Have you driven past a home that has sat vacant for a couple months and the yard looks horrible due to lack of attention? In the last few years we have seen this more and more. Homes being foreclosed on and the yards, which were once manicured and beautiful , look absolutely horrid.

Having a beautiful yard takes hard work. You must weed, mow, water, fertilize and treat your yard with care . Failing to do these tasks will result in weeds up to your waist or higher, dead plants, dead grass and a not-so-nice yard.

As I think of my yard, I think of what it takes to have a beautiful walk with God. It takes hard work...we must weed out the bad things, the worldly things that try to creep in to our lives. We must water and fertilize our minds and hearts with the word of God so that we can withstand temptations and build our lives upon a firm foundation of His word. When plants or grass don’t get enough water or sunshine, they can shrivel up and die .

If we don’t have a prayer life or spend time reading the word of God our relationship with Him can die . If we allow worldly lusts or the things of this world to creep into our lives they can consume us just like weeds take over a yard...this can turn our lives into something that is not pleasing to God.

It takes hours to weed and care for a yard...a relationship takes hours as well . Work your hardest for what matters the most. Work for that beautiful relationship with God!

I leave you with a passage that comes to mind Philippians 3:13-14:

“Brethren , I count not myself to have apprehended: but [this] one thing [I do], forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”

4 APOSTOLIC ACCENT September 2012

Pastors, ministers and saints of the Oregon District, we have just finished a tremendous Family Conference. The Lord blessed in a tremendous way. I heard reports of healings and of God’s richest blessings to many who attended. Bro. Mooney was outstanding in his anointed preaching of the Word of God. He brings to us heritage from the past and new vision for the future. I heard from many that his anointed preaching helped them tremendously. Thank God for men like this who are helping keep the church on course.

Bro. Joe Ellis did a wonderful job teaching the Word of God in the day sessions. His experiences and his knowledge of the Word of God so blessed all that were in attendance. I would encourage everyone to get the CDs of these messages by contacting Steve Rehana at 503-674-7729.

Pastors, I especially want to say a big thank you for helping us have another Family Conference come out in the black. I just received our final report from our secretary, Dan Sargeant and was so excited to see what the Lord had provided.

In reading the Bible through this year, it seems that certain Scriptures keep jumping out at me. Scriptures like “remove not the ancient landmarks” Proverbs 22:28, and “buy the truth and sell it not” Proverbs 23:23. I so appreciate ministers who take a strong stand for the rich things in our heritage. Pastors, we must in the last days stay true to God’s Word. As I read through Scripture I see that many leaders did not that which was right in the sight of the Lord. Destruction, defeat and fatalities followed all of these leaders. But to those who followed His

commandments, you see victory after victory. Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a

curse; A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day: And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of

the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.

Deuteronomy 11:26-28I thank God for the Oregon

District and all that pastors and ministers that are following the commandments of the Lord. The Oregon District is primed for revival. Reports come weekly of Holy Ghost infillings and people being baptized. Oregon,

let’s continue to follow His commandments, His truths, His holiness and watch a revival fire spread throughout our state.

Again, thank you to everyone who made Family Conference a success: the District Board, Bro. & Sis. Sargeant, Bro. & Sis. Langley in this transition year, Bro. Sparks and the ushering staff, Ryan Murphy and the sound staff, Sis. Donna Pollard and the worship leaders, Bro. Hansen and the platform coordination, and all the choirs and special singers. Let’s believe in faith and see bigger and greater things happen in our district.◊___________________________________________

Just GoBy Stan Gleason

In Luke 17, Jesus entered a village where ten lepers asked Him to have mercy on them. In verse 14 the Bible says, “And when he [Jesus] saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.”

The lepers were cleansed as they went. Jesus didn’t tell them why to go show themselves to the priests. We don’t always know why God wants us to GO. We can’t always see the end from the beginning, but obedience

unlocks understanding.You will never understand

some of God’s commands until you obey them. One of the most popular church growth writers of today says, “Never start anything until you know where it’s going to take you.” That is probably a good principle to follow most of the time, but maybe there are times where God tests us by asking us to GO even when we don’t have a gameplan. Abraham was called to go and obeyed “not knowing whither he went.”

Jesus never told the lepers

they were going to be healed, he just said GO… no promises, no guarantees… their miracle was as they went.

