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.

PRAY: THAT FEAR WOULD SUBSIDE IN EQUAL PROPORTION TO OUR TRUST IN GOD. TO FEAR NOT!  FEAR ONLY THE LORD GOD; THERE IS NOTHING ELSE TO FEAR. TRUSTING IN HIM!

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 gospel. 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:

•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!

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.

  1. I was out last night in the snow and the cold working the stock, but watched the church message as I heated up by the fire, both were good, and good for me. I have to repeat that I get more from your teaching each time. I do believe you are spot on with the Scripture. I got it, The Water of the Word, into our brain, with the Holy Spirit pressing in down tight into our heart and spirit. Thanks, I get it, praise the Lord I've got it.

    Back at the Mill. Some hard on the big saw, but you do sleep well at night. Another message worthy of passing around. I will be presenting it at the community building as more move in from the bush.

  5. Pastor Bill,

    Valerie did have her appointment today (Monday). The pain on the top of her head is now on her Right and Left sides leading to each eye. It’s very painful. The good news is the doctor said it will require a shot on each side of the back of her neck. Before the doctor can do that, it has to be pre-approved. That is much better than we were thinking. We are praying it will be done this week.

    Thank you for your, and the church’s prayers.

    It’s good news to hear about Eric and Todd. Praise the Lord.

    May God bless you and the church.

    In Christ,

    George and Valerie Martinez

  6. astor Bill,

    Yes, we are not up to par today. Even though our hearts are in it. Valerie was asleep in her chair through most of it.

    We hope this is over soon. We are looking forward to getting back to normal and going to church.

    Yes it does help.

    I found your church service today on Godtube under, sermon videos. I decided to watch the one titled, The Joy of the Spirit. I really enjoyed it. I've been looking for something that would show the whole service. Most only show part of a church service. As I was watching, it kept freezing. I couldn't move the video up or down. Sometimes a message popped up that said, Godtube is not responding, do you want to close it? It had yes, report and wait. I always pressed wait. The thing was, even though I couldn't move it and it said that Godtube is not responding. The video and the sound kept playing, it didn't stop, it just kept going no matter what. I believe that Satan was trying to stop it, but no matter how much he tried, and he tried over and over many times, it kept going until the end. You are somewhere in the US, I'm on the other side of the world, on a small island. May God Bless you. I look forward to watching a different service video every day. Thank you.

  8. Pastor Bill and Kathy,

    The surgery was successful. They got the cancer. It took four attempts to get it all. It’s a relief that it’s done now. Valerie is home resting.

    Thank you both for your prayers. Also, thank Todd for his phone call last night. We both appreciated it.

    We are grateful for our church.

    George and Valerie
