North Anderson Baptist Church
“A Light of God’s Love”
A small Church, In a small Town, Serving a Big GOD.
God’s Revelation to North Anderson Baptist is…”To honor and glorify God through
worship, prayer, teaching, community service and mission opportunities.”
Volume 18 Issue 7 July 2017
From Your Pastor…
The month of July always reminds me of the freedom
that was won for the “soul of America” so many years
ago. We celebrate maybe the most important holiday for
the nation’s history that we have. Without the document
of 1776, the Declaration of Independence from Great
Britain, we would never have had freedom and liberty to
live like America has these last 241 years.
Sometimes people say why do you get involved in the political or secular
areas of life as a preacher? What I tell them is, “That I am a citizen of
America and I have the desire and the right to stand for our basic American
principles that were set down in the Declaration of movement from the be-
ginning and we as religious leaders, not only have a right but it is a respon-
sibility to speak out or else the country will have no voice from the faith
community that comes from the Biblical perspective.”
We as a church, believe the truth will set you free (John 8:32), therefore we
should speak the truth in love about our nation’s history and its present
apostasy from the founding principles. Our nation has not been perfect; we
have made terrible decisions over the years but we seek to defend the weak
and care for the less fortunate and hopefully stand for what is right. Do we
do all we can? No, but we can work to do better and elect those who care
more for the nation and others than for themselves. What we have today
has come as a benefit of the freedom fighters throughout our history, paid
in blood and tears of the faithful Americans seeking to keep us free and in-
dependent of another’s rule over us.
My prayer is, that we as a church, will take seriously our nation’s fall from
the Biblical principles that have made us great in the past and begin to do
whatever it takes to help us move forward to renew and remake this great
nation into what God desires for us to be, righteous and God fearing, before
a Mighty, Sovereign God.
In the wonderful name of Jesus,
Your Pastor

Administration & Education
A few years back I started an article, “Are You Available?” This can
mean so many different things, especially as busy as we are in 2017. It
is summer and many things happen during the summer months. Chil-
dren are out of school. We have our children’s program every Tuesday
morning, summer camps, VBS, and every summer the nominating com-
mittee starts enlisting people to help teach and lead our church. We are
the church, the body of Christ and you are a member. If you are serv-
ing, thank you. If you are not serving, ask yourself where your gifts and
talents are and then seek out to serve. We are always looking for new
people to help and serve. So if you are wondering about serving please
contact me and I will direct you to the right person or task.
Our VBS theme this year is “Galactic Starveyors.” We will be discover-
ing the God of the universe. Please come join us July 23rd – 26th. If
you want to help with VBS please contact Chuck or Julie Carver or my-
self, we are open to any leaders and helpers. It is going to be an amazing
time so please come out and join all of us!!!
