From the Desk of Pastor Bill:
Unfairness is part of the human nature and conditions we experience while we live on the Earth. If you have friends, family, neighbors and/or acqaintences, you, at some point in time will feel that you have been treated unfairly. Maybe by a parent, or an employer, church member, church leader, legal process, friend. It doesnt matter who or by what means, you ultimately have the choice to respond to those who have hurt you in 2 ways:
1. you can choose to respond to those who have hurt you by hurting them back. Retaliating. Thats an easy choice. And also the choice that they would expect of you.
2. God's Option: Matt 5:43,44 (NIV); You have heard that it was said, Love your Neighbor and hate your Enemies?, But I (Jesus), tell you, love your Enemies and PRAY for those who persecute you."
When people hurt you, they expect you to retaliate. They expect you to SEE REVENGE. God wants us to do the exact opposite. He was us to respond in LOVE. Responding to mistreatment in LOVE, keeps the offender from controlling us. Booker T. Washington once said,"I will never allow another person to control my life by allowing them to make me HATE them." We cant control how another person treats us, but, we CAN control whether we get bitter, or angry in the process. We CAN control our responses to injustices towards us.
Just because we choose to respond LOVINGLY, doesnt mean we continue to allow the injustice, just that we choose NOT to allow the injustice to control us.
We must lovingly seek justice in this world without retaliation. God's Word commands us to "be fair-minded and just. Do what is right." (Jeremiah 22:3)(NLT).
Martin Luther King Jr. was a great example of this. He fought against injustice without violence. He overcame evil with good through the power of God's Love. He followed the example of Jesus, who chose to forgive us (His persecutors) even when we were killing Him. That's our calling as His followers.
Unfairness and Injustice may be a part of humanity, but, we must RESPOND IN LOVE. pb

We had the pleasure of watching a Christian Youth Christmas Drama on Saturday Night. Was it good? Better than good. It was GREAT! The theme was, "YOU are the Reason for the Season." As I pondered on this, God spoke to me and explained that, truly, WE are the Reason for the Season. You see, Jesus didn't need a Savior, WE DID. Jesus didn't have to be born at all, He Chose to because of US. Jesus didn't have to die, be scorned, mocked or beaten, He Chose to, for US. So, this Christmas, realize that You are the reason that Christ was born, bled, died and rose again that WE could Live and be changed into the Sons and Daughters of God through Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior. Stay Blessed and Have A Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! pbh

Greetings in the Mighty Name of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I was born in Cincinnati, Ohio in May of 1962 and because my Earthly Father was an 18 wheeler, moved around a bit. We finally...

Just an update for everyone. As many of you know, I had a life threatening surgery done 2 weeks or so ago. Saw my Doctor Friday for my followup and he said at least another 4 weeks of recovery (I have open incisions for draining purposes). With that in mind, we will not be conducting any Services at Rock of Ages Mission America Full Gospel Tabernacle until after the holidays. I will try and post some tid bits though. Thanks for all the prayers and support. God Is Good, All The Time and All The Time God Is Good. Stay Blessed.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I am doing fine. Still in the hospital from surgery on Tuesday. That being said, we will be postponing our services until Sunday December 3rd. This will allow my body ample time to recuperate. You may still ask for prayer or leave comments. I do still enter my Prayer Closet even at the hospital. We serve an awesome, mighty God. Remember, God's thoughts are higher than our thoughts, and His ways are higher than our ways. He has me here ministering to the very special needs of those that are not only patients, but staff as well. Stay Blessed and May God Richly Bless You.
