I've heard Polk County called God's country many times over the 6 years we have made it home. There without a doubt is some beautiful scenery here in Mena, AR. I am just about to come to the realization that many of you are right, that this truly is God's country. As a matter of fact, I think God is an Arkansan. I can prove it to you, it's biblical. You see the weather in Arkansas can change in just a few minutes, it can be hot and turn cold in just a bit. It can be sunny, and storming to the point of a tornado in a hurry. I feel that our lives are just like that, many times everything can be going great and then out of the blue....bang! A storm blows in that will knock us off of our feet. 1 Corinthians 15:52 tells us why I believe God is an Arkansan. "In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we all shall be changed." In a moment...in the twinkling of an eye...everything can change. Hold on, if you don't like the weather in your life. God is in control, and HE can and will change it.
God Bless you all,

Happy New Year to all of you! 2018 was here for a minute and now it's gone. 2019 will have lots of ups and I'm sure some definite downs, but when you have Jesus Christ as your personal Savior you can always know that you are a part of the family of God. You are the joint heir with the King of kings and the Lord of lords. When you look at it that way it's easy to see it's going to be a great year!
God bless you all,
Bro. Tim
One of the most beautiful things that I have seen in ALL my years of trying to serve the Lord is when God's people come together in TRUE fellowship. I feel that this is one of our churches strong points. However, I believe the biggest reason is that our fellowship isn't just with one another, but it is with the LORD! Read 1 John 1:3
God bless you ALL,
Bro. Tim
I hope we have all prayed up, because by this time next week, we will be having the first night's showing of Heavens Gates and Hell's Flames. Let's remember what Paul taught us in 1 Corinthians 3:6, "he said, I planted, Apollos watered, but God gives the increase!". I am praying for a harvest of souls, I pray that we ALL will sow seeds over the next few days, I pray that ALL of us will water what others have planted. But most of all I pray God will give the increase!
God bless you all!
Bro. Tim
