New Year’s Prayer
Reflecting on the Spirit’s presence being so strong within the early church, so much so that the mere touch of Peter’s shadow was healing those who stepped into it; I am believing and praying that 2011 will be a year of power.

Where is the power?
Questions have been whirling around inside of my mind for that past few weeks: Where are those who truly believe?! Where are those who have been transformed? Where are those who care not about their opinions, but care about the truth of the Scriptures? Where are the redeemed? As Psalm 107:2 declares, let them say so! Where is the boldness of the children of God? Where is the love that people shall know... read more

Billy Hornsby’s Thoughts on the Holy Spirit and the Church
Here are some of Hornsby’s statements on the Holy Spirit and how people respond to Him and His gifts within the Church: The Holy Spirit wants us to do a lot more than speak in tongues!

In Kindergarten I was officially voted 'Most Inquisitive'.
I have been asking questions ever since as I believe that they are the catalyst to discovering the world all around us.
The answers to these questions have led me into an everlasting committed relationship with Jesus Christ, into a marriage with the love of my life, and into being the father of the two most beautiful children on earth.
It is my personal mission to glorify God with my life, advance His Kingdom through my ministry, and to love my family with everything I have.
I am the Pastor at Fellowship Church in Salem, Oregon and these are my thoughts on life.
