The Lesson: The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones that care. Pass this on to those people who have made a difference in your life. “Don’t worry about the world coming to an end

Mass Funeral And Wedding At MBBC
The late Ron Dunn saw God move in his church in the 1970’s in a remarkable way. There was a heaven sent revival that changed the course of the church and the life of the pastor. God poured out His Spirit in MacArthur Blvd. Baptist Church in an unusual way. That revival was a turning

Place Shaken
My friend Ron Dunn died several years ago, but his words still ring in my ears. I was looking through some articles he wrote in the 1970s when the church he pastured was going through an extended season of revival. They stirred my heart, inspired me to seek after God and to pray for revival.
