John 1:12-13 - “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” Brought to you by BibleGateway.com.

I Don’t Mind Telling You!
Praise the Lord! It’s good to be back preaching and serving our church family here at Oak Grove Baptist Church. Your wonderful loving kindness and prayers that have been given during my lengthy illness are both humbling and greatly appreciated. I still have a ways to go; however, with a church family like ours, it makes all things better regardless what comes our way.
The Lord Added:
It has been wonderful to have Jeff, Debbie, and their daughter Ashley unite with us by promise of letter. Ashley is learning to play the piano, and she did a super job this past Sunday. It is always especially great to see the baptism waters flow. During the last couple of months; Mason Bolerjack, Desiree Cowan, and Sarah Miller have made a public profession of faith and followed our Lord in baptism.
There are others that God is working with. So please, let’s pray together that God though His Holy Spirit will compel them and many others to follow our Lord that Oak Grove will have a super summer revival that will inspire us for years to come, and we can all stand in awe of our great God.

A Word For Today: Face the Music
Have you ever heard the expression “Face the music”? Here’s how that phrase came about:
Many years ago, a man wanted to play in the Imperial Orchestra, but he couldn’t play a note. Since he was a person of great wealth and influence; however, he demanded to be allowed to join the orchestra so that he could perform in front of the king.
The conductor agreed to let him sit in the second row of the orchestra. Even though he couldn’t read music; he was given a flute, and when a concert would begin, he would raise his instrument, pucker his lips, and move his fingers. He went through all the motions of playing, but he never made a sound.
This deception went on for two years. Then one day a new conductor took over the Imperial Orchestra. He told the orchestra that he wanted to personally audition all the players to see how well they could play. The audition would weed out all those who weren’t able to meet his standards, and he would dismiss them from the orchestra.
One by one the players performed in his presence. Frantic with worry when it was his turn, the phony flutist pretended to be sick. However, the doctor who was ordered to examine him declared that he was perfectly well. The conductor insisted that the man appear and demonstrate his skill.
Shamefacedly, the man had to confess that he was a fake. That was the day he had to “face the music.”
Many of us go through the motions of the Christian life. We attend church or youth group, recite Bible verses, and say all the right things. In reality, though, we are fakes. A time is coming when all of us will be called to stand before the judge of heaven and earth and “face the music.” No one will be able to hide in the crowd. The phonies will be separated from the true players. (See Matthew 12:36-37 and 25:31-46.)
Remember, a real saintly saint with a glowing testimony is never at the mercy of an infidel with an augment.
