About Us

Kristin is a Southern Georgia belle, who graduated from UGA as a veterinarian May 2010. Carter grew up in NC, went on to seminary, became an ordained pastor, and has completed his doctorate of ministry. After retiring from full-time ministry, Carter is thoroughly enjoying being a financial advisor (and volunteering on the ministry side of things). After about a month of emailing, asking questions, and going through the steps of eharmony.com, we were full of excitement and became very eager to meet one another face to face. October 25, 2009, we met and enjoyed every minute together. We had no doubt God was going to strengthen our relationship with Him as well as with one another. Carter proposed August 9, 2010 on the boat in the middle of Lake Wylie at sunset. Kristin said "Yes" after some happy tears. We got married April 2, 2011 and what an amazing beautiful day that was! God has continued to bless us throughout our marriage. On May 18, 2017, our family grew when God gave us our son, Micah. We look forward to see what He has in store for us each and every day. We are super blessed to be serving the Lord wherever we are. God is constantly surprising us with new callings!

A Blind Beggar Receives His Sight
As Jesus approached Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening. They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.” He called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” Those who led the way rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. When he came near, Jesus asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” “Lord, I want to see,” he replied. Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, praising God. When all the people saw it, they also praised God. Luke 18:35-43

Wouldn’t life be easier if we were blind beggars? Then, we would know that we needed healing, right? We would know without a doubt that we needed to see because we couldn’t.

I’m willing to bet the blind beggar knew he was blind. What about people today? Do they realize their spiritual infirmities? It is easier to see physical infirmities. So many of us have those physical infirmities, and we are praying for healing! God is the Great Physician!

But what about our spiritual infirmities…can we see those? Do we even realize that we need healing?

I’m praying that we might learn to REALLY see as Jesus Christ would have us see. To know Him, and to see HIM first.

What does it mean to see Christ? Maybe it means that we take our eyes off ourselves for a few moments and look beyond ourselves to something greater than ourselves. Maybe its about submitting, humbling ourselves to a Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Maybe it means living for Him.


Once we see Him, let’s work on personally seeing like Christ. To actually see those around us as Jesus Christ sees them. How do we know how Christ sees them? The Bible does a good job showing how Jesus Christ sees people, how he sees religious people, and how he sees those who are in need.

September: Carter's Corner

by The Robinsons
As we have been talking about Worshipping Weekly for two Sundays, I have mentioned Justin Martyr (100-165 AD), an early Christian apologist. He has a wonderful piece on early Christian worship dated around 150 AD. This gives us a picture of how the early Christians worshipped in the first century. The beauty of it is our worship is still very similar! Isn’t it beautiful that worship in its truest form has not changed much over the last 2000 years. Yes the music changes, of course, they didn’t have an organ in 150AD or any type of music that we have in our worship service…But the basic elements and form of worship hasn’t changed for 2000years! Even reformed contemporary worship still holds to the basic format of worship from 2000 years ago. Need I say… God is the same yesterday, today, tomorrow and forever and ever AMEN!

Read how Justin Martyr described worship:
Weekly worship of the Christians:

And we afterwards continually remind each other of these things. And the wealthy among us help the needy; and we always keep together; and for all things wherewith we are supplied, we bless the Maker of all through His Son Jesus Christ, and through the Holy Ghost. And on the day called Sunday, all who live in cities or in the country gather together to one place, and the memoirs of the apostles or the writings of the prophets are read, as long as time permits; then, when the reader has ceased, the president verbally instructs, and exhorts to the imitation of these good things. Then we all rise together and pray, and, as we before said, when our prayer is ended, bread and wine and water are brought, and the president in like manner offers prayers and thanksgivings, according to his ability, and the people assent, saying Amen; and there is a distribution to each, and a participation of that over which thanks have been given, and to those who are absent a portion is sent by the deacons. And they who are well to do, and willing, give what each thinks fit; and what is collected is deposited with the president, who succors the orphans and widows and those who, through sickness or any other cause, are in want, and those who are in bonds and the strangers so journing among us, and in a word takes care of all who are in need. But Sunday is the day on which we all hold our common assembly, because it is the first day on which God, having wrought a change in the darkness and matter, made the world; and Jesus Christ our Saviour on the same day rose from the dead. For He was crucified on the day before that of Saturn (Saturday); and on the day after that of Saturn, which is the day of the Sun, having appeared to His apostles and disciples, He taught them these things, which we have submitted to you also for your consideration. (from chapters 61-67 of Justin’s First Apology 150AD)
