Are you a true WVian?

THE RULES OF WEST VIRGINIA ARE AS FOLLOWS:


1. Pull your droopy pants up. You look like an idiot.


2. Turn your cap right, your head isn't crooked.


3. Let's get this straight; it's called a "dirt road." I drive a pickup truck because I want to. No matter how slow you drive, you're going to get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way.


4. They are cattle. They're live steaks. That's why they smell funny to you. They smell like money to us. Get over it. Don't like it? Rt. 50 goes east and west, I-79 goes north and south. Pick one.


5. So you have a $60,000 car. We're impressed. We have $150,000 corn pickers and hay balers that are driven only 3 weeks a year.


6. So every person in West Virginia waves. It's called being friendly. Try to understand the concept.


7. If that cell phone rings while an 8-point buck and 3 does are coming in, we WILL shoot it out of your hand. You better hope you don't have it up to your ear at the time.


8. Yeah, we eat catfish & ramps. You really want sushi & caviar? It's available at the corner bait shop.


9. The "Opener" refers to the first day of deer season. It's a religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November.


10. We open doors for women. That is applied to all women, regardless of age.


11. No, there's no "vegetarian special" on the menu. Order steak. Or you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham & turkey.


12. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes: meats, vegetables, and breads. We use three spices: salt, pepper, and ketchup. Oh, yeah.... We don't care what you folks in Cincinnati call that stuff you eat... IT AIN'T REAL CHILI!!


13. You bring "coke" into my house, it better be brown, wet and served over ice.



14. You bring "Mary Jane" into my house, she better be cute, know how to shoot, drive a truck, and have long hair.


15. College and High School Football is as important here as the Lakers and the Knicks, and a dang site more fun to watch.


16. Yeah, we have golf courses. But don't hit the water hazards -- it spooks the fish.


17. Colleges? We have them all over. We have State Universities, Community Colleges, and Vo-techs. They come outta there with an education plus a love for God and country, and they still wave at everybody when t hey come for the holidays.


18. We have a whole ton of folks in the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines. So don't mess with us. If you do, you will get whipped by the best.


19. Turn down that blasted car stereo! That thumpity-thump crap ain't music, anyway. We don't want to hear it anymore than we want to see your boxers. Refer back to #1.



20. 4 inches isn't a blizzard - it's a flurry. Drive like you got some sense in it, and DON'T take all our bread, milk, and bleach from the grocery stores. This ain't Alaska, worst case you may have to live a whole day without croissants. The pickups with snow blades will have you out the next day.

Feeding the hungry by playing an online game

I found something yesterday that is amazing!!

How would you like to help feed the world's hungry while playing a game, while learning?

I found a way to have fun, and affect the world at the same time...

www.freerice.com

At FreeRice, you can play a vocabulary game. For each correct answer, 20 grains of rice are donated to the World Food Program. The rice is then distributed to those in need.

This might not sound like a lot of rice. However, the vocabulary game is fun and addictive. Your contributions will quickly add up.

Wondering where FreeRice gets the food to donate? The site is supported by advertisers. The advertising generates money to buy the rice. FreeRice is a non-profit organization. All money from advertising goes to help feed the world. You can learn more by reading the Frequently Asked Questions. www.freerice.com/faq.html

Now, the thing I like most about FreeRice is that it’s a win-win situation. In exchange for helping the hungry, you’re helping yourself. The questions can be quite challenging, so they'll improve your word power!

So, go there, see what level you can get to... I was up to level 40 yesterday, try to beat that!

Prepare your heart for Revival

How many needs the love of the Father, that He has placed in each one of us to share, and not to keep?
This video keeps speaking to me today....
Maybe you are like the girl...
Maybe you are like the snobs...
We all need forgiveness.... even me. God knows how much I ask him for forgiveness... I think I ask so much, that I have a speeddial button on my prayers!!!
Please, please watch it... and let God break your heart.

A DVD you have to see...


