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.

PROFANITY


 ROMANS 3:14"THEIR MOUTHS ARE FULL OF CURSING AND BITTERNESS."


I swear because –

          It is a fine mark of manliness
          It proves I have self-control
          It indicates how clearly my mind operates
          It makes my conversation pleasing to everyone
  It leaves no doubt in anyone’s mind as to my good 
  breeding, culture and refinement.
  It impresses people—that I have more than ordinary 
  education
  It makes me a very desirable personality among women       and children and in respectable society
  It is my way of honoring God who said, “Thou shalt not       take the name of the Lord Thy God in vain.”
  And---it is a strong way to address a weak mind!

COMMENT FROM AN INTERNET CONTRIBUTOR: "HEY PASTOR BILL, YOU SOUND LIKE YOU HAVE AN AGENDA WHEN YOU PREACH!"  

YOU BET I DO!  (BUT ONLY ONE) To teach the Truth! To teach that all roads do not lead to Heaven. Only the narrow road, that leads through Jesus Christ. All other roads lead to hell and destruction (John 8:32).

    I love your teaching, and am getting a lot out of it, but I don't understand your pictures. Why would they put two 12' culverts running under a road,to handle the water, in a desert area, do you get that much rain?

  7. I have been looking for your new book, but have not been able to see it where I am looking.
    I do like the study of the Bible- Revelation is a mystery to me, I look at it, and get confused- I am praying I will learn from your teaching.

    I believe the Apostle Paul was a very educated may, and gave up a lot of earthly comforts for the sake of the Lord Jesus. Thanks for your sharing "How can the know without a Preacher" Thank you Preacher.
