I'M HALF WAY THERE! 

This past October, I turned forty-four years old. Usually, I just move right through my birthdays without much thought, but not any more. I have become acutely aware of time and how fickle it is. I know I'm not old, but I now realize I am getting older. I've lived a lot of life, witnessed and experienced a lot of pain. I have cried, laughed, loved, gained and lost a great deal for one man. I have noticed the pain in my back and wrinkles on my face haven't gone away. I am still startled by the thought that twenty-year old men and women look at me like a father. I gasp at the fact that forty-four is over half of eighty and my grandmother died in her seventy's (that was thirty-two years ago)! I realized that I don't want my children to grow up anymore; that I want them to stay just like they are. I find myself wishing time would stop.

But I also realize there's a good chance I may have another forty-four years to love and live and heal and cry and forgive and help and hope and give and strengthen and build and pray and preach and listen and care. I realize there are seven people (my wife and six children) that I'm not expendable to; seven people that will not walk away from me if I stagger. I realize that my babies are going to grow up and be my best friends, so I better cultivate that friendship now. I realize I actually have some friends that are good and faithful far often than they are bad and unfaithful. I realize that I have some people that I can call at midnight and they will answer. I realize when they act stupid and forget me, they are important enough to remind them to not forget me anymore. I realize I have been bad and unfaithful at times and they are still my friends. I realize that I have forgotten them sometimes. I realize I had better pick the phone up at midnight when they call.

I realize a smile goes a long way. I realize that I haven't been laughing enough and laughing is fun. I found that I am at my wisest when I'm just listening and shaking my head up and down and saying "uh huh".

I realize people are fallible, very important, but fallible. I realize people are going to lie to me, ignore my wife and I, talk about us, use us, think they're better than us, forget us, and a million other things that fallible people do. And to my surprise, I realize I don't mind it as much as I used to; that I've come to expect it, and I can always forgive them and act like it didn't happen when they come back around and bless us. I now realize I want them to come back around ... if they want to. And if they don't want to come back around, I can hope they are happy. I realize they are hurting, too, and that I can choose to heal, even if they do not.

I realize that the pure in heart see God; that all things are working for me and not against me. I realize that God has used every person in my life (family, friend and foe) to make me a better Christian, husband, father, friend, and preacher. I realize pride and selfishness are two of the most deadly things in the world because they build walls and shut life out.

I realize that although He wants my best, God knows I'm human and doesn't expect me to be anything but human; that He doesn't expect greatness out of me. He wants me to die, so He can be great through me. I realize that through Christ I can be truly free, liberated from this world.

I am also overcome by the thought that my days are few and that I must make the most of them. So since I'm blessed enough to have a handful of people that actually care enough about me to read this little note, I promise you, I am going to love, live, and bless more the second half of my life than I did the first.

Sincerely,
David Lamb

GOD IS TAKING US TO THE NEXT LEVEL! WANNA GO?

 I love the Lord! His favor has been upon Revival Tabernacle for 2 years straight. We've faced great opposition, but God has seen us through it all. While our enemies shot arrows, the hand of God was our shield. This month marks 13 straight months that we have carried out the great commission in Richmond, KY. We have knocked doors at least 45 out of the last 53 Saturdays, having never been rained out a single time. We had over 40 on the evangelism team today! God has supplied the means to feed hundreds of people thousands of pieces of food. Hundreds of lost men and women have prayed on our altars, dozens have gotten soundly converted. We've watched those new converts draw closer to God, seeking Him for His love and holiness! We've went from about 8 to 140-150 regular attendees in less than two years. We have witnessed numerous incredible miracles that doctors can't explain any other way than, "Your God is powerful." I've watched men and women that lived rather mediocre lives becomes awesome tools in the hands of their divine creator. I'm humbled. God is using us to inspire people and churches from all over this world to rise in these last days, becoming the hands and feet of Christ. Hell is angry. I don't blame Him because we're just getting started. God is getting ready taking us to the next level and I ask each of you to pray for us. Without Him we're nothing! With Him, through Him, we can do all things!

TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!

 

JUST DO IT! From the first day God sent me back to Richmond, Ky to start Revival Tabernacle the gossipers, talebearers, liars and haters began working overtime! At times, it really bothered us, but we started building the Kingdom of God anyways (knocking hundreds of doors every week, feeding hundreds of down and out folk, reaching out to the children and loving the addicts, alcoholics, homeless and abused). One day (a couple months ago), I realized that I wasn't hearing as much gossip and slander as before. It really felt good to think these vicious people were starting to leave us alone, but then God opened my eyes to the truth of the matter. The talebearers and hypocrites were still talking, but we are so busy doing Kingdom stuff we no longer hear it and no longer care. What the enemy says and does doesn't really matter anymore because we're too busy winning souls and seeing people get healed to think about it! God has set us a bountiful table in the very presence of our enemies! 

IF YOU WILL GET BUSY DOING SOMETHING FOR GOD, MOST OF YOUR PROBLEMS AND ENEMIES WILL BECOME MINISCULE! YOU'LL BE TOO BUSY BEING BLESSED TO BE STRESSED! NOW, GET OUT THERE AND DO SOMETHING FOR GOD!

AFFAIR PROOFING YOUR MARRIAGE!  

(AUDIO LESSON - PASTOR DAVID LAMB & REV TODD SLOGGETT)

(CLICK PICTURE TO LISTEN TO AUDIO)

The divorce rate in America (the church included) is over 50%. Infidelity (cheating on your spouse) is typically the last step before a couple ends up in a divorce court. Whether you will agree or not, without God's help, all of us have the capacity to "step out" on our spouses. 

Rev. Todd Sloggett and myself believe this lesson, if applied in its entirety, will assist you in keeping your marriage from getting to that tragic place. It also harnesses the capacity to turn a rocky marriage around and put it back on the proper course! 

This lesson is a must listen to every married couple in the world! Listen, take notes and be a doer of God's holy Word!

 

The lesson you are about to listen to was compiled by Todd Slogget and myself, but it is my voice that you will hear throughout the lesson.  - David Lamb, Sr. Pastor Revival Tabernacle

 A FEW VERSES FOR THE PREACHER. (Please, note that this is a command)

2Ti 2:24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

Would you say that your ministry and the manner in which you preach is marked with GENTLENESS? PATIENCE? MEEKNESS? If not, you're probably not seeing a lot of souls recovered from the snare of the devil! It isn't enough to just go into the highways and hedges. The Great Commission wasn't just a cool suggestion designed to free us from the spiritual guilt of sitting idle. The purpose for going into the highways and hedges is to fill God's house with souls (Lu 14:23). The purpose of the Great Commission is to "teach", or to "make disciples" of all nations (Mt 28:19-20). I don't think our problem is so much WHAT we're preaching as it is HOW we're preaching. Pr 11:30 tells us: "...he that winneth (or taketh) souls is wise." Let us pray for wisdom! Let us pray for wisdom!

God has blessed me with a brand new talk show. I will be on every Saturday at 1:30 on 1110 AM (WCBR). Many people are asking us how we're doing what we're doing at Revival Tabernacle. This talk show is a response to those that have inquired. I will be sharing the many miracles that God is working in our church and community. I will also be instructing my listeners on how we're doing it. I pray that the vision that God has given us will spread like wildfire! Please, join us each Saturday!
