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.

************************
FYI

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 appeals to God through the Name of the Lord Jesus, the Son, 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 (being) 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!

Dr. William Perry is a prolific writer of outstanding books. His titles for Newburgh Press thus far are Christians Helping Christians, Christian Counseling for the 21st Century and Theology for the 21st Century. Each book is a must for every reader of solid Christian material.
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.

While this book is not lengthy you will find a delightful study of each gospel that will make you appreciate the wonderful gospel stories and love Jesus even more.

  1. It’s another stormy day down in Texas. We had 3 days of sunshine and now another 7 days of rain ahead. We were sitting in church when the torrential downpour began and everyone looked at each other and the pastor said “yes that’s rain.” After service was over, all the men retrieved the cars while the women waited in the lobby and our security guard used the big church umbrella and walked each woman to her car. It was so nice.

  2. It was a very nice day in New Jersey. Sunny and 75. I think it’s going to be like that for a little while until the real heat gets here so I will enjoy it while I can.

    Brother Bill and Kathy,

    Greetings in the Lord from Entebbe!

    Now more than ever we do need to be praying for ISRAEL as you listed in your prayer requests—to protect her sovereignty!! We still get the E-mail up-dates/mailing from Itamar Marcus-Media Watch, Calev Myers-Jerusalem Institute of Justice and Craig Hartman (they are in Israel now too) about the situation there which helps us to pray more specifically.

    Tim noted that none of these attacks happened during the Trump administration…

    Pray for you all too!


    In Christian Love,
    Tim and Jeannette Joyner

  10. Hello PB

    Good Word - really Good Word.

    Deuteronomy 6:5, And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

    Mark 12:30, And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

    I remember learning that much or most of your strength is in your mind ..... That helped me in your message 'Where the mind goes, The man will Follow'.

    Well spoken my friend ... may the Lord feed our spirit as we remain focused.

    Don't be conformed to this world ... for sure!

    Very encouraging PB

  16. Hi Pastor Perry, I pray for you and your church, that you are a mighty witness for Jesus Christ in these darkening days. We are the reflection of His light!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Hi Pastor Perry, I’m praying for you tonight from verses that I’ve never truly seen before - Psalm 144:1 - Blessed be the LORD, my rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle.
    Since you are a writer, I think this is a great verse for you too.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I agree! Training to be a marathon-runner is painful, but we endure the pain for the end result!
    1 Cor. 9:24 is a great verse for when we are enduring those trials!