THE CHRISTMAS STAR
The True Story

Barry Setterfield discusses the historic and scientific evidence for the Christmas story.

The Birth: When was it?
The Wisemen: Who were they?
The Star: What was it?


This is A very enlightening study that every Christian needs to see... Barry does a great job of stripping away traditionalism, and replacing it with the truth of Scripture.

Have you ever wondered if December 25th is Jesus' actual birthday? Where did the Wisemen come from? Just what was the Christmas Star the Wisemen followed? Barry Setterfield uses Science and History to support the Bible.

Beginning in November, we as a church will look at these Questions using this DVD.

You can also own one of these DVDs! It will make a great Christmas present for friends and family...
Our homecoming committee is selling these for only $20 a peice.
For every one we sell, $5 goes to help support our upcoming church anniversary celebration...

So, Learn more about Christ, while giving a great Christmas present, all while supporting a ministry... what better use of $20 can you think of?!!

Top Ten Things...Never heard in church

10. "Hey, mister, get up! It's my turn to sit on the front seat!"

9. "Pastor, I was so blessed that I didn't even notice the service went over time by 35 minutes!"

8. "You know, I enjoy coming to Sunday School so much more fun than going fishing on Sunday."

7. "Oh, good! We have another missionary with us today!"

6. "Pastor, I'd like to volunteer to be the permanent teacher for the junior high Sunday School class."

5. "Yes, I would so appreciate having the opportunity to serve on the clean-up committee!"

4. "I just love singing choruses I've never heard before."

3. "Well, it seems the sanctuary is already filled, so let's just start the service early."

2. "Pastor, we would like to send you to the month-long Bible seminar on Maui."

And the number one statement nver heard in church is:

1. "Nothing inspires me like the annual stewardship campaign!"

"Amazing Grace..My Chains Are Gone" By Chris Tomlin

This is more beautiful than the original "Amazing Grace"
I know my next song to learn!!!
Amazing grace How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

My chains are gone I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, Amazing grace

The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures
My chains are gone I've been set free

My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, Amazing grace
My chains are gone
I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, Amazing grace

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbade to shine
But God, Who called me here below
Will be forever mine
Will be forever mine
You are forever mine

Do you know someone like this? Could this woman be named Paula?

After you watch it, watch it again, and pay attention to the guy on the right with the cutter...

Then at the very end, watch for some action on the left, toward the back of the room...

What a ringleader...


Is it me, or do they look like they are up to something...

Don't pick on a Korean...

Today's afternoon sermon, the annual sermon, was brought by Ken Miller, Pastor of FBC Weston. He preached on the need to not exact revenge on people, but to bless those who curse us. It went along with the theme of the convention this year which is Peacemaking... How to get along with your enemies....

Anyway, he told a story I want to relay to you...

There were these three men int the army stationed in Korea. They had a young Korean for a cook... These three men thought it was funny to play practical jokes on this young Korean. They would put vaseoline on the knobs on the cook stove, They would position pails of water over doorways so they would fall on him when he walked through the door... They would take his shoes when he was not watching and nail them to the floor...

One day, they felt bad for what they did, so they went to him to apologize...

The Korean said, "Let me get this straight... no more sticky to da stove?"
The three said... yep...

"No more wet on da head?"
The three said ... yep...

"No more "stucky to da floor?"
The three said ... yep...

The Korean boy.. .said, "GOOOOOD, NO MORE SPIT IN YOUR SOUP!!"


Gotta go, we just finished eating at Cracker Barrell, and we have to be back at church by 6:30...

The Dusty old shoes

I showered and shaved.............. I adjusted my tie.

I got there and sat.............. In a pew just in time.

Bowing my head in prayer......... As I closed my eyes.

I saw the shoe of the man next to me..... Touching my own. I sighed.

With plenty of room on either side...... I thought,

"Why must our soles touch?"

It bothered me, his shoe touching mine... But it didn't bother him much.

A prayer began: "Our Father"............. I thought, "This man with the shoes.. has no pride.


