On
the TV series, West Wing, the president had a phrase that
described his forward looking efforts. After dealing with the most
pressing needs at hand, he would look at his staff and say... “What’s
next?” Meaning: what’s coming? What video we need to be p
preparing for tomorrow and not just today? Some things we can
anticipate and prepare for but there are some to which we will
have no idea because we are not in control! The “what’s next?”
that we know about are Super Bowl Sunday activities! Special music
with combined choirs, wearing your favorite team jersey, a video
of cowboy tight end Jason Witten, super bowl fellowships in homes
Sunday evening, a great time to include all your guests listed on
your Bible study rolls. It will be a fun day. I will be speaking
on the Blind Spot of “Distractions”. I know we won’t have
any that day!
Also, “what’s
next?” will be Xtreme weekend Feb. 11-13 when our students will
be spending Friday through Sunday in homes learning and growing in
their faith. We will have a special speaker and worship leaders
that Sunday! It is our opportunity to pray and support what God is
doing in the hearts and lives of our students! Remember as
Christians our ultimate; “what’s next?” is heaven! We should
live with our eyes on the stars charting our course even as we
have our hands on the sails in the middle of the seas. I look
forward to this Sunday as we deal with “Materialism”, the way
of thinking that robs us of our eternal prospective. Until then,
look out for those blind spots!
Faithfully
yours, Bro. Rocky Pope It’s |

MLBC
has a NEW Brotherhood Director
(as of Jan
15, 2011)!
He is George
Felkner. I have enjoyed working with him for several years. After
18 years I am stepping aside for this younger and more energetic
man. He will move forward with new and creative mission ideas for
men and boys. I know you will give George your full support as God
continues to bless this mission work. It has been an honor and
blessing to see so many of you men and ladies in service for
Christ and our community. Thank you for your encouragement and
support along our journey.
Sincerely, Karl
