Welcome
May I introduce myself to you? It has been my privilege to be the Pastor of Glorieta since June, 2003. My wife Shirley and I enjoy being a part of this great fellowship. For those who may not know, I was ordained into the gospel ministry on May 16, 1982. I have served as pastor of churches in California, Arizona, and Colorado. I was the Director of the Rocky Mountain Campus of Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary in Denver, Colorado and President of Cook College and Theological School before coming to Glorieta. I earned the Doctor of Ministry degree from Golden Gate in May, 1995. Our son, Rendon, is the Youth Minister of First Baptist Church, Kellyville, Oklahoma. Our daughter, Shera, is a student at Oklahoma Baptist University studying elementary education. If I can assist you in any way, feel free to contact me.Something to Think About
Some years ago, the great boxer, Mohammed Ali, was asked by a ghetto youth how he could quit school and start a boxing career since he had bad grades. Ali smiled at the young man and said in his poetic fashion: "Stay in college and get the knowledge,
And stay there! Til you're through
Cause if God can make penicillin out of moldy bread,
He can make something out of you."
This is the good news of John 3. Because God so loved the world, He SENT His only son to make something out of us; when we accept Him into our lives and commit our hearts to Him, then He gives us new life in this world - and new life in the world to come. Are you tired of your hurts, habits, and hang-ups? I have good news for you. Your life can be different. You can look forward to the future with great expectations. 2 Corinthians 5: 17 says, “If anyone is in Christ, he (or she) is a new creation. The old has past away, and everything has become new.” This is a wonderful promise. You have a higher power. His name is Jesus. I urge you to turn to him.