They're dusty, worn, and scratched. Even worse, there are holes on the side!"

"Thank You for blessings," the prayer went on.

The shoe man said............... a quiet "Amen."

I tried to focus on the prayer....... But my thoughts were on his shoes again

Aren't we supposed to look our best.. When walking through that door?

"Well, this certainly isn't it," I thought, Glancing toward the floor.

Then the prayer was ended............ And the songs of praise began.

The shoe man was certainly loud...... Sounding proud as he sang.

His voice lifted the rafters......... His hands were raised high.

The Lord could surely hear.. The shoe man's voice from the sky.

It was time for the offering......... And what I threw in was steep.

I watched as the shoe man reached.... Into his pockets so deep.

I saw what was pulled out............ What the shoe man put in.

Then I heard a soft "clink" . as when silver hits tin.

The sermon really bored me......... To tears, and that's no lie

It was the same for the shoe man..... For tears fell from his eyes.

At the end of the service........ As is the custom here

We must greet new visitors.. And show them all good cheer.

But I felt moved somehow............ And wanted to meet the shoe man

So after the closing prayer.......... I reached over and shook his hand.

He was old and his skin was dark..... And his hair was truly a mess

But I thanked him for coming........ For being our guest.

He said, "My names' Charlie.......... I'm glad to meet you, my friend."

There were tears in his eyes......... But he had a large, wide grin

"Let me explain," he said........... Wiping tears from his eyes.

"I've been coming here for months.... And you're the first to say 'Hi.'"

"I know that my appearance........."Is not like all the rest

"But I really do try................."To always look my best."

"I always clean and polish my shoes.."Before my very long walk.

"But by the time I get here........."They're dirty and dusty, like chalk."

My heart filled with pain............ and I swallowed to hide my tears

As he continued to apologize......... For daring to sit so near.

He said, "When I get here..........."I know I must look a sight.

"But I thought if I could touch you.."Then maybe our souls might unite."

I was silent for a moment............ Knowing whatever was said

Would pale in comparison... I spoke from my heart, not my head.

"Oh, you've touched me," I said......"And taught me, in part;

"That the best of any man............"Is what is found in his heart."

The rest, I thought,................. This shoe man will never know.

Like just how thankful I really am... That his dirty old shoe touched my soul

Redneck Baptist Church

You are in a redneck Baptist Church if…
* The finance committee refuses to provide funds for the purchase of a chandelier because none of the members knows how to play one.
* People ask (when they learn that Jesus fed the 5000) whether the two fish were bass, crappie or catfish, and what bait was used to catch ‘em.
* When the pastor says, “I’d like to ask Bubba to help take up the offering,” five guys and two women stand up.
* Opening day of deer season is recognized as an official church holiday.
* A member of the church requests to be buried in his 4-wheel-drive truck because “It ain’t never been in a hole it couldn’t get me out of.”
* The choir is known as the “OK Chorale.”
* In a congregation of 500 members, there are only seven last names in the church directory.
* Baptism is referred to as “branding.”
* There is a special fundraiser for a new church septic tank.
* Finding and returning lost sheep isn’t just a parable.
* High notes on the organ set the dogs in the parking lot to howling.
* People think “rapture” is what you get when you lift something too heavy.
* The baptismal font is a used dip tank donated by a farmer
* The choir robes were donated by and embroidered with the logo from Larry, Darryl and Darryl’s Barbecue.
* The collection plates were made out of hubcaps from a ‘56 Chevy.
* The pulpit committee asks prospective pastors questions about hunting dogs, shotguns, and deer rifles.
If you have Mens and Ladies out-houses behind the church (and its part of the pastor’s job discription to clean em)!
If there are gun racks on each side of the front door.
If the church has smoking and non-smoking sections in the sanctuary.
If the outcome of the NASCAR Winston Cup points standing causes a church split.
If church discipline means a trip to the woodshed!
…you have a NASCAR driver’s name on your prayer list.
…you have made change out of the offering plate.
…you left the baptismal pool a little warmer than when you entered it.
…you have trucks in your parking lot with recently killed deer in the back.
If the communion cup holders on the backs of the pews double as spit cup holders.
If the men come in their “dress” bib overalls.
…if church potluck announcements have to specify “no roadkill”.
…your John Deere hat matches your tie.
If instead of a bell, you are called to service by a duck call.
If the minister and his wife drive matching pickup trucks.
If the communion wine is Boone’s Farm “Tickled Pink”.
If “Thou shalt not covet” applies to hunting dogs, too.
If the final words of the benediction are, “Y’all come back now!! Ya Hear!”
So go out there and git-r-done for Jesus!, because Jesus Got-r-done for us!

