Yesterday I worked on cabinets, taught Bible, studied, visited and went soul winning, went to a ball game and called it a day around 9:30 last night.

Today I'm studying this morning, teaching Bible, visiting, installing a set of cabinets and going to church tonight to preach the Word of God. Whoopee!!!!!

Greetings in Jesus Name

I had a wonderful day on yesterday. I ended up in my woodworking shop most of the day making cabinets for a project that I have been working on. I praise God for the gifts He entrust us all with to be able to use them for His Glory.

Today I have Bible early this morning, and then I will visit some. Also I will work in my shop and put some finish coat of polyurethane on the cabinets. Tonight is a ball game in Wiscasset. Also today I'm scheduled to fly two airplanes at the airport. It's going to be a busy but blessed day as I serve the King of Kings and Lords of Lords!

Greetings in the Glorious Name of the Lord Jesus Christ

I praise God for the powerful day the Lord granted unto us on yesterday. It was a blessing to enjoy the Spirit of God moving in and through our services. What a joy to worship and be ministered to! Well Glory to God! I preached yesterday morning on Abounding more and more, in the afternoon in Jackman on Joy, and the evening Comforting one Another. God is doing some great things in our church to grow us and for that I am eternally grateful!

It's neat to fly up to the North in the afternoon for the service. It's a whole different world up there. I ended up going up at 10,000 feet to get over the weather. Then when I got there it was snowing. We ended up staying over because a snow squall came through and dumped an inch of snow in 15 minutes. We did find a hole to climb back through and made it home for choir practice and evening church. We barely have any snow here in Sanford but they are snowmobling and winter is in full swing. What a difference a plane ride makes.

Today I'm busy in the ministry and I love it.

Greetings in Jesus Name on this Glorious Morning in Maine

My day was blessed of God yesterday. I was in my office early and then went and made some cabinets. After that I flew over to visit Henry and take him lunch. In the afternoon I made some more cabinets. Then right before supper I went and made around 20 visits at the hospital. In the evening my boy had a ball game so it was a good time to be around other families and to get into their lives so we can lead them to Christ. We called it a night with a family supper.

Today is the Lord's Day! Can I hear somebody say Amen!

I'm looking forward to seeing what the God of Heaven has in store for us today as the Word of God is preached. This could be the day that someone is Born Again right here in Sanford Maine. Please pray to that end!

I made it back home last night by 11 p.m. without the C402. The weather that was suppose to break all week so we could break the engines in and adjust them as neccesary never happened. I am trusting the providence of God in this matter. Their will be another day to see this come to pass. Pray for that day on our behalf please.

Today I'm studing, visiting, and making cabinets in my shop. It's good to be home with my family and church family that I love.

Greetings in the Glorious name of the Lord Jesus Christ

Here I sit in Ohio still. It's snowing now. I have not seen the sun since I left Maine. What do I say to all this ,GOD KNOWS!

The forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday were clear sky's. That came and went with a low overcast ceiling that you see in the picture. Please pray that God will give me wisdom on what to do.

Here's the reason we are waiting on good weather.
1). Before I can fly the airplane home the engines need to be broke in. That requires two hours of flying at different engines speed around the airport. We need to have high enough clouds to do that flight just in case something goes wrong. After that flight the engines will probably need to be adjusted a little to hone them in.

2). The insurance company said before i can fly in bad weather I need a check out in the plane. That's called an instrument proficiency check. I can't get that until I'm home so therefore have to wait also for good weather that way. This is the reason I wait. I know some of you must have been wondering about this so I thought I would let you know.

I'm not a good waiter person so I'm growing in my faith being patient. I'm reading and learning things about maintenance while I'm here.

Once again God knows and we trust Him the one who is in control of the weather! Glory to God and the Lamb forever!

Thank you for praying for me. I do covet your prayers and sense them as you pray.

I made it safe and sound here to Ohio yesterday. The weather never changed so I didn't get to fly. I am praying the weather improves some today so I can do the test flights. I know who's in control of the weather so I'm trusting Him!

The plane looks so good with all of the stuff they did to it. Praise God for this.

Today if the weather breaks I will fly it for two hours to break in the engines and then do a few avionics check and fly home. If the weather does not break I don't know yet what I will do. I'm trusting the Lord to work out all the details.

