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

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!

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

THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN IS JESUS CHRIST!


WE MUST FEED THE NEW NATURE
THE WORD OF GOD

PRAYER REQUESTS AND PRAISE REPORTS

Pray for: JP and his parents.  Pray from Pastor Bob who is Interim Pastor at the church where Dallas and Carrie King attend in Minnesota.  

Pray for: My brother Chuck who is back in the hospital battling cancer.

Continue to Pray for: Sixteen year old boy we've been praying for, Christopher, he made it through the first surgery ok, but had to have a second surgery to stop bleeding.  He is now having to relearn some of his motor skills.

Pray & Praise for 14 year old Hope:  Thank you for your prayers for Hope!!  God is answering!  Last week Hope we received the following praises!  She is doing GREAT with her walking!  What a THRILL to watch her!  She is working hard and is VERY motivated!  She is starting some pool therapy this week to help loosen and strengthen her ankles, feet, and overall range of motion.  She is able to go up and down stairs now.  She is making great progress and loves being back with all her friends at school.  She is doing well academically, also.  Her parents are so thankful for all those who are helping to make this possible!  Their hearts are overflowing with thankfulness to the Lord for the great work that He is doing in her life!

Pray for: The many in and around Valley Farms who do not know the Lord as their Lord and Savior,

Pray for Chum Darcy and his family:  Chum has non small cell adenocarcinoma lung cancer.  He had an oncology appointment Friday and they are setting him up with a Pet Scan and CT to see if the cancer is anywhere else.  Thanks for your prayers.

Pray for Our son Eric:  Eric went to the neuro-opthemologist and they re-stated that he has papladema.  They wrote some scripts for 2 MRI's.  One for the sinuses in the brain area and another brain MRI.  After those 2 MRI's, she had suggested another spinal tap.  He was also to see an ENT for ringing in the ears which may be due to the optic nerve issue.  He was also to have an auditory exam to check his ears.  This week he has another appointment for a second opinion with a different Neurologist.  Please keep him in your prayers.

Pray for: The many in our families and in our community who are caught up in the cult of MormonismPray their eyes would be opened to the truth of the True Christ. That Christians would see the area in and around Valley Farms as a wide open MISSION FIELD.

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! HE HAS NOT! (1 John 2:19). Pray that the Church would be Strong,  yet compassionate in their confrontation.

Pray for: Carol Adams who is going through some trying times!

Pray for:  OUR PRESIDENT and VICE PRESIDENT,  THEY NEED OUR PRAYERS!!  

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 HolBible (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).

•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!

  11. I’m a big Brad Paisley fan, and the other day I was listening to one of his albums. Typical Brad music throughout, but at the end, he does this rendition of “When we all get to Heaven” (might have had Vince Gill as a guest). Made me think of all of this. Sure will be nice when we get to the other side, and be rid of the pain and suffering forever.

  12. Stupid cancer! Elza is having surgery today. He has had cancer for quite awhile but then his gallbladder turned bad. They put off surgery but now he's got infection even into his pancreas. Stopping the chemo has let the cancer cells increase so no other option. They give him 50-50 to make it through. Thanks for the update on Chuck. Lots of prayers for them both !

  13. Hello PB,

    Good Word to keep us focused on what matters. It is not who we are but Whose we are that matters.

    I agree the new nature will not commit sin it cannot. Now, if we could just yield to the Lord - the lordship of our old nature ... Being thankful for God's gift of repentance - we can take care of all that offends in the Lord. Thank You Lord for the deliverance only you can give.

    Be blessed in all you do PB,