Alan Jackson and working your way to Heaven...

Alan Jackson has a popular song... Maybe you recognize the lyrics....

Where I Come From

'Cause where I come from it's cornbread and chicken
Where I come from a lotta front porch pickin'
Where I come from tryin' to make a livin'
Workin' hard to get to heaven
Where I come from


Did you see that... "Workin' hard to get to Heaven" What?
You see this is the problem with the old fashioned, southern USA, country mentality....

The old thinking is this: If you are good enough, and work hard enough you will go to Heaven...

I have one word for that.... Hogwash!

If you were to die today would you go to Heaven?
If you were to die ten years from now would you go to Heaven?

The answer depends on whether you fully trust Jesus to get you there.
If you say, “I don’t know about 10 yrs from now… I might lose my salvation.” Or "If I am good enough" You are not fully trusting in Christ to save you, which is very, very dangerous.

If you are depending on getting to Heaven by what you do, or don’t do, you are basing your salvation on your works…
Those that base their salvation on their works will go to Hell..

Think about it like this…. If you could get to Heaven by yourself, why did Christ die?

It is only through his shed blood on Calvary that you can go to Heaven…
And only through trusting Him… faith… do you have access to the blood.

Eph 2:8-9: 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Do you see the NOT OF WORKS part?

If you are working yourself to Heaven, you are on your way to Hell…
Stop today… put your trust in Him… your whole trust.

It is the only way to save your life!

I hope Alan Jackson realizes this.

Are you looking for a perfect pastor?

OK, here he is....
The Perfect Pastor

Preaches exactly 20 minutes and follows it with an invitation in which everyone is convicted but no one is offended.

Works from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and serves as church counselor as well as janitor.

37 years old with 40 years of preaching experience.

He is paid $400 a week, and gives $100 back to the church.

Tall and short, thin and heavy set.

Hair is parted in the middle and is straight on one side and wavy on the other side, with a balding spot on top revealing his maturity. And grey all over.

Has a burning desire to work with teenagers and spends all his time with seniors.

He smiles constantly with a straight and sober face because he has a sense of humor that keeps him seriously at his work.

Spends 40 hours a week in sermon preparation, 20 hours in counseling, 10 hours in meetings, five hours in emergencies, 20 hours in visitation and 15 hours in evangelism, 6 hours in weddings and funerals, 30 hours in prayer and meditation, 12 hours in letter writing, and administration, and 10 hours in creative thinking.

Spends 5 evenings at home with his family, plus a day off, and always stops for interruptions.

Makes 15 visits a day to shut-ins and is always available in his office.

Spends all his time evangelizing the unchurched.

A seminary graduate, but uses only one- and two-syllable words.

His kids are perfect, his mother is rich, and his wife plays the piano.

His house is large, his bank account is small, and his car is in the shop.

He is paid too much but gives it all to the poor and wears nice clothes.

He is talented, gifted, scholarly, practical, popular, compassionate, understanding, patient, level headed, dependable, loving, caring, neat, organized, cheerful, and above all, humble.

If your pastor does not measure up to these criteria, send this list to six other churches that are also dissatisfied with their pastor. Then, bundle up your pastor and send him to the church at the top of the list. In one week you will receive 1,643 pastors. Surely one of them will be perfect. Have faith in this letter. One church broke the chain and got its old pastor back in three months.