I'm staying at an apartment in a log cabin. It's very nice. God is so good to me.

Pray fervently for the ministry today!

I have been waiting on this day for over two and a half years. Today is the day that I fly out to Ohio to pick up the Cessna 402. I give God the Glory for the patience that He has given me to wait until this project was complete and ready. Please pray today as I fly the airplane and we adjust the engines and get it ready to come back home tomorrow morning. To God be the Glory!

I had a blessed day on yesterday. I taught Bible made cabinets and met people. What a joy to be in the work of the ministry!

What a powerful day we had on yesterday. God moved in all the services and I do bless His Holy Name for what HE did! We had good attendance in all the meetings. I hope you enjoy the pictures that I uploaded. We had five in our afternoon service at our mission in Jackman. It's a blessing to go there and believe God for that work.

Today I'm studying this morning, then teaching Bible, and making cabinets the rest of the day. It's going to be a blessing. You just got to love the Work of God. What a joy to serve.

I was up early and studying yesterday. I had a great time in the Word of God. I love the Word of God!

After that we painted the inside of a house twice. My wife is an amazing painter. I did all the rolling and she did most of the trimming. We started at 7 and finished at 1:30. After that I plowed the church and got ready for Saturday night Jubilee. We had a tremendous crowd in light of the snowy conditions. Pastor Ness preached a great message and God moved in our hearts.

Today is the Lord's day and it's church all day! Praise God for what He is going to do in advance! I'm praying for a mighty outpouring of His Spirit on the meetings and ministry. Please pray with me that old time revival would sweep through our church and ministries and we could see people saved and their lives changed for the Glory of God!

What an exciting day on yesterday. I was busy in the morning with studying and snow plowing. It took me over two hours to clean up the snow from the storm. After that I rushed home and prepared for chapel. What a powerful morning service we had. God is doing some great things among us. In the afternoon I met with a family that is praying about our school. I also did some work around the house. In the evening we went to the kids game. The girls almost won their volleyball match but lost the last game. The boys won their basketball game. It's exciting to compete.

This morning I'm in my study (5:50 a.m.) then off to paint the inside of a house. After that I'm going to move snow at the church. In the afternoon I'm visiting and soul winning. Tonight is old fashioned jubilee! Pastor Eric Ness will be preaching. Praise God in anticipation for what HE is going to do!

Today I'm building cabinets most of the day in my shop. Tonight we plan on visiting and spending some time with a family we have been witnessing to. It's so exciting to see so many families that we are in their lives. It won't be long until they are all saved and a part of what God's doing here.

Greetings in the Strong and Mighty Name of the Lord Jesus Christ

Heb 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Today for our blog entry let's do a simple exegesis of this precious passage of Scripture.

In a day when so many people think Wednesday night services are not important let's see what the Bible has to say.

1) Don't forsake the assembling of ourselves together

I hear someone immediately saying, "well I come on Sunday morning and isn't that enough?" First of all if your saying that, you are revealing your heart toward the work of God. If you call yourself a Christian and have that attitude theirs majors problems with your heart. A Christian simply is a follower of Christ. As Christians we obey the Word of God. When it says not to forsake to assemble we say that's right! I'm going to prepare even early and find myself and my family in the House of God on Wednesday night. The blessings of God are upon those who live obedient lives. I have seen this all through out my ministry. You can separate families in the church in two categories. Those that believe God and live accordingly and those that don't and the outcome is clear. We can see this in the History of the Children of Israel when those that believed God entered into rest and the others died. May God help us to realize the importance and simply doing what the Word of God says! Don't forsake to assemble!

2) As the Manner of some is

Some in that day because of different things that was going on forsook gathering together. Maybe it was fear of persecution, out right disobedience or other things but it had become a habit for them not to assemble together.

