United while staying focused

 

    Greetings everyone!...It has been a couple days since I have posted anything. To be honest I have been dealing with a personal issue that almost took my desire to continue on with this blog. Let me start by saying that this is my attempt to keep focused and stay on the positive path as it relate to my Christian walk.
     It seems like the more time I spend reading the word of God the harder obstacles are thrown at me. My brother told me that the devil works to destroy anything that glorifies God. I had the most frustrating weekend and I believe that it was an attempt by the enemy to keep me in darkness and he succeeded. I even thought about not going to church however I pressed on...Thank God!!!!!!!!
  

      I ended up visiting United Baptist Church located on Hawkins Ave here in Akron, Ohio. When we first entered the church my son and I was a little tired. I had worked from 9 the night before until 7 am the next morning. It was 8am and my son stayed up late as well however we still made it. This was the 6th church this month.
     I picked this church because my wife and I went here for premartial counseling. The morning service was filled with the same energy as a 11oclock service. They had praise and worship accompanied with a four piece. The band seemed like a old school blued band but everyone was 30 and under except the guitar player.The choir was great as they sung what sounded like old negro spirituals.
     The pastor Kevin Rushing was a young guy that sounded like like Martin Luther King. I mean he really sounded like the King. I don't know why so many preachers sound the same but it was obvious that this pastor was train in the spirit of all the old school southern preachers. My son looked at me during the service while the pastor was really into it and said "dang he is killing it" he also asked me "[s the Pastor singing? I told him that I wasn't sure but we both agreed we were inspired and entertained.
