Parenting Principles (2 of 11)
Series: To the Mount of God

Exodus 2
OPENING JOKE: J-O-H-N D-U-N-N… I’ve preached all over the world, I’ve dined with Presidents, I’ve walked the streets of Havana, I’ve even see the sun rise over the city of Jerusalem… but I have never had the honor of speaking at a Florida Baptist Foundation Event.

I will never forget being at that little room as Julie and I looked at the sonogram machine discern the shape of a little tiny human, inside of my precious wife, then the muffled sound of a beating heart. Julie was just laying there and the baby’s heart was beating over 150 beats a minute. I said, “Julie we are having a Pentecostal”. It was then that the reality of the moment really hit us.
