A Word For Wednesday, Commitment And Dedication, Boggs Family Ministries

A Word For Wednesday, Commitment And Dedication, Boggs Family Ministries

We are happy to bring you A Word For Wednesday. A few moments ago I posted A Word for Wednesday on our YouTube Channel. Please watch and leave us a comment here or on YouTube.

Anything worth doing is worth making a commitment and having the determination to see the thing through. I am thankful that men were determined to risk their lives to form our nation. They were absolutely imperfect and even flawed men but they made a commitment and they determined to follow through.

That, along with many other men and women inspire me to make a firm commitment to Christ and determine to live my life in His service.

Thank you for stopping in today.

A Wordless Wednesday, KJo Jam, Nothing But The Blood and Are You Washed In The Blood

We are so happy to bring you A Word For Wednesday. A few moments ago I posted A Word for Wednesday on our YouTube Channel. Please watch and leave us a comment here or on YouTube.

While in Thomasville we knew we would be parked in the country this week and had yet to determine if we would have enough signal to load a video. We recorded and uploaded in Thomasville to be sure we did not miss a week. It is a good thing we took care of it last week because signal is limited here.

This is our first A Wordless Wednesday of 2024. KJo is playing Nothing But The Blood and Are You Washed In The Blood. I appreciate Kelly Jo stepping in to help me. I had forgotten about the possibility of A Wordless Wednesday until I was struggling with allergies for a few days and my voice was affected.

We hope you enjoy A Wordless Wednesday and share it with your friends and family.

The Weekend Dispatch 9/9/24

Friday we had lunch once more with Steve and Karen. It was wonderful to see them. Hopefully, we will see them again before leaving the area. Saturday we unhooked everything, pulled the bus in position and hooked up the Jeep. It was only 63 miles to our destination and less than 90 minutes.

We are at Camp Meeting out in the woods at St. Thomas with Pastor Eddie Stringfellow but we are parked a few miles away at Sims Chapel Holiness Church. Pastor Willie Long Jr. invited me to park here when we were at this meeting last year and we took him up on the offer for this week.

We parked at Cedar Creek Church last year and we love to park there. But this saves us at least 45 minutes each round trip and that adds up quickly.

Saturday evening we loaded some sound equipment in the Jeep so it would be ready Sunday afternoon.

Sunday we attended Sunday School at Sims Chapel, ate a quick lunch and then took a limited amount of sound equipment to the tabernacle and hooked into their system Sunday afternoon. We also had a great visit with Bro and Sis Stringfellow.

Bro. Kenny Morris is the night speaker this week and we are singing but I was scheduled to preach Sunday night. It was wonderful to be preaching outdoors again. I did not realize how ready I was for it. I love preaching under a tent and the outdoor camp meeting tabernacle is about as close as I can get!

For some reason, last night's pictures posted in reverse order. Use your imagination.😇

Thank you for dropping by.

A Word For Wednesday, We Have The Power to Change The Story, Boggs Family Ministries

Thank you for joining us today. Tonight is the last night of revival in Thomasville and each service has been wonderful so far. We love being in revival and I am thankful that God has helped us. We will have pictures of revival tomorrow or Friday by God's grace.

We are so happy to bring you A Word For Wednesday. A few moments ago I posted A Word for Wednesday on our YouTube Channel. Please watch and leave us a comment here or on YouTube.

Pastor Bill Parks preached from the book of Jonah recently and his premise blew my mind.

Bro Parks said IF Jonah had obeyed God, the whole book would have been ten verses long. But Jonah added much trouble to his life because of disobedience! If we will obey God instantly He will bring great things to pass and we will avoid so much trouble in our lives by simple obedience. Here is how the book of Job should have read. Two verses in Chapter One 1 Now the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, 2 Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me. And eight verses from Chapter Three. 3 So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey. 4 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown. 5 So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. 6 For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. 7 And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water: 8 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands. 9 Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not? 10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.

A Word For Wednesday, They Had No Right to Win. But They Did!

Thank you for joining us today. We are so happy to bring you A Word For Wednesday. A few moments ago I posted A Word for Wednesday on our YouTube Channel. Please watch and leave us a comment here or on YouTube.

They had no right to win. But they did!

I am building on last week's A Word For Wednesday. Can I say this friend? You have no right to win but you can!

