FROM THE DESK OF BISHOP MOODY The 2016 LifeBuilders Men’s conference was a great success. I truly believe men were restored and encouraged during the weekend. David Ring did an outstanding job sharing his story and helping men realize WE ARE BLESSED, then on Saturday Bishop Tim Hill, our General Overseer of the Church of God, challenged us to be men full of faith and the Holy Spirit. The alters filled with men seeking God and the power of the Holy Spirit. I can’t express enough how thankful I am for all those that attended this year! I want to challenge the Men of MS with this scripture, 1 Corinthians 16: 13-14; Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love. This world that we live in today need to see men acting like men, men of honor, integrity, chivalry, and faithful to God, their family, and the church. So men, as you continue to lead your family, hold fast to the faith in Jesus Christ and take the embers from the men’s conference back to your local congregations to reach your family first and the community second for the kingdom of God.
