God Still Has It All In Control

Hey Friends,

It is Wednesday, I don't have A Word for Wednesday for you. I I do think it would be fitting to post a video featuring Dad. 

This was originally posted to our blog and YouTube in February 2021. This is a song from a service in Livingston, Texas. This was recorded at the Beech Creek Assembly with Pastor Don Goodwin.

On this particular Sunday, we were not scheduled to be in Texas. I believe God ordained for us to be in the service. This is just one of the ways that God showed us He was indeed in control!

One week later Covid forever changed our lives. Dad and I were diagnosed with Covid for the first time the following Sunday, January 31, 2021. Dad never fully recovered from Covid and the many health problems that followed after that. One thing we never forget and never will: God is in control!

This powerful service has never strayed far from my memory since it happened. I am so grateful that it was caught on camera and recorded. We forever have the memories with us! I went back last night and rewatched this video. I wanted to hear, in particular, the message that came from God during this song!  It gave me great solace, even now. 

Wow, there was no way we could know what the future held for our family. But God was speaking to us even then! Today, I hold onto his promises. I trust that He still has it all in control!

Please take time to watch this video. Also, I will post the link to the post Dad wrote about this day on the blog himself. It is worth rereading!


Click here to see Dad's February 5th 2021 blog post. 

Thanks for visiting with me! See you tomorrow. To quote Dad, "Ciao for now."

A Word For Wednesday, A Perfect Prayer For Perilous Times, Boggs Family Ministries

We are happy to bring you 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.


Jude gives us a horrific picture of the apostasy of the last days. But first, he offers a prayer for those of us who live in that apostasy. This prayer is perfect for our perilous times. Jude 1:2 Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied. Wow! What an amazing prayer! May God grant us mercy that we desperately need and peace that passes all understanding and wrap us in the love of God that never fails! And the key to that prayer is for God to multiply all of that! God does not add to us, He multiplies His goodness and His attributes in our lives! Praise God!

Thank you for stopping by today.

A Word for Wednesday, How Deeply May I Drink?

We are happy to bring you 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.


Philippians 4:19 And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. God will supply All your needs. We seem to relate this mostly to money, but God's storehouse contains much more than money. God's riches contain peace, joy, forgiveness, deliverance, love, compassion and millions of other wonderful things for you and you can drink all you want! God has given you the whole glass and you may drink as deeply as you desire.

Thank you for stopping by today.

A Word For Wednesday, Condemned Or Completely Cleansed?

We are happy to bring you 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.


We live in condemnation and fear because of our sin. We can not escape detection. We can not hide.

Luke 8:17 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither [any thing] hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.

We can live in that condemnation or we can live in freedom. We can be forgiven, set free and completely cleansed through Christ.

I John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

This story vividly demonstrates that nothing can be hidden forever!
Do You Know This Nail?
Clarence McCartney, The Wisest Fool, Page 39
 

Thank God for the cleansing power in the blood of Jesus!

A Word For Wednesday, Lowering Your Stress Level During Election Season,

We are happy to bring you 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.

In the USA, we have a presidential election soon.

Like all presidential elections in the USA, the outcome is critical to our future. With so much at stake, it seems that we could find better candidates than we normally do. Of course, I do not want the job and I imagine most people with much sense, do not want it either.

As in most elections, there is substantial division among the people. People are passionately for or against and anger boils over near constantly on the subject of the presidential election, especially as it approaches.

The hate is extreme!
And the stress can be overwhelming even if you would like to ignore it all. I want to quickly share six simple truths about elections that can lower the stress level during election season.

Thank you for watching.

A Word For Wednesday, A Sermon From An Atheist (An Atheist I Agree With)

We are happy to bring you 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.


Today I offer you a soul-winning sermon inspired by an atheist. He says among other things,

"How Much do you have to hate somebody to believe everlasting life is possible and not tell them that?"
Wow! That is a statement from an atheist I can wholeheartedly agree with. Sounds like a Christian with a genuine concern for lost souls.

As a favor to me, please share this with others. Thank you.

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


We are happy to bring you 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 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 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 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 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.


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

Thank you for joining us today. We are so happy to bring you 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.


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

Thank you for joining us today. We are so happy to bring you 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.

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

Thank you for joining us today. We are so happy to bring you 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.

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.
