Duluth/Johns Creek/Alpharetta CPA on Seeking God’s Power With All of Your Mind, Body & Spirit…Taking Christianity Into the World

When our family was first asked to lead a Family Mission Trip, we immediately began praying the prayer of Jabez and that God might allow us to have a dramatic impact on the reservation and in the heart and lives of the Navajo. 

Be Bold In Your Faith: Call on God for Miracles  

Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted his request. 1 Chronicles 4:10   

This trip has grown from the first year to when almost fifteen of us went  five times that number going this year. God has done it all. All we have done is to be obedient to His calling  

I am reminded of the story in the Old Testament of the Bible in the book of 2 Kings. There we are told about a widow of a man who had deceased.  The widow called on the Prophet Elisha for help. Elisha promptly advise her go to all of her neighbors and to ask for empty jars and not just a few and then to take all of them home. Elisha told the widow to pour from the oil in her jar at home into all the jars that she had gathered. The widow however did only partially what Elisha had told her and stopped when she felt she had “enough” jars in so doing limited God’s blessings. 

Don’t Underestimate or Limit God  

She [the widow] left him and afterward shut the door behind her and her sons. They brought the jars to her and she kept pouring.  When all the jars were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another one.”  But he replied, “There is not a jar left.” Then the oil stopped flowing.  2 Kings 4:5-6   

Too frequently I believe we are like the widow and limit God. Frequently in life when we are at the precipice of our greatest victory that we begin to get afraid and tend to limit what God might want to do in our lives. I believe God calls us to live expectantly seeking all the more so that we might do more for the Kingdom.   

When Nehemiah heard about how the walls of Jerusalem lay in ruins he first was still as he fasted and prayed seeking to learn what God would have him do. He did not rush out but was well reasoned and organized. After confirming God’s calling on his life, Nehemiah called out to God seeking God’s favor and blessing for his journey ahead, for which he quickly learned God was blessing his obedience. Upon arriving in Jerusalem, Nehemiah was analytical in surveying the damage to the city walls,  insightful in his delegation and leadership and both wise and prudent in seeking out others of like mind.  

Then I [Nehemiah] said to them, “You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been burned with fire. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and we will no longer be in disgrace.” I also told them about the gracious hand of my God upon me and what the king had said to me. They replied, “Let us start rebuilding.” So they began this good work. Nehemiah 2:17-18

Atlanta/Duluth GA  CPA Presents 7’s heart: Seeking to Serve Christ in All Ways…Taking Christianity Into the World 

Serving/Feeding the Homeless of Atlanta: Serving the Least, the Lost and the Last 

Word for the week: Strength In Weakness. Matt 20:20-28       

No one wants to be weak, so we find ways to appear strong. Some of us use the force of our emotions to manipulate people. Others use the force to control people, and some use intellect to intimidate. Although these create an illusion of strength, they are signs of weakness.  When we are truly strong, we have the courage to admit our limitations and to acknowledge our dependence on God. As a result, true strength looks a lot like weakness. When the apostle Paul prayed that an affliction would be taken from him, God answered, ” My grace is sufficient for you, for my strength us made perfect in weakness.” (Cor.12:9) Paul responded with these troubling words: “when I am weak, then I am strong.” Toward the end of Jesus’ earthly ministry, some of His disciples were striving for positions of prominence. Jesus used their argument as an opportunity to teach them that we willingly assume positions of weakness ( Matt 20:26). 

This is a hard truth. I prefer the illusion of strength to  the reality of weakness. But God wants us to realize that true strength comes when we stop trying to control people and start serving them instead. Whoever decides to become great among you, let him be your servant. Matthew 20:26 

I would like to thank all the volunteers that came out to the bridges Saturday. I was touched to see so many willing hearts going and serving the last, lost, and the least. I also want to say thank you to all the volunteers that help keep Gods ministry running.  There are so many blessings being poured out and so many prayers being answered inside the ministry. Glory be to God!!! 