The same is true today. It's has become the habit in most of our churches for Wednesday night services to be a take it or leave it service. Let me ask you a question! Is the Word of God only important on Sunday mornings and evenings? Do we not think that gathering together to hear the Bible preached on Wednesdays is a good thing? Oh I know what you saying, my kid has homework. I would rather my kid have zero's and be in the House of God on Wednesdays then not to come because of that. Anyway we don't give homework on Wednesdays at our school because we believe the local church is God's plan for our day and we ought to make it a priority. While I'm on this subject of excuses what about lying? The scriptures tell us to lie not one to another. Now why would God say this? He is saying this because it happens all the time. I marvel at people that don't feel good but all of a sudden after Wednesday night's or even Sunday night's feel good enough to go shopping. My goodness do we have a problem!!!! It's the heart! Our hearts have grown cold on the Lord and we don't even care whether we go to hear the Bible or not on a given night. May God have mercy on our souls and send revival and restoration.

3) But exhorting one another

This happens when we gather together. It's a great encouragement to find the church house full at all the services. I have been burdened about this for quite a while. I have watched things in my ministry go up and down. Every church I have ever been in that's been the case. Four or five months ago we were breaking records at our church on Wednesday nights. It was full and running over! Slowly things begin to happen. People make excuses! I don't feel good, I'm tired, I don't want to get out, it's not worth it....... What does this do. I can tell you if your not there you can't exhort. We need to assemble ourselves together and exhort one another. By the way while I'm talking about this it's not a sin to tell your preacher that you enjoyed the Word of God as it was shared in the message. Many people read this blog. Many churches are represented. It would be a great blessing tonight if after the message you went up and told your preacher, Amen I enjoyed the message tonight. Why don't we do that? God help us today. Keep each other exhorted but especially the preacher!

4) So much the more as you see the day approaching

The early church met often and most of the time daily. We see the approaching day of the Lord. Let's obey the Word of God and meet so much the more. What happened to our two week scheduled meetings? We have to beg people to come out for a two day meeting. Were in a mess! We need God to shake us to the core in revival so we can get back to where we use to be. I'm here to tell you today your kids see through your hypocrisy. Staying at home for some lame excuse. It's time to get right with God and do right. Not some emotional decision either. I have watched the new years resolution come and go. For some it lasted a service and a half. Wow! Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is worthy of us giving our all. Lets be faithful to the organism that He gave His life for THE CHURCH!

It's always right to do right. So right now make plans to be where God wants you to be tonight. Get the clothes ready. Get supper ready. Have the car clean and gassed up. Get your Bible's out. Have a prayer meeting and ask God to send the old time power on the meeting tonight. God will bless you and speak to you from the pages of His word. May the God of Heaven give us a supernatural meeting tonight!

In the evening my wife and I mopped, waxed, and buffed the floors in the fellowship hall. It was a good day!

Today please pray that we have powerful services and that souls are saved in our meetings. I'm looking forward to a wonderful day in the Lord!

I preached on What is a Christian and also what is a Christian school. I appreciate so much the Spirit of God granting freedom to preach the Word of God. In the afternoon I took Benjamin to a Dr.s appointment. In the evening Pastor Garnette took my family out to eat. Also last night the kids had a game. It was a blessing to see the boys come from behind and win the basketball game. The girls got beat but they played good and had a good time.

At night I had a good supper of chili with my family.

It's snowing hard outside and we are out of school today. What a blessing to sleep in a little and enjoy the rest.

Our service last night was a great blessing. I preached on More than words. The Bible says in 1 Thessalonians 1:5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.

It is more than words it's the power of God, the Holy Ghost, and much assurance. May we be a church like that and individuals like that.

I was real busy yesterday teaching, working at a job site picking up sheetrock, flying down to New Bedford Ma and the service.

Today I'm in my study, working at the church on the floors and cleaning, and painting up the road on a house. It's going to be a real blessed day.

Pray about the state helping to get a GPS approach into Jackman. I just barely made it there today because of snow and bad weather but God was gracious to give us a little hole over the airport to get through.

In the afternoon we prepared for the game last night. Even though both of our teams lost they did a great job of sportmansship and honored God with the way they played. What a blessing all of the young people are to us. We called it a day around 9:30 last night.

Greetings in the Glorious Name of the Lord Jesus Christ

I had a great day on yesterday. I was busy in the morning with school stuff. And then in the afternoon I took my wife out on a date. After that I flew a tail wheel airplane to get my tail wheel endorsement to fly airplanes that have a tail wheel instead of a nose wheel(got it?). It was a blast and fun learning all the ends and outs of that. I came home and studied and prepared for last night's meeting. What a blessing. I preached on Dealing with Sin in the life of a believer. It was an encouragment and help to all of us. Afterwards we had choir practice. Praise the Lord for the good day.

