Thank you for joining us today. I am preaching this week under The Blue and White Gospel Tent. While preaching the other night, I was overwhelmed by the Joy of Salvation.
I was overwhelmed by the Joy I was receiving as I was preaching about Salvation.
I was overwhelmed by the Joy the recipient of salvation was about to receive.
The congregation was overwhelmed by Joy watching others receive salvation.
AND
I was overwhelmed that God experiences such Joy when we accept His gift of salvation.

It was said of Caleb in Joshua 14 ...that he wholly followed the LORD God of Israel.
According to Strong Concordance that phrase paints a picture in Hebrew that says he lived His life under a full sail!
A sailor with the right knowledge and equipment can use the wind to sail in almost any direction he desires. Caleb did not use God's power to go his own direction. He put his sails all the way up and went wherever God blew him. He lived his life under a full sail!
He wholly followed the Lord! Wholly, completely and without reservation Caleb followed the Lord!

Acts 27:21 But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.
22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship.
V. 25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.
I believe God! I refuse to put my trust in everything I see around me. I refuse to trust in all the emotions inside of me. I trust in only what I believe and I believe God!
We can trust God, friends. I encourage you to believe the Word of God! Thank you for watching today.

In mid-July I posted A Word For Wednesday with excerpts from a book by Oswald J. Smith called The Man God Uses. He prayed on his 38th birthday and asked the Lord to make him and man after God's heart. That prayer changed his life and I believe it will change our lives too.
The second chapter is the title chapter. In that chapter, he discusses eight essential things that every man that God uses all have in common. It is good stuff.
1. The man that God uses is the man that has but one great purpose in life.
2. The man that God uses is the man that has removed every hindrance from his life.
3. The man that God uses is the man who has placed himself fully at God's disposal.
4. The man that God uses is the man who has learned to prevail in prayer.
5. The man that God uses is the man who is a student of God's Word.
6. The man that God uses is the man who is the man that has a vital living message for the lost world.
7. The man that God uses is the man of faith that expects results.
8. The man that God uses is the man that works in the anointing of the Holy Ghost

Today is our second recent installment of A Wordless Wednesday recorded partially at St. Anne's Chapel in Kennebunkport, Maine.
It is time for A Wordless Wednesday. Today we have a special piano treat for you from Kelly Jo. Kelly Jo is playing a bit of My Hope Is Built on the keyboard at Bethel Revival Center and then we sing some of the same song at St. Anne's Chapel next to the Ocean in Kennebunkport, Maine. Included are some pictures from St. Anne's Chapel.
The singing was the first take and is by no means perfect, but I hope you enjoy.
Now, here are a few pictures from Fellowship Meeting last night.

My dear friends, it is important for us to know Christ and to believe that He is the son of the Living God, God in the flesh, God with us. To believe that He is created is to believe heresy. A mere man, no matter how good, could not redeem humanity. He purchased us with his sinless sacrifice on Calvary
According to scripture, the son of God who made the world laid aside the glory of Heaven, took upon himself human flesh, was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, bore the sins of the whole world on the cross and rose victorious over death, hell and the grave.
We are warned in scripture that satan would try to pollute the Gospel and destroy the message. He has had much success in his pursuit. Many religions declare that Jesus was only a man created by God. Some Christian groups today declare the same thing.
But Christianity has always believed with Peter that Jesus Christ is the son of the Living God, God in the flesh, God with us! That is why it is important what we believe about Christ!

Matthew 22:41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he?...
Who Christ is and where He comes from is critical to our salvation. The Pharisees were completely aware that Christ was descended from David, but they could not understand that He was also David's Lord. How can this be?
Matthew 16:13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
Peter got it and he received his understanding from the Father. Yes, Christ is descended from David, but He is also the son of the living God. He is God in the flesh, God with us.
If Christ is created, If Christ is not God, we are not saved

Tuesday we visited Plymouth, Massachusetts and Plymouth Rock. A Word For Wednesday is taken from the thoughts and emotions concerning Religious Freedom the visit stirred up. I hope you enjoy.

Today I am reading and speaking from the first chapter of a book by Oswald J. Smith. The book is The Man God Uses and the chapter title is A Birthday Prayer. Oswald J. Smith prayed this prayer on this 38th birthday, Lord, make me a man after thine own heart. That prayer changed his life and I believe it will change ours lives too.

Paul is clearly telling the Christians in Ephesus and us that we should be prepared to use faith as a defensive weapon.
Ephesians 6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
We are able to quench the fiery darts of the enemy by believing the promises of God. Faith is a tremendous offensive weapon, believing God to take new ground. However, it is also incredibly effective when we are backed against the proverbial wall. The shield of faith. I believe God!

We are saved by grace and grace alone. Salvation is not of ourselves. We know that or at least we ought to know that. Our part is to believe and Christ will do the rest. Christ will reconcile us to God.
Yet, might there be something we can do that will give God better access to our lives after salvation? I believe the answer is yes. I believe that God has had a clear path to my life, at times, because I opened myself to Him and welcomed God to help Himself to whatever part of me He wanted.
Here I am, Lord, send me! Here I am, Lord, do with me what you will!
Kelly Jo and I made some right decisions early on and a few timely decisions at perilous points along the way. That allowed God access to us when we might have closed Him out otherwise.
I want God to have complete access to me. I want Him to have my will, my mind and my heart.