Oswald stated that we should not look for God to come in any particular way, but do look for him. The way to make room for him is to expect him to come, but not in a certain way.  Let God surprise you!! Live in a constant state of expectancy. Every day that God  gives you,. allow him to guide you and trust in his word because he will fulfill his promises. We are expecting God each and every day to show up and show out inside of His ministry.  Don’t put boundaries on God, especially on what is already his. Thank you for your hearts, thank you for your support, and thank you for the continual love that you pour out for this ministry. May God Bless you. 

Love, Pastor 7

Pastor 7 with 7 Bridges to Recovery is doing great things to Feed the Homeless of Atlanta while spreading the word of God. I suggest you go down and see what he is doing on the weekends to take the message to the streets of Atlanta. I believe he would be a great speaker to the whole congregation and Discipleship Groups as people are looking for opportunities to get real with their faith by being the very Hands and Feet of Jesus Christ.    You can read about his Ministry at http://www.7bridgestorecovery.org/home_page.html   We are actively involved in going and supporting Pastor 7 and the great work he is doing to Serve the Lost, the Last & the Least.     John Dillard, CPA of His CPA, PC (An Atlanta Christian CPA firm) 1940 Woods River Lane, Duluth, GA 30097  Phone 770-814-9304   http://www.hiscpa.com/    http://www.john-dillard.com/

Atlanta CPA Firm Presents Meeting Notes/Minutes for Navajo Family Missions…Taking Christianity Into the World 

For those of you who weren’t at the meeting on Sunday, here are a few highlights of what we covered.  If you haven’t turned in your interest slips, please reply to this e-mail with the info needed. 

• Opening prayer and thoughts from John: 

“I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.” John 14:12-14  Jesus encourages us in our faith to do even greater things than He did. Imagine it, for a moment, let the thought sink in. The King of the Universe and the Creator of All, Abba Father tells us that we can do great things in His name. We are further encouraged by the Apostle Paul, to be bold in our Faith living up to the destiny and calling on our lives. Each and every one of you who have felt the call to go on this trip has great things that you will each do, as you serve the Navajo people and each other, by being the very hands and feet of Jesus Christ.

• Trip theme:  becoming a true part of their culture – learning their ways, their crafts, their ways of worship, etc.
• Introduction of team leaders
• Tommy & Julie will be helping with leading the trip (complaint department
• Sports Camp will be merged with Bugs 4 Christ to form “Teen Outreach” to be led by John Dillard, Tommy, Kevin and John (we will be placing a lot of our focus on teen outreach this year)
• Group travel will be offered if we have more than 10 people interested in group travel (which we currently do)
• Handouts:  Interest slip, areas of service – we will try and put you where you desire to be but please be flexible as you may not get your first choice
• On March 14th, we will be hosting a “Raising Individual Funds” class that will explore raising individual funds for your mission trip.  We will have personal testimonies, support, encouragement and creative ways to raise money to help you pay for your trip.  This is open to the entire church.
• We will be working very hard to establish a “worship team” to coordinate with our spiritual leader (John Dillard) and create a morning and evening worship service that will guarantee that we take time out of our busy schedule to reflect, rejoice, refresh.
• If you happen to have a child in Student Life who has been or is going on a mission trip, you know the rules for them to go on the trips – they are required to be at the team meetings. I know most of us are adults on this trip but the rules are the same.  Team meetings are essential not only to the planning of the trip, but coming together as a true team and getting to know each other.  We have exceptions and will handle those on a one on one basis but PLEASE try and make each meeting.  We cover A LOT of material in each meeting and notes can’t be sent out after each one.
• Deposits are due March 1st.  We have set our team number at 60 people and currently have over 75 interested so please make sure your deposits and forms are in by March 1st.
• We will have encouragement/prayer partners this year.  We will draw names next meeting and please keep these names secret – we will reveal them our last night on the reservation.  We can discuss further at next meeting.
• In honor of Penny, we will be continuing her book fair this year so please hang on to any books (children, teen, adult) as well as magazines (that are appropriate)
• Prayer squares – these will be presented to us as we near departure, please hang on to these and they will be collected to make a blanket.
• Please add service projects to the areas of interest as we need a leader who will take this on and work with Nathan to determine projects.
• The attachment to this e-mail is an interest slip and areas of service.  If you haven’t turned yours in yet, please look over the areas that you think would be of interest to you and reply to my e-mail with the following information:  Your first, second and third interest choices, your t-shirt size and whether or not you are interested in group travel plus any other information that you think would be helpful (musician, artist, cook, etc.)  (I need separate information for each member of your family.
• Upcoming dates: March 4-6 Centering Prayer (information sent out earlier)

