Today we share on this and that!!……First, Dewey and lunch with Pastor Leonard Navarre and Kelly Snelgrove of Valley View Christian Church in Edgewood, NM yesterday. Pastor Leonard (PictureD with a friend in India, during one of his mission trips to that country) is leaving Valley View to move to Lubbock, Texas. We share on a few things that we discussed at lunch……we also talk about the death of Prince, Franklin Graham and Donald Trump says, ‘pick any bathroom you want’
SUNDAY, APRIL 24TH | 5 PM
Together lets honor and celebrate our beloved Pastor Leonard Navarre for his humble leadership, heartfelt ministry, and deep love for the Lord. A casual reception will be held on Sunday, April 24th, 5 PM at Valley View Christian Church, 170 St. Rd. 344, Edgewood, New Mexico. This will be a special time for our church and community to express appreciation for Pastor Leonard’s faithful service to the Lord and for the difference he has made in the lives of so many. May God continue to bless and watch over Leonard and Diana as they go forth in this new chapter of their lives.
I received a phone call on the morning of April 8th from my long time friend and mentor, Pastor Leonard Navarre. Leonard told me he has resigned from Valley View Christian Church in Edgewood, New Mexico. I do not know of any Pastor more loved than Leonard. Leonard and his lovely wife Diana will be moving to Lubbock, Texas to be near their son Brandon and his lovely wife Lisa and the grandchildren. What an AWESOME MOVE! God and family! Amen!
Leonard and Diana formed a powerful team in serving the Edgewood area at Valley View. Now they follow God’s leading to Lubbock!
I met Leonard about 8 years ago when Pastor Don Kimbro introduced me to him. Leonard had just returned from a mission trip to India. From that time we have been very close Friends, Leonard has taught me much over the years, he helped prepare me for what God had planned for me here at FGGAM. Now God has plans for Leonard and Diana in Lubbock.
You see life is all about serving God, and Leonard and Diana have set the example for us all.
It’s all about God.
To live a God-centered life, you must focus on God’s purposes, not your own plans. Try and see things from God’s perspective rather than from your distorted human view.
Sharon and I thank Leonard and Diana for all their Godly support over the years and I will always remember the days Leonard drove from Edgewood to Albuquerque to help me at KKIM radio during New Mexico News and Views. I cannot begin to tell you how much I love this man!
These scriptures fit the life of Leonard and Diana………..
1 Samuel 12:24
Only fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart. For consider what great things he has done for you.
Colossians 3:23-24
Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.
2 Corinthians 9:7
Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
1 Corinthians 15:58
Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.
Romans 12:1
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
Note from Pastor Dewey: Franklin Graham is the best leader America has. He stands in the gap for God so strongly. I got a packet from him yesterday with the pledge I and several others made at the Prayer rally in Santa Fe, NM on March 16th on the State Capital steps……I pledge to honor God in public—by standing for biblical principles and serving those in need. James 1:27, Isiah 58:10 and 1 Cor. 16:13. 
From Franklin Graham:
Donald J. Trump’s desire to make America great again has resonated with many voters across America. However, I have to disagree with him on the statement he made about the NC bathroom law HB2 on The Today Showin an interview with Matt Lauer. He said people should use the bathroom they feel appropriate. He said that if Caitlyn Jenner came to Trump Tower, he could use any bathroom he wanted. That’s Mr. Trump’s prerogative on his own property. But businesses and organizations shouldn’t be forced by law to allow men pretending to be women to use women’s restrooms. NC Governor Pat McCrory and legislators were absolutely right to pass HB2 to protect young girls, boys, and women from sexual predators and perverts. Men have no business using women’s bathrooms and locker rooms. Period.
It’s not up to us to decide our sex—God determines that. The Bible says, “He created them male and female and blessed them.”
Yesterday I got in the mail a packet from the Billy Graham Association. It had in there sort of a recap of the Franklin Graham Prayer rally that was held at the State Capital in Santa Fe on March 16th. It listed the pledge we all made when we attended the rally. I pledge to honor God in public—by standing for Biblical principles and serving those in need. James 1:27, Isaiah 58:10 and Cor. 16:13. Are we doing that? Years ago on KKIM radio, the late, great man of God, Chuck Colson said, “The Church has become nothing but a high school pep rally.” So, was the payer rally at the Capital, just a pep rally? What has changed in New Mexico? With abortion, the fetal tissue issue at UNM……where are the people of God, where are the voices for God? Who is standing in the gap? Who is acting on the call by Franklin Graham? Please listen to our podcast now, thank you!
The culture of death continues in New Mexico.
The Albuquerque Journal is reporting this morning that House Repubicans produced documents yesterday that they say proves at least one company is illegaly profiting from the study of human fetal tissue. Democrats on the panel say there is no evidence that New Mexico organizations under investigation are profiting. ABQ Journal Report Here
