Delinquent
Dear friends, I would like to thank you for reading Soul Man and commenting in the past year. The Holy Spirit has been convicting me about my blogging inconsistency over the last couple months. So I want to I simply and humbly apologize and ask your forgiveness for my negligence.
Over the last several months The Williams Tribe has been transitioning to my new position and new community at Trinity Church. This time has been a time of laughter, grief (leaving Tabernacle), excitement, adventure, opportunities, change and sometimes fear of that change. We weren’t expecting God to “move our cheese,” but he did and each day we are excited to sniff out the new “Cheese Station” and opportunities that he has provided us. I will be blogging soon about the lessons God is already teaching me and my family. But, I wanted to take time today to offer this apology for my delinquency and to let you know that, like vanilla extract, I’m back in the mix.
In what area of your life – family, friendships, community, or finances – have you been delinquent and need to be more consistent? To what commitment do you need to say, “I’m back?”

Would you agree that you've had a lot on your plate lately? I enjoy your blogs, but I think most of us understand your hectic schedule keeps you from blogging as much as you would want. Life, it keeps getting in the way.

Hello Pastor Marvin,
I had missed hearing from you. I am glad to see you back in the mix. Sometimes when we are convicted over being delinquent/absent in certain areas it cn be helpful. It often times confirms our calling and committment to whatever area it is. It is nice to know that what you do is effecting anothers for His glory and that it is actually a calling by God for whatever reason.
May you and yours continue to be blessed.

Marvin, I am grateful that God has called you to Trinity. The first Sunday I heard you teach there, I thought how wonderful it would be if you were called as our senior teaching pastor. I was raised in the church and have heard the Gospel taught all my life, but you still have a way of helping me see things from a different perspective, so it always feels fresh and new. Thank you for allowing God to use you! We continue to pray for your family through this transition.

Man Big P, I was just wondering what was up with you a few days ago! Glad you're back! I enjoy reading your blogs as they have been on point and encouraging to me. I look forward to hearing about what God is doing in the Williams family. Much love to you, Tonia and the rest of the clan.

The good thing about being in relationship with God is that He makes us aware of our delinquencies. Once aware it is up to us to do just as you have done and are setting a perfect example to all those who follow you. Apologize and do better, just what God wants you and all of us to do. I look forward to your re-committment to your blogs and I believe that because you have been forgiven the expression of that forgiveness will manifest itself even more in your writings. Your followers, your cyber ministry will be blessed!

Great post and message at the right time for me. I have been going through alot of changes in my life that made me turn away from my worship and friendships. I was feeling a way that I knew I was not on track or keeping my relationship with Christ. There were distractions and laziness on my part. I felt convicted but did nothing about it. I read your post and realized I need to be proactive in my faith and walk with Christ. I truly realize how God is extremely faithful even when I am not, he still blessed me and my family in so many ways. I am so happy to know that God does not punish or turn his back on me when I fail. He is an Amazing God.