There are miracles in store for those who will obey God in blind obedience and GO.◊____________________________

Invaluable advice for young people:

1. Never ask for anything that costs more than $5 when your mom or dad are doing their taxes.

2. When your dad is mad and asks, “Do I look stupid?” don’t answer him.

3. Never tell your mom her diet isn’t working.

4. Don’t pick on your sister when she’s holding a baseball bat.

5. If you get a bad grade, wait to show it to your mom when she’s on the phone.

6. Stay away from prunes. 7. Never dare your little brother

to paint the family car. 8. Never try to baptize a cat. 9. Never spit when riding a roller

coaster. 10. Remember two places you’re

always welcome – Grandma’s house and church.

By Bill Tittsworth

I remember as a young person growing up I was often faced with challenges that I quickly convinced myself could not be done. Of course I had no way of knowing if the challenge I was facing was doable or not because I had decided I wouldn’t even try. This attitude of not trying was very annoying to my dad, especially since the attitude of not trying was always accompanied by the words “I can’t.” This response was always answered by dad with the words “can’t never did nothing.”

Even as adults it seems we find ourselves unwilling to face new challenges. It seems easier to just not try than to go through all the effort to only prove what we already knew “I can’t.”

According to Webster’s dictionary the word try (at least in the context that I’m using) means to make an attempt at.

Of course God who has all power, wisdom and knowledge never “tries” to do anything, He just does it.

God never attempted to create man, He never attempted to create the world or made an attempt to save us, the truth is He knew He could and He did.

But alas here we are fallen humanity, full of faults and failures and when our heavenly father asks us to do a work for Him we respond “I can’t.”

Possibly the greatest failure of all is not the person who attempted and failed but the one who never even tried.

God’s work on this earth will be done by fallible people, who do not know the rest of the story of what they are attempting to do. The effects of one act can become staggering whether it is successful or a failure. To fear to tell someone about the saving power of Jesus Christ because you might tell them wrong and thereby cause them to be lost is kind of pointless since they are already lost. So, how much risk is involved when reaching out to lost people and because of some err on our part we cause them to be lost? Well, the point is nothing has changed, they are still lost. Yet, there is always the possibility that the lost could be found, but that will never be known if nobody tries.

I found that my response to my dad of “I can’t” was usually not that I couldn’t, but more that I wouldn’t. With around 350 million people in the USA, and about 3.5 million in the state of Oregon, to hear someone say “I can’t find anyone to reach”, quite honestly translates “I won’t”.

So, why try? Because lost is lost and no one deserves to die lost.◊____________________________

An article in a recent Forward magazine regarding church staff meetings caught the attention of our pastor, Kevin Goodwin. Three words especially stood out to him and subsequently became the theme of a mini-series of sermons. These are now forming the basis of a vision and mission for our church: CONNECT, IMPART, and INFORM.As the message for this Sunday came forth on the subject of Inform, I not only jotted down notes relevant to my personal involvement in the life of our local church and community, but also ways in which the themes apply to evangelizing our world. Since the three subjects are too broad for me to treat in one article, let’s start with the vitally important need we all have to CONNECT - with God, with one-another, and with the nations of the world. The first few verses of Acts 13 illustrate how these are integrated.Acts 13:1-6 (NKJV) Now in the church that was at Antioch there were certain prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and

Saul. 2 As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” 3 Then, having fasted and prayed, and laid hands on them, they sent them away. 4 So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus. 5 And when they arrived in Salamis… 6 Now when they had gone through the island to Paphos…The first order of business is for us to CONNECT WITH GOD for he is the Lord of the harvest. The occasion cited above was a Corporate Connection for it is written that “they” (certain prophets and teachers in the church that was at Antioch) “ministered to the Lord and fasted.” Each was in contact with the Lord; all were joined to him.A prophecy was uttered in Genesis 49:10 which specified that Judah would continue a distinct tribe until the Messiah came; and it did so. “And unto him,” said Jacob, “shall the gathering of the people be.” Whenever we gather in his name to worship him, there ought to be a connection established

between deity and humanity. Have you noticed that it is usually during our seasons of prayer, worship and fasting that the Holy Spirit speaks?We must also CONNECT WITH THE MINISTERIAL BODY. Sure we are busy; our scheduling calendar is full of places to go, people to see and things to do, but we dare not ignore the biblical “one-another” concept. “Certain prophets and teachers” connected with one another in the church that was at Antioch. It is in this type of setting that our vision is elevated beyond our local sphere of operation to encompass the uttermost part of the world. It was in our chapel services at Conqueror’s Bible College (1969 – 1972), while in close fellowship with fellow ministers and under the influence of anointed messengers from such as John and Ruby Klemin, Ralph Reynolds, Jet Witherspoon, E. G. Moyer, and Edwin Judd, along with numerous guest missionaries and like-minded preachers, that a vision and a burden for foreign missions was transmitted to me. It was likewise through this connection at CBC that missionaries and their spouses

