For Cave Dwellers

“There is no escape for me; No one cares for my soul” (Psalm 142:4).

David was beaten all the way down. Everything he counted on was now out of his life. There was no where else to look, but up, for David was at a critical juncture of his life. And when he looked up, cried out, God was there.

When you and I decide not to walk away, God will make sure you know He is there. No matter if you feel as if you are in a cave God will climb into it with you. Better yet, He is already there. How unusual for God to work in your life or in my life, but He does.

  • The warning siren is heard across this world.

    KMBC Family and Friends,
    Let us realize that we are living in the last of the last days. It’s as plain as it can be. The warning siren is heard across this world.
    Satan is the god of this world system . He is in rebellion against his Creator. Our Education system, government, media, politics, are ran by Satan. It’s all coming unglued.
    This world system is in rebellion against God’s authority and it is passing away. Remember that God said it would be like this! It has to happen! The sewage of the flesh (the self-centered life) is continually spewing out of the hearts of men. God’s people are different.
    We are not worried about the so-called climate change. What we are concerned about are the souls of men who have never been born of God. We are called to preach the Gospel of the Good News. We are essential to our Lord and so are others upon us.
    Are you born again? Here are 9 Vital Signs from the Book of I John that give Airtight Assurance of salvation. A saved person will exhibit all of the 9 vital signs in their life, not one or two, or a few. All will be present in varying degrees if one has eternal life.

    1. Vital Sign #1 – You have communion with Christ (I John 1:1-4).
    2. Vital Sign #2 – You are dealing with sin by grieving over it and confessing it (I John 1:5-2:22).
    3. Vital Sign #3 – You are committed to obey God’s Word ( I John 2:3-6).
    4. Vital Sign # 4 – You love other believers and have compassion for them
      ( I John 2:7-11; 3:14-18; 4: 7-21).
    5. Vital Sign # 5 – You have a change of affections. You no longer love the world but love the world to
      come. You love God, others, church, the Word of God (I John 2:12-17).
    6. Vital Sign #6 – You comprehend the truth in God’s Word (I John 2:18-27; 4:1-6).
    7. Vital Sign #7 – You are conforming to the image of Christlikeness (I John 2:28-3:10).
    8. Vital Sign #8 – You are in conflict with the lifestyle of the world (I John 3:11-13).
    9. Vital Sign #9 – You pray and have confidence in prayer ( I John 3:19-24; 5:14-15).
      Tell your family that this is what a Christian is. There are many who are religious but lost. Many are deceived. Matthew 7:21: “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of God, but he who does the will of My Father in Heaven.”
      Church is more essential more than ever. As the days grow darker God’s people shine brighter. Jesus, the Bright and Morning Star, will appear at the darkest period to rapture His people out of this world. Are you ready? Are your children? Your family? Your neighbors? Your coworkers?
      If you need further instruction, please know I’m available!
      I love you with the love of the Lord,
      Pastor Don
  • Is the coming of Jesus for His church soon?

    People of God,

    If we are His friends then He desires for us to know some future events that affect us and will effectively work in us.

    We will be studying the 24th chapter of Matthew for our series of the “Hope-Filled Olivet Discourse”. We will learn the future for the nation of Israel and for the church.

    Is the coming of Jesus for His church soon? We will look and study God’s Word and prepare for Him. What about four of His disciples who asked Him for future events? Who were they? Why is it called the Olivet Discourse?

    Would you care to know that what is taking place with so many who are not studying the Word of God nor desire to do so? What does the Word of God say about those who are not Christian at all?

    Who are the Nationals taken away at the catching away of the church? Can we know when He is coming? Can we know when the second coming of Christ will take place? We have abundant truths in God’s Word. Are there signs of His coming?

    What does the rebirth of Israel say to us? All of what we will be looking at will be eye-opening.

    Join us and sober up! He is coming soon!

    Pastor Don

  • That Name! Jesus!

    December 2019

    That Name! Jesus!

