Announcement For Our Friends

Hey Friends,

Thank you for stopping by to visit with us today. I hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday!

We know that many of you miss the weekly Word For Wednesday devotions Dad published for a few years. Mom and I miss them too! Thankfully, they are all archived on our YouTube channel! 

Several people have told me they have gone back to watch past episodes of Dad's devotions. If you are new here, I encourage you to check them out. Click here to visit our YouTube channel.

I want to share a very special devotional series with you by our friend, Pastor Brent Gabbard! Voices From The Valley is now available on YouTube!

Pastor Brent Gabbard of Bible Holiness Church in Elkton, Virginia, has shared a Tuesday devotional with the BHC church family for many years. Along the way, he started sharing it with close friends as well.

Our family has loved his weekly devotionals! Dad stronly encouraged Bro Brent to let the BHC digital media team post the devotions on their YouTube channel. Dad wanted others to hear the encouraging and challenging devotional series from our dear friend!

A few days ago Bro. Brent let us know he had made the decision to make the devotions public on YouTube. His decision came from the suggestion of the great BHC digital media team, and also to honor our Dad’s wishes!

Mom and I were thrilled! We were so happy, and we knew Dad would have been ecstatic! 

Bro. Brent thank you most of all for being an exceptional friend of my Daddy! Also, thank you for honoring him!

Two new videos were released yesterday on the BHC YouTube channel here. Episode zero is , here. It is an introduction to Voices From The Valley. There Bro. Bent tells about the history and vision of the weekly series. 

He gave Dad a wonderful shout out! When Mom and I watched the introduction, we were crying tears of happiness!

Episode one was also released yesterday. That is this week's devotion. You can find it by clicking here. 

I am only posting links to the episodes and BHC’s channel, because I want you to go directly there. A new episode will be posted every Tuesday. don't forget to subscribe to their channel.

I highly recommend Voices From The Valley! I believe it will bless and help you, as it does me! Please let them know that you came from Boggs Family Ministries!

I will close with this little reminder, Mom and I posted a new song to our YouTube channel this week. Thank you for the great feedback!

Thanks again for reading! I will see you tomorrow.

DRPC Kids Choir I Got Saved

 Hey Friends,

It is so good to see you on this beautiful Wednesday. I have a treat for you. Kids singing about Jesus makes any day great. 

Last night at church, our Kids' Choir sang so well. Their leader is Sis. Emily Roberts.

Emily works hard with them! Their hard work paid off. I was so proud of all of them!

They sang three songs last night. I captured all of this song on video. I hope you enjoy DRPC Kids singing I Got Saved.

Thank you for reading. See you tomorrow.

Jesus Paid It All

 Hey Friends,

Thank you for stopping by to visit! Here are some thoughts I can't get out of my mind. I hope they make sense when I type them out! I am extra grateful today!

God sent His only son, Jesus, to die on the cross. Jesus shed His blood to pay the sin debt of the whole world! Yet, He loves us individually. We are special!

All of us are sinners, and the only way that we could have paid our sin debt is by death. The Bible says the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God allows us to have eternal life. Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior! Jesus died in our stead! His selfless sacrifice allowed us to live a debt-free life!

The chorus of this old hymn has been running through my mind today. It is a great reminder: I was one stained with sin, but Jesus would wash me whiter than snow! I am no longer marked by!

Jesus paid it all

All to Him I owe

Sin had left a crimson stain

He washed it white as snow

Friend, if you do not know my Jesus like I do, please get to know Him today! He paid your sin debt, too! You can know what it is like to have your debt free and clear! Do not wait another moment! It is life-changing!

I can not end this post without saying thank you, Jesus, for paying my debt! I am eternally thankful! Words can never truly express my deepest gratitude. I want to take another moment to thank you for loving me!

I will see you all tomorrow!

God Won’t

 Hey Friends,

This is Odie checking for this Wednesday. Thanks for visiting with me. I may not have A Word For Wednesday video to post. I wish so much that I had a profound devotion from Dad!

I do have song lyrics on my heart today. These are phenomenal words penned by Jimmy Yeary and Sue C. Smith. 

This song was recorded by the Nelons before the tragedy that happened in their family this summer. It was realesed on their new project a few months ago. 

From the first time I listened to the project God Won't is my favorite track from the album. It is a timely song. 

Click the video below to hear this great song. I shared the lyrics below the video. Friend, hold on to this reminder. 

God Won’t

Sue C. Smith and Jimmy Yeary

Verse 1

People can look 

At where you come from 

Mistakes that you’ve made 

The damage you’ve done 

Count every wrong 

And decide that you’ve gone to far

Verse 2

Yeah people are good 

At being judge and the jury 

They’ll hand down a verdict 

Of guilty in a hurry 

Not one ounce of grace 

They’ll just walk away 

Chorus

But God won’t 

He ain’t a leaver

He’s a call out His name

And you know that

He’ll be there 

The world can say that 

You’re on your own

Your last friend 

Can leave you alone 

But God won’t 

Verse 3

No God won’t fail

And God won’t quit 

He can handle the fire

He’ll walk right through it

Let ‘them all turn their backs 

But just know that

Chorus

God won’t 

He ain’t a leaver

He’s a call out His name

And you know that

 He’ll be there 

The world can say that 

You’re on your own

Your last friend 

Can leave you alone 

But God won’t 

Bridge 

If you feel like His love 

Is to good to be true 

And He’s already given up on you 

Chorus 

But God won’t 

He ain’t a leaver

He’s a call out His name

And you know that

 He’ll be there 

The world can say that 

You’re on your own

Your last friend 

Can leave you alone

Tag 

But God won’t 

He ain’t a leaver

He’s a call out His name

And you know that

 He’ll be there 

Friends can leave you alone 

But God won’t   

Mom and have a tremendous group of family and friends that are helping us daily. I am amazed every day, when I see the help the Lord sends our way. Thank you each person that prays for us! We absolutely not alone. 

I am so thankful that God Won't leave us! We can face life because He is alway there! I am clinging to Him!

See you next time.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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!

There are times we do things because it is our duty. But doing your duty can make a huge difference in someone's life! Step up to your duty and do it faithfully. You may never know the full effect on the lives of others.

Thank you for watching.

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
