Hey folks, just in case anyone has been checking my blog, I just wanted to let you know that BTF is still in a holding pattern.
We are waiting on the State of New Mexico to finalize paperwork, never thought it would take this long.
Also, I've been picked up as Interim Youth Pastor for Hoffmantown for the next 3 to 6 months, so it will take some time before I'm back on this site. I have my hands very full with the Senior High and College group.
Please pray for me and for what God wants BTF to be.

Long time
Wow so much has happened I really don't know where to begin.
I suppose I should begin by thanking a Godlover who reminded me to post on my BTF blog.
I apologize to anyone who has been checking, sometimes I wonder if anyone reads this at all.
The reality is that God has grabbed a hold of me in a way I can't even begin to describe. He has given me clarity of direction for His perfect will in my life and I couldn't be more excited.
BTF will be morphing into a true fellowship and pull away from the idea of corporate worship. Our intentions will be to meet once a week or once every two weeks and have one to two fellowship events per month.
Meanwhile, God has arrested me and those called alongside me to "the project". I really can't discuss the details as they are protected by confidentiality agreements. Suffice it to say that we could really use some prayer.
BREAK BREAK
In other news, I spent some time this afternoon with Javen and Silas and they were both reading to me out of their reading book. It was so amazingly cute to watch them and how excited they were to read to me.
BREAK BREAK
Can I just tell you that I love the people that God has put into my life?
How has God blessed you?
God bless...

NSX GO GO GO
Last night I met with Alan, Mike and Char at the church to load up everything for our family today.
This morning I head to the church to pick up the food, meat, flowers and photo certificate.
Then I meet everyone over at our family's apartment at 10.
It is very exciting to see this happening all over the city. May Almighty God be praised and may everyone glorify Him throughout this process.
He is.

NSX, and volunteers
Today I took Darius and Ari with me to Hoffmantown to work at the church on the Not So Extreme (NSX) Makeover project.
With us went my two co-workers in the Coast Guard and some of their children. It was a great blessing to be involved in NSX once again and even more so to watch my co-workers involved in this amazing ministry.
I received a phone call from the Baptist Association of New Mexico today that is interested in BTF and church planting. I look forward to touching base with them again when I return from Austin.
Saturday is the big day for NSX. Sunday I leave for Austin. I can't wait.
God bless!

Arise
"Arise arise I have conquered the grave!" Cries out the God-man Jesus!
On this day we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus!
Witness after witness.. over 500 testified to His resurrection..
It was never disputed in ancient times.. they attempted to hide it..
But they never disputed it... had they had proof.. they simply would have refuted it showing proof...
Instead the proof is that we are transformed today by a relationship with a living Savior who conquered sin and death.
Arise arise I have conquered the grave!
HE IS RISEN!! HE IS RISEN INDEED! Has your life been transformed as a result of His work?

NSX, Preps, Project
Wow this week has been amazing.
Wednesday I met with my mentor Wayne Barber for about 5.5 hours (2 hour study followed by 3.5 hour mentoring time)
I have been immensely blessed to be under Wayne's instruction and care. I pray that God would continue to bless this man in a great way and use him as His instrument.
Thursday we had our Go Team Leader meeting for upcoming NSX week! Everyone is really starting to come together.
Friday my son asked me why we called it "Good Friday" and that led to an excellent discussion with my 10 year old Darius!
Saturday (Today) about 250 of us gathered at Hoffmantown to meet for the NSX (Not So Extreme) and after our meeting many of us stuck around to help sort and catalog the thousands upon thousands of donations. It was truly amazing to watch.
Normally I'm responsible for massive mobilizations like this but today my role was that of "heavy lifter". To be honest it was nice just to receive instruction and work... instead of being the one giving the instruction... Thank you Lord for an amazing blessing today.
I got to see Char, Alan, Joy and Mike today for the first time since dinner and it was a nice time. I'm excited to be working side by side with them. This next week is going to be tremendous.. I couldn't be more excited.
God bless Char who has practically volunteered for everything under the sun, her husband Alan who worked today faithfully lifting, sorting and simply working. God bless Mike who and Joy who came today despite the fact that Joy was under the weather!
What an awesome group of people you've put on the team Lord! Thank you for the above named individuals.
BREAK BREAK
Last but not least.. pray for "The Project" from time to time I will refer to it. Please keep it in your prayers. God knows what it is.
God bless!

