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.

October 14

Remember: As Christians, we are Constrained by the Truth of Scripture!

Truth is always Truth, from Eternity past, through Eternity Future.

SO REMEMBER! If it's True, it's NOT NEW- If it's New it's NOT TRUE! 

******************************************************************************
FYI:  The Ramp is done, with the exception of the left handrail which will be put on soon.

NICE JOB Donnie and Oscar!

A Quote Worth Reading

“Bad men cannot make good citizens. It is when a people forget God that tyrants forge their chains. A vitiated state of morals, a corrupted public conscience, is incompatible with freedom. No free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality, and virtue; and by a frequent recurrence to fundamental principles.”

~Patrick Henry
***********************************
Responsibility of the Senior Pastor

As the Senior Pastor of this church, called by God to oversee His Church in Valley Farms, it is my responsibility from God to seek the meekness of humility in obedience to Him as I care for, His little flock; To be God honoring; Saint loving; Reaching out to the lost; While Teaching His Word Without Compromise.

A POWERFUL TRUTH:
The Word of God is alive and Powerful! When truly heard, this Word will awaken the spiritually dead.  His Word, when accepted as truth; will save men from their sin, therefore... “How can they hear without a preacher?” – Romans 10: 13-15.

Should you have any questions, feel free to talk with me.

Pastor’s Corner

By: Pastor William Perry- Community Christian Church 


 CALLING THE BIBLICAL PASTOR




As we consider the Biblical calling of a Pastor, we should understand that he is not called to be a vision-castor, nor is he called to create a bunch of "stuff" for the people to do, and then badger them into doing it. And it is also not his calling to grow the church numerically. Those are all methods developed by the world of business, the purpose; to make money, and most often by men and women who do not even know the Lord. Why has the Church in so many places carved into stone these un-biblical ideas into the job description of the pastorate? 

But truly, a pastor is to feed God's people the Word of God, to point them to Jesus in all things, and to equip them for ministry into which the Lord Himself will call them. It is Jesus who builds His Church, and, at His discretion.

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

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." 

THE ANSWER IS: TURN BACK TO THE LORD GOD-TO FAITH-FAMILY! 


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!

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

HE IS ABLE!




ANGUISH IS IN STORE FOR THE WORLD!


As a pastor, as a minister called by God, I am to trust Him, to believe Him, to teach His Word; the Bible in all Meekness, with Humility, yet, Boldly preach that every Word in the Bible is true; not merely only what I may want to be true; but, that every word is true; and teach it without compromise!
"How can they hear without a Preacher!"

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 claim to  know Jesus as Lord and Savior would start to live as if He is Real in their lives, 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 understand the need to separate themselves from the sins of the world, to study to gain advanced Training into a deeper and broader understanding of the LORD JESUS CHRIST & the HolBible (2 Timothy 2:15)

PRAY FOR HUMILITY: As Pastor Bill 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).

PRAY FOR: Our Church BOLDLY continue Teaching God's Word Without Compromise.

SALVATION:  Not only to Eternity in Heaven, but from Eternity in Hell!  You MUST, first of all:  Admit You Are a Sinner in Need o

f 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!

    4. Hello PB

      I am running late again this week - sorry.

      Your reminder not to get caught up in this world is needed consistently today - Even our election system is so sick - Laverne and I have been buried with requests for money to get this one and that one elected. If I did not know God I would begin to think that we have to buy an election to get a candidate worthy of office.

      I believe as you said, judge sin now or it will meet us at the judgment seat.
      1 Corinthians 11:31-32 - Thank You Jesus

      Thank You for the reminder that the Lord doesn't spank the devil's children.

      PB, something you wrote on your sight was so familiar to me it hurt all over again. You stated that Todd without counsel quit his seminary studies. It was the without counsel part of that statement that I see so often that it hurts. Many have been those who choose to stop coming to services and move to Bismarck without saying a word until they are going out the door - never seeking counsel but doing always what is best for themselves they tell me ..... It is difficult to grow the church up when unlike Paul or You or Me, who have not arrived yet - these folks feel they have, and no counsel is needed.

      I have learned in my short life: 1. Counsel costs 2. No counsel costs more
      3. Counsel ignored costs the most.

      Keep on Keeping On PB.... for in due time ......

      Your Friend pj
