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


NEW Pray:  for the family of Gregory Martinez who is now in Heaven with the Lord.  A memorial service will be conducted by Pastor Bill Perry at the Community Christian Church here in Valley Farms on January 20, 2023 at 10:00 a.m.

Pray for George and Valerie: They are still having health problems.  Pray for wisdom for their doctors.
'
Pray for: the Perry Family.  There will be a grave side service for Eric Perry at the Fort Bayard National Cemetery in New Mexico. January 17, 2023 at 11:00 a.m.  All are welcome.

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.

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: 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.

FILL IN THE BLANKS!

(Check answers below.)  NOTE! Filling in the blanks each week, could give a serious student of the Lord Jesus Christ and the Bible, an education equal to a Theological degree within two years.

"Where the Mind Goes, the Man Will Follow"
Proverbs 23:7 and Romans 12:2 

1.   Proverbs 23:7 KJV “For as a man thinketh in his heart so is he.”  The Greek word for “thinketh” is “shaar”.  “Shaar” has the meaning “to estimate, or to form a ________, to have an __________ about someone, something, yourself, or others.”

2.   We are governed by our ______________ life.

3.   God communicates with us through our spirit.  ______ also communicates with us through our spirit.  When our spirit is not fed by God it is being fed by Satan or the things of _____ _________.

4.   What we believe molds our _____.  What we hear, we ________.  What we think, we feel.  What we feel, we do.  What we ____, becomes a habit.  Our habits determine how we live our life.

5.   Harmful _________ can slip into our mind and cause us to miss the mark.  We have a tendency to follow the directions that our ____________ dictate to us. 

6.   We should spend our life focusing on God’s ____________ instead of our problems.

7.   Romans 12:2 “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your __________, so that you may prove what the will of ____ is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.”

8.   The Greek word for conformed has the root meaning of being fashioned in the ___________ way.

9.   The Greek word for transformed has the meaning to transfigure, or to _____________ into another form.

10.  We need to allow the Holy Spirit, through the Word of God, to ____________ us—to change us into another form—to change us to be more like _______.  The change must take place in the ______.  The Greek word for mind is “nous” and this word can be translated “mind” or “will”, meaning the very seat of our reflective consciousness. 

11.  We are to live governed by our ______, not by our feelings; by His ______, not by our worries; by what He says, not by what we think.

12.  There’s a battle going on for your heart, mind, and soul.  Whoever can affect the way you ________ can change who you are and the way you live.

13.  What you ___________ (the way you __________) will determine whether you have peace or worry, joy and happiness or despair, and whether you are free or enslaved.

14.  We need our ___________ transformed into the mindset of the Lord Jesus Christ, because—“As the Mind Goes—So Goes the Man.”

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!

    To be apart of God, as in His DNA, is that what He is saying as Me in you, and You in me? Maybe, yes? Good message, good message!

  5. Thank you so much for the images. This looks like an appropriate resting place for a fine young military man that Eric was. I’m happy that you found this place and that the kids decided Eric should be out there.

    The picture of the half mast honor was emotional one for me, as well as the flag folding and exchange.

    Thanks again. Wish we were there for it, hope to get there to visit the site the future.

    Love you