All of us have so many things on our plate. If the kids are OK, the car is breaking down. If the car is OK, the blood pressure is high. If our body is fine, the boss is acting crazy, if the boss is groovy, the roof is leaking. We all have so many things in life that consume us.
But most of the things that consume us are temporal. Paul points us to the real focus of our fight in Ephesians 6. Our fight is not physical, it is spiritual. Let us focus our energy on fighting where the real battle is.
I hope that makes sense. It makes sense when I say it to myself. Thank you for reading and watching today.
We have been traveling Monday and Tuesday and I have not been able to record A Word For Wednesday. We are stopped for the night Tuesday, but we do not have enough signal to get it loaded now and I am not moving another mile searching for phone signal or internet.
I had already loaded another video, but had not scheduled it. I am making that video available for you today instead. It is NOT A Word for Wednesday or anything close, but hopefully, you will have mercy on me.
This is a four minute video introducing Boggs Family Ministries. Most of you coming here today do not need an introduction to our ministry, but I am interested in what you think about it, good, bad and ugly.
We were asked by a church for a short video introducing our ministry including information about revivals, tent revivals and mission work in Nigeria, West Africa. We produced that for them and the Pastor was pleased with it.
I expanded it with a few more pictures in this video. It also serves as a thank you to everyone that has helped us work in the ministry of evangelism in the US and internationally. May God bless you all!

Today I have a true story of a young lady that was willing to do whatever it took to get to Jesus. Dorcas pulled herself across the dirt and the grass to make her way to the altar to get saved in Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria in 2009. She as saved and is still saved today.

Let's talk again about God's Impeccable Timing. I have a true story today about a man named Bill Murry in Kentucky getting saved in the one and only church service he ever attended. It was an awesome night demonstrating God's perfect timing.
I had been planning the revival for 7-8 years and the revival was held right after Bill was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. God was there right on time.

below I have listed the 50 Reasons Why I Don't Drink directly from the original article.
By Jamie Morgan on January 23, 2017
1. I can't be sober-minded if I'm not sober.
2. Alcohol has an assignment: destruction.
3. Alcohol is a depressant. Anything that depresses should be avoided at all costs.
4. I don't want to make my brother or sister stumble in the name of exercising my "Christian liberties." My choice to drink could lead to someone's demise.
5. Alcohol skews my judgment.
6. Alcohol leaves me worse, not better.
7. What I do in moderation, my children will do in excess.
8. Even the unsaved know I shouldn't drink. Bible in one hand, beer in the other — any lost person could point this out as a confusing contradiction.
9. Alcohol doesn't bring others closer to the Lord when they see me drinking, but further away.
10. Alcohol doesn't bring me closer to the Lord when I drink, but further away.
11. I want to be fully awake and ready for the return of Christ, not drowsy, sluggish, or hung over.
12. Show me a family for whom alcohol has made a positive difference in their lives. You won't be able to.
13. I have never heard anyone say, "Wow, that gin and tonic made me feel so Christlike!"
14. I want to avoid all appearances of evil.
15. Alcohol makes it much harder for me to practice the fruit of self-control.
16. Alcohol causes me to lose my filter.
17. Alcohol is a legal mind-altering drug.
18. Alcohol is addictive.
19. Alcohol is a numbing agent for pain and sorrow only Jesus can heal.
20. Many regrets are associated with alcohol. (I can give you a whole bunch!)
21. No one has ever said, "If only I had taken a drink, things wouldn't have gotten out of control."
22. Alcohol causes me to act in ways I normally wouldn't.
23. Alcohol kills brain cells.
24. Alcohol is a counterfeit and provides a false peace.
25. The Bible says that no drunkards will enter the kingdom of God. Being drunk starts with one drink. I don't want to see how far outside the lines I can color when eternity is at stake.
26. Alcohol is a waster — money, gifts and talents, destinies, and so on.
27. Alcohol leads to really bad behavior. It is a factor in 50 percent of violent crimes.
28. Alcohol distracts and derails you from living the victorious life for which Christ died.
29. Wisdom is the principle thing that I need to pursue at all cost; alcohol makes me stupid.
30. Alcohol has ruined many, many marriages.
31. The only influence I should be "under" is God's.
32. The Bible tells me to be alert; alcohol delays my reaction time.
33. If I don't start drinking, I'll never have to stop.
34. Alcohol severely tarnishes my testimony.
35. Don't want your teenagers to drink? Yep, same reasons apply to you.
36. God is holy; alcohol is not.
37. Alcohol and prayer don't mix.
38. Alcohol and Bible study don't mix.
39. Alcohol lowers my resolve to resist temptation.
40. Alcohol = Brokenness (broken lives, health, dreams, and so on)
41. When the world sees us drinking, it sends the message that Jesus isn't enough.
42. Moderate drinking? How about moderate pornography or moderate heroin use or moderate lying or moderate adultery?
43. Christians are called to live a life of total surrender and separation from the world.
44. Alcohol makes me forget. It can make me forget that I am married, that I am saved, and so on.
45. "I don't get drunk. I only have one or two drinks." If they didn't affect you, you would drink soda.
46. I should never look to the glass or bottle for joy, which can only be found in the Lord Jesus Christ.
47. Alcohol fills my mind with impure thoughts.
48. If it could hinder my faith walk or love walk or dishonor the lordship of Jesus Christ, I need to forsake it.
49. Alcohol doesn't help me run the race that Jesus has marked before me to finish with more accuracy. It does the polar opposite.
50. For any argument that tries to justify Christian drinking, there are at least 50 other reasons not to.
The writing is on the wall. It's not God's best for Christians to drink.
