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.

TO BE CHRISTIANS, WE MUST CONFESS AND AGREE WITH GOD THAT SIN IS SIN! KNOWING THAT GOD HATES SIN! THE SINNER MUST CONFESS, REPENT AND TURN FROM THEIR SINS, TURN TO JESUS AS LORD AND BE SAVED!

WE ARE!

CHRIST CENTERED

                                                   FAMILY FOCUSED

                                                                                                    LIFE CHANGING

Remember: As Christians, we have a New Nature that is Constrained by the Truth of Scripture!

Knowing that; Truth is always Truth, from Eternity past, through Eternity Future.

SO REMEMBER! If it's True, it's NOT NEW- If it's New it's NOT TRUE!

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!

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

       PRAISE GOD FOR HIS FAMILY


THANKFULNESS IS THE CHRISTIAN WAY


As a pastor, as a minister called by God, I am to trust Him, to believe Him, to teach His Word; the Bible, in all Meekness, with Humility, yet, Boldly preach that every Word in the Bible is true; not merely only what I may want to be true; but, that every word is true; and teach it without compromise!

"How can they hear without a Preacher!"

PASTOR'S CORNER


Mustard Seed....Really?
By Chaplain Bob Ruesch
Christian Resort Ministries

Step Back!!!  I have a mustard seed and I'm not afraid to use it!

This is the era of humanism, dark arts, floods of pharmaceuticals, and spiraling levels of mental illness. We are entering a season of uncertainty, fearfulness, and escapism. The spring of pride is fast becoming the winter of despair.” (Hal Lindsey)

Well, there is a statement to chew on! Listen to the news, watch the violence on TV, hear the arguments on street corners, and see the viciousness in merely driving your vehicle from one place to another. It seems that we are driving like we are fifteen minutes late and three texts behind.


Welcome to the current world of stress, rush, false teaching, contrary doctrine, complete disregard for human life. (At birth and beyond.) Yes, we are in a world of hurt. We as Christians are aware – but the non-believers of the world see wrong as normal, right as wrong, and the opportunity to cheat, lie acceptable.


We have a greater power, consider the mustard seed of your faith, becoming a massive tree of spiritual power in the community you serve. You are the impact of Christ; how will you serve? Fall Conference in October will bring into clarity new teachings from The Fuel Project and American Gospel to help and equip to meet our dark work with the light of Jesus.

Be ready; the battle is in play, warrior up.

PRAYER REQUESTS AND PRAISE REPORTS

PRAY FOR: Doug, a close friend of our friend Jeff up in Minnesota (more like our son), fell on Friday and broke his back. Please keep Doug and his family in your prayers. He will be going through a series of operations. THANKS!

PRAISE! VICTOR is back home recovering from a heart attack.  Continue to keep him in your prayers for a speedy recovery.  Pray for the family.

PRAISE/PRAY FOR: Carol, Kathy's sister. Carol is doing better.  She is in a rehab center getting stronger and receiving some physical therapy.

PRAY FOR:  Continue to pray for Todd as he serves the Lord. 

PRAY FOR:  Keep Rick in your prayers.

PRAY FOR ERIC: Update from Eric - Been very busy medically the last 2 weeks. I have been discussing my work situation with my doctors and said that I can't maintain what I am doing and need to see if i can go on some sort of short term disability.
They agreed and gave me a note to stay out of work until Nov 1. I had occupational medicine examine me from Atlantic Health and they agreed, so the short term insurance company is reviewing it and I should officially be on disability this Friday.
The reason for Nov 1 is because we are 1 or 2 tests away from getting an official diagnosis of "Sarcoidosis" and the treatment typically takes 6 weeks to go through the process. For whatever reason, it seams like these 2 weeks have been tougher than the rest maybe because I am hopeful that this time it will be the right direction, which it does seem to be. I've been lost for so long that I have forgotten what normal is, but hopefully this will pull me a little bit closer to normal. Thats my story. I have an ultrasound scheduled today in regard to blood clot from last year(not sure why that was scheduled), and on Monday Sept 23 a BRONCHOSCOPY ENDOBRONCHIAL ULTRASOUND which is to get a biopsy of a lympnode in my lung to better conclude the diagnosis of sarcoid.


PRAY FOR: Please keep Fred, Debbie and the medical team in your prayers. .

PRAY FOR: Doug Beeks as he ministers through his Blue Line Ministry.

PRAY FOR: Phyllis, for her health 

PRAY FOR: Virginia Perry who is 84 and loosing her sight.

PRAY FOR: Barbra Ruesch, who is dealing with cancer. Our dear friend Barb is the wife of our friend and CCRM Lead Chaplain Bob Ruesch.  

PRAY FOR: The many in and around Valley Farms who are trapped in the ungodly cult of Mormonism and have turned their backs on the true Jesus, and there-fore are not saved, and are on their way to HELL! 

PRAY 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 gospel. Pray that many would respond to the Truth of God's Word in love and truth.

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!

      Am I Thankful for my salvation- I can easily say yes! Who am I greatful to? It's sure not me! My pastor yes, to a degree- but truly to God the Son, as well as God the Father and God the Holy Spirit! I praise Him; God the Three in One. Every day.

    4. Hi PB

      What a privilege to be a part of the family of God! We ought to be thankful for the things He has done. So many who claim the joy of the Lord should tell their face so it could smile a while.

      You are so right PB on the fact that there is little to no common sense anymore and souls are being led away from God.

      I enjoyed your teaching that we are not in the image of God but of carnal man and we need to repent and be converted and conformed into the image of Christ Jesus.
      Be blessed
