from the life of the party to God's witness for eternal life.  I shared Jesus with all my friends.  I read the Word daily.  I now loved God and I had clear understanding of many deep Spiritual subjects, the latter thanks in large part to Dr. Dollars outstanding and informative preaching.  Shannon joined me in Atlanta for the next two years.  We were baptized there, completed membership classes there, and even attended pre-marital classes and counseling there. 

Dr.  Dollar does have many critics, but we know the truth.  We sat in his church twice a week for three years.  We heard his multi-week series on love, joy, emotions, the Holy Spirit, fear, victory, holiness and countless other subjects.  Yes he did speak about prosperity and money, and boy I'm glad he did.

Dr. Dollar does so many exploits for God, we couldn't begin to list them all here.  But to us nothing compares more than his teaching the Word of God with simplicity and understanding.  The World Changers Church motto is, "in all thy getting, get understanding."  Dr. Dollar teaches the deep things of God so that anyone can grasp and apply them.  The gift of wisdom flows through his life and ministry in abundance.  When you sit under him that gift will flow right to you.

If you live anywhere near Atlanta, Georgia, you need to visit this church.  I also encourage you to join, your life will change very quickly.  He now also pastors a wonderful church in New York City, which we have been blessed to attend several times.  What an exciting time for you to join a fantastic young church with such an awesome man of God as Pastor.

Have Faith Don't Worry

Recently my wife and I have been going through a rather difficult situation. We lost our jobs and our former company is going under. We are short-selling our house. My wife is six months pregnant with our first child. We didn’t have company insurance so our medical bills are $1,000.00 per month. We need many things, and we sort of need them now. Have you ever been in such a situation? I imagine you have. Now the issue becomes how we go through this time. I’m not saying I’m in the wilderness and I’m not saying that my own mistakes caused this situation. I’ve sought God and I firmly believe that this is a change of season. When the brook dried up God told Elijah to go to the widow. God always supplies everything we need, but sometimes the resource He uses changes. I’m here to encourage you if you are in a difficult time, and I want to discuss appropriate attitudes while in the trenches. It’s been over three months now since we lost our jobs. I’ve spent many days fired up in faith, and

We are God's Ekklesia!

"When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, 'Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?'  And they said, 'Some say that you are John the Baptist: some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.'  He said unto them, 'But whom say you that I am?'  And Simon Peter answered and said, 'You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.'  And Jesus answered and said unto him, 'Blessed are you, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood has not revealed it unto you, but my Father which is in Heaven.  And I say unto you, That you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.  And I will give unto you the keys of the kingdom of Heaven: and whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."  (Matthew 16:13-19) What an amazing passage which is worthy of our most focused at

Though It Tarry, Wait For It

By -
“I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what He will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.” (Habakkuk 2:1-3) If you read my last post you know that we have recently had some personal difficulties. Well, today I can shout, “Glory to God, I can see His hand on our lives and He’s mightily bringing us through.” Just to recap, we lost our jobs, put up our house for short sale, and have huge medical bills. This season of trial and change began in March, and we are still walking through it. But recently we have seen God move us through with His exceedingly mighty hand. Within three weeks of putting our house on the market we had a great offer. We submitt