The Savior enters
Today is Palm Sunday (rather yesterday) it is late as I write this.
I'm humbled and amazed at my Savior Jesus the Christ's journey into Jerusalem.
He knew where He was headed. He gave all for His own creation.
Thank you Lord Jesus for riding the donkey into Jerusalem so many years ago. Thank you for who You are.
Break Break
Had a great conversation with a young man today about Mormonism. I'll call him Mars. I want to protect his identity, but if you see me refer to Mars, that is who I'm talking about.
He had some great questions and seems honestly seeking his faith. I'm excited about him and am going to spend some time this evening in prayer for him.
Break Break
After service this morning, we went to lunch with Lisa and Kolan and Lisa's parents to a place called Little Anita's here in Albuquerque. It was a great meal. Our server was a lady named Shelly. We asked how we could pray for her, it nearly broke her into tears. It is amazing to see what a simple gesture of the Savior's love can do. Please pray for Shelly and her family.

after death
I've been conversing recently with a very close friend. My friend is doing a paper on the Roman Catholic idea of purgatory.
I'm not going to get into that now. But I told my friend to do research on the Bible first and to see what it in fact says happens after death.
Here are some of the points we have been discussing.
1. Unbelievers are sent to Hades. A place of torment to await judgment at the Great White Throne of God (Rev 20)
2. Believers are not sent to Hades, rather they are in the presence of the King, awaiting the Glorious Resurrection, the Second Coming and the judgement of their works at the Bema seat.
3. Keep in mind that believers are not judged according to their sin, their sin was already judged upon Christ at the cross.
God bless you all in your continued studies.

God's beauty
Today I drove to Taos, New Mexico from Albuquerque.
I drove through the mountains and touched the clouds. The rocks and cliffs of God are amazing.
How utterly magnificent they were... how they must just pale in comparison to Him.
The Creator is always greater than the creation... just ask the enemy.
God bless!

Balance
Balancing ministry and family can be a tricky thing.
The call of the Pastor is to ministry. The call of the husband is to minister to his bride as the Christ does to the church.
When God calls us to do things, how do we prioritize? The answer lies in the fact that God will not call us to do something that would not bless our brides. Christ will NEVER do something that will not be a blessing to His bride the church.
Likewise we as servants of the King are never to do things that will be an anti-blessing to our brides.
Sometimes the call of God to do something can be so very strong that we have to simply, stop and pray and ask for God's timing and perfection in His work.
We love the call of God and want to respond.. but we must never respond to the call of God at the expense of our family.
God bless!

The Brass
Although this is my ministerial blog, it is also a personal blog. I have been a bi-vocational pastor for 7 years now and besides being a pastor, I am a Chief in the United States Coast Guard.
I have been in the Coast Guard for 18 years and am currently the Recruiter In Charge of the State of New Mexico.
Part of the reason I have been so busy as of late is that the Commanding Officer and the Command Master Chief are coming to pay a visit this morning. Many preps have been made in anticipation of their arrival and I'm looking forward to their visit.
Pray that our meeting goes well.
BREAK BREAK
Thanks again to Lydia for lending me her book. That really blessed me Lydia!! Thanks again!
BREAK BREAK
We are still waiting on the State to finish up our non-profit paperwork. The waiting game is ok with me though, for I know that all things will happen in God's perfect timing.

Hey Jude
Today during our study we looked at Jude 4-7 and talk about a difficult passage of Scripture! Wow!
We have to look at what the Scripture says though, not what we think it should say. We never align Scripture with our beliefs rather Scripture should always define our beliefs.
Who were the Nephilim in Genesis 6?
I'll leave that for you to discover, but I will give you a hint.. look at the writings of Jude and Peter as well as the writings of Moses.
God bless!

