Pastors Who Prey And Elder Boards Who Ignore

Last updated on: July 16, 2021 at 9:49 am By Pastor Kelly M. Williams

PASTORS WHO PREY AND ELDER BOARDS WHO IGNORE How is it possible for a pastor to prey on their parishioners for sexual favors and practice sexual misconduct and this go unnoticed for years, even decades? I hate to say it, but it takes a leadership, an elder board and a group of people who refuse to see the situation for what it is and decide to look the other way. As we step more into the #churchtoo... Read more

Live Your Courageous Calling From God

Last updated on: July 11, 2021 at 4:30 pm By Pastor Kelly M. Williams

LIVE YOUR COURAGEOUS CALLING FROM GOD We live in very challenging times right now and the last thing any of us want to do is add more challenge to our lives, but that is just what God asked Jeremiah to do. In challenging and uncertain times, it is easy to shrink back. It is easy to give up and give in and give out. It is easy to compromise who God has created you to be, but when the... Read more

Why Did You Publish The Mystery of 23: God Speaks Book?

Last updated on: July 11, 2021 at 4:07 pm By Pastor Kelly M. Williams

WHY DID YOU PUBLISH THE 23 BOOK? The story that frames the background of the 23 book began officially in 2001. God awoke me and asked me to do something that if I would have known at the time what it was going to cost me, I may have joined Jonah in running the opposite direction. But like God does with all of us, He spoon fed me incrementally the calling that He placed in my life at 1:23am... Read more

Last updated on: July 11, 2021 at 3:43 pm By Pastor Kelly M. Williams

The Mystery of 23: God Speaks FOREWORD for the book: The Mystery of 23: God Speaks by Jerry B. Jenkins This is the story of two Colorado Springs pastors from opposite ends of the evangelical spectrum. The author, Rev. Kelly Williams, may be viewed as your garden-variety Baptist-rooted, Dallas Theological Seminary-trained church planter.

Facing Your Own Sin Courageously

Last updated on: July 11, 2021 at 3:25 pm By Pastor Kelly M. Williams

FACING YOUR OWN SIN COURAGEOUSLY All of us have things that we wish were not true of us. Sometimes we call these, “regrets.” And they usually fall into one or two categories. Things we have done unintentionally and intentionally. We have all sinned intentionally and we have all sinned unintentionally. Some sins are omission. Meaning, things you didn’t do that you should have done. Some sins are commission. Meaning, things you did that you shouldn’t have done, but you... Read more

Facing The Unrepentant

Last updated on: July 11, 2021 at 3:19 pm By Pastor Kelly M. Williams

FACING THE UNREPENTANT All of us at some point in our lives will have a friend, a love one, or someone else in our life that refuses to repent. No matter what you say to them or how you try to frame it, they just won’t relent on their unrepentance. It could be a child, a parent, a friend, a co-worker, a spouse, a neighbor, or someone you don’t even know well that God has asked you to go... Read more

THE MYSTERY OF 23: GOD SPEAKS, AGAIN! And so, It begins, AGAIN. Not in the dead of night this time, but in the middle of a warm summer day while taking a walk with my entire family near the base of Lake Erie on July 16, 2017.

THE MYSTERY OF 23: GOD SPEAKS

Last updated on: June 26, 2021 at 12:28 pm By Pastor Kelly M. Williams

THE MYSTERY OF 23: GOD SPEAKS It began at 1:23 a.m. Something or possibly someone awakened me out of a deep sleep. I sat straight up in the bed, sensing a presence in my room. My wife lay in the bed next to me asleep. Wide-awake and confused, I began to see in my mind’s eye what I would now call a “vision.” My room was dark with a bit of light from the street. The red numbers – 1:23... Read more
