March 1st, 2026 Pastor Mark Bintliff - Diligently Seek Him 10:30AM

We all naturally desire rest and quietness, and if we would obtain it, let us seek that world of peace and love of which we have now heard, where a sweet and blessed rest remaineth for God's people. If we get an interest in that world, then, when we have done with this, we shall leave all our cares, and troubles, and fatigues, and perplexities, and disturbances forever. We shall rest from these storms that are raging here, and from every toil and labor, in the paradise of God.

This is the audio from the February 26, 2026 social media broadcast of encouragement and prayer by Impact Prayer Ministry’s director, Tom Lemler. ~ “'Their leader will be one of their own; their ruler will arise from among them.  I will bring him near and he will come close to me, for who is he […]

The Lord is coming again. Watch for Him, because He shall change our bodies to be more like His.

There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. – Hebrews 4:9 In The Saints' Everlasting Rest, Baxter pulls back the curtain on eternity, unveiling the glories prepared for those who love Christ: freedom from all evil, perfection of body and soul, unbroken communion with God, and joy that no one can take away. But while heaven is the perfection of rest, a child of God may even now have Christ's perfect peace and rest, no matter how difficult the circumstances of life may seem. With the urgency of one who experienced near death himself, Baxter pleads with his readers to take God in Christ for your only rest and to make heaven the goal and delight of every day. His stirring words – rich with Scripture, solemn warnings, and radiant hope – have led many to turn from the empty promises of this world and fix their hearts on the incorruptible inheritance kept in heaven. This edition of Baxter's signature work has been painstakingly updated, while still preserving his clarion call to live now in the delightful foretastes of heaven and to persevere until faith becomes sight and joy becomes everlasting. About the Author Richard Baxter (1615–1691) preached “as a dying man to dying men.” He was devoted to God and was a faithful follower of Jesus Christ. Best known as the minister of Kidderminster in England, his love for God and others resulted in practically the entire town of Kidderminster turning to Jesus during Baxter's ministry there. Richard Baxter desired unity among Christians, which often resulted in opposition from those who held to church loyalty or theological views rather than to Christ and God's Word. Baxter had his share of persecution, even being imprisoned on several occasions.

R. Kenner French opens the presentation by addressing how many real estate entrepreneurs feel unorganized and overwhelmed by bookkeeping. He explains that proper bookkeeping is a foundation for wealth, not a boring task to avoid. He introduces VastSolutionsGroup.com, a Vast Asset Defense company combining tax, AI, and asset protection expertise. Kenner shares his background as a three-time author and long-time manager to establish credibility.He highlights the importance of bookkeeping basics, especially for real estate agents and investors who make up 93% of their clients. Clean books improve financial clarity, tax preparation, and rate-of-return analysis. Proper expense management helps investors decide whether to keep or exit certain deals. Bookkeeping also supports asset protection and enhances business structure.The first major tip is keeping business and personal finances completely separate. Separate accounts and credit cards protect business owners from lawsuits and strengthen legal barriers between assets. Real estate investors are often targeted, so separation is essential for liability defense. Mixing funds makes it easier for plaintiffs to attack all assets in a legal dispute.Kenner then emphasizes tracking expenses diligently and using bookkeeping software instead of manual methods. He introduces VastBookie.ai, an AI tool that automates expense categorization and reconciliation. Many clients save money because AI replaces or reduces the need for bookkeepers. Regardless of the software chosen, automation improves accuracy and saves valuable time.The final tips include maintaining organized digital records and reviewing books regularly. Cloud storage, labeled folders, and consistent backups ensure data is never lost. Monthly or quarterly reviews help owners spot trends and make smarter decisions. Kenner concludes by reminding viewers that bookkeeping is the financial foundation of their wealth and invites them to explore resources at VastSolutionsGroup.com.Takeaways• Bookkeeping is essential for business success.• Separate personal and business finances to lower liability.• Diligently track expenses for better asset protection.• Utilize bookkeeping software to save time and money.• Maintain organized records for easier access and review.• Review financial records regularly to identify trends.• Good bookkeeping supports efficient tax preparation.• Organized bookkeeping enhances overall business management.• Investors should prioritize bookkeeping as a foundation.• Utilizing technology can simplify bookkeeping tasks.Sound Bites• Review your books on a quarterly basis.• You'll be glad you're organized.Listen & Subscribe for More:

Today we're diving into our immune health. You can think of your immune system as your body's personal physician.

