TRANSFORMING LIVES WITH THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD SINCE 1997

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.

October 2

NOTE:  Hearing from you every two or three weeks, would let us know you want to continue receiving our newsletter.

*********************************************

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).
****************************************************************

WHY REACH OUT AND MINISTER TO MEN?

  • When a child is reached for Christ, 3.5% of the family will follow.
  • When a mother is reached for Christ, 17% of her family will follow.
  • When a father is reached for Christ, 93% of his family will follow.  (Per the Heritage Foundation)
  • THE LORD S CALLING FAITHFUL MEN TO LEAD THEIR FAMILIES!

*******************************************************
BECAUSE I KNOW IT IS TRUE!

PLEASE WELCOME CAROL AS A NEW MEMBER OF THE FAMILY OF GOD!



JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY!


*****************************************************
PRAYER REQUESTS AND PRAISE REPORTS

PRAY: The Church would not give in to the pressure from the world for spiritual correctness, (not confronting the make-believer who claims to be believers), yet they continue in their disobedience, of living like HELL! 1 John 2:19. Pray that the church would be strong, yet compassionate in their confrontation.

Pray:  Keep our police officers in your prayers as they are under attack.

Praise The Lord: Little Lilianna,who is now cancer free!

Pray for: Cindy Stacyas she prepares for ministry in Zambia.

Pray for: A.P. Todd-who is having some health issues.

Pray for: Wendy- who is dealing with cancer-

Pray for: My brother Chuck, who starts Chemo this week. Cancer has advanced to his blood and bone marrow.

Praise : Our church steeple was installed on the roof yesterday! THANK YOU LORD!

Praise: For Kathy's surgery.  It's healing nicely

Pray: For Connie who has been down with flu like symptoms.

Pray: For all who are attending the Community Christian Church, as well as all who have ever attended- The Lord Jesus knows who you are, and He knows your needs. We pray that He will meet your every need. If your need is Salvation, and you have not yet accepted the Lord's invitation to join His family of believers by being born again, I pray that today will be the day you make that decision..

Pray for my good friend, Pastor John W. that he would be encouraged in every way to continue to  PREACH THE WORD!

Please continue praying for Hope.  This 12 year old is making progress but she has a long road ahead of her.  Last week's update on her condition...
PROGRESS:
1.  Pain control-- Hope is not pain-free, but the strong meds are keeping the pain controlled.  This makes such a difference!
2.  Head control is much improved!
3.  Swallowing test- Hope finally passed, and she has been experimenting with an upgraded diet!  Eating is enjoyable again.  This is a very emotional praise for us!
4.  Weight gain - after losing approx. 20 lbs over the last 11 months, she is steadily regaining weight.
5.  Hands/Arms - over the last 3 weeks her left arm has gone from very weak to much increased strength.  Hope has been working so hard to increase her daily functional skills.
6.  New wheelchair - with a smaller, custom fit wheelchair.  Hope is now able to wheel herself around.  She is soaring with a regained sense of independence!
7.  Hope's spirit is finally coming back!  Her desire to play games, and interact with others is returning.  This specific improvement has been a huge encouragement and total joy to watch.
PLEASE KEEP PRAYING FOR:
1.  Nighttime sleep--this has gotten worse.  Drs. keep trying night med combos to cover her nerve/joint pain.
2.  Legs/Feet-- Hope's legs/feet are a paradox of deep nerve pain and completely "asleep" for the past two weeks, therapists have been trying a TRAM machine (like a medical forklift) that holds Hope securely so she can focus intensely on trying to move her legs/feet.  Progress has been painstakingly slow.
3.  Endurance-- Hope's whole family is seeing God provide in this area every day.
4.  Academics-- good Shepherd is helping the family with a private tutor.  Hope is very nervous about schoolwork, as she is still struggling with processing, etc.

Pray: that all who know Jesus as Lord and Savior would start to pay the one debt we owe for our Salvation; that is the debt of LOVE (Romans 13:8)!

Praise/Pray: for Michele Perry, who is doing well, the radiation seems to be doing it's job.

Pray for: Carol and her sister Gail, who is very ill with cancer.  Pray that Gail,  would accept Jesus as Savior.

Praise the Lord for Carol's Salvation! We are rejoicing with the Angels in Heaven. 

Pray for: Carol's grandson, and her family.

Praise the Lord: As A.P. Todd continues to grow in the Lord

Pray: That all men who are called into the pastorate would know the need to study to gain advanced Training for a deeper and broader  understanding of the HolBible (2 Timothy 2:15)

Pray for: Pastor Bill as he teaches God's Word (1 Timothy 2:2). Also that the congregation would continue to love and encourage one another ( John 13:34).

THE PLAN OF SALVATION (NKJV)

 Admit You Are a Sinner in Need of Saving
•James 2:10 “For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles on one (point), he has become guilty of all.”

•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.”

It may not be easy to give up your old sinful ways, and turn in faith to Jesus Christ; but it is the only way to  SALVATION,  AND IT IS WORTH IT! 

 CALL UPON (THE FULLNESS OF) THE NAME OF JESUS AND YOU WILL BE SAVED!