Playing God

Why is it Christians wants to make up so many rules?

Don’t get me wrong, rules are important.
But there are some very legalistic Christians out there that only seem to be happy when they have a list of do’s and don’ts…

I personally think they are lazy Christians that don’t want to wrestle with Scriptures to let the Holy Ghost guide them. So what do they do? They let others make up the rules… It is just so much easier that way.
What are some rules that Christians have made up that are not in the Bible?Here are a few:

Must only use the KJV
Women must never wear pants
Men must not have hair on their face
Women must not cut their hair
Women must wear head-coverings
Christians cannot play cards
Christians cannot go to the movies
Christians cannot go to sporting events
Contemporary music is of the devil
We must sing only 300 yr old hymns.
It ain’t preachin if the preacher ain’t spittin

Now am I saying that a woman that believes she should wear dresses all the time is being legalistic…..NO, not at all. That is a conviction that she has, and should follow it.
For instance, we used to have friends that believed that a woman must wear dresses all the time in order to be right with God… When we went to visit them, my wife would wear a dress. The other woman never told my wife to, but my wife did it out of respect for her friend. Is it my wife’s conviction to wear dresses… no, she can dress modestly in jeans.

Another example: My wife’s grandmother believes that card playing is wrong… so when she would come to visit us, we would hide the rummy cards…. out of respect for her.

So when does it cross the line?When others take their convictions and make a list for others to follow…They are then playing God.

God says that he has written the law on our hearts. Why do we need man made lists then?The answer….If we can check off everything on the list, then we “feel” holy.That makes us feel good.And we can be proud that we are right, and others are wrong.But you see, pride is a sin too…

I want to challenge you to ask yourself why you hold to the standards you do.Is it because you have wrestled with them?Or did someone playing God come along, and enslave you to their convictions?

More later…

A Preacher's Week

How to prepare a sermon
I am sure we have all heard that a preacher only works one day a week…As a Pastor, I assure you that a man called by God cannot get everything done in one day that needs done!
I have also been asked how I prepare a sermon… and how much time it takes…To do it right it takes me about 10-15 hours a week for one sermon.The following describes what I usually do through the week to get my sermon together…
I usually know 3 to 4 weeks ahead of what text I am going to use…
I only preach one “sermon” a week..Wednesday evenings and Sunday evenings are Bible study. Both are very interactive in which I am teaching the church how to study the Bible.. we pick a text, and just have fun tearing it apart to learn from it.. some weeks we go 3-4 weeks on the same verse! The church loves this… and they are growing..
But…This is my usual sermon building week….
Monday (my usual day off, yeah right!! lol)- Pray, read, pray, re-read, pray re-read the text in my quiet time.
Tuesday Start picking it apart by words, context, cultural influence, other scriptures…read commentaries..other sermons..Etc…
Wednesday… devoted to Wednesday night bible study… but in the back of my mind, looking for illustrations from real life…
Thursday… Back to Sermon…. Outline the meat of the sermon… sometimes 3 (or more) pointer.. sometimes an acrostic… sometimes storyline if preaching on a biblical character..etc
Friday... complete outline with opening illustration and closing applicational illustration.. I also start putting together my powerpoint slides based on my outline…
Saturday… complete powerpoint with transitions, pictures, etc… Print out slides and go over with my son either Sat night, or early Sunday morning.. He runs my powerpoint while I preach away…
Sunday… Go over sermon early… make sure everything works… go to church, and watch the Holy Spirit work…Sunday afternoon… work on Sunday night Bible Study…But usually I just bring up a topic or text, and I never know where the church will go with it.. so I don’t prepare too much except to learn the definitions of the words, context, etc… This keeps me on my toes!

