Men Prepare Sermons; God Prepares Men

2nd Timothy 2:15

"The proper place for a ship to be is in the water, but if the water gets into the ship, the ship will sink. The proper place for the church is in the world,

BUT IF THE 'WORLD' GETS INTO THE CHURCH,

THE CHURCH WILL GO DOWN IN DISGRACE!"

Thank you for taking the time to view our blog;we look forward to reading your comments. DVDs of our services are available upon request. We covet your prayers and friendship. In His Service and For His Glory, Pastor Bill & Kathy ...
"Now fear the Lord and serve Him with all faithfulness...But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve...But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD."-Joshua 24:14-15

Is God Calling You to be a Pastor?

The right kind of education is essential to the man who has answered God's call. No army dare send a soldier into battle without proper training. The results would be devastating, not only for the warrior, but for the war.

July 29 Our 2012 Vacation Cruise

July 29

Our 2012 Vacation Cruise to Alaska's Inside Passage




We started out on our trip from the Port of Seatle ...


... on the MS Westerdam with great expectation for adventure.  We were not disappointed.

We were blessed to be on the cruise with Dr. David Jeremiah with at least one church service per day.  We were blessed.  With 350 attenders worship and praise and time of fellowship.  Tim LaHaye was with us also and brought two morning devotions. 


The scenery was breathtaking with snow capped mountains, evergreen trees, and the blue, blue ocean was a perfect contrast for beauty.


 A visit to glacier bay was exciting to say the least.  With eagles, whales, sea otters, dolphins and seals.  A sight to behold.

The temperature ranged from the low to mid 40s.







The Indians in the area have used Totem Poles to hand down history from generation to generation.

We now have video files of our worship services posted to the Internet.

Continue to pray for us as we seek to serve the Lord here in the desert.

    Your trip looks wonderful. We have seen Alaska by motor home and dream of someday going there by cruise ship.

    I enjoy your weekly updates.

    Very refreshing to look at those pictures during our hot dry summer. (Predicted to be up to 100again this week, and only 3 inches of rain since June) Great catch of the eagle fishing.

    Yes the beauty and wonders of God's creations are truly seen on that trip.

    You both will have been renewed and refreshed as your journey happened with so many others who appreciate the love of God.

    Thank you for sharing

    I have enjoyed Tim's book.

    See you in Nov.

    Hi There! Glad you enjoyed your Alaska cruise. We lived in Ketchikan in 1977 where Ted was youth pastor at Gateway Baptist Church. We have a photo of me standing in the doorway of the totem building holding our oldest son as an infant.

    Let us know if you are up this way during the week so we can get together.
