Greetings to you on a cool October morn.
PERSONAL NOTE: I want to thank everyone who was involved in yesterday's worship experience. Thanks, Bud Myers, for your solo number... good stuff!
I also want to thank and acknowledge everyone who was involved in the Saturday, Children's Costume Party. I pronounce it a success! A mighty thanks is due to Bill and Barb Swift for overseeing this event. THANKS!!!

YOU CAN KNOW THE WILL OF GOD: In Ephesians 5 and verse 22 it says, "Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord." [NIV]. If you will note the context, it occurs right after the submit to one another statement of verse 21. This term in ancient Greek had the idea of yielding authority to one of higher rank. In this context, the Lord wants us to understand the relationship and roles of the husband and wife in the marriage. Submit does not mean to be a doormat! It is a matter of recognizing God ordained positions. All Christians are to submit to the leadership of Christ as Christ submitted to the leadership of the Father. This is the will of God.

Greetings on this cloudy Fall day.
PERSONAL NOTE: I want to thank everyone who was involved in the details of yesterday's worship service and Sunday School. I appreciate every one's service.
Please remember to pray for me today because I will be on Ask The Pastor at 2 pm. Please also remember me this week as I anticipate a difficult week due to a variety of circumstances.

YOU CAN KNOW THE WILL OF GOD: In Galatians 6:6, the author makes this statement: "Anyone who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with his instructor." [NIV]. Please compare this with Phil. 4:14-19. In a passage where the author is making a variety of comments, he speaks to the issue of supporting the Pastor/Teachers in the local assembly. In order to do the work of teaching, they must spend time with the Apostles and Prophets (for us today, that would be the Bible). In order to deliver good teaching, time must be spent. He is merely speaking of paying those who are the above. This is the will of God.

October 17, 2011... Training Materials
Greetings on this rather grey October morning.
PERSONAL NOTE: I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who went to Christian Resources International from our Church and helped in sorting and boxing books and study materials. These items will be shipped all over the world to locations that do do have these things available. What a blessing we were to CRI and people we do not know. This is a cup of cold water in Jesus' name!
Thanks choir for your ministry in music yesterday.

YOU CAN KNOW THE WILL OF GOD: In First Corinthians 14 and verse 40 it reads, "But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way." [NIV]. The context of this verse is directly the result of the speaking in tongues problem that the Church at Corinth was experiencing (along with a host of other problems). Paul spends three chapters in First Corinthians on spiritual gifts and their use and abuse in the Church. Paul is stating that procedures in the Church must be done decently and in proper order. Self-control is the order of the day. It is possible to abuse even those things that are upright and holy. Let us practice order in the exercise of gifts and remember that this is the will of God.

Greetings on this great Fall day.
PERSONAL NOTE: I wanted to say that the message series on Men and Women of Faith has been well received by our congregation. Whenever I plan a series of messages, it is always my desire that they be informative, instructive and helpful in your daily walk. Thank you for your responses.
Don't forget the Child Evangelism Fellowship concert/fundraiser here at First Baptist Church. We are hosting this event but CEF is running it. I hope that you will take advantage of the event and show your support.
Sunday at 4 pm. I drove a group of the teens and leaders to a corn maize in Corunna. When the maize was done, we went to the Wylie's home for an afterglow where we played a number of games and ate every thing in site. Thanks Wylie family... we had a great, noisy, funny, and insane time!
Remember me in prayer today as I will be on Ask The Pastor at 2 pm. this afternoon.
