What Kind of Dirt Are You?
Has there ever been an occasion when someone referred to you as being lower than dirt? Well, if they did, that was a nasty thing to say (No pun intended) but that statement is virtually true of each of us. Genesis 2:7 tells us that mankind was formed from the dust of the earth. Yep, like it or not each of us are composed of dirt. With that in mind, I’d like for us to conduct a soil test to see what kind of dirt you might be.
In to the text that prefaces this post, Jesus speaks of one who sows seed. The seed spoken of is the gospel. I’m going to assume that each one reading this as been blessed to hear a multitude of the gospel. So the seed has been sown, there’s no question about that. The question remains… What kind of dirt has that seed landed upon? You’ll need to be honest with yourself as you read on. Just what kind of dirt are you?
Whatever your findings are, I pray that you will each strive to move toward fertile soil. Allow the truth of the gospel to take root in you and therefore serve as a reflection of the One who has changed you forever!

Chris began singing in front of people at the age of nine, when he stepped onto the platform at People’s Church, in Burlington, North Carolina, to sing “Holy Is Thy Nameâ€. From that moment, his heart’s desire was to sing Gospel Music to as many people as possible. In 1990, Chris had his first opportunity to sing professionally, when he became the original tenor for a newly-formed group called Greater Vision. Chris would remain with the group for five years, before launching out into a Solo Ministry for the next seven years.
In 2003, Chris became the Pastor of a new church plant in his hometown of Burlington, known as “The Church At Burlingtonâ€, where he would serve as Pastor for the next eight years. Under Chris’ pastorate, the church grew from the original 6 members to more than 250. In April of 2010, Chris left the pastorate to return to full-time Music Ministry, coming full-circle to rejoin the group he had left 15 years earlier.
Chris is one of Gospel Music’s most talented Tenors, and he is also a prolific songwriter.
Chris is married to Kimberly Allman, and they have four children; Dustin, Jillian, Emory, and Jules, as well as a daughter-in-law, Dustin’s wife, Amanda. Chris and Kimberly reside in Morristown, TN and are members of the First Baptist Church there.