"They had no right to win. Yet they did,

And in doing so they changed the course of a war

Even against the greatest of odds,

There is something in the human spirit

A magic blend of skill, faith, and valor

That can lift men from certain defeat to incredible victory."

The odds were against Gideon and Israel and God keeps manipulating the odds against them until they are in an absolutely horrible position. There is no way for them to win and God says that is just right!

Thank you for stopping in today.

A Word For Wednesday, They Say You Can't Do It!, Boggs Family Ministries

Later this morning, there will be a second Mile Marker with pictures from Tuesday Night of Dryden Rd. Indoor Fellowship Meeting.

Thank you for joining us today. We are so happy to bring you A Word For Wednesday. A few moments ago I posted A Word for Wednesday on our YouTube Channel. Please give it a listen and leave us a comment here or on YouTube.

A Word For Wednesday, They Say You Can't Do It!, Boggs Family Ministries

The devil says, the devil's crowd says, they say You will lose, but God says you can do it!

The Battle of Midway June 4-7, 1942 demonstrates there is hope for the underdog. I love this quote about the Battle of Midway from Walter Lord. "They had no right to win. Yet they did, And in doing so they changed the course of a war Even against the greatest of odds, there is something in the human spirit A magic blend of skill, faith, and valor

That can lift men from certain defeat to incredible victory."

Thank you for dropping by.

A Word For Wednesday, Don't Quit Singing, Boggs Family Ministries

The children of Israel were defeated and in despair and they could not sing even though they were known by their song. They had lost their joy and they quit singing.

Psalm 137:1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. 2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. 3 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion! 4 How shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?

They were dragged away from home and could not sing! They lost their joy and quit singing! Saints of God, we as God's children are known by our song. We can not lose our song. Don't quit singing!

Thank you for stopping by today.

A Word For Wednesday, A Word Fitly Spoken, Boggs Family Ministries

Proverbs 25:11 A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.

Our words spoken at the right time and in the right spirit are beautiful in the lives of those we encounter.

In today's A Word For Wednesday, I rehearse a story communicated by Rabbi Shais Taub as he related an interview with a forensic psychologist he read in the New Yorker Magazine. It demonstrates the amazing power of a word fitly spoken.

Thank you for spending a few moments with us today.

A Word For Wednesday, The Gift Of Gratitude, Boggs Family Ministries

You are not gifting another person anything when you are generous in gratitude toward them. Your genuine gratitude will be the biggest blessing to you!

One of the signs of the last days is an epidemic of unthankful followed by unholy. May God help us strive to have an attitude of gratitude in our lives.

Today I tell the story I originally read in The Man Who Forgot by Clarence Macartney of two Generals on opposite sides of battle that allowed kindness and gratitude to prevail in their personal lives.

Thank you.

Revival Memories, Summer Revival and A Word For Wednesday

Thank you very much for watching A Word For Wednesday each week and the current Summer Revival Series. It is always nice to have you with us AND to hear from you as well.

It is kind of strange to realize that we are in the fourth year of producing A Word For Wednesday. I never dreamed that I would have anything left to say when I began In January 2021. There are some weeks that I feel like I have exhausted every possibility and then my mind opens to a whole treasure trove of Biblical insight and stories that stir me spiritually.

I reckon I will continue until the well of my mind goes completely dry. I think I have another week or two in me.😍

We have really enjoyed the Summer Revival Series the last several weeks and we hope to run through July and maybe a week or two into August. It has been wonderful to get back to the roots of our YouTube Channel and the ten weeks of revival in 2020.

The link above will take you to the playlist of those 61 services and below is the very first service.

We had no idea what we were doing. We had begun the YouTube channel in the previous 48 hours and we were learning on the fly. However, we wanted to be instruments of revival and we were doing it the only way we could think of at the time.

It worked out pretty good and we were spiritually blessed because of it. You may notice that Odie's voice is included during the first three weeks of revival but she is not physically present. We are having church in her garage and she is in the house using a cordless microphone and in-ear cordless monitor to hear us.

Kelly and I had been exposed to Covid the week before in Australia and we had been cautioned by the Australian government to self-quarantine for three weeks. That is exactly what we did. This was the first service where Odie joined us in person 21 days after we returned to the US and the 18th night of revival.

