Does God Care?

Posted on

Morning Devotions With Pastor Dan – July 29th, 2020.

Does God really care about me? – Does God really understand what I am going through in my life? – Is God really there? – Can I really trust Him? These are questions we might hear in today’s world from people who are looking for help and hope. There are many things in this world which people put their trust in or get their security from, the sad thing is that most, if not all, of what the world derives their trust and security from will fail them. As a child …

A MAN AFTER GOD’S HEART

Morning Devotions With Pastor Dan July 28th, 2020

(1 Samuel 13:13-14)…..And Samuel said to Saul, “You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of the Lord your God, which He commanded you. For now, the Lord would have established your kingdom over Israel forever. But now your kingdom shall not continue. The Lord has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, and the Lord has commanded him to be commander over His people because you have not kept what the Lord commanded you.”

In Paul’s sermon at Antioch, in which he briefly recounts the history of …

Does Jesus Know Me?

Morning Devotions With Pastor Dan – 7-26-2020

(Matthew 7:21-23)…..“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

This verse out of Matthew’s Gospel has always been one of the most fearful verses to me as I have studied the Scriptures through the …

Concerning Panhandle Health District Order

Posted on

The elders of Rathdrum Bible Church have prayerfully reviewed and considered the emergency order issued by Panhandle Health District which requires the wearing of face masks where social distancing is not possible. We believe that by God’s grace and provision we are able to conduct regular worship services within our facilities without the use of masks simply by following the social distancing protocols. Therefore the main sanctuary and fellowship hall will be set up in a manner consistent with the social distancing expectations. As a result, it is not a requirement for any in attendance to wear face masks. We …

God’s Word

Posted on

Near the end of his life, Luther declared, “All I have done is put forth, preach, and write the Word of God, and apart from this I have done nothing.… It is the Word that has done great things.…I have done nothing; the Word has done and achieved everything.” Elsewhere, he proclaimed, “By the Word, the earth has been subdued; by the Word, the Church has been saved; and by the Word also it shall be reestablished.” Noting Scripture’s foundational place in his own heart, Luther wrote, “No matter what happens, you should say: There is God’s Word. This is my …

Yes – I’ve Read (John 3:16)

Posted on

There is a Bible verse that most everyone knows or has at least heard it some time in their life. Yes, you guessed it, it is (John 3:16). This morning I just want to break down this verse a little bit.

John 3:16 – For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

GOD SO LOVED – The word “so” often denotes intensity. For instance, a man may say to his wife, “I love you sooooo much,” as he wishes to express the measure …

Crucified With Christ

Posted on

Morning Devotions With Pastor Dan – July 22, 2020

I have been looking at Paul’s life all week, and the things that he tells the believers in Galatia about the gospel and the state of his old nature as he lives for Christ. That he has been crucified with Christ. Just look how Paul says this in…..

(Galatians 2:20)…..I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave …

Not Forsaken

July 21st, 2020

What a promise we have that the Lord will never leave us or forsake us. It sure is comforting to know that truth. But how many know this?

(Deuteronomy 31:8 NASB)…..”And the LORD is the one who goes ahead of you; He will be with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear, or be dismayed.”

God’s promise is He will never leave us or forsake us. Yet we may sometimes feel hopeless and helpless — like we are facing life all alone. Regardless of the circumstances, or how you feel, remember that …
