Good Morning One and All!

It's been a very busy couple of months for us here at Pastor Fred Online and Pastor Fred's Thoughts. First of all to you who have enjoyed the Blog Radio and Video Sermons; I haven't been able to successfully take care of my other webhost. So the bill is still out standing, and currently I have no way to pay for it. I hope to have it back up and running as soon as possible. So, keep that in your prayers.

Current Events:
We have been busy around the Church family here in Springdale! Many new things are happening and it is very exciting. We have 5 new children in our exciting and new Sunday School Class! Our fun includes fishing for Songs to puppets and fun crafts. We try to have a healthy snack each week as well. All of the children have special Sunday School shirts labeled with our logo "God's Little Helpers". If you are interested come and see Joy and Grampy Wrinkles!
We are also getting ready to start a very special and exciting summer Children's Church entitled "Friendship". It will be amazing as we sail through each class on the HMS Togetherness! That will be starting in the next couple of weeks and will be held on Thursday nights from 7:30 - 9:00 pm. (Sneak Peek: The ship will be real!)
Also coming in June from the 20-22 we will be have some very special revival services with Bro. Billy Huey. This gentleman is a fine preacher, and an awesome soul winner. He will bring his treasure chest, and other goodies so come expecting an awesome time in the presence of the Lord!

It is going to be an awesome summer so come back often and I will keep you updated!

Yours for God's Kingdom
Pastor Fred

A tribute to the reader!

Well I'm back in the saddle as it were! It was a long busy week, but it is finally over, and now we are starting a new week.

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you, each and every one of my readers, for your friendship, tolerance, and the fact that you have returned on a number of occasions.

I met one of you this last week. I was at work, I am sorry if I seemed a little stand off-ish - I was having a rough day, but I am taking this opportunity to acknowledge you my readers.

This is the day I pay tribute to people who care about other peoples opinions! You acknowledge that we might have something important to say. Thank You!

Also, I want to take this opportunity to share with you some news, and updates which will be forth coming in the near future!

1. There will be more video content. some of which will contain yours truly.
2. I am endeavoring to become an active member of the Canadian Bible Society. In which case I will be offering Bibles in your native language.
3. I am trying to start a prize department for every so many visitors. (i.e. The 1,000 visitor may receive there own personal Bible for free!)
4. I will be asking for you to send a prayer for a country on my counter. (we currently have at least 51 countries to pray for and we have only prayed for about 5 of them!)
5. I will open up a testimony section for you to send me your testimonies of God answering your prayers!

These are just some of the things that will be offered to you the reader in the near future!

As always I will continue to write thoughts which the good Lord gives me, which I hope will enrich, motivate, and inspire you to have a closer walk with Jesus!

In closing here is a scripture that I preached from this morning. Meditate on it and see what God tells you!

Romans 13:11-14 (Amplified Bible)

11Besides this you know what [a critical] hour this is, how it is high time now for you to wake up out of your sleep (rouse to reality). For salvation (final deliverance) is nearer to us now than when we first believed (adhered to, trusted in, and relied on Christ, the Messiah).

12The night is far gone and the day is almost here. Let us then drop (fling away) the works and deeds of darkness and put on the [full] armor of light.

13Let us live and conduct ourselves honorably and becomingly as in the [open light of] day, not in reveling (carousing) and drunkenness, not in immorality and debauchery (sensuality and licentiousness), not in quarreling and jealousy.

14But clothe yourself with the Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah), and make no provision for [indulging] the flesh [put a stop to thinking about the evil cravings of your physical nature] to [gratify its] desires (lusts).
