About

Hello, my given name is Roderick Alan Linden Phillips, but most people call me Rod – I’m the one on the left!

I am married to a wonderful and beautiful wife, Elia and we are anticipating our 20th Anniversary in July of 2009 – How time flies! I have four children between the ages of 8 and 16.

I live in Hayward, California and serve as Senior Pastor at Castro Valley First Baptist Church.

    Thought I’d visit my first blog, so you’ll be wearing a yellow bow tie next Sunday? Remind us where Yankeerev came from?

    In response to D Martin Lloyd-Jones…I just finished cleaning and organizing Pastor Randy’s library while he is in Costa Rica. He’s always talking about DMLJ also and he has a two volume biography on him by Inia H Murray that I was thinking about seeing if I could borrow for a read. I put all of his bio’s on one shelf and titled it “The Dead Guys.” That’s what he calls his bio’s.
    When are we going to see some pictures and comments about the kids? I like you but…Elia and the kids are kinda cool themselves.
    See ya, Linda

    Great blog. I’ve visited before, but don’t think I’ve ever commented. I just wanted to say that I always appreciate your thoughtful, biblical meditations.

    Hi, Pastor Rod.

    It was nice that mom and I could run into you at Panera.

    Thanks for all of the messages at CV First. I really appreciate all of the spiritual growth that I have experienced through the messages at church.

    Sincerely,

    Clara