It was a very uncertain time in the world but God gave us revival in the middle of it. We will always look back fondly on those days. Even though Covid beat up on me pretty badly in 2021 and is still affecting my health three years on, it can not kill revival.

Thank God for revival then and thank God for revival now, Thank you for joining us too! We plan to crank up again tomorrow evening at 8:00 Eastern.

Thank you for stopping by today.

A Word For Wednesday, The Hill of Difficulty, Boggs Family Ministries

A story today from a man named Christian in the book Pilgrim's Progress. He faced the hill of difficulty on his journey to the Celestial City. Every person who starts toward Heaven will face difficulty and they will be offered opportunities to turn around or compromise. We must determine we are going to make it!

To go back is certain death, I must go forward! I will yet go forward.

Thank you for reading and watching today.

A Word For Wednesday, Don’t Condemn Me, Is That What The Bible Says?

A Word For Wednesday, Don’t Condemn Me, Is That What The Bible Says?

A common phrase today is Don't Condemn Me! There is no condemnation for me. I am in Christ so you have no right to condemn me. The idea is I can live however I want and do whatever I want. I am not under condemnation. But is that what the Bible says?

It does say

Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus

But we must read the rest of the text!

Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

We are in Christ, walking in the Spirit and not walking in the flesh and the devil has nothing on us! It does not give us liberty to do anything we want to do and forbid anyone to correct us or teach us.

A Word For Wednesday, Ask, Seek, Knock, Boggs Family Ministries

Prayer is vitally important in the lives of Christians and in the effectiveness of our churches. Jesus told us to ask and to seek and to knock.

Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? 10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Hallelujah! Christ said we will receive, we will find and the doors of heaven shall be opened! Please allow me to exhort us today to be people of prayer! Saints of God, let us be a praying church!

A Word For Wednesday, The Blessing In The Thorn

I am speaking today about another song that has shaped us. The Blessing In The Thorn. This song is drawn from Apostle Paul in II Corinthians12

A Word For Wednesday, The Blessing In The Thorn

7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.

9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

The Blessing In The Thorn Lyrics I read about a man of God who gloried in his weakness And I wished that I could be more like Him and less like me Am I to blame for what I'm not? Or is pain the way God teaches me to grow? I need to know When does the thorn become a blessing? When does the pain become a friend? When does the weakness make me stronger? When does my faith make me whole again? I want to feel His arms around me In the middle of my raging storm So that I can see the blessing in the thorn I've heard it said the strength of Christ is perfect in my weakness And the more that I go through, the more I prove the promise true His love will go to any length It reaches even now to where I am But tell me once again When does the thorn become a blessing? When does the pain become a friend? When does the weakness make me stronger? When does my faith make me whole again? I want to feel His arms around me In the middle of my raging storm So that I can see the blessing in the thorn Lord, I have to ask You On the cross You suffered through Was there a time You ever doubted What You already knew? Hmm When does the thorn become a blessing? When does the pain become a friend? When does my weakness make me stronger? When does my faith make me whole again? I want to feel His arms around me In the middle of my raging storm So that I can see the blessing in the thorn Oh, I want to see the blessing in the thorn

A Word For Wednesday, We Must Stand For Truth

A Word For Wednesday, We Must Stand For Truth, Boggs Family Ministries

We are bombarded by challenges to the truth that is proclaimed in God's Word. Will we allow the truth to fall in the streets? A thousand times NO! With love, grace and compassion we must stand for the truth.

Martin Luther said, If I profess with the loudest voice and clearest exposition every portion of the Word of God,

-Except precisely that little point which the world and the devil are at that point attacking,

-I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be professing Christ.

-Where the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier is tested

-To be steady in all the battlefields besides is mere flight and disgrace, if the soldier flinches at that one point.

I hope you enjoy A Word For Wednesday. Thank you for dropping in.

A Word For Wednesday, He Was Talking To Us!

When Jesus said, go ye therefore into all the world

He Was Talking To Us!

I have said this for years and I stand by it

Every church that is not doing something purposeful to win souls is not doing much

But Dr. Charles Edward Maddry said,

The church that is not interested and actively at work in sending the gospel story to other people has no right to exist.

Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen.

Acts 1:7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Go, ye therefore!

Go ye therefore and teach all nations

Go teach and baptize in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost The Holy Ghost shall come upon you

You shall be witnesses unto me All over the world

He Was Talking To Us!

Thank you for stopping in today.
