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.

IS THERE A BIBLICAL PRESCRIPTION TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN? YES! ONE AND ONLY ONE. IT'S FOUND IN 2nd CHRONICLES 7:14; "IF MY PEOPLE WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME WILL HUMBLE THEMSELVES, AND PRAY AND SEEK MY FACE, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, THEN I WILL HEAR FROM HEAVEN, AND WILL FORGIVE THEIR SINS AND HEAL THEIR LAND." 

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

A PASTOR'S DEDICATION TO A FAITHFUL WIFE

In the shadow of the parsonage
Stands a figure oft obscure.
Just behind the faithful pastor,
Is his wife devout and pure.

She is with him every moment,
Helping make his work progress,
And you can’t discount her portion
In his measure of success.

Oft behind the scene of action,
Often never seen or heard,
Yet she stands forever ready
Just to give a helping word.

It is not an active service
That her worth is really shown,
But in bearing heavy burdens
That to others are unknown.

With encouragement and vision,
She must urge God’s servant on
When the shadows are the darkest
And his courage almost gone.

With her home forever open,
And her work quite never done,
She is ever his lieutenant
In battles fought and won.

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

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!

    Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”

    Accept God’s Love through the/Sacrifice in His Son Jesus

    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.

    PRAY FOR: Jack Ovitt, Todd's Dad.

    PRAISE FOR:  Mike, Tim's brother.  Thank you so very much for praying!!!  Mike is doing remarkably well after his liver transplant!  He is actually up and walking around with assistance.  The risk of infection is still there and then they have to get him on the right dose of anti-rejection drugs.  All of this has to be worked around his diabetes.  We are so thankful for technology!  None of the wonderful means of communication that we have today were available when we first came to the mission field.  Tim was able to talk with his brother on Monday before the surgery and then immediately after he came out -- of course he doesn't remember that -- then several times again since.  Mike has to stay near the hospital for about a month after he is released so they can monitor his meds and condition.  That is when he will need Tim's assistance to get back and forth to the hospital so that Joan can have a break and also resume work.