We must CONNECT WITH THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD. “Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them,” was the directive that came from the Holy Spirit in Acts 13.2. So it was that under the authority of the ministerial body and the Spirit himself, two men were commissioned as missionaries and sent forth to preach the

gospel in regions beyond. “For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent?” (Romans 10.12-15 NKJV)Every saint, whether or not he or she holds a ministerial title, is under a divine mandate to be involved in some way to evangelize the lost. Pastor, how about casting a vision that is bigger

than your local congregation and city, county, section and Oregon? What do you say we all get on board and respond generously to the call for prayer, fasting and giving that is issued through North American Missions, and the respective ministries of our Ladies, Youth, Sunday School and Men; but please don’t neglect Global Missions. Ample scriptures testify that this aspect of CONNECTING is the supreme will of God. Get hooked up. ____________________________

“He spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What means these stones? Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land. For the Lord your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you, until ye where passed over….” Joshua 4:21-24.

Parents: Set up an Altar as a ‘memorial’ for your family. The story is told about three adult children going back to the old homestead to settle the estate and to dispose of their parent’s clothes and possessions. The children had left many years before, scattered, and established themselves many miles apart. They had drifted away from their elderly parents and from their parent’s faith.

As they started to organize the stuff—most with little monetary value—they came upon an old bench that brought back so many memories. It was the bench that the whole family would kneel around each morning for family devotions. They gathered around it in silence. Finally one went and got the old family Bible out of a box they had just packed. She brought it back and opened it and placed it on the prayer bench. Without a word, all three knelt down and once again committed their lives to God—and to the faith of their parents.

I believe in memorials! God commanded Joshua to chose a man from each tribe to pick up a boulder from the middle of dry Jordan and to take it up to the riverbank, there to make a pile of rocks. The reason given was, so when, the generations to come ask their fathers, “What is the meaning of these stones?” The fathers were then to tell their children, “Son, we were a people wandering around in the wilderness, …but God brought us across the Jordan on dry ground –with a mighty hand”.

I believe in memorial services. God told Israel to kill a lamb, to roast and eat the lamb –but to also collect the blood in a basin and to gather the children around and paint the blood on the mantle and on the sides of the doorpost –“So that when the generations to come ask, What does this service mean?”—At the time of the Passover, the father was to reconstruct the service and retell the story of their deliverance from slavery.

The Outlet Campground in Ontario, Canada still stands as a memorial in my mind—with it’s great tent, sawdust floors, dirt and flies—for there I met God. It also was the place my father wrestled with God and finally accepted his call to the Ministry.

At Sister Ruby Klemin’s Memorial the family gave out pinecones, bringing back memories of the pinecones thrown in the bonfire at the dedication services she held at Youth Camps around the country. It also brought back memories of the promises they made to God many years before.

I believe in a family altar. I

remember so well the Sunday that we came home from church and my daughter, Yvonne, looking me in the eye and saying, “Dad, Why are we not having a family altar in our home?” Yvonne was twelve years old at the time. Under conviction I came up with excuses about being so busy and not having the time.

I did believe strongly in breakfast—and eating breakfast together before we all went our separate ways. God’s voice came to me that day so strongly; “You have time for breakfast, don’t you?” “Yes, Lord we do take time for breakfast”. God then said, “If you have time for breakfast you have time to take down the Bible, read a passage and pray together”. “I said, Yes Lord!”

That was over forty years ago, and for all these years we have set up a memorial of having family prayer at the breakfast table. It never was long—but it was so important. Yvonne is now my Pastor’s wife. [Not everybody can give the Pastor’s wife a hug and a kiss on Sunday morning.]

Advice: THE FATHER SHOULD BE

RESPONSIBLE –if there is a father in the home.

1. It must be a way of Life2. It must be a Time and an Event3. It should be a Place or a Piece

of Furniture4. The length should be

determined by the age of the youngest child

5. Do ask for Specific Things -so you can give Specific Praise

6. Do read the Bible as part of the Worship Service

7. Be Positive -Make the service loving and warm

8. Make the service interesting 9. Make it a memorial –So that

when your children ask...BUILD AN ALTARCain and Able did itNoah did it -Gen 8:21Abraham did it -Gen 12:7Jacob did it -Gen 28 &32Joshua did it -Ex 17:15Moses did it -Ex. 24 :4Elijah repaired it I Kings 18:30Isaiah saw the Lord above it Is.
