"Heal Our Land"
“Then ye shall answer them, That the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it passed over Jordan, the waters of Jordan were cut off: and these stones shall
be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever.” - Joshua 4:7

“Heal Our Land”
by Pastor Silas Doctor
“1 And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over Jordan, that the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,
2 Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man,
3 And command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of the midst of Jordan, out of the place where the priests' feet stood firm, twelve stones, and ye shall carry them over with you, and leave them in the lodging place, where ye shall lodge this night.
4 Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of every tribe a man:
5 And Joshua said unto them, Pass over before the ark of the LORD your God into the midst of Jordan, and take ye up every man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according unto the number of the tribes of the children of Israel:
6 That this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean ye by these stones?
7 Then ye shall answer them, That the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it passed over Jordan, the waters of Jordan were cut off: and these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever.
8 And the children of Israel did so as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of Jordan, as the LORD spake unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel, and carried them over with them unto the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.
9 And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests which bare the ark of the covenant stood: and they are there unto this day.”
We need the Lord, our God, to heal our land. Our land is broken. Degeneracy, promiscuity, vulgarity, obscenity, all the things that anger and go against the Lord have become normal and acceptable in our culture.
We, as a nation, have turned away from God. We need a revival. A turning back to the Lord.
Pastor explores this in today’s message.
Notes & Quotes:
“In April of 1863 in Columbia, Mississippi, after decorating the graves of her two sons that served in The Civil War as confederate soldiers, the elderly woman also decorated two mounds at the corner of the cemetary.
An observer asked, 'What are you doing? Those are the graves of two Union soldiers.' The reply, 'I know. I also know that somewhere in the North, a mother or a young wife mourns for them as we do ours.'
That woman and a little band of ladies set in motion what became Memorial Day. Memorial Day is set aside each year to remember those who gave their lives in the armed forces. Remember those who died in far away battlefields to bring freedom and democracy to oppressed peoples.
We commemorate their actions by honoring them in ceremonies across the land...”
"Following Mary William's call for assistance,[8] four women of Columbus, Mississippi a day early on April 25, 1866, gathered together at Friendship Cemetery to decorate the graves of the Confederate soldiers. They also felt moved to honor the Union soldiers buried there, and to note the grief of their families, by decorating their graves as well. The story of their gesture of humanity and reconciliation is held by some writers as the inspiration of the original Memorial Day." - [source]

“Mother's Day”
by Pastor Silas Doctor
“1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,
2 To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day;
4 Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;
5 When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.”
Mother’s are the backbone of the family, especially spiritually. They can be the They schedule, they comfort, they love, they do so many roles: nurse, therapist, teacher, administrative, financial, and so, so many more.
We should honor our mothers. They should be loved, cherished, honored, adored, respected, and valued beyond measure.
Pastor explores this in today’s message.
Notes & Quotes:
“Its [Mothers Day] origin started in 1907 when Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia started a campaign to honor mothers two years after her own mother died. In 1910, West Virginia became the first state to recognize Mothers Day. A year later nearly every state officially marked the day. In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson officially proclaimed Mothers Day as a national holiday for the second Sunday in May.”
"Anna Jarvis' accomplishments soon became a bitter disappointment for her. She became enraged by its commercialization. She filed a lawsuit - to stop Mothers Day being celebrated - in 1923. She was arrested for disturbing the peace at a war mothers convention where white carnations - her symbol for mothers - were being sold to raise money."
Her complaint, "I want it to be a day of sentiment. Not of profit.” - Anna Jarvis
“Trust God’s hand even when you can’t see the full picture.”
“Honour thy father and mother; (which is the
first commandment with promise;)” - Ephesians 6:2
“Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee;" - Isaiah 44:2a

“Innocent Blood”
by Pastor Silas Doctor
“16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.”
In our passage today we see that God hates hands that shed innocent blood. How much more innocent can a person be than one that has not even been able to speak, walk, or act in our world - little babies in the womb.
Our world has accepted a satanic lie: that these precious little children are not worthy of life. God detests this behavior of abortion. It is murder.
There is forgiveness for the sin of abortion. Forgiveness is only found in the shed, precious blood of Jesus Christ. The work Jesus did on the cross is sufficient and enough to save you. Repent. Turn to Him. ❤️🙏
Pastor explores this in today’s message.
Notes & Quotes:
"Abortion is murder. Simple as that."
“This [abortion] is one of the big warnings that God is giving us as a nation as we're rebelling from His precious Word.”
“Our trust is in Him; our trust is not in this world.”
“How long is God going to put up with this country?”
There is forgiveness for the sin of abortion. Repent. The Bible
says that, “As far as the east is from the west, so far hath
he removed our transgressions from us.” - Psalms 103:12
by Pastor Silas Doctor
Folks, I am sharing some thoughts on what the Bible has been warning us about for many years that would happen some day! I believe that time is VERY near!
The next Scriptural event that will soon happen is the Rapture of the Church, which means those that are truly born-again, saved believers will be caught up and meet Jesus!
... The inspiration of the Bible
... The Trinity of God
... The virgin birth of Jesus Christ
... The blood atonement by Christ
... The bodily resurrection of Christ from the dead
... The justification of unsaved by faith
... The person and work of the Holy Spirit
... The call of each believer to spiritual maturity of holiness of life
... The Biblical command to separate unto God from apostasy
... The security of the believer by the power of God
... The personal and imminent return of Christ
... The evangelizing of the unsaved in all the world
