Points to Ponder with the Deacon Chairman, Ralph Willis,Jr.
September used to be a big birthday month for my extended family. Me, my mother, my Aunt Viola, my cousin Marilyn, and my cousin Eva all had birthdays this month. It is down to me and Marilyn now as the others have gone to Heaven. Dying eventually touches us all. You never know when God will call you home to be with Him. That is why it is important to make sure you have Christ as your Savior. It is not a decision to leave until your death bed, because you may never have a death bed. My Uncle Eugene did not have one. He came to church one Sunday looking the picture of health but that night he had a heart attack and died suddenly. So make the right decision where Christ is concerned. Do not put it off. Besides not knowing when your life on Earth will be over, you will find that Him leading your life is far better than you leading your life. He gets me through every day, the good times as well as the bad times. When He comes into your life, and you follow His leading, your life will have a purpose. As Bro. Ken Harper, our former Pastor, used to say, "you won't have to come to church, but you are going to want to. Your want to's are going to change." With Christ, your life will have a joy that you never knew. What seems like good times that you are afraid that you will have to give up, you will find pale in comparison to the true joy that living for Christ brings. So when He comes knocking on your heart's door, answer the call. Do not wait for tomorrow because tomorrow may never come for you. You may think you are in good health, but death can come suddenly. Even if it does not, you are missing a much better life that you cannot even imagine if you do not have Christ leading your life. I answered the call at six and a half years old, and I have never regretted it.

Pastor's Corner:
Hiding God's Word in Your Heart
Dr. Johnny Nixon
"Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee." Psalm 119:11
There is a whole sermon tucked inside that little verse. The psalmist tells us what he did, where he put it, and why he did it. He hid God's Word in his heart so that he might not sin against God.
Now, he did not merely keep a Bible on the coffee table where everybody could admire it. He did not carry one under his arm on Sunday and then leave it in the wagon until the following week. He took God's Word and hid it down deep in his heart. He wanted to know what God said because he wanted to live the way God wanted him to live.
That raises a good question: Do we truly desire to please God?
If we do, then we ought to stop for a moment and ask ourselves a few plain questions. How well do I know the Bible? How much Scripture have I committed to memory? How often do I think about what God has said? When I make a decision, do I weigh it against the teachings of Scripture, or do I simply do whatever seems right at the time?
If you want to please God, the best place to begin is with an open Bible. If you have questions about God, the answers are found in His Word. If you want to recognize God's hand in your life, you must learn to think His thoughts. If you want your actions to honor Him, then your decisions must be guided by the truths of Scripture.
First, we must know God's Word. That means we must read it, study it, understand it, and memorize it. Nobody ever learned the road to town by leaving the map folded in the glove
compartment. In the same way, we will never learn God's way by leaving our Bible closed on the shelf.
Second, we must make the Bible part of our daily thinking. It is not enough merely to read a chapter and check it off our list. We must stop and consider what it means. We must ask, "What is God teaching me? Is there something I need to change? Is there a command I should obey? Is there a promise I ought to believe?"
The more Scripture we place in our hearts, the more Scripture will shape our thoughts. The more it shapes our thoughts, the more it will guide our choices. Before long, God's Word becomes like an old, trusted voice calling us back whenever we begin wandering down the wrong road. A Bible hidden in the heart will strengthen weak faith, comfort a troubled spirit, correct a wandering mind, and help us make wise decisions. When temptation comes knocking, God's Word will already be home to answer the door.
So read your Bible. Study it carefully. Memorize it faithfully. Think upon it often. Hide it where neither time nor trouble can take it away.
"Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee."

The Pastor’s Corner
Growing Together
As the new Pastor of Poulan Baptist Church, let me say how excited I am about what the Lord has in store for us. The Bible says,”Where there is no vision, the people perish.” (Proverbs 29:18) I believe God has given us a vision, and it’s really very simple. It’s all about growth. Not just growing in numbers it growing in Christ.
Jesus said, “I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” (Matthew 16:18) That’s His promise. The Church doesn’t belong to a pastor, a committee, or a denomination. It belongs to Jesus Christ. He saves people by His grace, according to His mercy… by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost” (Titus 3:5), and then He patiently grows them into what He wants them to become. That’s our mission.
God isn’t just looking for a full church house on Sunday morning. He’s looking for hearts that are becoming more like His Son. The Apostle Peter reminds us to be found in Him “In peace without spot, and blameless” (2 Peter 3:14). That’s the direction we’re headed — not toward perfection in ourselves but toward Christlikenesss He changes us day by day.
Now anybody who has ever planted a garden down here in South Georgia knows one thing growth takes time. You can’t holler at a tomato plant and make it grow any faster. You water it. You pull the weeds. You wait The Christian life works the same way.
Paul said he encouraged believers “as a father doth his children. That e would walk worthy of God” (1 Thessalonians 2:11-12).Spiritual growth takes patience, perseverance, and the work of the Holy Spirit.
And how do you know when a Christian is growing? Love.
Jesus said the two greatest commandments are to love God and love your neighbor (Matthew 22:37-40). “ That ye love one another:as I have loved you” (John 13:34). Then He added these remarkable words: “By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples. If ye have love one to another” (John 13:35).
Imagine that. The first thing folks notice when they walk through the doors isn’t the paint on the walls or the music we sing. It ought to be the way we love one another.
The New Testament keeps repeating those little words, “one another.” Love one another. Bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2). Serve one another (1 Peter 4:10). Seek good for one another (1 Thessalonians 5:15). Those aren’t suggestions. They’re the family resemblance of God’s people That’s the kind of church I pray Poulan Baptist Church will be.
A place where no one has to stand alone.
A place where children are loved, seniors are honored, families are strengthened, and broken people discover that the grace of God still changes lives.
If we simply love God, love people, and faithfully live His Word. I believe the Lord will take care of the growth. One changed heart will become another changed heart, and before long an entire community will know that Jesus is alive.
I’m thankful to be your pastor, and I can’t wait to see what God is going to do as we grow together.

Pastor Johnny Nixon
