This video is a really good short video explaining what the Bible is about.

Its not about you. It is all about Jesus. Please watch it.

Over the last year, we have been very intentional at FBCF about praying more.  Here lately, I have been teaching through Jesus’s teaching in Matthew 6 about prayer. Jesus clearly teaches that His followers should spend time in private prayer. “go to your room, shut the door, pray to your Father.”

Well several months ago, I challenged the church to pick one thing to begin praying for.  Something BIG.  Something so big that you doubt it will happen. And then pray hard. Pray and pray and pray, believing that God answers prayers.

Well today I ran into a lady who reminded me that I challenged the church to do that, and she told me that she had been praying for months for this one person to get saved. The person was mean and dishonest and bad and often in trouble. The person also was nearly 40 years old.

Then just the other day she saw this person carrying a Bible and the person told them they had found Christ.

WOW! God had answered her prayers. With tears in her eyes, she said “He heard my prayers.”

Yes, He did. And now someone knows the all-satisfying King Jesus!

Lets keep praying for the salvation of the people around us. God will answer.

I cannot wait to tell the church this story on Wednesday night during Prayer Meeting!

Each morning during breakfast, JJ, Eli and Daddy watch some cartoons. One of our favorites is Dinosaur Train. It comes on channel 13.

Some shows may be better, but the opening song (the theme song) to this one is so good. Eli never lets me miss it. We sing and dance loudly throughout the house.

I love this song!
I do not have a lot of my funeral planned out (i don’t think about it often), but I do hope this song will be played at my funeral. It is so good. This song is so good, it surpasses any preference of style or form.

“You can have all this world…give me Jesus!”

I made this 3-seater. JJ & Eli love it. We go for rides nearly every evening, and the boys think it is a blast.

Both of these are meant to go on the back, but I spent a few days working on it and made it happen.

As remodeling continues to happen around our church, we are also filling the church with more visible Scripture.

A few guys in our church have this new business where they are putting Scripture on walls. Everyone is enjoying it!

Here is a picture of our new and much improved kitchen. It has 1 Corinthians 10:31 above it. It has been completed just in time because tonight we begin back our Wednesday night dinners.

–Here is the chorus
“Like a G5 yeah you rushed to rescue me Took a cross in exchange for a throne to save me You began the work and I know you’ll finish And make all things right when you come back Cause you’re my hero, you already saved the day Cause you’re my hero, and I know you’re coming back for me”

–Here are some lyrics from the last verse at the end of the song.
“New Heaven, new Earth that’s where all His sheep dwell
Cause Jesus succeeded in every part of life that we failed
Died the death we couldn’t die, paid our price with 3 nails
Began the work He promised, in the end we all will be well
Already beat our enemies and when His Kingdom’s realized
All those who oppose Him will see Jesus with some real eyes
Deliverance is offered us, the hero He is urging us
Salvation is exclusive to His people who have turned to trust”

Yesterday was our church’s 94th anniversary!

On August 16, 1916 the Christ-followers of Fairdale, KY came together to establish a Baptist church in the area. It was the first baptist church founded in the area.

We are humbled that after 94 years, God is still at work; the Bible is still the authority; love is still the ingredient; and Jesus is still the Way, the Truth & the Life.

May God be so gracious to keep His hand on us for another 94 years. He alone is worthy!

Most people do not have a good understanding of Hell.

Here is R.C. Sproul on hell. It is really good.