Thank God for e-sword.. I have it on the wall as we discuss the scriptures… so if we have a question I can’t answer, we dig into it…
Then on top of all this, I teach free guitar lessons at church, teach a Sunday School class, help direct our association’s youth camp this year, hospital visitations, other visitations… phone calls, (both pleasant and not so pleasant), emails (both pleasant and unpleasant), counseling, checking on people that miss a couple Sundays, getting my announcements together for the Bulletin, other administrative work, associational meetings, committee meetings, helping with the youth, events with the activity group, planning for the future events, making sure the church is staying true to it’s vision statement, plus all the other pastor duties that always need done!
For entertainment, I like TVland, and computers.
Could you imagine doing all of this in one day?
But we all know the preacher only works one day a week…

Some more...

Are you the Image of Christ?
When God finishes with us we will be the image of Christ.
Here are a few questions to ask yourself:
Are your eyes Christ like? Do you look at the same things Christ would? Do you look at other people the same way Christ would look at them? Do they see Mercy in your eyes? Or do they see hatred?
Are your Ears Christ like? Do you listen to Gossip? Do you listen to the things Christ would? Do you even listen at all… He that has ears, let him hear
Is your Mouth Christ like? Do you spread Gossip? Do you say words you shouldn’t? Do you control your tongue? Do you speak the words of Christ to others?
Are you hands Christ like? If you were to look upon Christ’s hands you would see scars left there by those nails… scars that now symbolize the Love He had for us…When others see your hands do they symbolize the love you have for them… IOWS, do you help others?
What about your feet? The Bible says that the preacher’s feet are beautiful…. {My wife disagrees} lol Seriously, the Bible says that because we use our feet to spread the gospel to the world…Do you spread the gospel while you are on the go?
These are just 5 areas in which we can become more Christ like…. there are many more areas… but I am convinced that if Christians would just master these areas the world would be a different place!


Su-she the fish
A Story…There once was aGoldfish named Su-she….(an exchange fish from Japan)Su-she never was satisfied…She always wanted more.You could feed her 3 times a day, and she wanted fed 4 times…You could buy her new gravel, and she wanted marbles…You could buy her a new house to put in her bowl, and she wanted the castle..But the one thing Su-she dreamed about…Was…Living outside that bowl!Day by day she watched people through her little glass window…They could walk from room to room,They could talk to each other..They could walk out the door..And she could hear them talk about going to the mall.And there she was…Stuck in a bowl…All she could do was swim in circles!AlthoughOn Sundays she would pretend she was her favorite NASCAR Driver,Tony Stewart…She loved the color of Tony’s Car!!And she couldn’t wait until Sundays…As the race was going on, she would pretend she was Tony…She would go around and around until she hit the side of the bowl!!! Then she would try to blame someone else!!!But ANYWAYOne day she devised a plan…
She heard her owners talk about going to the mall…So she thought to herself….”Today I am going to be a free fish!!!, no longer will I be shackled to this bowl full of water… If they can be free, I deserve to be free also… So when they leave…I am out of here!!”
Sure enough…Within the hourThe owners left to go to the mall…
Su-she thought to herself, “Here’s my chance!”
So she backed up as far as she could go into the lower corner of her bowl…Then as fast as she could, she swam towards the top of the water…Then….Up and out of the bowl she flew!!!Su-she felt the exhilarating feeling of flying for the first time in her life…
She began singing,
“Free at last, Free at last, Thank God almighty, I’m free at last!!!” But then…Ka plunk!!!Su-she hit the floor!!There she lay gasping for air!
And what she thought was freedom…Was actually Death!!!She forgot about one thing….
The Cat!!!
The lesson here: Sometimes we think life would be better “If only ________” (You fill in the blank)
But when we get what we think we want it is a whole lot worse than what we had.
Grass is not greener on the other side of the fence… it is an illusion!

Prayer
I can’t believe it has been this long writing a post!!I have got to write more…
But we have been busy at church.We have started a small group study on prayer on Tuesdays or Thursdays at 1 pm.We are using John Maxwell’s book, “Partners in Prayer”And we have seen a lot of prayers answered over the last 4 weeks…Cancers disappear, relationships healed, and church problems vanish…All because of prayer.
Prayer is powerful…
Praise God!!!!!
