“I wait for the Lord, my soul does wait, And in His word do I hope.” (Psalm 130:5) One of the things I had to do most in the hospital was to wait. Waiting for the nurse, for pain medications, for various tests, for healing, for the morning to come, and finally to go home.…
Hello Pastors and Church Leaders, I’m sure many of you are in the midst of summer activities and programs. Although COVID changed many of our plans over the past year it’s encouraging to see some annual events like missions trips, youth camps, and VBS programs slowly coming back. Our world needs to hear the gospel of Christ…
How strangely sad it is that some, knowing so much, practise so little. I am afraid that some of you know the gospel so well that for this very reason it has lost much of its power with you, for it is as well-known as a thrice-told tale. If you heard it for the first…
Some of the worst of tyrants have delighted to call themselves kings by divine right, emperors by the will of God, monarchs by the grace of God, and the like. It may be so; I doubt not that many of earth’s tyrants require much grace, lest their crimes should bring them to speedy ruin; and…
Spurgeon: The old man Crucified ‘Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him.’ Romans 6:6 Crucifixion was a lingering death. Our old nature has not been put to death by the sword, or stoning, or burning; it has been crucified; this will bring on a sure death in time, but it is slow.…

Many families took one look at their school district’s remote or hybrid learning offerings this fall and said “no, thank you.” That’s the message gleaned from national and state-specific data on the surging number of homeschooled students this academic year. Prior to the pandemic and related school closures last spring, there were just under two million homeschoolers in the U.S., representing about 3.4 percent of the…

On our website (victorybaptistpocono.com) or on our church’s facebook page .This will not be live but a recording. In the near future we hope to have live streaming setup. Pray…
It came as no surprise last Friday when late in the day word came that the seminary’s Friends and Family Banquet, scheduled for March 30, was cancelled. Fourth Baptist Church had already determined to suspend public congregational worship for two Sundays in response to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s request that gatherings of more than 250…
Victory Baptist Church will be having services until it becomes evident that Monroe County has a lot of confirmed cases. However, we will only have morning services for the rest of the month of March.
During the upcoming weeks, I will be installing and configuring a new theme for our church web site. Things may look and act a little wonky for a while.
