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!

Look for Pastor Bill's latest book 
Now Available through Amazon.com.
Click here to order.

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.
To God be the glory!

  2. Evening Pastor,
    I'm glad Eric seemed comfortable, and that he's right where he needs to be for monitoring and any help he needs.
    Try to have a restful night.

  3. Thanks for the update. Cautiously optimistic they have things under control - praying they can stabilize the electrolytes. I hadn’t realized his kidneys were in trouble, when I was in NJ, I was under the impression that he had kidney problems, but with medical treatment they were improving.

    Will keep praying.

  4. Praying for Eric. Keep us posted on how he’s doing. I really hope the doctors can finally figure out what‘s going on.

    Praying for you both as well. Hope you’re getting rest.

    We continue to pray.

    unaware of it.

    Thank You for sharing

  10. It's good to finally have some concrete idea of what's going on with Eric. Yes, the team there must be competent.
    And God is infinitely competent.
    Praying for Eric and you and absolutely expecting great things!

  11. I’m glad you had a good visit with Eric. I hope Chris is able to come out and visit his dad. It would be really good for Eric to be able to spend time with his son.

    We will continue to pray that he continues to improve and the main thing that doctors can figure out what is going on.

    We love you both. Praying for you too because I know it must be a lot on you both emotionally as well to have to see him go through this.

    The poor boy, I feel so bad for him and for y’all too. It’s hard to see your kid suffering and you can’t help him. He has so many major issues. At least they seem to be making a little headway with his other issues too. We will increase our prayers. Miracles happen every day. Take care. Please keep me posted. Thanks