Have You Lost Jesus In Your Life? Duncan Crook | July 13, 2025 ---------- EPISODE SUMMARY Have you ever lost track of a child for even a moment? That panic is nothing compared to losing fellowship with Jesus in your life. In this powerful message, Duncan Crook uses the story of 12-year-old Jesus being left behind in Jerusalem to reveal how even the most devoted believers can lose intimate fellowship with Christ. Through Luke 2:41-52, discover the difference between losing your relationship with Jesus (impossible) and losing fellowship with Him (all too common). Learn the warning signs, understand how it happens gradually, and most importantly, find the path back to restored intimacy with your Savior. Core Message: You can't lose your relationship with Jesus, but you can lose fellowship with Him - and there's a way back. ---------- KEY TOPICS COVERED The Reality of Lost Fellowship - The difference between losing relationship vs. losing fellowship with Jesus - Why even the closest believers can lose their sense of Jesus' presence - The story of the coworker who "found Jesus" then seemed to lose Him again The Biblical Foundation: Jesus Lost in Jerusalem - Jewish travel customs that explain how Mary and Joseph lost Jesus - The significance of Jesus' Bar Mitzvah and coming of age at 12 - Why both parents assumed Jesus was with the other group The Security of Salvation vs. Fellowship - Once saved, always saved - but not a license to sin - Marriage analogy: relationship vs. fellowship maintenance - Why true believers don't want to persist in sin Who Can Lose Fellowship with Jesus - The shocking truth: those closest to Him are most vulnerable - Former pastors, deacons, and church leaders who've fallen away - How you can attend church regularly and still lose fellowship The Gradual Nature of Spiritual Drift - Why losing Jesus doesn't happen overnight - The danger of small steps away from Christ - The Inuit wolf-hunting illustration about gradual spiritual destruction The Samson Syndrome - How Samson lost God's presence without realizing it - The tragedy of assuming God is still with you while living in sin - Recognition that spiritual strength comes from God, not ourselves The Path Back to Fellowship - Step 1: Acknowledge that you have left Him - Step 2: Diligently begin to seek Him with persistence - Step 3: Return to the place you left Him David's Example of Restoration - How "a man after God's own heart" lost fellowship through compromise - The progression from spiritual laziness to adultery and murder - Psalm 51 as a model for genuine repentance and restoration ---------- MEMORABLE QUOTES "Have you ever been somewhere with a small child and turn your back for a second- and the child has gone?" "How easy it is to sometimes seem to lose Jesus in our lives." "I have a good Greek word for that: Hogwash." "If you are born again, you don't want to sin! You are a new creature in Christ." "Has there ever been a time in your life when you were consistently closer to Jesus than you are right now? If the answer is yes, then you have lost Jesus." "Sometimes we stay so busy in church doing religious things that we miss Jesus." "Jesus didn't leave Mary and Joseph; they left Him." "You can't afford one day out of fellowship with Jesus." "He awoke from his sleep and thought, 'I'll go out as before and shake myself free.' But he did not know that the Lord had left him." "You will never reclaim fellowship with Jesus until you are honest enough to acknowledge that you have lost it." "You will need to take as many steps back to fellowship as you took walking away." ---------- BIBLICAL FOUNDATION - Primary Text: Luke 2:41-52 (Jesus in the Temple at age 12) - Supporting Texts: Judges 16:20 (Samson), Psalm 51:10-11 (David's repentance) - Key Theme: The difference between relationship and fellowship with Christ - Context: Jewish Passover customs and coming-of-age traditions ---------- PRACTICAL APPLICATION If You're Questioning Your Fellowship: - Ask yourself: "Has there ever been a time when I was consistently closer to Jesus than I am right now?" - Examine your heart honestly, not just your church attendance - Don't assume religious activity equals intimate fellowship If You've Recognized Lost Fellowship: - Acknowledge it honestly without making excuses or blaming others - Begin seeking Jesus diligently and persistently - it may take time - Return to the specific place or situation where you left Him If You're in Church Leadership: - Remember that being close to Jesus doesn't make you immune to losing fellowship - Don't let busyness in ministry substitute for personal intimacy with Christ - Be watchful for the gradual drift that can happen to anyone If You're Struggling with Sin: - Recognize that small steps away from Jesus become giant leaps - Don't deceive yourself that Jesus is okay with compromise - Remember that sin has an exponential, infectious nature If You're Helping Others: - Look for those who may have lost fellowship while maintaining appearances - Encourage persistence in seeking restoration - it's not always immediate - Point people back to where they left Jesus, not just to religious activity ---------- THE ULTIMATE INVITATION God the Father is waiting for you to return to Him. When you do, He won't condemn, criticize, or punish you. He's going to welcome you with open arms, embrace you with His grace, enfold you with His love, and shower you with His mercy. You can be saved and going to heaven, but your fellowship and intimacy with Jesus can be spoiled. Will you admit it and start seeking the Lord persistently and diligently? Are you willing to return to where you left Him? ---------- Remember: Fellowship with Jesus requires the same diligence as any relationship - it must be maintained through consistent communion, honest acknowledgment of problems, and persistent effort to restore what's been lost.

Wisdom is an indispensable virtue to the discipline of applying the Law of God.  The wise man seeks to understand all of life and thought in terms of the absolute moral order of God's Word & God's world. Wisdom equips the moral agent for the discipline of measuring all things by the standard of divine revelation. Taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ (II Cor 10:5) requires wisdom and discernment that comes by way of practice (Heb 5:14).  Diligently processing and applying the scriptures is an ordinary means of the Spirit to equip saints for glorifying God in life & ministry. Wisdom literature is an instruction manual for ‘casuistry'…The task of judging case by case situations by the universal standard of Biblical truth.  Proverbs contains hundreds of examples of God‘s law applied to various situations - or cases- in every day life.  The book of Proverbs along with all of scripture is a Just Weight by which to measure everything else.
