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:  Missionary Dheidrick Hobbs and his wife Joetta as they begin to minister in the Navajo Nation in Arizona.  
The Hobbs Family is being sent out of Strong Hold Baptist Church in Pinon, AZ. The Hobbs were both born and raised on the Reservation. Dheidrick is a graduate of Ganado Baptist Bible College and was trained under the ministry of the Haynes Family. The Hobbs and the Haynes are currently partnering to secure a land site lease from the tribe in Chinle, AZ where Dheidrick and Joetta believe God is sending them to start their first church plant. Navajoland Baptist Missions recommends the Hobbs to you for support as full-time missionary church planters. They are scheduling meetings for full-time deputation in the Fall of 2023. You may reach Dheidrick Hobbs to schedule a deputation meeting at thehobbs19@outlook.com or (928) 693-5835.

Pray for: Jerry and Cheryl Turner, Missionaries, as they prepare to head for the Ukraine in June 2024.

Pray for: Israel, as she responds to the vicious attack on October 7th by this terrorist HAMAS, pray for the many military men and women as well as for the civilians, including women and children who were taken hostage by this terrorist group of thugs. Pray for the families of the many fallen on both sides. Pray that the world will fully support Israel; Pray for the peace of Israel.

Pray for: Greg and Vicky Kaiser. their son Dustin and his wife, and daughter Angel, as well as their younger son Daniel.
 
Pray for: Our grandchildren, John and Ayla and their children, as they relocate to the Nashville, TN area.

Pray for: Pastor Bill and his wife Kathy as they set out on a new adventure the Lord has called them to.

Pray for:  Pastor Bill and Kathy for health and the Lord's will as they seek His continuous leading for our life.

Pray for:  For our nation that once more we would truly be "One Nation, indivisible, under God with liberty and justice for all."  But God cannot bless sin.  We must understand that.

Pray for:  Our Churches, the Kingdom of God, that all who claim the name of Christ return to the Church.  Apart from God, politicians will never get this country back on track.  Repentance is necessary.

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 therefore 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!

Now Available through Amazon.com.

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. We all watched this as breakfast was being fixed. You hit it on the head with a bulls-eye shot. Sin is so rampant today that you hardly allow you kids to go into town, or the crew for that matter, and some around us, it's been in the news, are trying to get prostitution legal, no shame. I guess we can be thankful that most of us will be on the ranch until April. Thank you Pastor for telling it like it is. May the Lord Jesus Keep you safe.

  3. Yes, SIN! I've never heard a better teaching on sin. I will be going over this message time and again. Thank you for being a willing servant that the Lord can use.

    A good one for the day, nothing but sin out there. If it's not the young people it's the old people, and if neither, it's the in between. A timely message,

  5. A really good message I must say, my son as me why can't they just say, " they did a bad thing, or even a crime?" I told him, because it's called sin because God calls it sin, is that right? Really, that should be good enough, right? And God hates sin.

  7. As Willy Nelson might say, "we're on the road again". 2 weeks out this time, a load of lumber over to the coast. It's a little warmer over here. I'll load for home come Monday. Really good message on sin. It is getting pretty bad out at the truck stops. I ran across a TFC Chapel two weeks ago as I went into Toronto. We need more of them. It made a nice place to have a talk with another Christian while on the road,