Today I'm studying and working around the house and school, flying and spending time with my family tonight. It's going to be a great day in the work of God! What a joy!

I studied most of the day yesterday. In the afternoon Bro. Jeff Faggart came over and ate with us and we fellowshipped a little. We went and worked at the church last night some. The Nursery is finished and looks great. We called it a day late last night.

Today I'm studying much of the day preparing for tonight. I sense God is going to give us a great service and feed us with the good Word of God!

See you there tonight.

As you can see by the pictures I set a record yesterday for golfing in January in Maine. It was fun and I actually hit the ball good.

After that I flew up the coast to fellowship with Pastor Wiley. Thank God for this Pastor. We had sweet fellowship. Last night I spent with my family and it was a blessing.

Today I'm teaching, studying, working around the house and spending time with my daughter before she goes back to college tomorrow.

Greetings in the Mighty Name of the Lord Jesus Christ

What a wonderful day on yesterday. God moved in power and glory and annointed all the services. I bless His Holy Name for liberty and power to preach the Word of God not only here in Sanford but also in Jackman. Bless the Lord!

Last night was vision night and what a blessing that service was. I shared the Vision that God has given me for our church.

Eph 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

Our theme is a Glorious Church or Living up to our Name. It's my desire to see the Calvary Baptist Church as a church that continues to make a difference not only here but globally. I believe God!

After the service everyone brought a pot of soup. It was a blessing to sit around and have good Christian fellowship. Praise God for how He is moving!

Today I'm studying, teaching Bible, working around the house, visiting, having staff meeting and spending time with my family tonight. It's going to be a wonderful day.

Greetings in Jesus Name

Happy New Year!

What a joy to serve the Lord Jesus Christ another year. It's the delight of our life to point men woman boys and girls to the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the Saviour not the church you go to or the baptismal waters you went through when you were a baby. The Romish church has lied to so many millions of people in teaching that you become a Christian at infant baptism. What a LIE! "Ye must be born again". Have you had that spiritual birth that happens when you repent of your sin and trust the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour? I can assure you if you have you know it. The Holy Spirit nows lives in you and you are a new creature in Christ. People that call themselves Christians but live like hell and the devil have never been truly born again. When Jesus saves us He changes us. Why not today make your calling and election sure!

I can't wait to go to the House of God today and preach. The Lord has stirred in my heart today several messages. Also I'm excited about tonight sharing my vision with the church here in Sanford. Well, Glory to God!!! I have a few seats left on the plane today for Jackman. All aboard?

Wow what a year. We have seen so much accomplished this year. So many people have been saved, more buildings built and renovated, and the ministry continuing for the Glory of God!

Thank you Jesus for everything. I don't have the time to recap everything but my blog can do that for you if your interested.

I roofed most of the day yesterday. It was a blessing. Hopefully today we can get it finished. Last night I went on a date with Mrs. Amy and it was a blessing. You know your getting older when you split your meals everytime you go out. (smile)

I'm enjoying my study time this morning and will work on the roof today also. Were carpeting three rooms at the church this afternoon. That will finish our nursery project and everything will have a fresh coat of paint and new carpet. Praise the Lord for this project being completed this week.

I can't wait to see what God does on tomorrow in our services. Oh for the power of the Holy Ghost to fall on us. May we all experience personal revival in our lives and live in it daily!

After studying yesterday morning I put up trusses and plywood on dads gargage roof. We got it all finished around 3. It was a great day. We did have a ladder break and two workers fall to the ground but no body got hurt. Thank you Jesus!

Today is much of the same. In the Word this morning and then helping dad out the rest of the day. I will send my boy down to tear out the carpet in the nursery and prepare it for new carpet by Sunday. It should be a wonderful Christ honoring day of helping one another.

I'm getting just a little excited. Our Cessna 402 that has been gone for 2 and a half years is real close to coming home. I was suppose to go get it last week when they found another leak in a fuel tank. We ordered a new one and hopefully that will be fixed on Monday and I will be going after it soon. Please pray for the Wings ministry. I have the other plane up for sale now and I am asking God to sell it. My plan is to keep the big plane to use for team missions and get a small fast plane to use for my weekly soul winning and mentoring ministries in other places around the Northeast. Thank you for praying.

