Beacon of Truth

Greetings once again in the precious name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It was a nice week. The weather was beautiful and the Thanksgiving family get together was great.

My cousin Wayne Leroy Williams passed way down in Louisiana. Remember those left behind in prayer. Only God can give the comfort needed in times like these.

My sermon today at TLBC was "Fishers of Men" and the outline is posted on the front page of our church website: http://thelordsbaptistchurch.com/ We have started a radio broadcast on Sunday mornings from 8:45 to 9:00 AM on KLAY 1180AM. I hope those who are within the broadcast range will tune in and listen to "The Beacon of Truth."

Brother Kenneth Long and I are anxiously waiting for the go ahead word from Alex Zazhitko in Chernigov, Ukraine so we can buy our tickets for the Missionary journey to the Ukraine where I am hoping to organize a true church by the authority of TLBC here in Tacoma. This should happen some time in December. (Lord willing)

If you are looking for a way to supplement your monthly cash flow, let me help you get set up with an online home business that can work for you. LFI is only good for USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand but I use GDI, Trafficwave and DirectMatches to promote my LFI Biz and all of these can be sources of income too. Let me introduce you to them. No charge for trying these programs.

I preached this morning on"Steadfast Thanksgiving" and the outline for the sermon is on the front page of our church website. http://thelordsbaptistchurch.com

Our visitor from Wednesday night prayer meeting came back for the worship services today. Mom was still too sick to make it. We voted this afternoon to start a short radio program on Sunday morning. We are praying that the Lord will bless and use it to His honor and glory.

Our Missionary in Ireand, Bob Ellis, is losing his eye sight. The optic nerve for his right eye has a lymphatic lesion. He goes in for a biopsy this Tuesday. I mention this for those that pray. Also, my trip to the Ukraine was postponed due to urgent surgery on the youngest child of brother Zazhitko. Young David is having some complications and they need prayer.

Constitutional Rights

We had a first time visitor tonight at TLBC prayer meeting. (Sheila Rogers) It was also good to have the Turners back home from their trip to Idaho. Mom is still ill. We are taking her in to see the Dr. tomorrow.

Last night there was an interesting story on the news about the terrible drought they are having down in the Southeastern part of the country. The Governor of Georgia called for a day of prayer. Several ministers met at the Georgia State capital and prayed for rain to replenish the reservoirs for a lot of the state drinking water. Of course some were already complaining about what they called a breach of the separation of church and state. (idiots)

What a blessing it was to see on the weather channel that there were thunder storms all over Georgia tonight. PRAISE the LORD.

NEW PREAMBLE TO THE CONSTITUTION

This is probably the best e-mail I've seen in a long, long time. The
following has been attributed to State Representative Mitchell Aye from
GA. This guy should run for President one day...

"We the sensible people of the United States , in an attempt to help
everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid more riots,
keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure the
blessings of debt-free liberty to ourselves and our great-great-
great-grandchildren, hereby try one more time to ordain and establish
some common sense guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt ridden,
delusional, and other liberal bed-wetters. We hold these truths to be
self evident: that a whole lot of people are confused by the Bill of
Rights and are so dim they require a Bill of NON-Rights."

ARTICLE I: You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV, or
any other form of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire them,
but no one is guaranteeing anything.

ARTICLE II: You do not have the right to never be offended. This
Country is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone -- not just you!
You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion,
etc.; but the world is full of idiots, and probably always will be.

ARTICLE III: You do not have the right to be free from harm.
If you stick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful,
do not expect the tool manufacturer to make you and all your
relatives independently wealthy.

ARTICLE IV: You do not have the right to free food and housing.
Americans are the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly
help anyone in need, but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing
generation after generation of professional couch potatoes who achieve
nothing more than the creation of another generation of professional
couch potatoes. (This one is my pet peeve...get an education and go to work....
don't expect everyone else to take care of you!)

ARTICLE V: You do not have the right to free health care. That would be
nice, but from the looks of public housing, we're just not interested in
public health care.

ARTICLE VI: You do not have the right to physically harm other people.
If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim, or kill someone, don't be
surprised if the rest of us want to see you fry in the electric chair.

