"Howell Area Baptist Church News "
We are Not Just Howell County Baptist Association but we are a special group of folks known as Howell Area Southern Baptist Association of twenty four churches in Howell, Oregon, Ozark and Shannon Counties. Our name changed in 1981 as we dropped the word county as we became an area association. We are so blessed to know and share the fellowship with the fine Christians on the edges of our surrounding counties.

Howell Area Baptist Association:“Let’s Ask God” I am completely amazed at the total anti-Christ attitude the world, but worse, my nation has developed. Miss California’s answer that one-man, one-woman marriage is best draws outrage from gay activists. Yet none seem to care if Christians and their beliefs and life styles are attacked. No one seems to consider it a hate crime when traditional family values are attacked. All of a sudden once again we are called racist if we do not agree with politics and this is now being accused of all races, not just black and white. Christian people are not racist, not anti gay, anti youth, anti senior adult or anti gender whether male or female. We are however anti sin. I am saddened to know that I could possibly be jailed for preaching the Word of God which I am called to do. We consider it love to explain sin but more so to show God’s answer to sin. It is and will always be Jesus Christ My Savior. Most Christians and denominations in our Christian faith do not agree on every detail of the Word of God. We do agree on this one thing and that is that Jesus Christ is our Savior and that His Word is sure, true and unchanging. I as a Christian Southern Baptist Preacher will preach God’s Word. God is Love and that is what I preach. The devil does not like the truth. I still believe in a God that loves America and I believe in an America that will respond when we are attacked. I do not believe in these so called hate crimes but I do believe all hate is a crime. It is astounding how afraid most are becoming of Jesus Christ. It is acceptable to teach about any type of religion except Jesus Christ. He cannot be allowed in many public places nor His name mentioned but yet He is there. His name is used by people of terrible language when they are outraged yet they claim He does not exist. And they claim I’m crazy for believing He is the Son of God. I am once again returning to the wisdom of Granny Clampett of the Beverly Hillbillies. She said, “Jed, do you get the feeling we’re a living with a bunch of nuts?” I am amazed at how much we can find to argue about and how much we believe, because THEY said so. We argue about baptism, Lord's supper, boss in church, grace, calvinism, tongues, prayer language and the word of God. It sounds like the tower of Babel all over. We should be reminded that it is not the world nor God that has let us down but we as believers in Jesus Christ that has let the world down. Let us be very careful not to get siphoned into racism or into what our Republicans or Democrats can do. It looks like we’ve done enough. Let’s ask God to take hold and let’s follow. May God Really Bless You! Psalms 50:15 Bro Bob Wood DOM
We challenge and pray for each one of you to win one soul this year
I have been allowed to visit in our churches in many types of services and as usual had the privilege of preaching often.
Thanks for helping Regina and I to never feel like visitors or guests, but part of your family.
