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).

PRAYER REQUESTS AND PRAISE REPORTS
PRAY: The Church would not give in to the pressure from the world for Spiritual Correctness, (that is, not confronting the make-believer who claims to be believers), yet they continue in their disobedience, as if the Lord has given them a License to Sin! (1 John 2:19). Pray that the Church would be Strong, yet compassionate in their confrontation.
Pray for: OUR PRESIDENT and VICE PRESIDENT, as they take their posts, THEY NEED OUR PRAYERS!!
Pray for: "The Gospel in the Stars".
Pray for: Sandy Wilcox, as she is dealing with some health problems.
Pray for: our son Eric A Couple more tests came back. -white blood cell count (low) --in the spinal fluid everything was good with one exception... **a very high amount of protein** A typical measurement is 60 and Eric's is up in the 200s. The neurologist is a bit baffled but is waiting for additional tests to come in. He also thinks, because Eric's vision and hearing haven't gotten worse over the last 3 weeks that maybe he had an infection that caused all this and is now gone.
If the remaining tests come back fine, the doctor wants him to see an infectious disease doctor to see if they can find something...
This is turning into a Dr. House episode.
We thank you for your continued prayers.
Pray for: Pastor John Whitaker who is recovering from foot surgery. Also, Pastor John has seen the need for additional study, is starting his continuing education.
Pray for: Our police officers.
Pray for: 12 year old Hope. Please continue to pray. Her therapy and school tutoring are now being done outside the home. The pain and sleepless nights are still a big issue. The medication that caused so many of the issues should be running out of it's effect soon. Pray that her body can continue to heal.
Pray that: 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 that: all who know Jesus as Lord and Savior would start to live as if they do, and will be willing to pay the one debt we owe for our Salvation; that is the debt of LOVE (Romans 13:8)!
Pray: That all men who are called into the pastorate would know the need to study to gain advanced Training into a deeper and broader understanding of the Holy Bible (2 Timothy 2:15)
Pray for: Pastor Bill as he teaches God's Word (1 Timothy 2:2). Also that the congregation would encourage him, and continue to love and encourage one another ( John 13:34).

I am going to be calling the doc on Monday to see what the next steps are. I have been taking vitamin B12 every day over the last week.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the prayers
May we still get the DVD of the Four Angels Set Loose and The Mighty Angel?
ReplyDeleteLoved your letters, will write tomorrow.
We do enjoy hearing your sermons. Thank you very much.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a nice Sunday! Kiley had a friend from school spend the night Saturday. We went to the late church service today. The girls felt called to lead so they went to the preschool area and volunteered to teach while Ronnie and I went to the worship service. I was proud of them for going on their own and taking the initiative to ask if they could volunteer. It was a nice church service...story of Lazarus raising from the dead.
ReplyDeleteHow's Eric doing? I saw in the blog it was the same note in the prayer requests. I wasn't sure if there was an update.
Have a good week!
Another great message I can share with the hands and family- Man, this winter is starting to get long! We still have 3 more months, but, trust me, your church service, that we make our church service helps a lot.
ReplyDeleteAll kidding aside, we LOVE your teaching, and pray for you, your wife and your ministry.
Another winter storm heading our way, but, as we are told, "Spring is just around the corner." Another winner, great job, love this teaching. Lord Bless you all.
ReplyDeleteThank You PB
ReplyDeleteI am starting school today and a wee bit overwhelmed with the computer work to find my way around - Your kind words are a blessing. Please know you are appreciated.
Hello PB,
ReplyDeleteWhat a week and it is only Tuesday night. This online school is much more confusing than the brick and mortar classes I am used to..... this too will pass...:-)
Practical Sanctification - That is a great way to look at it! Being used for God has been my hearts desire.... remember that old chorus - Make Me What I Ought To Be .... To Be Like Jesus. .... That will take yielding to the literal definition. On that Scripture you used where Present is used (Romans 12:1) it makes our responsibility far more than passive.
Your story of the little girl makes me wonder why so many church members fall out when we see so few carnal folks fall in ......
We truly are blessed PB to think with a sound mind ..... having confusion put out as soundness entered. Freedom is not the privilege to do what you want but the responsibility to do what we ought.
Thank You for The Word PB - Enjoy being blessed and a blessing to others.
