Around the FFBC
Dave Crispell in Haiti:
Dave Crispell has been busy flying back and forth from Santo Domingo, DR to Haiti carrying relief supplies and preachers of the gospel for Operation Renewed Hope. He has also had several opportunities to preach. When I heard about this, I asked the Pastors and churches of the FFBC to pray for him. At that time, I did not know that I would be going to Haiti. Well, I ended up in Haiti, and I had the joy of flying with Dave! Dave is an awesome pilot and we had a great time of fellowship travelling from Santo Domingo to Cap Hatien. Please continue to keep Dave in your prayers.
Church Planting Progress:
The Truth Bible Church, a Hardingville Bible Church plant led by David Field, recently mailed out 5X7 mailers to the surrounding community. David also preached a series of messages entitled “This We Believe” that walked the flock through the formation of their Statement of Faith. Keep praying for this body of believers as they serve the Lord and trust Him for the increase.
The Boyce Family made a safe move to Littleton, NH and the new Victory Baptist Church held her first service on January 24.
Cassville Property Sold:
I have received word that the sale of the property in Cassville is complete. We appreciate Ed Cotton and his work on our behalf.
From God’s Word
2 Peter 1:19 tells us that we should pay attention to the inspired Word of God as we would a light that shines in a dark place. Our personal times in the Book ought to be a delight, not just a duty. The sermon which rightly divides the Word (2 Tim 2:15) ought to be the believer’s highlight in any church service. The Word of God really should be one of the most exciting things in our lives!
What has happened? Most professing Christians have trouble making time to read the Word of God let alone delight in it. Many find the sermons that rightly divide the Word to be the most boring part of the church services instead of the most important time. Even we pastors can get so caught up in the cares of “ministry” that our times in the Word are dull.
“Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path” (Psalm 119:105). May God help us to delight in the light of His Word!
