It always is joy to come into your homes each week. We know that God has good things in store for you.

We come with good news and we just believe that today you're going to be changed as you listen.

If you're in our area, I hope you'll stop by. I give you a personal invitation. I say it often but these are the finest people in all of Houston.

We'll make you feel right at home. So come by and see us. We'd love to have you. Thanks for tuning in today.

I like to get started each week with something funny. So see what you think of this one.

A young man received a parrot as a gift. But the parrot had an extremely cantankerous attitude and every word out of his mouth was rude and obnoxious.

The young man got so fed up with it one day, he grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer hoping to teach him a lesson.

The parrot squawked and kicked and screamed but then suddenly fell silent.

Fear and he had heard him, he quickly opened the door. The parrot stepped out and said, I believe I may have offended you.

I'm seriously remorseful and promised to never to behave that way again. And by the way, the parrot continued. May I ask what the turkey did?

Hold your Bible up and say it like you mean it. Ready? This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have.

I can do what it says I can do. Today I'll be taught the Word of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert. My heart is receptive. I will never be the same.

I am about to receive the incorruptible, indestructible, ever-living seed of the Word of God. I'll never be the same. Never, never, never. I'll never be the same in Jesus' name.

God bless you. You sound great as usual. I want to talk to you today about one of the greatest enemies that we will ever face and that is procrastination.

How many people you moan like the other services? How many people know in their heart what they should do? Down in here they know what's right and they have good intentions but they just keep putting it off and putting it off.

The interesting thing about procrastination is it is so easy to justify. We think one day I'm going to do that so I'm not really being disobedient.

Joel, one day I'm going to get serious about my relationship with God just not right now. Or one day I'm going to get back in shape. One day I'm going to get my finances in order.

Or one day I'm going to forgive that person that hurt me. No, the problem with that is most of the time one day never comes. Never get around to it. We're always making some other excuse.
