“A NEW SONG”
June 2013
Dear Team Mates
Do you ever wonder what I think about every week when I get up to preach? We don’t know each other – you can see me but I cannot see you – so I have no idea of what you look like, where you live, how you worship, or who you are. But none of that really matters. Long before I get up to preach, I kneel down to pray. And what do I pray?
- I PRAY THAT ALL WILL BE SAVED. We have a false teaching that since God created us, He is our Father and everyone is His child. That is not true, God created the cattle on a thousand hills, but that does not make them His children. (Psalm 50:10). Jesus taught, as clear as a bell that a person must be born again (John 3:3) and if not born again, they would be lost forever! (John 1:12). St. Paul prayed that Israel might be saved (Romans 10:1), so I pray that every listener to the Christian Worship Hour will also be saved.
- I PRAY THAT ALL WILL GROW IN GRACE. When we accept Jesus into our heart and life, we are born again, that is, we are placed in the Body of Christ. (I Cor. 12:13). But when we start the Christian walk, we are spiritual babies and we have to grow. God wants us to grow into the full stature of Jesus Christ so that, instead of a bunch of whining babies, we have soldiers of the cross conquering the devil’s territory. (Hebrews 5:12-14). That call for Bible reading and study, witnessing for Christ, being in church if able-bodied, helping others in the cause of Christ.
- I PRAY THAT ALL WILL SERVE JESUS. That is, that everyone who names the Name of Jesus will do something for Jesus. If you are a shut-in, you can serve Jesus by being sweet, by telling those around you how Jesus helps you. Always be ready to put in a good word for our Lord. (Pet. 3:15). For the able bodied, help someone in need. Bake them a cake, if you are able to make something fit to eat. Rake some lawns, clean some windows, and serve those you know. And, for goodness sake, help others come to know our Lord.
- I PRAY FOR ALL WHO ARE AFRAID. I know full well that some are afraid of death, and well they should be if they do not personally know the Lord. (Heb. 10:31). There are all sorts of fears running around the countryside. Fear of old age, fear of poor health, fear of what tomorrow may bring, fear of losing our job, fear of losing a loved one, there just is no end. So my prayer is that those who worship with us will find new faith in the Savior and place all things in His hands. They are loving, nail-pierced hands, and they will bring comfort, if we lean on Jesus. (Matthew 11:28-31)
- I PRAY THAT WE WILL ALL MEET IN HEAVEN! Won’t it be great when we get to heaven and gather around the throne of God. (Rev. 5:9, 10). And though we have not met in this world, we will meet, and know each other in the next and better world. We will meet, and know all the saints of the ages, and those who worshipped around the Christian Worship Hour because as we worshipped Jesus, we will be drawn closer to each other in the celestial land. So, take heart teammate, and help us carry on.
- I PRAY THAT GOD WILL PRVODE ALL OF OUR NEEDS. And we have plenty! By faith we have added EIGHT NEW TV STATIONS so as to reach more people with the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ. (Matt. 28:19, 20).
- I PRAY THAT GOD WILL TALK TO HIS PEOPLE. About these needs since we have no other source of income. I know He will. (Phil. 4:19).
So our Battle Cry: PRAY GIVE TELL OTHERS
God bless you, I’ll be looking for you this weekend.
In our Savior’s love,
Harold E. Salem, pastor
Thank You for Writing...
“Thank you for the DVD’s. I send them to the Wisconsin State Prison every month. God bless the team.”
ALEXANDRIA, MINNESOTA
“Thank you for bringing the True Word of God. We don’t need the bells and whistles just the Word of God and that is what you do. Jesus Bless you Pastor. Love in Christ…”
PORT LUCIE, FLORIDA
“Just wanted to let you know my daughter, Lori, accepted the Lord in her life about a month ago—the Angels were rejoicing in Heaven, I know. I have been praying for this along time—my prayers were answered. She was receiving your message on the material you were sending her. Thanks again for your old time preaching that you can understand.”
RED OAK, IOWA
“I have stopped praying and going ahead with stopping my scripture memory. I have left off doing these two important parts of the Christ-life. Please pray earnestly that I can recover myself out of the destruction of my Christian life. I’m drifting into darkness making Jesus last in my life. I don’t feel the worst disaster yet but I know I’m in a drift away from my PILOT JESUS! PLEASE PRAY that I’ll get back toward the HAVEN of rest again! “A “DRIFTING” Believer…”
PEABODY, KANSAS
“I lost the love of my life. He went to be with the Lord. Please remember me in your prayers. I am very lonely, but Jesus is with me. From time to time I’ll send a little offering. I only have Social Security income. May the Lord bless and keep you.”
NEWPORT, TENNESSEE
“I first started watching your program about 3 ½ years ago. I was in a desperately backslidden state and had decided to come back to the Lord. Your program has continued to guide and encourage me every week. I have told many of my friends to listen to your messages and they will get it. Praise God for you and a few Godly friends that did not give up on me. I will thank you one day in Heaven. With love in Christ……”
MONROE, IOWA
“I just wanted to tell you how much your message on 4-21-13 helped me. My daughter and I attended a friend’s funeral earlier that week and the minister referred to the deceased as asleep. That was not comforting to us. One of our grandsons was watching you with us and he seemed comforted by your message also.”
LECOMPTON, KANSAS
“Thank you for your great service. It reminds me of when I was young and going to the 1st Assembly of God Church. It was very quiet but meaningful.”
HELENA, MONTANA
“I watch your worship hour on T.V., and I’m very inspired by your preaching and your entire services. It helps fill my spiritual needs and is a blessing to me, as I am not able to attend my church of which my son is a Pastor. I love to hear a man preach from the Bible as you. And also the good music. Keep up the good work. Your Brother in Christ…”
INDEPENDENCE, MISSOURI
“By giving money to you, I’m helping to spread the seed. I’m not able to go myself but you do that for me. Thank you!”
PIPESTONE, MINNESOTA
“Thank you so much for your weekly Christian Worship Hour. I cannot wait for Sunday morning to come. I am a Purple Heart Veteran and enjoy your sermons and music so much and it is hard for me to get out anymore. Bless you and your staff.”
KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI (87 year old World War II Veteran)
“Two months ago, my beloved mother, Mary Ann Frieda Harnack went to Heaven, being called home by her Lord. Mary Ann watched the Christian Worship Hour weekly, and she promised if she got to Heaven before you Pastor Harold, she would say Hi to your beloved wife. I watched the service with mom when I was back visiting my parents. (Her daughter and fellow Christian!)”
REMSEN, IOWA
