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.

PRAYER REQUESTS AND PRAISE REPORTS


Pray for:  Pastor Bill as he has an appointment with a doctor this week.

Pray for: Our annual ministry circuit as we will be traveling through the country meeting face to face with our ministry partners.

Prayer and Praise: For George and Valerie Martinez that their health is improving, and that it will continue to improve.

Pray for: Our Missionaries, as they labor for the Lord.

Pray that: It would be understood, that alone, as an individual, you are not the Church, not Until We, as Believers, Gather Together in His Name, as a Congregation, do we become a Church; the Bride of Christ! COME TO CHURCH! Hebrews 10: 24-25.

Praise for: The fear has subsided in our land; in our nation, state and city, as our trust once again is turned to the God of all creation.  FEAR NOT!  For I am with you says the Lord God! 

PRAY FOR: The many that are unsaved, in and around Valley Farms. Rebuke, and hold back the ungodly cult of Mormonism. These people who have turned their backs on the true Jesus, and there-fore are by no means saved, but are on their way to an Eternity in HELL!

PRAY FOR: Salvation 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 gospels. Pray that many would respond to the Truth of God's Word in love and truth.

************************
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:

* Mark 1:15 "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel."

•James 2:10 “For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in 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 “solemnly testifying to both Jews and Greeks of repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Trust the Fullness Jesus Christ!
•Romans 10:9 “that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;"

•Romans 10:13 “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

•Romans 10:14 “How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher?"

•Romans 10:17 “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ."

•Jeremiah 29:13 “You will seek Me (God) and find Me when you search for 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!

CHRISTIAN RESOURCES AVAILABLE

These  books are available at online through  Barnes and Noble, and Amazon.com, also check at your local book store.

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. A really thought provoking message Pastor Bill. I have always questioned this "easy" believeism. But I believe you need to elaborate on this a little. Very intensive. I will be viewing this one a few times I'm sure.

    WOW! All I can say is wow! I will be watching this through again, to try to figure out what you are saying. I do love your teaching; this one took me by surprise.

Tank you for being true to the Bible. And yes, I get it, and I have repented and I surly do believe in Jesus. Good solid doctrine. AMEN'

    Good message, I think- you do a good job of following the Bible as you talk, so you must be rite. But I do want to go through this one more time. Some are saying no, I am going to try to get them to watch it together another time, Sounds good to me.

    I went over this 3 times now and I think I got it, but some still say they don't,
    I think it goes like this. We don't have to ask, we must know we are sinners, and know that we want to be saved, and now only confess what we know as our sins. Now we learn, and in God's timing, He saves us. Not in our timing, but the Lord's timing. It took me a long time but Ya that is I believe it! Thank you Pastor.

  13. I do not think I get this at all!! We are told only to call upon the name of Jesus and we will be saved, but we must call. How can you say otherwise? I did like your teaching but you have strayed.

    ReplyDelete
  14. OK, I have to look at this again- I'll be back.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Thank you, I am learning more each day. I'm sure I will be going over this more. But keep them coming. Blessings.

  16. Hello PB

    Good Word and well said ... infant baptism and that sinner's prayer can
    take one easily off course ... far off course.

    False teaching is a pretty good obstacle we need to overcome. It seems
    it comes in many variations but it is still all false doctrine.

    PB, That was a message that needed to be preached and still needs to be
    preached ...

    You are spot on when you blame the pulpits ... to many preachers are
    preaching ... I think ... I think doesn't matter when it is put up
    against ... Thus Saith the Lord!

    Thank You for the good good Word.

    pj
