Back To The Old Paths

Pastor Dale Massengale, of the Pleasant View Baptist Church, of McQuady, KY, preaches there on Wednesday evening, March 15, 2023.
Philippians 3:7-14 KJB: 7   But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
8   Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
9   And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
10   That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
11   If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
12   Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
13   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,
14   I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Brother Wyatt Tucker, of the Pleasant View Baptist Church, of McQuady, KY, exhorts there on Sunday evening, March 12, 2023.
Luke 18:18-30,19:1-10 KJB: 18   And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
19   And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.
20   Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.
21   And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.
22   Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
23   And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.
24   And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
25   For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26   And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?
27   And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
28   Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.
29   And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,
30   Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.
1   And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
2   And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
3   And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.
4   And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.
5   And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.
6   And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
7   And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
8   And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.
9   And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
10   For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

Isaiah 1:1-20 KJB: 1   The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
2   Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.
3   The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.
4   Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.
5   Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
6   From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.
7   Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
8   And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
9   Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
10   Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
11   To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.
12   When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?
13   Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
14   Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.
15   And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
16   Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
17   Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
18   Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
19   If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
20   But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

Mark 16:15 KJB: 15   And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

Evangelist David Wells, out of the Pleasant View Baptist Church, of McQuady, KY, preaches on a Sunday evening some time ago, at the Little Rock Baptist Church, of Glade Spring, VA.
Jude 1:1-13 KJB: 1   Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:
2   Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
3   Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
4   For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
5   I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
6   And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
7   Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
8   Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
9   Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
10   But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
11   Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
12   These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
13   Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

John 9:1-34 KJB: 1   And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
2   And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
3   Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
4   I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
5   As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
6   When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,
7   And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.
8   The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
9   Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.
10   Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?
11   He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.
12   Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
13   They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.
14   And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
15   Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.
16   Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
17   They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.
18   But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.
19   And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?
20   His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
21   But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.
22   These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
23   Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
24   Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.
25   He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
26   Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?
27   He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?
28   Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples.
29   We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is.
30   The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.
31   Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
32   Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.
33   If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.
34   They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

17   But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
18   How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
19   These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
20   But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
21   Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
22   And of some have compassion, making a difference:
23   And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
24   Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
25   To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

Assistant Pastor Keith Voyles, of the Pleasant View Baptist Church, of McQuady, KY, testifies/preaches there on Wednesday evening, March 8, 2023.
1 Samuel 2:23-3:3 KJB: 23   And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people.
24   Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make the LORD's people to transgress.
25   If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against the LORD, who shall intreat for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the LORD would slay them.
26   And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with the LORD, and also with men.
27   And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Did I plainly appear unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh's house?
28   And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to offer upon mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel?
29   Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded in my habitation; and honourest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people?
30   Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
31   Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in thine house.
32   And thou shalt see an enemy in my habitation, in all the wealth which God shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thine house for ever.
33   And the man of thine, whom I shall not cut off from mine altar, shall be to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thine heart: and all the increase of thine house shall die in the flower of their age.
34   And this shall be a sign unto thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas; in one day they shall die both of them.
35   And I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in mine heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before mine anointed for ever.
36   And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left in thine house shall come and crouch to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests' offices, that I may eat a piece of bread.
1   And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; there was no open vision.
2   And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place, and his eyes began to wax dim, that he could not see;
3   And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep;
