Ephesians 5:1-12

“1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;

2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.

3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;

4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.

5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.

7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.

8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:

9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)

10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.

11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.”

Praise ye the Lord!!!

Isaiah 57:15

“For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.”

Lord willing, Bro. Gene Kiger will be here with us to start a week-long revival meeting. We look forward to this time every year because it seems like as we get closer to the end of the year we need reviving spiritually before the beginning of winter. Especially this being an election year here in the USA, people seemed to be more stressed or depressed than usual because of all the craziness going on between the presidential candidates.

We do not tell our visiting speakers what to preach. That is between them and the Lord. But, we are very careful of who we invite to fill our pulpit. As the pastor here I am very picky about the men we invite. Some outside our congregation may think I am too picky. But, there are men we trust to preach the truth and others whom we do not trust. There are men who have proven over the years they will preach from the Word of God and there are others who have been known to preach their own thoughts and feelings or the thoughts of other men. As a Landmark Sovereign Grace Missionary Baptist Church we seek the truth and expect that from the men who we invite.

A time of revival should be a special time for a church. It is meant to be a time of reviving of the spirit by the Lord and a time of reminding us of who we are and whose we are. If we truly seek revival we must humble ourselves and seek the face of our Lord and repent of our sins. It is only then that He will revive us.

Praise ye the Lord!!!

“6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.”

Praise ye the Lord!!!

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

“9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.”

Praise ye the Lord!!!

Philippians 3:13-16

“13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.

16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.”

Praise ye the Lord!!!

Romans 11:33-36

“33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?

35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?

36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.”

Praise ye the Lord!!!