ARTICLE VII: You do not have the right to the possessions of others. If
you rob, cheat, or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens,
don't be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a
place where you still won't have the right to a big screen color TV or a
life of leisure.

ARTICLE VIII: You do not have the right to a job. All of us sure want
you to have a job, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we
expect you to take advantage of the opportunities of education and
vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful. (AMEN!)

ARTICLE IX: You do not have the right to happiness. Being an American
means that you have the right to PURSUE happiness, which by the way, is
a lot easier if you are unencumbered by an over abundance of idiotic laws
created by those of you who were confused by the Bill of Rights.

ARTICLE X: This is an English speaking country. We don't care where you
are from, English is our language. Learn it or go back to wherever you
came from! (lastly....)

ARTICLE XI: You do not have the right to change our country's history
or heritage. This country was founded on the belief in God. And yet, you
are given the freedom to believe in any religion, any faith, or no faith at all;
with no fear of persecution. The phrase IN GOD WE TRUST is part
of our heritage and history, and if you are uncomfortable with it,
TOUGH!!!!
=================================================
If you agree, share this with a friend. No, you don't have to, and
nothing tragic will befall you if you don't . I just think it's about
time common sense is allowed to flourish. Sensible people of the United
States speak out because if you do not, who will?

Materialism

We took a look around the "Heavenly" ski resort back when we were on our little holiday down at Lake Tahoe. I think we will stick with Crystal Mountain here locally for our winter fun.

Turners are still in Idaho. Mom is still sick. Others were missing today in church too but it was good to be in the House of the Lord. I preached on "Nuts" and the outline is on the front page of our church website as usual. http://thelordsbaptistchurch.com

MATERIALISM


The rich industrialist from the North was horrified to find the Southern fisherman lying lazily beside his boat, smoking a pipe.

"Why aren't you out fishing?" said the industrialist.

"Because I have caught enough fish for the day," said the fisherman.

"Why don't you catch some more?"

"What would I do with it?'

"You could earn some money" was the reply.

"With that you could have a motor fixed to your boat and go into deeper waters and catch more fish. Then you could make enough money to buy nylon nets. These would bring you more fish and more money. Soon you would have enough money to own two boats...maybe even a fleet of boats.

Then you would be a rich man like me."

"What would I do then?"

"Then you could really enjoy life."

"What do you think I am doing right now?"

Monday is Veterans Day.

Thank You Veterans

I want to thank every man and woman who has given
time, effort, sweat, tears, loneliness, sacrifice, pain, sorrow,
patriotism, loyalty, love, bravery, and faith to their
work in keeping America safe and for giving us something
to live for, to fight for, to love for, and to believe in.
God is the first harbinger of all our blessings; and if
we lose our faith in Him, we shall perish. But with our
heads lifted high toward Heaven and our hearts stayed on
His purpose and our minds surrendered to His will, we
can have days ahead as we remember them in the past.
Many are fighting and some have died that I may
have the liberty to preach the Gospel. Thanks to those
who have been willing to do so. Let us always remember
and never forget that the service of our young in battle is
paramount to our being a free country. Let freedom ring!

Thank You, Veterans
It is the VETERAN,
not the preacher,
who has given us
freedom of religion.

It is the VETERAN,
not the reporter,
who has given us
freedom of the press.

It is the VETERAN,
not the poet,
who has given us
freedom of speech.

It is the VETERAN,
not the campus organizer,
who has given us
freedom to assemble.

It is the VETERAN,
not the lawyer,
who has given us
the right to a fair trial.

It is the VETERAN,
not the politician,
Who has given us
the right to vote.

A Blessed Day

It shall be well with you today. READ ON. No matter how much your enemies try, they will not succeed. You have been destined to make it and you shall surely achieve all your goals today. Your problems will enter Call Blocking, your enemies will have network problems and their bad wishes for you will enter into junk mail. All your agonies will be diverted and victory and prosperity will be your incoming calls. Heaven has confirmed today the end of your sufferings sorrows and pains because HE that sits on the throne has remembered you. HE has taken away the hardships and given you JOY. HE will never let you down. I knocked at heavens door this morning, and I said, FATHER, please protect and bless the person reading this message... GOD answered... Request granted.

