Put on Christ

We have just kept the Passover and Days of Unleavened Bread. Gary Smith warns us that we cannot now say, "Well, that's over, It's back to normal." If we take that attitude we will not grow over the next year. We need to continue growing and the only way that can happen is to let Jesus live in us, or as the Bible puts it, we need to put on Christ.

Gary Smith was born in Charlotte, North Carolina, but spent most of his youth in the Pasadena, California area. He graduated from Ambassador College in 1976 and he and his wife, Liz, moved to Peoria, Illinois. For the next six years he worked as a nursing home administrator in Illinois, Ohio, and Texas.
In 1982, he and Liz began to serve in the full-time ministry. Since that time, they have served in a number of congregations in the Midwest.
Gary and Liz now pastor in Houston, Texas near their two children and grandson.
Apart from pastoring, Gary enjoys hiking, playing and watching sports, reading and spending time with family.
