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!

PRAY FOR: The Church  TO NOT give in to the pressure from the world for Spiritual Correctness, ( and we would confront the make-believer who claims to be believers with the Gospel of Jesus Christ),. the Lord has not given a License to Sin!

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)

     Admit You Are a Sinner in Need of a Savior:

    •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!

    2. About 30 yrs ago, my husband and I lived in Loveland Co. we belonged to a
      nondenominational church. We had a guest speaker who shared the Word of God which we knew from that moment on our life would never be the same. We started on a life long adventure with Jesus, who would introduce us to dying to our flesh daily, to put to death the deeds of the flesh and choose to walk in the Fruit of the Spirit!

      The Word has drawn us into a deeper more intimate relationship with our Lord and Savior,our adventure with Him has led us onto the Narrow Pathway to His Ways and His Salvation as we overcome the death of our flesh, few be that find it.

      We thought that you and your wife might be interested. Blessings to you both.
      Love in Christ

    5. Hi PB
      Your message could not have been any clearer! Praise God!
      All over your message the Scriptures you spoke of used the two letter qualifier - if.

      Only God can make us a new creature and I am so thankful for His mercy and pardon - Isaiah 55:7.

      Turn us again (1) Turn us again (2) Turn us again(3) times in Psalm 80 and it echoes in your message. May we be yielding as Jacob that we can become Israel as well.

      Thank You for sharing

      Pastor Bill, you have a way of saying what we already know, and letting us know what we know is true. I'm sure this could be said better, so I'll just sat thank you.