Have a Blessed Day!!

Good services at TLBC today. See website: http://thelordsbaptistchurch.com

Turners are in Idaho and won't be home until after next Lord's Day. Marion and I were in Tahoe for a couple of days earlier in the week. It was nice but would have been nicer if Marion had been feeling better. I took her and Mom to the Dr. on Friday for the colds, coughing and congestion that they had. They are doing better now. Tomorrow our 7yr old granddaughter goes in to have her tonsels removed. Pray for her.

I almost came down with the community cold that everyone has (last Monday) but I slugged down some extra Body Balance, Tahebo, and Coloidal Silver with some Zink cough drops and it went away. Not BAD! I can still claim that I have only had ONE cold since I started taking the Life Force products back in 2003. I highly recommend that you try a free quart of Body Balance at this LINK: http://tinyurl.com/9c36q

Blue Ribbon

A teacher in New York decided to honor each of her seniors in High School by telling them the difference each of them had made. She called each student to the front of the class, one at a time.
First, she told each of them how they had made a difference to her, and the class. Then she presented each of them with a blue ribbon, imprinted with gold letters, which read, "Who I Am Makes a Difference." Afterwards, the teacher decided to do a class project, to see what kind of impact recognition would have on a Community. She gave each of the students three more blue ribbons, and instructed them to go out and spread this acknowledgment ceremony. Then they were to follow up on the results, see who honored whom and report back to the class in about a week.
One of the boys in the class went to a junior executive in a nearby Company, and honored him for helping him with his career planning. He gave him a blue ribbon, and put it on his shirt. Then he gave him two extra ribbons and said, "We're doing a class project on recognition, and we'd like for you to go out, find somebody to honor, give them a blue ribbon, then give them the extra blue ribbon so they can acknowledge a third person, to keep this acknowledgment ceremony going. Then please report back to me and tell me what happened."
Later that day, the junior executive went in to see his boss, who had been noted, by the way, as being kind of a grouchy fellow. He sat his boss down, and he told him that he deeply admired him for being a creative genius. The boss seemed very surprised. The junior executive asked him if he would accept the gift of the blue ribbon, and would he give him permission to put it on him. His surprised boss said, "Well, sure." The junior executive took the blue ribbon and placed it right on his boss's jacket, above his heart. As he gave him the last extra ribbon, he said, "Would you take this extra ribbon, and pass it on by honoring somebody else? The young boy who first gave me the ribbons is doing a project in school, and we want to keep this recognition ceremony going and find out how it affects people."
That night, the boss came home to his 14-year-old son, and sat him down. He said, "The most incredible thing happened to me today. I was in my office, and one of the junior executives came in and told me he admired me, and gave me a blue ribbon for being a creative genius. Imagine! He thinks I'm a creative genius! Then he put this blue ribbon that says, "Who I Am Makes a Difference", on my jacket above my heart. He gave me an extra ribbon and asked me to find somebody else to honor.
As I was driving home tonight, I started thinking about whom I would honor with this ribbon, and I thought about you. I want to honor you. My days are really hectic and when I come home, I don't pay a lot of attention to you. Sometimes I scream at you for not getting good enough grades in school, and for your bedroom being a mess. But somehow tonight, I just wanted to sit here and, well, just let you know that you do make a difference to me. Besides your mother, you are the most important person in my life. You're a great kid, and I love you!"
The startled boy started to sob and sob, and he couldn't stop crying. His whole body shook. He looked up at his father and said through his tears, "Dad, earlier tonight I sat in my room and wrote a letter to you and Mom, explaining why I had killed myself, and I asked you to forgive me. I was going to commit suicide tonight after you were asleep. I just didn't think that you cared at all. The letter is upstairs. I don't think I need it after all." His father walked upstairs and found a heartfelt letter full of anguish and pain. The boss went back to work a changed man. He was no longer a grouch, but made sure to let all of his employees know that they made a difference.
The junior executive helped several other young people with career planning, and never forgot to let them know that they made a difference in his life......one being the boss' son. And the young boy and his classmates learned a valuable lesson, "Who you are DOES make a difference".

