It's that time of year, friends, the time when we look back at the previous year and ask who really went above and beyond the call of duty to win souls for the Lord, and give that person the Pastor Ezekiel Flint Award for Excellence in Theology!



Nominations will be accepted until the end of the month. Please feel free to nominate any pastor or Christian who you feel is deserving of this honor.

I'm going to start things off my nominating Pastor Ezekiel Flint.

I second the nomination!

PRAISE THE LORD!

There is almost too much to choose from, and naturally Pastor Zeke is the obvious choice.

But (if only to give this exercise some appearance of fairness) I would like to nominate Brother Alphonse Alban. He has done much valuable work, but I was particularly impressed by the graphics in the first post here, explaining why Matthew, Mark and Luke's accounts differed in the case of the Gadarene swine. Suddenly the whole "problem" of apparent inconsistency went away!

My only fear is that as a result of his work, Landover Baptist will be inundated with saved, semi-feral folk from the frozen wastes!

Who remembers Pastor Zeke's acceptance speech last year? Boy oh boy, was that a doozy. I thought he was just going to say a few brief words of thanks, but he wound up praising the Lord for six hours straight without even taking a sip of water!

This morning I was having a "lie in" with my 10 year old, we were snuggled up in bed and I shared with him a conversation I had with a sweet 5 year old boy at Awana's last night about heaven and what it was like and the little boy said "oh boy I want to die right now." When I told this to my son he sighed and he said "yeah, I'm ready to go home."

Home. This isn't our home. Heaven is our home. For those of us with our names in the Lambs book of life, we are aliens to this earth, one foot in glory and the other here. Waiting.

This woman has been touched by Jesus and is sharing her Godly experiences with 5 year olds in the safety of a bed.

She is my first nominee.

I recommend Gregory Reid as "Best investigative True Christian" for his testimony:

At the same time, a “former occultist” here got “saved” and began attending an Assembly of God church. He claimed to have been a Rosicrucian who was a courier to the Illuminati in DC. Within a short time, he became associate pastor. Then he began calling anyone who was in ministry who did deliverance, fought the occult or were saved out of the occult. He interviewed them, gathered information. I was one of the last he interviewed, more of an interrogation, and I felt the presence of familiar spirits the whole time he was at my apartment. Days after, he suddenly left, never to be heard of again. The church had several kids who had been molested while he was there, and the youth pastor’s two small children were killed in a freak auto accident. The church was decimated. Another Assembly of God at the same time was driven to failure by direct attack – death threats, finding slaughtered birds at the altar when they opened for Sunday service, and much more. Apparently, they had access to the church before two caretakers moved in. They wanted “their” church back, they said in one phone threat, and they would kill everyone to do it if they had to.

I needed confirmation of all I was learning. I received it through a dear pastoral couple in my association who had a wonderful church in the worst part of DC. Their ministry was wonderfully successful, aided a great deal by a couple that they befriended, grew close to and eventually became right arms to their ministry. Then, everything went wrong and their ministry was under horrible attack on every level.

The pastors cried out to God for answers, and they were stunned when He showed them that their best friends were behind it! Shocked, reluctant, they confronted their friends. They laughed. “We’re Satanists”, they said. “You were our assignment.”
