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." 

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!

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

             "AT CALVARY" IT WAS ALL TAKEN CARE OF


    OURSELVES AND ALL WE ARE 
  ARE THE SACRIFICE WE BRING

  THE TRUTH ABOUT DIVORCE



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!"

BREAKFAST AT THE CHURCH - FEBRUARY 16th

************************
The Saga of a Local Church
And Four of Its Members:
Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, & Nobody

Each time there was a job to be done
Everybody was asked to do it.

Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.

Somebody got angry about that,
Because it was Everybody’s job.

Everybody thought Anybody could do it,
But Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it.

Consequently, it wound up that Nobody told Anybody,
So, Everybody blamed Somebody.

PRAY FOR:  Tracy's update: I had my post op appointment yesterday (2/26). They took out the stitches and staples and took x-rays and put on a new cast. I go back on the 16th for more x-rays and hopefully will get a walking cast and be able to go back to work.

PRAY FOR:  OUR PRESIDENT and VICE PRESIDENT.  

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 all owe for our Salvation; that is the debt of LOVE to the Lord Jesus (Romans 13:8)! 

PRAY FOR ALL CONCERNED: As Pastor Bill teaches God's Word (1 Timothy 2:2). As he teaches the Truth of God's word, and rebukes all false gospel. Pray that many would respond to the Truth of God's Word in love and truth.

SALVATION: Not only to Eternity in Heaven, but from Eternity in Hell! You MUST, first of all: Humble yourself and 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!

    I am happy to endorse Dr. Perry’s latest treasure, “A Journey Through The Gospels.” Every student and preacher/teacher of the Bible needs this book for the desk or the bedside table. You will enjoy reading insights and valuable lessons that many casual readers of the Bible will miss.

    1. Pastor Bill, I am more than just a little interested in this subject, DIVORCE!
      One of my hands pastored a church until his wife ran off, and, from what I've heard, all was ok until she filed for divorce- and the church fired him. He lost his wife, his kids, his job and his home, all because of what someone else did. Not an easy thing to understand, or forget.

      A good timely teaching from the Word of God, and not just the thoughts of man.

      Looking forward to where you are going with this. Love your way of completeness in your teaching.

      I was shunned by the women, and hit on by every man in church after my divorce. I didn't understand- It was when I needed help the most. Tell me more.

    4. Hello PB

      Divorce - understood by few... Amen to that. What matters on the
      subject? 3 things ... 1. Thus saith The Lord 2. It is written 3.
      Have you not read God hates divorce.

      Your teaching was so refreshing on the subject PB, and I am refreshed to
      hear it. God's Word is so very straight forward. Great Word.

      I know a number of people who have been divorced- and a few of them did get a raw deal. my opinion. It needs to be brought up. I believe that many today don't get married because they don't want to face the possibility of a divorce.
