Happy Mother's Day


 A “shout out” to all of the Moms on this their special day! I’ll begin with a heartfelt “thank you” to the four Moms in my own life.

 My Mother, who is in glory now, gave birth to me, raised me right and prayed faithfully for me every day when I was lost. The Kingsmen recorded a song years ago with these lyrics; “When Momma prayed, heaven paid attention”. That was so true of my Mom. God answered her prayers for me in October 1978 when I was saved and called to preach. Thank you, Mom, for your unconditional love.

My Mother-in-law. She gave birth to my wife Cindy, who God had picked out for me. For forty-four years now she has been right by my side. Thank you, Lord, for providing the wife I needed. 

My wife Cindy gave birth to our daughters, Marsha, and Mandy. What a Mom Cindy has been. I’ve watched her, up close, be the best example to our girls they could ever see.

My daughter Marsha gave birth to our two grandchildren, Aaron, and Anna. Wow – what a blessing Aaron and Anna have been to their PawPaw. Thank you, Marsha, for being a great Mom. 

Don’t you feel the Moms in your life are the best? If so, tell them “thank you” today. May we show them how much we appreciate them all. 

To ALL the Moms, HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!

Hello everyone, Pastor Bruce here with an important announcement regarding our daily devotionals known as “The Pastor’s Pocket.” After today, these will be discontinued.   I am so thankful to each of you who have enjoyed reading these devotionals and I trust the Lord has encouraged you through each one. I challenge you, as Peter does, to “grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:18).   It is my desire that you will continue in your own personal study of the word of God. Learn the Word, Love the Word, Live the Word!   There may come a time when I can write these again, but for now, I will devote my time to other areas of ministry and ways to serve Him! “To HIM be all the glory both now and forever. AMEN!”   The Pastor’s Pocket Pastor Bruce Freeman

From Christmas to Calvary

Matthew 16:21, “From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.”   From His birth to His death, Jesus suffered. In the scripture verse for today, Christ is preparing His disciples for the suffering. He was about to endure the final stages of His ministry on earth. He describes how He will suffer, how He will die, and then be raised on the third day. All of this was the Father’s plan for our redemption, our salvation. For that plan to be carried out, Jesus had to enter the world. His entrance came through a lowly manger in Bethlehem.   The sufferings of Christ begin with His birth. Jesus left the glories of heaven and subjected Himself to the limitations of time and space. He confined Himself to a body for the first time. If baby Jesus bit His tongue, He experienced pain. He got thirsty for the first time. He experienced h

Not Home Yet

 As Christians, we’re destined for something much better than what this world has to offer!  As the old song says, “This world is not my home, I’m just a passin’ through, my treasure is laid up somewhere beyond the blue…And I can’t feel at home in this world anymore.” The Bible tells us our time on earth is brief (Psalm 103:15 / James 4:4).  If we’ve trusted Jesus as our Savior, our eternal home is heaven.  Therefore we are seen as pilgrims just passing through here.  We are aliens, strangers to this present, evil world system. Isn’t it silly? We spend so much time trying to “have it all” here and now, when in reality we already have it all “in Christ”.  Abundant life that Jesus told us about doesn’t have anything to do with having an abundance of things.  It has to do with the quality of life we possess with all the spiritual riches that come from knowing Christ. God warns us not to love this world.  We must never get too attached to “stuff”.  The fact is; we will suffer rejection, ex
