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.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

A virgin shall conceive


You shall call His Name Jesus for He will save His people from their sin.

Jesus said, “If you love me,

keep my commandments.”

“Father forgive them,

for they know not what they do.”


On the third day He arose.

“He is not here, He has risen.”

“All authority in Heaven and earth has been given to me…Surely I am with you always to the end of the age.”

The Trinity in Heaven

Merry Christmas:  And may we never forget that He is the Reason for the Season.

December 16 My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys!

A COWBOY’S PRAYER

Oh, Lord, I’ve never lived where churches grow.clip_image001
I love creation better as it stood that day You finished it so long ago
And looked upon Your work and called it good.
I know that others find You in the light
That’s sifted down through tinted window panes,
And yet I seem to feel You near tonight in this dim, quiet starlight on the plains.
I thank You, Lord, that I am placed so well,
That You have made my freedom so complete;
COWBOYPRAYING07That I’m no slave of whistle, clock or bell,
Nor weak-eyed prisoner of wall and street.
Just let me live my life as I’ve begun
And give me work that’s open to the sky;
Make me a pardner of the wind and sun,
And I won’t ask a life that’s soft or high.
Let me be easy on the man that’s down;
Let me be square and generous with all.
I’m careless sometimes Lord, when I’m in town,COWBOYPRAYING12
But never let ‘em say I’m mean or small!
Make me as big and open as the plains,
Clean as the wind that blows behind the rains,
Free as the hawk that circles down the breeze!
Forgive me, Lord, if sometimes I forget.
You know the reasons that are hid. You understand the things that gall and fret;
You know me better than my mother did.
Just keep an eye on all that’s done and said and right me, sometimes, when I turn aside,
And guide me on the long, dim trail ahead that stretches upward toward the Great Divide.

 

THE GREATEST COWBOY

OF THEM ALL

  MY HERO!

CCCLOGOBrownWide

Kathy and I want to thank you for allowing us time alone with the Lord.  Isaiah 40:31 “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.  They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.”


We were blessed to be able to have this quiet time alone on the mountain top with the Lord.  We do feel refreshed and ready to serve Him.  We are looking forward to it, with strength and vigor.

1 Kings 18:21  “Elijah went before the people and said, ‘How long will you waiver between two opinions?  If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal is god follow him.” (And go to Hell!)

Thank you Lord for the love of Your people. For the ones who truly love us as their shepherd; they love us because they truly love You, the One who sent us! And thank You dearly, Lord, for their prayers and Your direction.

November 18

Wishing you all a very Happy Thanksgiving!

 

VISION OF THE CALL-Cont’

It became even more clear as we moved into 2012, that the Lord was beginning to bring up, and, place many troubling things before me personally. At the time, I had no idea that He was letting me in on a vision for our nation, and the need today was becoming so great and so necessary.


This had started out as a way of helping support foreign missionaries. However, after a little research, I was encouraged to dig deeper. And it wasn’t long at all, before the Lord brought my focus back to America. Back to a truth,. To a truth that this great missionary sending country, has, over the past 40 years, been transitioned from a missionary sending country, to a nation that is in desperate need of missionaries itself. This was further evidenced as I observed the closing of hundreds upon hundreds of small churches throughout rural America.


As I consider the neglect of the church in America, the cultural, as well as the spiritual war we are in, and today, is, ever, rapidly escalating, one question continually keeps popping up.“Are we, as ministers in America, as focused on introducing people to the Lord Jesus and discipleship, as we would be if we were serving as full time missionaries in a foreign land?


The Lord continues to ask, “Will you go for Me?” The call continues. “Will you go for Me?” 


We have felt the call so strong.  Now it’s time to pray and fast for the Lord’s direction for our life.  We seek your prayers as we seek the Lord. 


This will be our last general e-mail as our ministry at Ho Ho Kam will be ending on November 25.  If you would like for us to continue please let us know.  If you are truly praying people we covet your prayers as we seek the Lord’s face.
