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.

  1. Such great news! Praise God for their salvation.

    We had a really good message yesterday that reminded me so much of everything you've preached to us about false prophets. It was on Matthew 16:5-12 about understanding Leaven and "Guarding Your Heart."

    It was good timing because on Friday we had a church on my show (they paid to be on as a paid client) to talk about their Grand Opening. Ronnie and I went to get gumbo the other day and drove by the church. It's way too big...
    and then we drove by their former location. It's sad to see how big its become. Apparently it began in their home and then grew...but now it looks like a mansion...like it's more about the building and finances than about the message. When we had them on, another girl I work with whose father is a pastor said she was disturbed they would pay so much to be on tv and I agreed with her. Then we both said "I wonder if they even went to seminary or studied the bible." Have you heard of the podcast "The Rise and Fall of Mass Hill" ...that was one of the examples our pastor gave as "false prophets."

    Anyway, it was such a good message. I love how much our pastor quotes from the bible in his messages. I'm glad we found such a good church home here and we didn't get sucked into those mega churches. It's sad how many of them are here.

    Love you,
    Jenny

  2. I do love taking notes during the sermon! It helps when you find a good pastor. And the good ones like you Dad are hard to find. I do believe God led me straight to that church for a reason!

    Love you both