                                    March 14th at 4:00 – Raising Individual Funds for your mission trip

                                    March 21st – Team meeting Town Hall after 2nd service

This is going to be an awesome trip for all of us but it does require a lot of planning, flexibility, patience and understanding.  Please keep this trip, the team members and you and your family in deep prayer as we move forward in preparing for this trip.

Atlanta CPA Firm Owner John Dillard CPA Has been Nominated for the Second Year in a Row for the GAYA (Georgia Author of the Year Award)

The Inspiration Series

We are all faced with obstacles, disappointments and failures in our lives and we are continually seeking ways to overcome life’s challenges.  We get mired in the day-to-day and forget that through God, all things are possible, by the knowledge and faith in God’s word. As you read along you will see how to persevere through untold tragedies, how to accomplish great things in God’s name and how to live your life the way God always intended. The Inspiration Series will show how, through prayer and being “still”, to discern God’s immutable will for their lives. Sharing the stories of how ordinary people like you and me can do great things through God’s providence, guiding us to see how God is divinely in control of our lives and that God’s discipline is the tool God uses as an act of love, making us more like him.  All books in The Inspiration Series are to be used to develop Bible study handbooks, speaking engagements and a series for children as well.

The Inspiration Series is for those who are just stepping out in their faith to those who have been seeking God’s will all their lives.  It will touch those who are lost, frustrated, who feel insignificant and show them that God has a purpose for them and needs each and every one of us to fulfill his perfect will.  It is for readers who are looking to deepen their relationship with Christ and further seek to overcome life’s challenges God’s way.  It will help all readers to learn how to discern God’s will and do his calling and not that of their own.

At present, there is not a book that is in direct competition with The Inspiration Series as we strive to better see God’s will, defining moments, and His destiny for our lives. You will be able to look to these works as a guide and prayer bringing fresh revelations predominantly by the study of the Old Testament discovering the love and grace of our God rather than his condemnation. Come along as you discover a God who is your Abba Father who will never forsake or desert you. As you read you will gain confidence with easy to follow applications and actionable guidelines to help you accomplish the best for your life.

In life as we grow in both knowledge and wisdom we are able to witness people in both the best and worst of times. I have seen many friends and associates soar well beyond what they had originally seen as limiting factors. I enjoy and relish being able to make a difference in the lives of others.

Overcoming Life’s 9/11’s is the first of the series and A Voice of One follows.

Overcoming Life’s 9/11’s

God’s Way of Overcoming Obstacles in Your Life
The First Volume of John Dillard’s Inspiration Series

The walk of a believer is often fraught with trials and tribulations leading to both defeat and victory. Life’s tragedies, your personal 9/11’s come into our lives seemingly in waves as we face obstacles, which both challenge our confidence and test our faith. Time stood still as the towers fell on that fateful day on September 11, 2001 and lives all over the world were changed forever and the world as we knew it would never be the same.  It is only by the power of an almighty God that we are to persevere.

As tragedy befalls our life, God shares his wisdom with us so we might overcome the world. By leaning on him in the darkness that befalls us, we are able to rise above circumstances that otherwise might cripple our lives. There will be times when you will feel abandoned by all those about you who choose to criticize rather than support and encourage you. We all need a “safe place to fall,” a family member or a brother or sister in Christ who will comfort us in our time of need. Come along one man’s journey as he loses it all becoming both mentally and physically challenged at every turn discovering God never leaves his side and indeed believes in him even during his darkest times. God has a unique calling on our lives and it is through Overcoming Life’s 9/11’s we are able to become more like him.