There were still a lot out sick today in church. My sermon was on "How To Defeat Satans Attacks On Your Home" (outline on front page) http://thelordsbaptistchurch.com/ Marion has come down with the community cold that is going around. I have a slight tickle in my throat. Hope it does not hinder our enjoyment of our little get away this Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday a Lake Tahoe.

Shipwreck

The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him. Every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming. Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect himself from the elements, and to store his few possessions.

One day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, with smoke rolling up to the sky. He felt the worst had happened, and everything was lost. He was stunned with disbelief, grief, and anger. He cried out, "God, how could you do this to me?"

Early the next day, he was awakened by the sound of a ship approaching the island! It had come to rescue him! "How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers. "We saw your smoke signal," they replied.

The moral of this story: it's easy to get discouraged when things are going bad, but we shouldn't lose heart, because God is at work in our lives, even in the midst of our pain and suffering. Remember that the next time your little hut seems to be burning to the ground. It just may be a smoke signal that summons the Grace of God. Romans 8:28

==========================================

Very small group in prayer meeting tonight. Lots of folks down with colds. Brother Long has his passport renewed for our trip to Ukraine but we must delay the trip until December now due to a hernia surgery needed on one of Alex's sons.

Marion and I are leaving next Tuesday for two nights and three days at Lake Tahoe. This is a late celebration of our 42nd anniversary. We hope to visit sister Cookie in a Reno hospital while we are there after her hip replacement surgery.

GOD and the spider

Quotation of the Day:

Defeat may test you; it need not stop you. If at first you don't succeed, try another way. For every obstacle there is a solution. Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. The greatest mistake is giving up.-- Anonymous

See our church website for the latest report on our worship services at TLBC. http://thelordsbaptistchurch.com/

It was good to have one of Mom's neighbors in the SHAG apartment, Lakewood Meadows, in church today as a first time visitor. Most of the regulars were there. Some are still out sick and some are too busy with the things of the world to be in the Lord's house.


God and the Spider

During World War II, a US marine was separated from his unit on a Pacific island. The fighting had been intense, and in the smoke and the crossfire he had lost touch with his comrades. Alone in the jungle, he could hear enemy soldiers coming in his direction. Scrambling for cover, he found his way up a high ridge to several small caves in the rock. Quickly he crawled inside one of the caves. Although safe for the moment, he realized that once the enemy soldiers looking for him swept up the ridge, they would quickly search all the caves and he would be killed.

As he waited, he prayed, "Lord, if it be your will, please protect me. Whatever your will though, I love you and trust you. Amen."

After praying, he lay quietly listening to the enemy begin to draw close. He thought, "Well, I guess the Lord isn't going to help me out of this one."! Then he saw a spider begin to build a web over the front of his cave.

As he watched, listening to the enemy searching for him all the while, the spider layered strand after strand of web across the opening of the cave. "Hah," he thought. "What I need is a brickwall and what theLord has sent me is a spider web. God does have a sense of humor."

As the enemy drew closer he watched from the darkness of his hideout and could see them searching one cave after another. As they came to his, he got ready to make his last stand. To his amazement, however, after glancing in the direction of his cave, they moved on. Suddeny, he realized that with the spider web over the entrance, his cave looked as if no one had entered for quite a while. "Lord, forgive me," prayed the young man. "I had forgotten that in you a spider's web is stronger than a brick wall."

We all face times of great trouble. When we do, it is so easy to forget the victories that God would work in our lives, sometimes in the most surprising ways. As the great leader, Nehemiah, reminded the people of Israel when they faced the task of rebuilding Jerusalem, "In God we will have success!" [Nehemiah 2:20]

Remember: Whatever is happening in your life, with God, a mere spider's web can become a brick wall of protection. Believe He is with you always. Just speak His name through Jesus His son, and you will see His great power and love for you.