What a wonderful day on yesterday of work. I was busy at the church all day refurbishing the nursery. Mrs. Amy and I repainted everything. Now it has a fresh coat and feels real clean. It's getting new carpet before Sunday. It was time as everything was getting wore out.

Last night I had four young preachers preach. What a blessing to see them growing in the Lord. It was a tremendous service. The two special songs were out of the park and my boys offratory on the piano was amazing. He ripped the keys off. Wow!

Today I'm studying this morning and then putting my dads trusses up on his garage. It should be fun with tempatures in the 20's and the wind blowing ferociously. I love to work!

Tonight we invited a family over to eat with us that doesn't go to church anywhere. It's going to be a exciting to minister to them. Somebody like this will be in my house once a week this year. This is what it's all about ministering to people. It's better than watching the stinking t.v. can somebody say Amen!

Thank you for praying for me. I covet your prayers.

Where would be today was it not for the Lord Jesus Christ saving our soul. "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved". Glory to God! Whoopee! I'm glad I called and most of all I'm glad He saved!

I studied yesterday, worked around the house, visited in our local hospital, cleaned up all the Christmas decorations, went skiing at shawnee peak. I called it a day around 10:30.

Today I'm studying, working at the church and the Martels and inviting a family over to eat with us tonight. My goal is to see an unchurched family in my home every week this year. I want to see more families saved and serving in the church. What a joy! Did you hear me? What a joy! Well Glory to God and the Lamb forever!
I believe when we stand before the judge of the universe He's not going to ask us about all the stuff we have collected He will be interested in how many souls we have ministered to and won to Him! Let's keep the main thing the main thing.

What a great day on yesterday. I studied a good part of the day and worked a little around the house. Last night we had our sports games. The girls lost in volleyball but they are doing great and improving a lot. The boys won last night and beat a team that had not lost yet. That's very exciting! It's a blessing to go to Christian school games and have preaching and praying and fellowship. You don't get that at worldly games. Praise the Lord.

Wow, what a day on yesterday. Our services were packed out and we had a great time sharing the cantata in the morning and then the kids program at night. My oh my what a God we serve. Though I preached the gospel in both meetings we had no one respond but we know the seed of the Word was sown and we will trust the Lord for the harvest. Everyone did a tremendous job. I praise God for all the hard work and effort that was put forth for this tremendous day. The afternoon service went well in Jackman with Scott Haines preaching for me. He is praying about this area and flying. I let him fly us home and he loved that. His girlfriend sang for us in the afternoon. It was a sweet service.

Today I'm studying this morning and then working on a neighbours house. It's going to be a wonderful day! This afternoon is staff meeting. I can't wait to see what all God has in store for me today.

My day was blessed on yesterday. I was busy in the morning in my office. Then I flew up to pray with the Jordan family. Kyle had to have emergency surgery. I flew back to preach at chapel. I preached on Revival. God gave us a great meeting for which I praise the Lord! I then flew back to Portland and then flew to Northern Maine in a Cessna 414. I'm getting a lot of time in this plane preparing for when ours will be back. After flying back my wife and I then went to see that kids ball game in Turner. Our kids did a great job. We lost both games but I'm still proud of them. Praise the Lord for the oppurtunities to grow through this. We are first year sports so it's tough but God knows. Our boys are 2 and 3 and our girls volleyball are 1 and 5. We got home around 10:30.

I also was able to fix my back porch where I almost caught it on fire a few years ago with the grill. I did some demo on a neighbours house and helped Mrs. Amy get ready for her ladies Christmas party. Last night 40 ladies came over to be a part of the Christmas party. It was a blessing having them all in our home. Praise the Lord for how He is blessing. Oh I forgot to tell you that I helped my friend last night clean out a sewer line for two hours. That was very exciting (smile). It's such a joy to help people out.

Today I'm studying this morning and then flying all over Maine to pick up needy people in the plane and take them to Boston. I finally get to fly a Cessna 414. This will be a blessing because next week is the week I'm going to get the Cessna 402. I can't wait to have this plane back in the ministry.