Brothers from other Mothers
Kolan, Brother Bob and Dean,
Thanks to the three of you as of late for the words of encouragement. Perseverance is of the highest priority.
My Coast Guard job has been keeping me super busy as of late, and I feel as though I've neglected family and ministry. I've really been praying about how to balance life and ministry. I know that God has called me to serve Him, and I also know that He will never call me to do something that conflicts with His Word.
In this we can always stand firm. God will NEVER call us to do something that conflicts with His revealed will in His Word!
I need to discharge the duties of my ministry, but not at the expense of blessing my wife, nor at the expense of those placed in authority over me.
So to my brothers from other mothers (but the same heavenly Father) I salute you for your words of encouragement!
BREAK BREAK
Last week, I didn't get to go to my meeting with Pastor Wayne and to be honest I was a bit frustrated, but I understand he is a busy man.
Last Sunday we went to our Sunday School and our study of Titus, but then we were slated to work with the four year olds. I enjoyed it very much, but missed the message preached by Pastor Wayne. I pray that this week we are able to meet. I really miss this time with my mentor.
BREAK BREAK
This week, on Thursday I have my Commanding Officer and Command Master Chief coming into town on Thursday. This is the first time our CO and CMC have visited this office in years! Although I look forward to it, much preperation is being made.
Thursday is also "Da Badger's" (my son Javen's) birthday. I love Da Badger with all my heart and am actually looking forward to Thursday night. Please pray that my meeting with the CO and CMC goes well that I can enjoy family time with my son on his birthday that evening.
BREAK BREAK
Yesterday afternoon we went to Burger King with the kids for lunch as Marie had a doctor's appointment. She had asked me to meet them for lunch.
When we were there, in line there were some unbathed, and what appeared to be homeless people. One in particular that was in line smelled something awful! I was disgusted initially and God quickly convicted my heart as He tends to do and literally I confessed my pride, repented and asked for His forgiveness.
I sat and prayed, thanking God for His forgiveness and also that He would bless this man who was in need.
God reminded me that none of us are worthy of Him and to Him we are not worthy to be in His presence, except for the work of the Christ!
I continued to pray for this man and felt peace in my heart, when around this time Marie came to the table (I was with the kids, she was ordering) and told me that God had put it on her heart to buy that man's meal! What a praise! Without speaking to my wife about what God was doing over my own pride, Marie had it put upon her heart to purchase His meal.
I don't put this in my blog to put Marie in a good light, or to say "look at us how great we are". NO! I put it here so that the GLORY OF GOD might be displayed even through a Pastor's pride and repentance.
God you are amazing!

Arianna's Birthday and lack of blog posts
Folks forgive me for not posting more regularly!
It has been an extremely busy week for me and I appreciate the patience of those who are faithful to read my blog.
I still have much to post regarding Tuesday's topics, but for tonight I just wanted to say that it was my daughter's ninth birthday today. God has truly blessed me with her!
(I had written a long post and my two left thumbs somehow found a way to delete it!) How frustrating.
Basically it said that we enjoyed time with the Wright's today at lunch and that was awesome, also that our pens came in! A promotional item which simply reads, "Live life, Love God" and has our website address.
The pen also writes well! I'm excited about this too.. because it is a giveaway but sometimes people have pens that are horrible. These are actually functional.
Still waiting on the State for our non profit status. Still praying for direction!
God bless,
Pastor Eric

NSX Meeting Tomorrow
Tomorrow is a long day for me. I have to be downtown at 0545, then it is off to try and get things set up and ready for the Go Team meeting for the Not So Extreme missionary project tomorrow night.
Lots of online stuff to do. Also I've got a ton of things to research and do before my meeting on Wednesday with Pastor Wayne.
And I've still got to update the website.
Please pray for me, this will be a busy busy week.
Also, I need to do a study on the word darkness.. I'll explain later but it is more proof of the impeccability of the Christ.
God bless!

hurting hearts
Lord God, I have a friend who I just got off the phone with that is hurting so very bad. She is at the "jumping off place". She called me, but is crying out to You! Please touch her heart Lord God. Please wrap Your arms around her and comfort her as only You can.
For those of you who read this blog, please pray for my friend, her name is unimportant at this point, God knows who she is. Just please pray for her.

The key to understanding peccability vs. impeccability
Never base your theology on one passage of Scripture.. however when looking at the whole of Scripture it is ok to have a key verse to support something that is clearly outlined.
The key verse to understanding peccability vs. impeccability is found in the book of James 1:13. The word is aperiazo it literally means that Jesus could not be tempted as we understand temptation.
Jesus was not able to sin as opposed to able not to sin. This is where I stand.
