January 24, 2011...Training Materials

Warm greetings to you on a very cold wintry day in Michigan.

PERSONAL NOTE: I want to start right off by thanking all of the men who joined me on the platform yesterday for the "Manly Men's Serendipity Choir". I appreciate your willingness to serve on such short notice. Good job guys!

Remember me in your thoughts and prayers today as I will be on Ask The Pastor at 2 pm. Pray that all of the answers will be good answers and biblical.

YOU CAN KNOW THE WILL OF GOD: In the Book of James, chapter 1 and verse 2 it says: "Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds,". On the surface this may sound strange, but the text does continue to tell us that trials test our faith. Remember when you were in school and the teacher gave you a test? What was the purpose of the test (trial)? To see if you had learned the material and grown in the class. The same thing is true in your spiritual life. Tests and trials come to help us prove our faith. This is the will of God for you.

LEADERSHIP QUOTE: " I am sure that never was a people, who had more reason to acknowledge a Divine interposition in their affairs, than those of the United States, and I should be pained to believe that they have forgotten that agency, which was so often manifested during the Revolution, or that they failed to consider the omnipotence of that God who is alone able to protect them." George Washington
