Author: Good Morning to all of you in NBC blog land,
Please keep praying for Miss Carol, she is getting better but new concerns have come up.
Of course, Bro Walfred needs our prayer and the family as they go through this trying time in their life.
Don’t forget our fast on June 30 or July 2 for our annual Stampede Sunday BBQ and outreach July 5 with Dr Williams, souls saved, and building.
“Do It” Till it’s Done
As I read I Chronicles 28:10 and 20,
Take heed now: for the Lord hath chosen thee to build an house for the sanctuary: Be strong, and do it.
And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do it:…
I see a certain aspect of firmness between King David and his son Solomon. King David was very concerned about the Temple being built. He invested so much in preparedness for this great building that he had great passion for it’s completion. I believe that our Christian character involving following through with things in our life is so important to us as well as important to our Saviour. To start the right thing is vital but to complete it is very vital. An uncompleted task that is righteous is just as sinful as not starting a righteous task. You and I will never complete a godly task if we don’t first start one.
We have started good goals in our life and never completed them. We have promised to do things we have only half finished. We have claimed victory when only we have ran the race half way.
This morning let us ask the Holy Spirit about our failures in our commitments that have been unfulfilled to their completion. Let us just “do it” till it is done. Let us do the tasks that are before us to their utmost. Focus on each job to their final finale’.
The checkered flag is waved only when the last lap is finished and the car crosses the line. Let’s “do it” till it’s done!
God Bless You All during our God given day,
See you this evening

Hello My Fellow Laborers in NBC Blog Land,
Here are the fasting dates for our Stampede Sunday and Dr. Williams, June 30 or July 2, your choice.
All fathers get a free gift this Sunday. Invite a father.
Do Not Give God Your Burdens, Joy Them
Philippians 4:4 “Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, rejoice”.
I Thessalonians 5:16 “Rejoice evermore”.
Colossians 1:24 “Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you…”
James 1:9 “Let the brother of low degree rejoice…”
I Peter 4:13 “But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ sufferings…”
These verses are a tremendous help when we are in our hour of need. My natural thinking would be for the Lord to take all my woes away and let me have some peace of mind in my hour of need. When I suffer I would like for God to take my cares away.
Here is the problem, I cannot find in the Bible that God would do this. A matter of fact I honestly see a total opposite of what I want to think or see or feel. I see that the Lord wants us not to figure out why I have a burden or am suffering but to rejoice in suffering. There is no passing the burden over to God so that I can make it. We are to rejoice while in it.
Here is why. In I Peter 4:13; we are partakers of Christ’s sufferings, we are carrying our cross as Christ carried his. We do not need to rejoice or even need God when all is well or when things are going fine. We need God when life gives us suffering.
Partakers of Christ is telling us that these burdens and sufferings in our life come from Him and not from our sin or foolishness. We are suffering for righteousness sake or for the sake of Christ. He’s molding us, making us, refining us to totally rely on Him and rejoice while we go through it.
Don’t try to figure out how you can get out of suffering, just rejoice while in it. As Paul said; rejoice evermore for your sufferings are coming form God!
I Love You NBC

Hello NBC Blog Land,
Just a reminder about those going to our Soul winning Marathon.
Dress appropriately with soft cushion shoes for endurance.
The team leaders are Bro Edwin, Shane, Tony, Jim, Derek, and Sammy. We will divide everyone on Saturday morning.
We will rendezvous at Kinsmen Park, South Entrance as soon as we arrive in Strathmore.
Do not waste time talking about why the Catholic Church is so wicked. Frivolous conversation just wastes time.
Spend 15 to 20 seconds waiting for someone at the door and if no one comes move on but leave a tract, This is so you can put more time in someone that is getting saved than someone wasting your time.
NOTE: Please do not leave half drunk water bottles lying around unattended at the park. Drink all what you take! No wasting or dumping on each other.
We are planning for God to bless and see many saved. Let’s give it all, work hard, keep moving, and give God the praise on Saturday.
Pray like it all depends on God, work like it all depends on us.
Matthew 10:15,16
“Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves”.
Our theme for our marathon is to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. We are sheep in the midst of wolves. Let us out smart the enemy and gain the victory for our LORD. To out smart the enemy is do not be side tracked or veer into another waste conversation. Satan would love to have you enter into a conversation about why the swine flu has hit a dreaded level or why the sky will fall next week. Let us stay on the purpose we are there for, that is for the Gospel’s sake.
As Bro Jim mentioned Thursday evening: Be kind, friendly, smile, compliment, and be courteous but remember this is not social time it’s Gospel time during our Marathon!
Thank you for you commitment to this church, your Pastor, and to our Lord – The King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
I love you,
Preacher

Well good morning NBC blog land.
I AM THE HAPPIEST PREACHER IN CANADA - I HAVE A CHURCH THAT IS OBEYING GOD.
WE SAW 11 SAVED LAST NIGHT AND MET MANY FRIENDLY PEOPLE WHO WOULD VISIT THE CHURCH. I AM THANKFUL FOR EVERY ONE OF YOU WHO MAKE AN EFFORT TO ATTEND EACH WEEK AND PAY A PRICE.

I AM PUTTING THE FINAL TOUCHES ON OUR SOUL WINNING MARATHON. PLEASE KEEP PRAYING THAT GOD WOULD OPEN DOORS OF GREAT BLESSING AND OPPORTUNITIES TO SEE SOULS SAVED IN THIS TOWN.
I NEED YOU THERE ON JUNE 13 @ 9:00AM AT CHURCH.
IN JOHN 9
WE SEE A BLIND MAN FROM BIRTH SITTING AND BEGGING FOR FOOD AND MONEY. WE KNOW BY CHRIST’S TEACHING THAT HE WAS BLIND SO THE WORKS OF GOD SHOULD BE MADE MANIFEST IN HIM.
I WONDER THIS MORNING IF THERE ARE ANY SET BACKS THAT GOD HAS PLACED IN OUR LIFE TO JUST SIMPLY GLORIFY HIM. WE THINK IT IS A PAIN, A TRAGEDY, A WASTE, OR EVEN BECAUSE OF SIN. I REALLY DO NOT KNOW WHY GOD DOES WHAT HE DOES BUT I KNOW THIS, THAT GOD DOES WHATEVER HE WANTS TO DO TO GLORIFY HIMSELF SO OTHERS WILL SEE HIM!
WITH THIS IN MIND, ARE WE ALLOWING GOD TO BE GLORIFIED IN US? CAN OTHERS SEE HIM IN TIMES OF PRESSURE, IN TIMES OF SORROW, IN TIMES OF NEED IN OUR LIFE. YOU SEE GOD CAN BE GLORIFIED IN OUR DAY OF PAIN WHETHER OR NOT HE HEALS US OR NOT. THE REAL FOCUS IS NOT THE HEALING, THE REAL FOCUS IS CAN I WITH ALL MY BURDENS TRULY ALLOW GOD TO BE SEEN, GLORIFIED, HONORED, LOVED, CHERISHED, AND PRAISED.
HEALING IS SECONDARY, TO GLORIFY HIM IN OUR PROBLEMS IS PRIORITY!
I LOVE YOU NBC