Children

Several were missing in church today due to illness. That seems to happen every year around this time (a few weeks after school starts up again). My sermon this morning was on "Famous Last Words". See the outline here : http://thelordsbaptistchurch.com/

We have added another page on our church website called Click and Listen. Click the link in the blue section on the left of the front page. Our plans are to make some old time sermons available that were preached by brethren who have gone on home to be with the Lord. May the Lord bless them to your listening pleasure and to the benefit of your soul.

To those of us who have children in our lives, whether they are our own, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, or students...here is something to make you chuckle. Whenever your children are out of control, you can take comfort from the thought that even God's omnipotence did not extend to His own children. After creating heaven and earth, God created Adam and Eve. And the first thing he said was "DON'T!"

Keep Scrolling "Don't what?" Adam replied.

"Don't eat the forbidden fruit." God said.

"Forbidden fruit? We have forbidden fruit? Hey Eve..we have forbidden fruit!!!!!"

"No Way!"

"Yes way!"

"Do NOT eat the fruit!" said God.

"Why"

"Because I am your Father and I said so!" God replied, wondering why He hadn't stopped creation after making the elephants. A few minutes later, God saw His children having an apple break and He was angry! "Didn't I tell you not to eat the fruit?" God asked.

"Uh huh," Adam replied.

"Then why did you?" said the Father.

"I don't know," said Eve.

"She started it!" Adam said

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"DID NOT!"

Having had it with the two of them, God's punishment was that Adam and Eve should have children of their own. Thus the pattern was set and it has never changed.


BUT THERE IS REASSURANCE IN THE STORY! If you have persistently and lovingly tried to give children wisdom and they haven't taken it, don't be hard on yourself. If God had trouble raising children, what makes you think it would be a piece of cake for you?

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT!

1. You spend the first two years of their life teaching them to walk and talk. Then you spend the next sixteen telling them to sit down and shut up.

2. Grandchildren are God's reward for not killing your own children.

3. Mothers of teens now know why some animals eat their young.

4. Children seldom misquote you. In fact, they usually repeat word for word what you shouldn't have said.

5. The main purpose of holding children's parties is to remind yourself that there are children more awful than your own.

6. We childproofed our homes, but they are still getting in.

Good prayer meeting last night at TLBC.
Tuesday was Marion and my 42nd Anniversary.
Turners took us out to the Country Buffet and
we have plane tickets, car rental and reservations
for a three day stay in a Resort at Lake Tahoe near
Reno the end of the month.

I have a travel partner for the trip to the Ukraine
but his passport has expired and we need to wait
for it to get renewed. Brother Ken Long, Pastor of
a church in Louisville, KY will be going with me.
Brother Long and I traveled together back in 1995
when we spent two weeks in Siberia exploring for a
missionary endeavor at that time.
==================================

I heard today that Brother Elton Wilson went home
to be with the Lord. Brother Wilson was my Pastor
back in 1974 to 1978 when I attended Clarksville Baptist

3rd Quarter 07 at TLBC

We had a dozen in church today at TLBC. Sermon outline "Salvation on Trial" is on the front page of our church website: http://thelordsbaptistchurch.com/

Email: ljkillion@juno.com


This is our Newsletter and Quarterly Report for the 3rd quarter of 2007. We finished studying the Law, the Five Points of Grace and Pastor has preached on a variety of topical sermons. See our church website for the outlines of the latest sermons preached on Sunday mornings. In our afternoon services we continue to study a survey of things in the New Testament.

Pastor traveled to Troy, Michigan for the Bible Conference at Covenant Baptist Church and had a wonderful time of fellowship with the brethren there. We also enjoyed a wonderful Labor Day Bible Conference at SPMBC in Seattle. Our Missionary to Ireland, Robert Ellis and his wife Dee and their daughter Leta were here too and we enjoyed their stay with us very much.

Sister Marion is recovering more slowly now from her compression fracture in her back and Pastor has also developed back and leg (sciatic nerve) pain in sympathy for his dear bride. Pray that they would both be able to cut back on their Ibuprofen soon. We have been in communication with a group of believers in the Ukraine since early August and there is a good possibility that Pastor will be taking a trip there to teach, baptize, ordain an elder and organize a church in the near future. Please pray about this possibility too.

