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 to repentance! Through Obedience to following Jesus Christ as Lord. All other roads lead to hell and destruction (John 8:32).

HOMEWARD BOUND


The Big Sky Country- WOW! Nice Ranch. Stopped by for a few hours with Carl.



We soon found out why the grass was so green


The weather moved in on us really fast



We could hardly see the road

 

Into Colorado



An Armed Forces Memorial at a rest area



Headed for New Mexico



And into New Mexico at Raton (Rat) Pass


Nice New Mexico Ranch, not as green as Montana, but nice


On and on goes the New Mexico Highway


Yea! Our Home State, after a little over 6,000 miles around this Great Nation

We knew we had arrived when we seen this wall picture in our Motel room.

And even more so as we saw the smoke on the mountain. 

But it is good to be home!!


But...

We did bring home a cracked windshield.
We were hit by rocks on both sides. 



All Fixed!  Good as new!

  1. At church today the Gospel was Luke 10: 1 - 23,. The lesson was that evil in the world is real and Christians who proclaim the message of Christ will be opposed. I've oversimplified it there, of course. But Truth is rarely popular.

  2. We had a very nice morning at church today as well. The student pastor did the message while our pastor played the drums in the band today! He played really well. I didn't even know he could play. But the student pastor was awesome. He was very well spoken and enthusiastic. I enjoyed listening to him.

    I pray that we in America never abandon Israel. I know we have political battles but may the Lord have dominion in our nation and may He save us from.... ourselves.
    This PC culture is nuts alot like Rome.... gods many........
    You are spot on about our examining ourselves..
    terrorists are not victims but victimizers
    Freedom : dying on our feet rather than living on our knees!
    I think the duration of this nation is up to us..... and we ought to wake up and have the Lord God of Hosts turn us again........
    Appreciate you Brother