“Build up, build up, prepare the road! Remove the obstacles out of the way of my people.”
Isaiah 57:14

A Voice of One

Accomplishing God’s Special Mission for Your Life
The Second Volume of John Dillard’s Inspiration Series

You alone are uniquely positioned to achieve God’s vision for your life. A God who knows the number of the very hairs on your head has a great purpose only you can accomplish. Learn how one man, Nehemiah, made a difference in the lives of many. Seeking God’s will each and every step of the way, Nehemiah prayerfully seeks to rebuild the walls, which protect the city of Jerusalem and her people.

Nestled deep in the Bible’s Old Testament lived an ordinary man who steps out to accomplish great things in God’s name. Leaving the safety of his position as the cupbearer to the king of Babylon, Nehemiah puts himself into harm’s way exposing himself to enemies who scheme and purpose to see him fail. Overcoming each and every obstacle, Nehemiah’s destiny is to rebuild Jerusalem’s city’s walls that were essential for the nation’s very survival.

The remnant of Israel had been in exile and was beginning to return to the Promised Land only to find the land of their forefathers in disarray. Jerusalem’s city walls lay in ruin exposing her to enemies who would threaten the nation’s very existence. Following the burden God lays on his heart Nehemiah rebuilt the city’s walls in just fifty-two days. Leading the way, Nehemiah asks for assistance from those who can help him the most and prayerfully develops a team unifying them to accomplish a miraculous feat.

Prayerfully, Nehemiah sets out and quietly brings together the whole of the Jewish nation. Finding doomsayers at every turn, Nehemiah overcomes each and every obstacle and builds, brick by brick, the ramparts that will protect the city from her foes. Never deterred in his vision, Nehemiah continues developing a coalition uniting a people giving them leadership and a clear vision and ultimately rededicating the city and its people to God.

Nehemiah never falters and never sways from his mission. God has a special plan for your life and a reward at its end. We serve a God who wants only the best for you and your life. Ask and act boldly to serve and to do great things in God’s name!

“A Voice of One calling: ‘In the desert prepare the way for the LORD;
make straight in the wilderness a highway for our God’”
(Isaiah 40:3)

Atlanta CPA Firm Offers Tax Guidance to Running Your Atlanta Business

Understanding the nuances and issues affecting business owners is essential to the efficient running of a business. Below is a sample excerpt that I might receive addressing unpaid Atlanta Back Taxes, Setting up an Installment Plan with the IRS, filing of payroll tax reports and their impact on the filing and payment deadlines of corporate income tax returns. 

I am killing myself trying to get 2009 finished.  I’m not sure what the deal is with the bookkeeper but I’ve had to make a change.   I finally was able to get my payroll file yesterday only to discover they did not file 941’s for the last 3 quarters of 2009 or GA withholding for the last 2 quarters.  What a mess!  I was up late last night doing those.  Thankfully the bookkeeper had made some payments online and we are overpaid for the year on 941 tax. I am so in over my head right now trying to handle the day-to-day office stuff while catching up the accounting side.   

We may need to extend 1120S but I plan to have all to you in time to file before the April 15 deadline for our S Corporation.

Below is my response: 

Please be reminded we have two deadlines to contend with. One is the corporate return which is March 15th and is easily extended.

 The second is getting on an Installment Plan which I do not suggest we push past the thirty days from the date of the IRS notice being mailed out to you. The concern there is that we do not want to immediately void an Installment Plan if we cannot pay in full the taxes owned on the 2009, as paying your taxes current is a condition of an Installment Plan staying in place.

One of the first things that I believe would be in your best interest is to hire a payroll service to prepare all of your payroll checks, debit your account to pay and to file all of your payroll tax reports. Payroll is perhaps the most administratively burdensome issue addressing America Small Business Owners and assigning this duty to a outside payroll processor who does only this, is a wise and prudent decision. In fact, I have found that even though I am a CPA that a payroll service can process my payroll
