I HATE SATAN

I just had to say that... I hate satan.

He tears families apart.
He destroys lives
He seperates Christians
He tries to destroy churches...

And I can't wait until he is in the lake of fire burning, suffering, day and night forever and ever!!!

Sometimes I wonder if Hell is too good for that creature.

I just had to get that off of my chest.

Christians stay strong in the Lord.
Satan is trying to devour us...

He hates us.. He will do anything he can to destroy us.
He doesn't fight fair.

Remember though that in the end, WE WIN...

Did you read that Satan? YOU ARE A LOSER!!!!
For my LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, promised that your gates will fall, and we as Christians will be victorious! So stuff that in your pipe and smoke it.

About Me

My Conversion
I was born in 1969, and born again on June 11, 1978. After setting through a series of revival services at a local church I asked my dad how to be saved. He showed me passages from the book of Romans and led me in the sinner’s prayer. I was only eight at the time, but understood enough about Jesus to know I wanted to follow Him the rest of my life.

My Call to the ministry
I began feeling a call on my life when I was just a teenager. Even though I wasn’t sure exactly what God wanted me to do, I did know that God had plans for my life if I was willing to let Him use me. After high school, I attended West Virginia State College as a Communications major.
During my sophomore year in college I met my wife, Tabatha. We were married on November 22, 1989. She was, and still is, a wonderful Christian lady. Soon after this I gave up college due to overwhelming marital responsibilities. I believe God blessed me with a Christian wife so that she could be an instrumental part of my calling.
After entering the work force I slipped out of church and away from God. I was still a “Sunday morning Christian”, but I was not as close to God as I once was. Satan was telling me that I was doing my “Christian duty” by just going to church on Sunday mornings. It was my wife that kept going and eventually convinced me that I could not turn my back on God.
Around the summer of 1994, I began feeling God calling me, not only to draw closer to Him, but also in to the ministry. I fought God’s calling until the spring of 1995 when I rededicated my life to Him. I announced my call into the ministry on May 28, 1995. I preached my first sermon on June 11, 1995 at Hurricane Baptist Church, Clio, West Virginia. One teen came to the altar that night to be saved. I seen that as a stamp of approval from God. I also found out, ten years later, that another girl, that was 10 years old, had went home that night crying, under conviction, and asked her dad how to be saved. She told him that, “That Tim Barnhouse said something that made me want to be saved.” What a blessing it is to hear of stories like this and to know that we all make differences in people’s lives, although we may be unaware of it.
In retrospect, I regret not answering God’s call as soon as I began feeling it. I cannot imagine not being a preacher and not being able to lead people to the one that can change their lives. I thank God for giving me this chance and privilege to serve him

Preparation for the work of Ministry
After surrendering to the call of ministry for my life, I began preparing for all that God wanted me to be and do. I grew up in a Christ centered home. We would have regular Bible study, and prayer. My father was a Baptist minister and I remember setting in on discussions with him and his friends from time to time. So I was fortunate to have a good theological foundation upon which to build. It seems the more I know about Christ the more I realize I don’t know enough.

This is a list of my Christian education:
1) Sunday school classes (from nursery to present)
2) Youth group
3) Different correspondence classes while I was a child/teen
4) Bible study classes/ small group Bible study
5) West Virginia State College; Communications major
6) A few classes from Andersonville Baptist Seminary (I didn’t find the classes challenging enough)
7) West Virginia School of Christian studies-
8) After Graduation from WV School of Christian Studies, I will then attend Palmer University (formerly Eastern Theological Seminary), through their extension program. (Hopefully, beginning fall, 2009)
9) Last, but not least, my own personal studies and experiences. I am a scholar at heart, and will always have a thirst for more education.

My life verse...
Mat 6:33
(33) But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

My future plans...
