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.

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).

•Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
•Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Accept God’s Love through the/Sacrifice in His Son Jesus
•Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

Turn to God in Repentance
•Acts 20:21 “I have declared to both Jews and Greeks that they must turn to God in repentance and have faith in our Lord Jesus.”

Trust the Fullness Jesus Christ!
•Romans 10:9 “…if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved;”
•Romans 10:13 “For whoever calls on the Name of the Lord shall be saved.”
•Romans 10:14 “How then shall they call on Him Who they have not believed?  And how shall they believe in Him of Whom they have not heard?  And how shall they hear without a preacher? 
•Romans 10:17 “So then Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.”
•Jeremiah 29:13 “You will seek Me (God) and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart.”

  7. We're probably going to do something with Ayla (and local camp) for the
    fireworks and celebration.

    It's great to celebrate our independence (and now England has pulled
    themselves out of the EU, interestingly enough). Patriotic wise, it's
    hard to feel that with (a) Obama's nonsense for the last 8 years, and
    (b) an official criminal that's above the law inches away from taking
    the white house. Any other American that pulled the stunts she did,
    would be in prison. The alternative, not much better, but his
    shenanigans and lack of popularity is killing his chances of winning
    this thing anyways. It's bad enough that hillary drops below 50% in the
    polls, yet still has the upper hand. I don't get it. How did we ever get
    here as a nation?

    We need another Reagan IMHO, clean out Washington and start over.
    Corrupt to the core.

    Ok, so I digress -- hard not to be utterly confused and sickened by
    this...

    Anyways, Happy 4th of July, enjoy that sunny warm weather!!

    Love from us to you all

  8. Always a good Word and we so enjoyed your visit with us.
    Thank You for the pictures also .... Again, thank You Both for being our guests.

  9. July ...Officially the half way mark. Doing good. We are looking to go to a ball game on the 4th. They usually have a front row to some pretty nice fireworks. It should be fun. We just had a Florida style rain. Poured for about 10 minutes and now the sun is back out I'll take it. Grass will grow about 5 inches tonight but at least it will turn green again. Any jet lag since you returned home. Mine is fading. The last day of traveling was tough but I am glad I did it. Next time I need to take some pictures.
