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.

Pastor’s 

Corner
BIBLE STUDY:

As we get involved with attempting to read, or study our Bible, there are two very important viewpoints to be aware of, and ponder.  One consideration is to study the Bible mostly as an indictment of the human race.  In other words, as we are, sinful rebels, who are bent on finding life apart from God.  The other is to study scripture as an invitation from a loving God.  Yes, we are sinners who have turned away from our creator God and His design for our lives.  (Romans 3:23)  Yes, we’ve rebelled, but God longs to forgive and restore us, the main reason; so we can declare to the world His Story of rescue and renewal.  1 John 1:9, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us of all unrighteousness.”  Amen’
*****************************************************

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." 

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

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!

    SALVATIONNot only to Eternity in Heaven, but From Eternity in Hell! You MUST, first of all; Admit You Are a Sinner in Need of a Savior:

    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!

    1. Good evening,

      I hope the meeting went well though I have little doubt that it did. Thank you for the prayers; I have felt pretty good today and was able to attend church nearby and spend some time in my shop preparing for a large project I have coming up. I am tentatively planning on venturing down to your church next Sunday.

      Have a blessed week ahead.

    2. I hope your church business meeting went well. Another good message on Romans and I was surprised, but not surprised to see how Romans and Revelation tie together. God is GREAT! Thanks Pastor Bill.

      The year is going by slowly this year, strange weather- cold one week ans springtime the next, oh well. Thanks again for the good teaching, good words.
      We continue to pray for you Pastor.

    4. Hello PB
      I could not agree more that all Scripture is pertinent and I also do not enjoy people taking the pieces out that they do not appreciate or tolerate!

      2 Timothy 3:16 helped me dearly to learn that.

      Did you to say that the Gentiles in the N.T. (church) are not to receive the blessing of the Jews in the O.T. or did I misunderstand that? Acts 10:34-35,& 15:8 Thank you for sharing with me - I do hope you know I am not arguing with your message - just seeking clarity.

    7. I'm glad the Christian walk is sort of like the movie Groundhog Day in which the same day plays out again and again...in the sense that His mercies are new each morning!
