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.

A Quote Worth Reading

“Bad men cannot make good citizens. It is when a people forget God that tyrants forge their chains. A vitiated state of morals, a corrupted public conscience, is incompatible with freedom. No free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality, and virtue; and by a frequent recurrence to fundamental principles.”

~Patrick Henry
***********************************
Responsibility of the Senior Pastor

As the Senior Pastor of this church, called by God to oversee His Church in Valley Farms, it is my responsibility from God to seek the meekness of humility in obedience to Him as I care for, His little flock; To be God honoring; Saint loving; Reaching out to the lost; While Teaching His Word Without Compromise.

A POWERFUL TRUTH:
The Word of God is alive and Powerful! When truly heard, this Word will awaken the spiritually dead.  His Word, when accepted as truth; will save men from their sin, therefore... “How can they hear without a preacher?” – Romans 10: 13-15.

Should you have any questions, feel free to talk with me.

Pastor’s Corner
Written by: Dr. Doug W. Beeks- Blue-line ministries
Edited by: Pastor William Perry- Community Christian Church

REMEMBERING 9/11/2001

Like many of you, I recall vividly where I was and what I was doing on the morning of September 11, 2001; 17 years ago today. I had the news playing on the television like most all mornings as I got ready for work. By then the first plane had already hit the tower. Not long after I watched in disbelief as the second plane struck the other tower, and then I watched in horror and shock as the towers collapsed and fell to the ground. In the coming days, reality became surreal; everything had changed. The walks I took at work during lunchtime had even changed; the sound of the jets flying overhead on approach to the airport was now absent bringing with it an eerie sense of quiet. The news was filled with stories of heroism, and with the painful grieving and loss by so many families. One thing was sure; the world was now forever changed for tens of thousands of people throughout the world, and especially for the people of the United States.

However, out of that tragedy, at least for awhile, people pulled together like had never been seen in generations, except maybe at the time of Pearl Harbor. It is during the worst of times that the greatest love, kindness, and compassion for humanity can most clearly be seen. During those times when we come to together, we are reminded of how cruel and uncaring humanity can be towards humanity, but it is also at these times we may, for a time, set aside our differences and may even feel compassion and love for  others. All the things that made us different, now, for this brief moment in time, these differences no longer seem to matter. We become one people; the people of the United States of America, yet, as Christians we know that apart from Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, it doesn't last for long.

On this day of remembrance and mourning, as we honor the brave men and women who gave their lives, and for the families that lost so much, let us once again, if only for a day or two, embrace that sense of love, and unity in our nation; once again coming together carrying it forward in honor of their memories and sacrifice.

“Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.” (Mat 5:4 KJV)

May we as a Nation fall to our knees, repent of our sins, pleading with the Lord to once more bless this great nation, and it’s people.--

******************************************************

IS THERE A BIBLICAL PRESCRIPTION TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN? YES! ONE AND ONLY ONE. IT'S FOUND IN 2nd CHRONICLES 7:14; "IF MY PEOPLE WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME WILL HUMBLE THEMSELVES, AND PRAY AND SEEK MY FACE, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, THEN I WILL HEAR FROM HEAVEN, AND WILL FORGIVE THEIR SINS AND HEAL THEIR LAND." 

THE ANSWER IS: TURN BACK TO THE LORD GOD-TO FAITH-FAMILY! 


WHY REACH OUT AND MINISTER TO MEN?

  • When a child is reached for Christ, 3.5% of the family will follow.
  • When a mother is reached for Christ, 17% of her family will follow.
  • When a father is reached for Christ, 93% of his family will follow.  (Per the Heritage Foundation)
  • THE LORD S CALLING FAITHFUL MEN TO LEAD THEIR FAMILIES!

*******************************************************

WONDERFUL WORDS OF LIFE!



HUMBLY SUBMIT


As a pastor, as a minister of God, I am to believe Him, to teach Meekness, yet, Boldly preach that every Word in the Bible is true, not what I may want to be true only; but every word; and without compromise!

12.  Power comes from the Greek word “Dunamis” which means ____________, ability, might, or miracle.  We get the English word “dynamite” from this word.

14.  People dedicated to God, the ones that have completely given their lives over to total submission to His will and to His way, are entrusted to operate in the _________ of the Lord.

25. Jesus was  _____________________ submitted to the Father’s will.


SALVATION:  Not only to Eternity in Heaven, but from Eternity in Hell!  You MUST, first of all:  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 calls on the Name of the Lord 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 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!

    1. Hello PB Sorry to hear of your Grand daughter's broken clavicle.
      I appreciate your teaching us how we can have the power of the Holy Ghosts working in our lives.
      Your two reasons we don't are spot on 1. Too much world in the church. 2. Too much pride to humble ourselves and conform to God's Word and will.
      It breaks my heart too to see young people ignorant as to whose they are and who they are.
      Too busy serving self to serve the living God. I am so tired of the chaos in the church assemble - the world is in agreement against God but the church is still
      fighting for the best spots.
      Submission - so contrary to today's name it and claim it teaching without change - Psalm 55:19.
      Great teaching PB .. be encouraged it is the message for our times.
      Your friend
