March 21, 2011... Training Materials

Greetings to you all on this, the beginning of Spring! I'm so glad.

PERSONAL NOTES: I want to thank everyone who was involved in any way in yesterdays' worship service. It was apparent to me that the Lord was ministering to hearts. Thanks, choir, for the messages in song.

Please remember, if you have not turned in your Faith Promise Pledge card, please do so now. We need to revise the count to see what we have to work with this year in missions.

Today at 2 PM., I will be on the panel of Ask The Pastor in Saginaw on channel 49. If you get the chance, watch it or record it to view latter. Please remember to pray for me and the rest of the panel that we might have good biblical answers.

YOU CAN KNOW THE WILL OF GOD: In First Timothy, chapter 4 and verse 13, it says, "Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, ...". The context of this passage is as a message to Timothy as a minister of the Gospel. You must remember that there were no personal Bibles back then, and as such, the people who wanted to hear God's word would need to go some place where the Scriptures would be read. Paul, in this passage, connects the reading of Scripture with the preaching and teaching of it.

The lesson here for all of us is that we do not neglect the word of God in our daily lives. As Americans, we are all very fortunate because we usually have more than one Bible each. We have no excuse to neglect God's word in our lives. We cannot know what God wants from us unless we hear Him speak to various issues. The Bible is the source of answers from God about life and all that we do. Go to the source when you want to know what God thinks about you and your life.
