GOSPEL LIGHT BAPTIST CHURCH, SALISBURY, NC.

SATURDAY EVENING WAS ONCE AGAIN ESPECIALLY ENJOYABLE AS GOSPEL LIGHT PUT ON THEIR ANNUAL WILD GAME DINNER. I HAVE BEEN PREACHING AT THESE NOW FOR OVER THIRTY YEARS BUT NEVER HAVE I SEEN SO MUCH WILD GAME AND SO WELL PREPARED. WHATEVER A HUNTER WANTED, IT WAS ON THE TABLE. EVERYTHING FROM VENISON TO SHEEPS HEAD TO TURKEY TO WILD BOAR SALAD TO FRESH BEAR TO SQUIRREL STEW TO ?????????????. SMILE. WELL ATTENDED BY MEN FROM SEVERAL CHURCHES.

THEN ON THE LORD'S DAY WE ENJOYED THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD IN ALL THREE SERVICES, SUNDAY SCHOOL, MORNING WORSHIP AS WELL AS EVENING. THE LORD HAD ME ADDRESS A SENSITIVE SUBJECT IN THE MORNING SERVICE, THAT OF CREMATION. THERE ARE NO CHRISTIANS IN THE BIBLE WHO WERE CREMATED, ONLY THE HEATHEN. THERE IS NO SCRIPTURE ALLOWING FOR THIS HEATHEN PREACTICE. MANY WELL MEANING CHRISTIANS ARE DOING THIS BECAUSE IT IS CHEAPER. IT MAY BE CHEAPER BUT ONE HAS NO SCRITPURE FOR SUCH A PRACTICE. SOME CHOOSE TO CREMATE A LOVED ONE BUT WITH NO BIBLICAL BASIS. MANY WERE ELATED THAT THIS HAD BEEN ADDRESSED AS QUESTIONS HAD ARRISEN FROM " FRIENDS WHO HAD BEEN CREMATING RATHER THAN BURYING THEIR LOVED ONE'S." REST ASSURED I HAD THE PASTORS NOD OF APPROVAL BEFORE PROCEEDING.

GRACE BAPTIST CHURCH, PHILADELPHIA, PA

GREAT START ON SUNDAY, EXCELLENT ALTAR CALLS, MARVELOUS SINGING ESPECAILLY BY PASTOR. MONDAY EVENING WE WERE BLESSED WITH SEVERAL VISITORS. PASTOR AND I VISITED A MAN MONDAY AFTERNOON AND INVITED HIM. HE THEN INVITED HIS NEIGHBOR WHO CAME WITH HIM. THIS INVITED MAN WAS A VIETNAM VETERAN WHO WAS SAVED IN THE SERVICE. WHAT A BLESSING TO SEE HIM AFTERWARD TELLING FOLKS ABOUT HIS SALVATION. THERE IS NO DOUBT ABOUT THE GREATNESS AND WONDER OF OUR GOD. WE ARE VISITING ANOTHER MAN TODAY IN HOPES OF GETTING HIM TO COME AND PRAYERFULLY PRAYING THAT HE TOO WILL BE SAVED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND CONCERN FOR THOSE LIVING WITHOUT THE LORD JESUS - WE MUST GET THEM SAVED AS THE TIME IS SHORT!

IN PHILADELPHIA FOR MEETINGS!

STAYING AT THE HOLIDAY INN IN BEN SALEM. SPOKE WITH MY NEIBHBOR THIS MORNING WHO HAD HIS SON'S CAR, HIS CAR AND HIS WIFES' CAR ALL THREE TIRES REMOVED DURING THE NIGHT. I AM GLAD THAT I DID NOT HAVE A CAR TO PARK BUT AM BEING PICKED UP THIS MORNING BY PASTOR VANHOOSE. OUR COUNTRY IS GETTING WORSE AND WORSE. PRAY WITH ME FOR GREAT MEETINGS THIS WEEK, THAT SOULS WILL BE SAVED AND THE SAINTS OF GOD REVIVED. HOW DOES ON GRIEVE AND RIOT FOR PENN STATE WHEN ALL THIS FILTY MESS HAS BEEN KNOWN SINCE 1998? IT IS A CAGE OF FILTYY BIRDS! AND, SHOULD HAVE BEEN CLEANED ELEVEN YEARS AGO WHEN IT FIRST SURFACED.

WORTH BAPTIST CHURCH, FORT WORTH, TEXAS

ABSOLUTELY ONE OF THE BEST AND MOST EXCITING GOD AND COUNTRY DAYS WERE EXPERIENCED AT WORTH BAPTIST CHURCH ON SUNDAY THE 6TH OF NOVEMBER. PASTOR WEAVER AND HIS STAFF DID IT UP RIGHT - EXCELLENT SINGING, EXCELLENT CEREMONY WITH EXCELLENT RESULTS.

A LARGE GROUP OF VETERANS WERE RECOGNIZED WITH A MEDLY FOR EACH BRANCH OF SERVICE PLAYED WHILE THEY STOOD BEFORE THE CHURCH BODY. BETWEEN FOUR AND FIVE HUNDRED FOLKS ATTEND WORTH WITH (I THINK MOST OF THEM THERE ON THE MORNING OF THE 6TH). IF EVER YOU FIND YOURSELF IN THE DALLAS/FORT WORTH AREA BE SURE AND ATTEND WORTH BAPTIST AS THIS IS A FIRM AND SOLID FUNDAMENTAL BAPTIST CHURCH WITH SOUND MUSIC THAT MINISTERS THE GRACE OF GOD WITHOUT A PERFORMANCE AS WELL AS PREACHING THAT ONE CAN HARDLY FIND IN THESE CLOSING DAYS OF GRACE.

THIS WAS THE FIRST MEETING OF THE YEAR AND CERTAINLY WAS AN ANSWER TO PRAYER FOR A WONDERFUL WEEK OF REVIVAL. THERE WAS FIVE (PERHAPS FOUR) PROFESSIONS OF FAITH ON THE LORD'S DAY. THE OLD FASHIONED ALTAR WAS FILLED EVERY NIGHT. PASTOR CORY HAS BEEN THE PASTOR FOR THREE YEARS AND IS DOING A MARVELOUS JOB. THE CHURCH IS IN A WONDERFUL LOCATION WITH GREAT VISIBILITY AND FILLED WITH EQUALLY GREAT PEOPLE. I CANNOT REMEMBER WHEN I HAVE ENJOYED A MEETING ANY MORE THAN THIS ONE. PASTOR AND I HAD SOME VERY GOOD VISITS DURING THE WEEK. I WILL BE BACK IN 2013!
