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.

Mercy Beyond Measure!

At times we are prone to wrong someone, and when we do, it is normal for us to back off and become distant in our shame. We might imagine that the person we offended is replaying our thoughtless conduct over and over. It could happen in human relationships, but If we imagine God to be this way, we would be severely mistaken.

Luke 15:12 recounts the story of a prodigal son as he asked his father for his portion of his inheritance, now. He made this request while his father was still in good health. The father “agreed to divide his wealth between his sons”.

You recall, the son ran to the “far country” and wasted all that his father had given him. A famine came, and the son was destitute. He now made his way back to his father with a groveling speech prepared. But the father had been waiting and watching for the son! As he got a glimpse of his boy coming home, he ran toward him, embraced him, and  forgive him.

To some, the father’s actions would be seen as foolish. But this good father (like our heavenly Father) had no ego to protect. The Father’s mercy is free.

What an example for ALL fathers, to be willing to extend love and mercy and forgiveness freely toward our children.

1 John 1:9. “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and cleanse us of all unrighteous.”

“Can you be a follower of Jesus, and NOT follow Jesus?  AND, If you’re NOT a follower of Christ, are you a Christian?

    Good evening Pastor Bill.
    I assume that the lady playing the piano is your wife. I also play the piano – almost every Sunday in Church. Melton does not play guitar but he does have one and is going to take lessons when we retire.
    God Bless