Our church attendance still needs improvement. We canvas the neighborhood around the meeting place using several different gospel tracts we ordered from Elder Wilbert Ellis in Florence, Kentucky. People here have very little concern about spiritual truth from the Bible. Our membership is aging and becoming less able to get out and about so we are praying for divine leadership on other ways to let folks know about our services.

Our Missionaries are doing well and we receive good reports from them. There are several new visitors in the work in Ireland and two have followed the Lord in baptism. The mission in Northwestern Mindanao is still working on the building program as finances allow and brother Baldemor, who is now in his eighties, faithfully labors to minister to them and other preaching points but is hindered at times due to transportation needs.

Pastor preached a wedding and a funeral in July. Sister Maxine’s son Donnie passed away from liver cancer. One of Pastor’s cousins is in hospice care with cancer. Brother Skip is still battling complications from diabetes. Brother Turner has retired from his secular job. Sisters Joan, Cookie and Sue encourage us from a distance. Sister Sue says she hopes to return to Washington sometime next year. Lloyd was here for the Labor Day Conference but we haven’t heard from him since his return to Texas. Brandon writes from time to time and we never hear from Tom.

Thanks again to those who faithfully remember us in prayer. We need it. We love you in the Lord. Pray for our children and grand children. Pray that God would be pleased in His sovereign grace to save the lost and ad the saved to the church.

THE OLD PATHS

Preached on Eternal Security at TLBC today. Sermon Outline on front page of Church Website: http://thelordsbaptistchurch.com/

Gettng ready for a trip to Ukraine. See details on the prayer page of our church website under Pastors possible trip to Ukraine....

THE OLD PATHS
I liked the old paths, when Moms were at home. Dads were at work. Brothers went into the army. And sisters got married BEFORE having children! Crime did not pay; Hard work did; And people knew the difference. Moms could cook; Dads would work; Children would behave. Husbands were loving; Wives were supportive; And children were polite. Women wore the jewelry; And Men wore the pants. Women looked like ladies; Men looked like gentlemen; And children looked decent. People loved the truth, And hated a lie; They came to church to worship, Not to be entertained! Hymns sounded Godly; Sermons sounded helpful; Rejoicing sounded normal; And crying sounded sincere. Cursing was wicked; Drugs were for illness; And divorce was unthinkable. The flag was honored; America was beautiful; And God was welcome! We read the Bible in public; Prayed in school; And preached from house to house To be called an American was worth dying for; To be called a Christian was worth living for; To be called a traitor was a shame! Preachers preached because they had a message; And Christians rejoiced because they had the VICTORY! Preachers preached from the Bible; Singers sang from the heart; And sinners turned to the Lord to be SAVED! A new birth meant a new life; Salvation meant a changed life; Following Christ evidenced eternal life. Being a preacher meant you proclaimed the word of God; Being a deacon meant you would serve the Lord; Being a Christian meant you would live for Jesus; And being a sinner meant someone was praying for you! Laws were based on the Bible; Homes read the Bible; And churches taught the Bible. God was worshiped; Christ was exalted; And the Holy Spirit was respected.. Church was where you found Christians on the Lord's day, rather than in the garden, at the camp site, on the golf course, fishing or being entertained somewhere else. I still like the old paths the best!

Best "JOKE" of the year...

Best Joke of the year......

A Somali arrives in Minneapolis as a new immigrant to the United States. He stops the first person he sees walking down the street and says, "Thank you Mr. American for letting me in this country, giving me housing, food stamps, free medical care, and free education!" The passerby says, "You are mistaken, I am Mexican."

The man goes on and encounters another passerby. "Thank you for having such a beautiful country here in America!" The person says, "I not American, I Vietnamese."

The new arrival walks further, and the next person he sees he stops, shakes his hand and says, "Thank you for the wonderful America!" That person puts up his hand and says, "I am from Middle East, I am not American!"

