It is not a pastor's job to pet the sheep. People demand the truth from their doctor, mechanic, pharmacist, contractor, politicians, spouses, and children. Why would we expect or settle for anything less from a pastor? - Jim Harris

"Isn’t it strange how a twenty dollar bill seems like such a large amount when you donate it to church, but such a small amount when you go shopping? Isn’t it strange how two hours seem so long when you’re at church, and so short when you’re at a ball game? Isn’t it strange that you can’t find a word to say when you’re praying but you have no trouble thinking what to talk about with a friend? Isn’t it strange how difficult and boring you think it is to read one chapter of the Bible but how easy it is to read 100 pages of a popular novel? Isn’t it strange how everyone wants front-row-tickets to concerts or games, but they do whatever is possible to sit at the last row in church? Isn’t it strange how we need to know about an event for church at least two weeks before the day so we can include it in our agenda, but we can adjust it for other events at the last minute? Isn’t it strange how difficult it is to learn spiritual things to share with others but how easy it is to learn, understand, extend and repeat gossip?" (Source: Ministry127)

Tozer, "The ideal Christian is one who knows he is free to do as he wills - and wills to be a servant."

Most of the times our "I can't's" are really "I won't" in disguise. @MikeTeets2 #StoriesFromTheSeats

So thankful for everyone who came out for our outreach today. Even though everyone seemed nervous about actively engaging our neighbors when we started (yes I could tell), everyone was so excited afterwards. This is how we reach our world for Christ. #Gointotheworld

Question: Can I be a Christian without joining the church? Answer: Yes, it is possible. It is something like being: A student who will not go to school A soldier who will not join an army A citizen who does not pay taxes or vote A salesman with no customers An explorer with no base camp A seaman on a ship without a crew A businessman on a deserted island An author without readers A tuba player without an orchestra A parent without a family A football player without a team A politician who is a hermit A scientist who does not share his findings A bee without a hive (Source: Encyclopedia of 7700 Illustrations, Paul L.

We are thankful for our fathers...

If you live in or around the La Monte, Missouri area we would love you to come out and visit with us on Sundays. 9:30 Sunday School, 10:30 Morning Service, and 5:30 for Sunday Night Bible Study.

Good morning world! Always remember and never forget, Jesus loves you! So much so that He died for you, and came back to life for you!

“Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:37‬ ‭KJV‬‬ http://bible.com/1/rom.8.37.kjv

"If the lesson you get from Jesus hanging with sinners is you should hang with more sinners, you're confused with who you are in the story." - R.C. Sproul Jr.

Amen to that!

“Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:4-5‬ ‭

Does the Bible manipulate your positions or does your positions manipulate the Bible? Do you search the scriptures to impose your view, or do you search the scriptures that it may influence your view? Do not boldly proclaim the scriptures are your final authority if it does not alter your positions? Truth never minds being tested, but tradition and error will raise a ruckus when tried! - Pastor Grant Hardwick

We are thankful for all our mothers.

Happy Mother's Day to all our ladies. We thank God for each one of you!

Amen!

Had a great time going out into our community passing out tracts and inviting our neighbors to church today.
