History
History of the Lebanon Baptist Temple

The Calvary Baptist Church of Lebanon was organized in the old Memorial Hall, on the corner of Silver and Mechanic Streets, on Sunday March 22, 1953 with twelve charter members. Services were held in the Memorial Hall and the I.O.O

.F. Hall until our present building was completed. Mills resigned from his position as Pastor in December of 1959. Gene Eidson became the next pastor from February 1960 through 1962. Eidsen was Ref Allen Sears. Sears was pastor from 1963 through 1964. In December of 1965, Rev. Carlos Demarest became pastor and remained in the position until May 30, 1968.Next was Rev. Ross Bateman, who pastored from September 1968 through November 1972. In December of 1972, Rev. Allen Jones became pastor and remained in that position until he chose to retire in October of 2008. In 1976 Rev. Jones, under the direction of the Holy Spirit, renamed the church to Lebanon Baptist Temple. A year later, in 1977, Rev. Jones started the Temple Christian Academy. Jones retired, Richard Drummond became pastor in October of 2008 and remains in that position to this day. The Lebanon Baptist Temple is an old-fashioned Independent Baptist Church. Our singing is of traditional hymns and we believe that the King James Bible – 1611 is the final authority in all matters of faith and practice in the church and in the lives of God’s people.

For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. James 2:26 KJV

Thoughts on Today's Verse....
By this definition, I fear that many people claiming to be believers are spiritual corpses. For our faith to be genuine, James says it must express itself in good deeds. Jesus said something similar in his Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 7:21). Faith not only moves mountains but must also move believers to act in ways that honor God and bless others. Faith also becomes a true believer's way of demonstrating thankfulness to God for his amazing grace.

My Prayer...
Holy and Faithful Father, please forgive me for the times I've been lazy in my spiritual walk when my faith didn't prompt me to do good deeds. Help me see the many opportunities for service you give to me each day and empower me to act on those opportunities in ways that bless others and honor you. In Jesus' holy name, I pray. Amen.

Genesis 2:24 KJV
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

Thoughts on Today's Verse....
We are different! God makes us male and female so we can be complements of each other. Each of us, male or female, is made in God's image. God intends that a husband and wife find their primary intimate human relationship with the other. They still honor their parents, but their home is with each other. Their two lives become one. They know each other intimately and share that intimacy across many facets of their lives. In this context of lifetime security and commitment, they share in the intimate knowledge of each other sexually — becoming "one flesh" and fully knowing each other deeply. This relationship is to be enjoyed (Proverbs 5), protected (1 Thessalonians 4:3-8), and celebrated (Song of Solomon) for life (Matthew 19:6).

My Prayer...
Holy and Almighty Father, please bless me with the strength to live with integrity, faithfulness, and purity in today's sexually charged world. Please use your Spirit and your Word to instruct, correct, and convict me as I seek to discover your truth for my relationships and celebrate your will for my sexuality only with the person you have called me to honor with my life in marriage. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: Acts 2:23 KJV

Thoughts on Today's Verse....

When we think of the Cross, we must never associate the words "tragic accident" with it. In this message at the first Pentecost following Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection, Peter insisted that two separate streams of power converged at the Cross.

Evil had its way and brought the Son of God to the Cross through the work of evil men.
God purposed and planned the evil intentions behind Jesus' crucifixion would become his way of redeeming, cleansing, and saving us.
The Cross was no accident. What the forces hell had intended as our ultimate defeat, God used to bring us redemption and triumph. The best and worst of all things collided. Of course, the Cross wasn't the final answer in this battle; the empty tomb and the resurrected Jesus were. We are the victorious recipients of this grace, paid at such an agonizing cost and administered cruelly by our greatest adversary. Yet God purposed the cross to secure our salvation through Jesus' triumph over the grave.

My Prayer...

Holy God, thank you for having a plan for us, to forgive our sins and secure our future with you. Thank you for paying the price for that plan to work. Thank you for triumphing over hell's wickedness and the work of evil people. We love you for all you are and all you have done for us in Jesus, the cross, and the empty tomb. We pray in our Savior's mighty name. Amen.