    There’s no other name as great as the name of Jesus. Names are most important especially when you move into the world of the Bible. It is in this context that God put a face on Himself and called His name Jesus. God’s only begotten Son came into the world of names. Names such as Adam, Abraham, Ahab, Abner, some good names, others bad in character.

    The Bible says of the Lord Jesus, “Thou shalt call His name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins” (Matthew1:21). I remember our youth carrying that banner down Main Street in Graham one Christmas holiday season along with all kinds of floats, people, and animals. I felt so good about that name and prayed as we carried the banner that others would love the Name that loved them.

    Remember to take that name, Jesus, with you this Christmas Season. This child born on Christmas Day is both God and man! As man, He was born and shared in sinless human nature. As God, He was given-the Father’s love-gift to a sinful world. This child would be God in human flesh. That is amazing!
    And He died in our place for the glory of the Father!

    One day all will bow at the feet of Jesus. Men should bow now and shall bow then. All creation will bow and kneel before this blessed Name. I pray that if you don’t know that Name that you will find His Name in your heart of hearts. Let’s share the Name that all Heaven sings about and rejoices over this Christmas season. May we share that name, bear that name, and wear that name so that all the world would know that His name is Wonderful!

  • Four Important Truths

    There are four important truths to learn:

    1. Take God seriously

    He is the Sovereign God of the universe. He is not the man upstairs or the good guy next door. From the day of our conception to the day of our death we are to hold Him in awe.

    1. Believe His Word

    We have the mind and heart of God in print. Many paid a great price to hand it off to each of us. He is honored as we read and heed His message from His own lips that are breathed out in print in our own language. The Word changes us to His truth.

    1. Confess Sin Quickly

    Get your minds off of the evening news or any news that would preoccupy you. It’s a fog that can disillusion you from the real world. Yes, be in the know, but do not allow your life to be accumulating sin. Confess and walk with God under a full sun.

    1. Refuse All Hypocrisy

    Be who you are and not who others will you to be. Find your identity in the Lord Jesus Christ. Keep yourself off of the pedestals of this world or even your own world. Humble yourself under the mighty hand of God. We are accountable to Him.

  • Eastern Shore and Ocean City, MD. Mission Trip

    Maryland Mission Pic of Group
    Last year we began to pray and to seek God’s face. We sensed God’s good hand in leading us to the Eastern Shore of Virginia. With much prayer and waiting in faith, our God supplied us with eighteen team members, three Spanish translators, the funds, and the love to head north.

    The teams divided to accomplish more. The two teams were involved in VBS at Red Bank Baptist Church in Marionsville, Va., and the VBS Migrant ministry in Cheriton, Va. Five days of sharing the love of Christ through song, teaching, giving, and testifying were very rewarding to all.

    Two mornings we headed up to Ocean City to work with a ministry called Son`Spot and with Randy Hoffman, a Sand Artist. The team spoke with many European Students who would drop in for breakfast supplied by Gary and Cathy of the Sonspot Ministries. We spoke with them and learned of their cultures and also shared the Lord Jesus with them. Many were receptive. We also distributed several hundred gospel tracts up and down the boardwalk.

    On Thursday the team shoveled and displaced sand and built a foundation for Randy Hoffman to form his new sand art. The other team prepared food for an evangelistic dinner that afternoon.

    Check out the Sand Art on RandyHoffman.com. While you are looking that up, view the ministry of Sonspot.org/. It was a lot of work but each night we laid our heads down in quiet assurance that God was meeting needs in us and through us.

     

  • H.E.A.R. method of reading God’s Word

    KMBC Family,

    The H.E.A.R. Journal is one of the best methods I know in getting to know the God who loves you. As you connect with your church in reading the Scripture together on a daily basis, you will find that after your reading, meditating, and journaling, you can find prayer better and more effective.

    • Learn to Highlight the verse or verses that God is using for that day.
    • Explain the verses in the context of what the writer is saying.
    • Apply the Scripture to your life and what God is saying to you.
    • Respond to God in praise, thanksgiving, repentance, or in action toward
      someone.

    Use the H.E.A.R. Method of reading the Word and allow the Word to get into you and for you to get into the Word.
