This past month, I resigned from my post as pastor of Open Door Bible Church.  It was a difficult decision, and one that is still difficult even now to accept at times, when I consider the role and relationship I have had with many here in Hudson.  Read the rest of this entry »

“The Lord is for me in my helpers” (Psalm 118:7a).

Turn, turn, turn—the calendar flips by, and time has flown, while Bob has been absent from his post.

But now, I hope to “post” at my post and be a good host to you, who may occasionally drop in for “a word to the weary” (Isaiah 50:4).

God has done some good things these past few months through several “helpers”:

1. Through one member and the counsel of a close friend, God provided the new MP3 recorder and start-up fees to put our sermons and messages online at SermonAudio.com.
2. Through my son, these messages are edited and regularly put online.
3. Through several friends, I now have a laptop of my own, on which to type a new series of blogs.  To a writer, this is like a driver getting a new car.  Let’s go somewhere!

Neither Jesus nor the apostle Paul fulfilled their ministry single-handedly (Luke 8:1-3; Philippians 4:2-3).  Nor will I.

Lord God, thank You for being for me through those who have helped me!  Bless them.  Amen.
