What a blessed day the Lord Hath made!
We had 5 saved and 27 out soul winning, Amen
Our ladies arrived safely to Great Falls, MT and immediately began shopping for His glory. The conference starts today with Dr Schearer and the Walker Family at 3:00PM.
May they have a blessed time and a safe return.
Charity
I Timothy 1:5
“Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and faith unfeigned:”
Three active ingredients that are necessary to truly have godly charity.
A pure heart, a good conscience, and faith unfeigned. All three are very necessary in having true charity.
1). A Pure Heart: This is a heart that desires purity. Do you desire purity? Are you on the path of a pure heart? One that eschews evil. Hates sin, loves the sinner. Do you have a tendency of overlooking your sin? Charity requires a pure heart.
2). Good conscience: This is a conscience that seeks good, holiness, and purity. Do you have a clean conscience? Are you living honestly and with integrity? His best for Him. Are there things in your life that promote a bad conscience? Are there rooms that are dark and unattended to in your heart? A good conscience is necessary to a heart of charity.
3). Faith Unfeigned: Faith that is sincere and being used in your daily life. Faith used last year is not enough, you must have faith that is being used today to achieve charity.
These three are such important ingredients for the work of charity. Charity comes from a heart that is actively pursuing Him. Trying to pursue charity first only leads to frustration and then failure. We must pursue our Lord, the out come will be charity. Only this way will love be lasting. This will give charity to others which lead to our purpose.
Charity never fails!

Good morning to all in blog land of NBC.
Through the stewardship banquet we raised in promise giving the following amounts:
Missionaries: 7,346.00
Other: 3,556.00
Building Fund: 1,200.00
_____________
Total: 12,102.00
Now lets us fulfill and honor the offerings we promised.
PRAISE GOD
GLORY TO GOD!!
“Be Fulfilled”
I am still rejoicing about our Tuesday night stewardship banquet at Imperial Dynasty with Bro Corniciucs. What a time we had. The Lord is so good to us that He knows exactly what we need. There is nothing like being around God’s people and having the lasting enjoyment of being refreshed in the Lord which lasts for days after a Christ centered activity. The Spirit of God out lasts the spirit of this world. The enjoyment of this world is so shallow and so empty that it lasts only for a short season.
As your Pastor I want to clearly say I love everyone of you. I love to be around you. When we work for His glory and honor. I so enjoy the work we do together and the ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ. When the Apostle Paul said to Archippus in Colossians 4:17 to “take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfill it”. We need to complete or fulfill the work He has given us to perform. Let us complete tasks that are given to us to their completion.
I want NBC to be known to complete the tasks of our Lord Jesus Christ in every area that we put our hands to. In our personal life we have so many obligations to complete. We have our walk with God, we have our parental duties, we have our spouses, we have our Sunday School teaching priorities, we have our homes to clean, we have our jobs to focus on in the world, we have our church duties. These all need to be done with earnestness and to completeness. We also now have to fulfill the added task of our pledges.
NBC let us fulfill His tasks and desires so we will be fulfilled.
God Bless All and Thank You

[NBC Blog] The Three Beware
Good Morning,
This is a beautiful day that the Lord hath made, let us rejoice as we live today in such a forgetful way to our flesh.
Another great evening of soul winning. We had 36 out and 10 saved. I am so thankful for our people who want what God wants in seeing people saved. May God bless you as we press forward. The total this week so far of people getting saved is 21.
54 last month. Amen!
The Three Beware
Philippians 3:2
“Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision”.
We will take a little different direction this morning. I want to explain the three warnings Paul tells us to beware. “Beware”, are emphasized due to the Philippi church listening to these three groups of people. Their influence was sadly evident and Paul noticed it.
Beware is a word that stresses to look with a wide eye gaze. We are to behold or stand alert to what these individuals stand for and refuse their influence upon us.
Now Paul speaks about the three bewares of what we should be alerted to.
First we are to beware of dogs. These dogs Paul is referring are not literal dogs but spiritual dogs. What are dogs? They are those who hold others in reproach for their own inaction. This means that these people were likened to dogs because they could not be lead. They could not submit to the authority given by God, the pastor. They basically did their own thing in their own time. They never got under the umbrella of authority in the church. They never could be placed in any position because they think a different way. They think like a wild dog. They spend their time on useless things. They leave and come as they please, they have no master, they wonder, they live off the spiritual life of others. Many times they are full of excuses for their lack of commitment. Paul says beware of these people. If you are not careful these people will rub off on your sold out Christianity. They accomplish nothing.
Secondly we see we are to beware of evil workers. This word evil means worthless. Paul speaks of evil workers as worthless workers. Workers that do not walk with God. Workers that are not reproducing themselves. Workers that are a drag to others and to God. They really don’t get it. They are constantly down in the mouth. Nothing good to say but has something to say about everything. They just don’t want others to achieve or succeed for the Lord. They accomplish nothing for His Kingdom .
Thirdly and lastly, Beware of the concision. Now this is a very interesting word. It is a word that we get, “To amputate”. Paul is referring to those people that want to amputate people out of church. In our day it is like kicking people out of church. We want to amputate them so that we will have a clean church. How sad and how far we have come to think that people, lives, are like trash. Paul rebukes and scorns these Christians that are out to cleanse the church. We need to be reminded that as Pastor, I have never kicked any, nor wanted to, out of this church. We are not witch hunters that if you do not tow the line then out you go. This is not even my church or any one else. The church is built upon Jesus, Jesus alone. We have no authority to kick anyone out of His church.
The only time anyone will get right with God will be because they were loved, forgiven, given another chance, or taught that something is wrong so do it this way or live is way.
No one will get back to God by throwing them out. This action of “voting someone out of church” is against God’s divine purpose. We are to be known by our love not by fear.
All three groups of people Paul says to beware, be alert to these type’s people in the church of Philippi. They will cause you to live in the flesh. They are out to destroy lives not build lives. –Beware-
May this be a help.
Have a great day!
