Good day to you on a very snowy day in the Flint area. I am definitely look at my Florida maps later today! Oh well.
PERSONAL NOTE: I want to thank Mr. Bud and The Savior Singers for their participation in the Sunday morning worship service. Here is a message to every one in the group: "Baa baa baa baaaa!"
I thought that we had a great morning worship together. There was also much buzz about the message from the Book of Daniel. I trust that it was helpful.
Please note that next Sunday (28th) we will have special guest Rev. Roy Schwarcz with us for the worship service. He is from Chosen People Ministries. You won't want to miss this.
I just thought that I would pass along that I have posted a number of art works on the web and you can see them by clicking on this LINK. On my site you will find some abstract works, landscape works, fractals and nature works. View them at your leisure. I enjoy the outlet and the diversion that my artwork gives me.

YOU CAN KNOW THE WILL OF GOD: If you take your Bible and turn to First Peter chapter 5 and verse 12 you will find that it is God's will that we stand fast in the true grace of God. The Apostle Peter writes this statement in the close of his epistle. He is exhorting those who are reading to stand fast in the words that were written... the Word of God. This exhortation would be also valuable for us today. Christian, stand fast!

Good day to you all as I write this on a somewhat dreary Monday morning.
PERSONAL NOTE: Yesterday's message from the Book of Daniel seemed to have struck a cord with many people and several told me it helped their understanding, not only of Daniel but several other concepts (for example: angelic activity). Praise the Lord!
I want to thank Sue Warner and the King's Kids for singing to the Lord in the service. It is always a joy to see and hear!
Please note that your bulletin announced that Rev. Roy Schwarcz will be with us, Sunday, February 28 (two Sundays away). He was here once before. Roy is the Midwest Regional Director for Chosen People Ministries. Plan on attending and bring a guest.
This coming Saturday will be a sledding party at the Swifts for the WOL kids. I hope that they have a great and safe time. The weekend of the 26th through 28th is the teen winter retreat. Bundle up warm!

YOU CAN KNOW THE WILL OF GOD: If you turn in your Bible to First Peter, 5: 9 you will see that it says that we are to resist Satan. We can do this! Victory can be ours. We are to resist his overtures not just when it is convenient or easy... but we are to resist in the tough areas also. We resist Satan by being filled by the Spirit and exercising the fruit of the Spirit. We fight in the spiritual realm with spiritual tools. This is the will of God.

February 8, 2010 Training Materials
Good day to you on a sunny yet crisp Monday in February.
PERSONAL NOTE: I thought that yesterday's worship service was just great. We had a message from the Book of Daniel along with communion and extending the right hand of fellowship to new members, Frank and Paula Geren.
I received a fair amount of feedback concerning the last two messages in Daniel. They all expressed appreciation and new learning as a result. That's great!
Here are some things you need to be aware of:

YOU CAN KNOW THE WILL OF GOD: If you will turn in your Bible to First Peter, chapter 5 and verse 8, you will see the will of God clearly expressed for all Christians in the words that say we must all be sober (alert) and watchful concerning Satan. He, Satan, seeks to mess up the life of the believer. He knows that he cannot steal your salvation so the next best thing for him is to cause you to not to be vigilant in your daily walk. Remember, Satan is as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Be on guard! This is the will of God.

February 1, 2010 Training Materials
Greetings and welcome to you all on this sunny February day.
PERSONAL NOTE: I want to thank everyone involved who made yesterday's worship service what it was. Sometimes we don't realize all who are involved in order for the worship service to take place. It takes everyone from the janitors, greeters, sound personnel, office staff, ushers, musicians, etc. All are important to the worship experience. THANKS!
Please remember me in your prayers today (2-1-10) at 2 pm. I will be a panelist on ASK THE PASTOR, which can be viewed on channel 49 (channel 10 on cable). I know that you will find it interesting and maybe even challenging. Pray that we will give good answers that meet the caller's needs.
MONTHLY AUDIO: Please click on this LINK in order to listen to and download this month's audio which is: Dependence on God... Pt. 1.
LEADERSHIP TRAINING FEATURED ARTICLE: Please click on this LINK in order to read and download the article: Reaching the Disconnected Male...
BONUS BOOK RECOMMENDATION: This month's book recommendation will be more generic than specific. I highly recommend that each serious student and teacher of the Bible have at minimum a good single volume Bible commentary. Please check over a few and get the one that meets your needs. I have several but I like the layout of The MacArthur Bible Commentary. I feel that I can generally trust his material.
BONUS THEOLOGY ARTICLE: Please click on this LINK in order to read and download the article: What Can The Righteous Do? I believe that you will be informed, challenged and moved to action as a result of this article.
YOU CAN KNOW THE WILL OF GOD: If you will turn to First Peter chapter 5 and verse 7, you will read that it is God's will that we cast our cares upon God. It is not God's will that we carry all the cares of this life around with us to weigh us down. He can handle the load... let Him have them.
NEW... ADVANCED DISCIPLESHIP TRAINING: Please click on this LINK in order to read and download the article: The Value of Suffering. I think that you will find it a brain-stretcher. At the minimum it will cause you to think about your circumstances.
LEADERS QUOTE: The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary.
TODAY'S DEVOTIONAL: Please click on this LINK in order to read today's devotional.
I trust that you will have a great week and that your service to the Lord will rate a "well done!".