He finally sees a nice lady and asks, "Are you an American?" She says, "No, I am from Russia!" Puzzled, he asks her, "Where are all the Americans?" The Russian lady checks her watch and says...

"Probably at work."
============

There was a sweet spirit in our prayer meeting services last night at TLBC. We are still praying about a possible missionary endeavor with regard to organizing a sister church in the Ukraine. For more details please look at the prayer request (Pastor's possible trip to the Ukraine) on the prayer page of our church website. http://thelordsbaptistchurch.com

Two Timely Quotes from years gone by

Attendance was WAY down today in our worship services here at TLBC. My sermon was on "Irresistible Grace". Outline is on the front page of our church website: http://thelordsbaptistchurch.com

We are looking into the possbiity of adding some sermons to our church website that can be viewed via streaming media. More to come on that.

============================

"It appears we have appointed our worst generals to command forces, and our most gifted and brilliant to edit newspapers. In fact, I discovered by reading newspapers that these editor/geniuses plainly saw all my strategic defects from the start, yet failed to inform me until it was too late.

Getting back to normal

Our Missionaries to Ireland made it back home OK and so did our guests from Texas, Oklahoma and California. Things were getting back to normal in our services today at TLBC. I resumed my study on the five points of tulip. Today's sermon outline is on the front page of our church website: http://thelordsbaptistchurch.com/

I'll be traveling to Troy, Michigan this Tuesday for the Bible Conference there at the Covenant Baptist Church where Bill Senich is Pastor. Tommorow I have an appontment with the Chiropracter and am hoping he can relieve my sciatic pain for the trip. I'd appreciate your prayers if you are one of the few who have access to the throne room of our sovereign God.

Now that school is started for another year it won't be long before colds and the flu will be going around everywhere. I have only had ONE cold since I started taking the Life Force products back in the summer of 2003. I highly recommend that you try a free sample of Body Balance by clicking the link below. For the free sample, you will need to agree to pay for the shipping and register for an auto shipment. I'd love to have you as one of my loyal customers. http://tinyurl.com/9c36q

No Free Lunch

No Free lunch

There was a Chemistry professor in a large college that had some exchange students in the class. One day while the class was in the lab the Prof noticed one young man (exchange student) who kept rubbing his back and stretching as if his back hurt. The professor asked the young man what was the matter. The student told him he had a bullet lodged in his back. He had been shot while fighting communists in his native country who were trying to overthrow his country's government and install a new communist government. In the midst of his story he looked at the professor and asked a strange question. He asked, " Do you know how to catch wild pigs?" The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch line. The young man said this was no joke."You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come everyday to eat the free corn. When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place where they are used to coming. When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the fence. They get used to that and start to eat again. You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in The last side. The pigs, who are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat, you slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd. Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught. Soon they go back to eating the free corn. They are so used to it that they have forgotten how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity. The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees happening to America. The government keeps pushing us toward communism/socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare, medicine, drugs, etc. while we continually lose our freedoms- just a little at a time. One should always remember "There is no such thing as a free Lunch!"

Eating Right.

I went to the doctor for my yearly physical.


My blood pressure was high, my cholesterol was high,


and I'd gained some weight.


My doctor said eating right doesn't have to be complicated


and it would solve my physical problems. He said just think


in colors; fill your plate with bright colors; greens, yellows,


reds, etc.


I went right home and ate an entire bowl of M&M's and


sure enough, I felt better immediately.


I never knew eating right could be so easy.



=================================


We had another good day in church today at TLBC.


My sermon was on "Unconditional Election" and the outline


is on the front page of our church website:


http://thelordsbaptistchurch.com/


Our Ireland Missionary family is due back from their trip to


Kentucky this Tuesday. My uncle LJ leaves early Wednesday


morning on Amtrak and the Ellis family will fly out of SeaTac


for Ireland that evening.


I'm presently communicating with a brother in Christ in the Ukraine.


Without giving a lot of details I'll just say that there is a good possibility


that I may be taking a trip to the Ukraine before the end of the year.


=================================


I haven't done much on my home biz in the last couple of weeks but that


is one of the nice things about it.
I STILL got a check in the mail anyway.
