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.

THE COOLIDGE STORM OF August 8, 2015

100_3522   100_3517

Coming from Valley Farms, we stopped and watched this powerful storm pass through. Packing up to 80 mph winds, and a deluge of rain. It moved from South-west to North-east.

100_3533

Lasting about and hour, doing some serious damage to some houses in the North section of Coolidge. After about an hour, the Sun came out- leaving sparkling clean air. Praise the Lord for His Wonders.

  3. The storm looks, and sounds like it was pretty bad, I will be praying for the victims of the storm (if any).
    Continue your teaching us God's word.

  4. Great lesson PB, Thank You for your serious teaching on the apostate church. I have shared some of this with those I teach Bible Studies with - it always amazes me that tradition over rides what Thus Saith The Lord!
    keep up the great work.
