'Come, the banquet is ready.' But they all began making excuses. One said, `. . . Please excuse me.' http://bible.us/Luke14.17.NLT

Excuses are like a nose, everyone has one. Be careful you are not so full of excuses that you miss the Lord's opportunity.

Interesting statistic.

For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened. http://bible.us/Luke11.10.NLT

Child of God shamelessly seek God. He desires your best. Pray for the harvest. Lord save your people!

Then Moses said to the Israelites, "See, the Lord has chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills— He has filled them with skill to do all kinds of work as engravers, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen, and weavers—all of them skilled workers and designers. http://bible.us/Exod35.30.NIV

May we use our Spirtual Gifts for the Lord. The Spirit gives gifts as He sees fit. God is the same today, yesterday and forever.

Finally, stopped. Day is done. Tomorrow is Kimball from 11am to 10pm. I enjoy the day visiting in Kimball. Will be teaching from Proverbs. Pray for strength and endurance. Also pray those seeking the Lord. May God lead me to those seeking Him.

Yes, he humbled you by letting you go hungry and then feeding you with manna, a food previously unknown to you and your ancestors. He did it to teach you that people do not live by bread alone; rather, we live by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord . http://bible.us/Deut8.3.NLT

Our God will provide. We stuggle with the faith we need to trust in all things. Really we just want more, different things, than God desires for us. God knows better. He will provide in our hunger. Let us hunger after Him.

"Listen, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. http://bible.us/Deut6.4.NLT

And no one after drinking old wine wants the new, for they say, 'The old is better.'" http://bible.us/Luke5.39.NIV

Pray for new wine. No more good old days. Let have new great days.

Jesus answered them, "Healthy people don't need a doctor—sick people do. I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners and need to repent." http://bible.us/Luke5.31.NLT

I had a great yesterday in Kimball. Spending time people that Jesus would spend time and is.

Bethel Baptist Church: Stats

Bethel Baptist Church: Stats

Joseph of Arimathea took a risk and went to Pilate and asked for Jesus' body. (Joseph was an honored member of the high council, and he was waiting for the Kingdom of God to come.) http://bible.us/Mark15.43.NLT

Joseph took a risk. Take a risk for Christ today. Go to someone you have not ever talk about Jesus to and share Christ. Be a RISK TAKER for Christ!

Inside, the leading priests and the entire high council were trying to find evidence against Jesus, so they could put him to death. But they couldn't find any. http://bible.us/Mark14.55.NLT

May we not be so religious that we miss the Savior.

Need I say more. Be alert! Be ready! Is this what I want to be doing when Jesus returns.

Leaving Benkelman after a great Associational Meeting. Challenges were issued to pray for the places of light, to be involved in Disaster Relief, pray for student ministry at Chadron State College, be evangelistic and increase our baptisms. As an Association we can baptize 100 believers this year. Bethel is planting seeds and God will bring the increase. We have baptized 6 this year and have two wanting to be baptized. God is at work. I want to be used by God for eternity, how about you? Plant!

New favorite young driver. Go Trevor!!!!

But he was sad at this word, and went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions. What do we chose over Jesus? I am so greatful for His grace. His call is radical. He calls come follow. While it is today, follow Jesus. http://bible.us/Mark10.22.NKJV

I had a great time with the Jimenez today. Wonderful menudo! Leonor is a great cook. God is good! I can't wait for Sunday. What else will God today and rest of week?

Thank you Lord for saving me. Thank you calling me. Give me today the opportunity to plant seeds. I would love to be used in your harvest. Amen!

Where is the passion for the church? Ephesians 5:25 NKJV says "just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her." We give our energy to so much, many of them good. Where is the passion for the the church?

Thank you for all who will be praying during this weekend. We are embarking not on a moment of prayer but a life time of serving the King of kings and Lord of lords together. He has great plans for you and His church. We begin the adventure of community. WOW! What would God do if our priorities and lives were in step with him. Is there something deep inside of you that longs to break free from the status quo? Are you hungry for the real deal, a faith that makes a difference in our world's problems (even our community's)? God is calling us to a passionate love relationship with Himself. The answer is not to work harder at a list of do's and don'ts - THE ANSWER is FALL in LOVE with Jesus!! When you are wildly in love with someone, it changes everything. I will be praying that each of us hear God's passionate invitation to be in love with HIM during our time of prayer.

"Pray the largest prayers. You cannot think a prayer so large that God, in answering it, will not wish you had made it larger. Pray not for crutches but for wings!" Phillips Brooks.

He must alter our lives. If we are not willing to change direction can we really expect to walk with God. "We must alter our lives in order to alter our hearts, for it is impossible to live one way and pray another."William Law

Attached is a list of verses to assist your prayer time today. If you are not going to the church for your prayer time you might want to print. Prayer is not just talking to God but listening!

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out into all the earth, ther words to the ends of the world. -- Psalm 19:1-4
