Idaho Abortion Human Rights Act Meeting

Posted on Leave a comment on Idaho Abortion Human Rights Act Meeting

Today, there is no way to claim simple ignorance on what’s going on when a baby is aborted from the womb. Anyone wanting to claim it is humane or kind to remove the living human from the womb before natural birth has deliberately chosen to ignore truth and has a seared conscience.

“You shall not murder.” God


(Exodus 20:13)

On behalf of all unborn who enter the city of Twin Falls and all children in the womb across the state of Idaho, on behalf of the silent child in great need today, on behalf of the child who has no way to flee his enemy, I am pleased to invite you to attend a special meeting on August 1, 2019. Join me as we prepare for the duty to interpose on behalf of our fellow Triune-God image bearing neighbors.

My friends Bear Morton, pastor at Magic Valley Bible Church, and Christopher Folkerts, pastor at New Covenant United Reformed Church and I have the privilege to host an hour long radio program on Thursdays at 9 a.m. (mountain time). Pastors Round Table is hosted by our friend Bill Colley at Newsradio 1310 KLIX.

On August 1st, we will host a region wide gathering to educate, collaborate, and most importantly pray about moving forward to address abolishing abortion in Idaho. This will not be easy or make anyone popular.

Attend this meeting on August 1, at Eastside Baptist Church (204 Eastland Drive North) in Twin Falls. Not only will we discuss the proposed Idaho Abortion Human Rights Act legislation and meet the sponsors, Representative Heather Scott(District 1) and Representative John Green (District 2) along with Scott Herndon, we will also open our Bibles and hear what God would have us do in our day.

Come at 6 p.m. to meet the legislators and the Pastors Round Table team. The main event will begin at 7 p.m. Seating is limited, but we will do all we can to accommodate the seating needs of all who attempt to come. Parking will be limited so you may want to plan ahead and car pool from the Kmart parking lot with friends or park at Web Nursery.

For the glory of God, come and prepare to mobilize for the day.

Meet Bear Morton

Posted on Leave a comment on Meet Bear Morton

On February 4, 2018 Eastside Baptist will host our second Burning in the Soul preaching series. I have invited “Bear” Morton, pastor of Magic Valley Bible Church in Twin Falls, to come and preach what is burning in his soul.

Meet Greg “Bear” Morton:

Bear has been shepherding God’s people who gather at Magic Valley Bible Church in Twin Falls for more than 17 years. Bear is married to Cherie and they have six children; Stephanie, Jamie, Joshua, Jordan, Madison and Riley.

Bear is an Idaho native, born and raised in Boise. Bear is one of the biblically faithful contributors to the weekly pastors column in the Twin Falls, Times News. (Any time you read one of his columns online be sure to like it and share it. When publications like this get traffic online it communicates to the editor that it is read and it is liked when it is read. Share it on your social media outlets too.)

Magic Valley Bible Church is a faithful preaching post of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ in Twin Falls. You can rejoice in the Lord that there are other faithful churches with faithful biblical preaching happening in the city. This church, MVBC, and this preacher, Bear Morton, are a blessing to all who live in the Magic Valley. Don’t miss out on this.

Gather with me on Sunday, February 4, 2018 at 6:30 p.m. to hear a word from God delivered through this local pastor. Be encouraged that there are many faithful preachers. Be challenged in your relationship to Christ. Be corrected by the power of the Holy Spirit as we sit together under faithful preaching.

Bear will be addressing the intercessory work of Jesus from John 17.

Be sure to invite someone to come with you.

Here are some influential books (other than the Bible) that have impacted Bear. Consider reading one this year.

  • Amillennialism and the Age to Come: A Premillennial Critique of the Two-Age Model by Matt Waymeyer
  • Biblical Doctrine: A Systematic Summary of Bible Truth. John MacArthur and Dick Mayhue
  • D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Preaching and Preachers
  • Spurgeon’s Sorrows: Realistic Hope for those who Suffer from Depression by Zack Eswine

 

Burning in the Soul

Posted on Leave a comment on Burning in the Soul

Burning in the Soul

Beginning January 7, 2018 on the first Lord’s Day evening of each month I have invited 12 pastors in the region to gather with us and preach what is burning in their soul.

If at all possible, I want you to attend all of these gatherings. You will meet pastors from as far south as St. George, UT to as far north as Cottonwood, ID. You will meet local pastors from Southern Baptist Churches and local pastors from other faithful bible preaching churches.

As fast as the nation has moved away from God, God has fortified a faithful post of biblical preachers in our day. These are only 12 of them. There are many others like them. I’ve said it many times, and I still say it today; “It is a good day to be the church.”

Here is the list of names and dates for the first half of the year.

We are in a day where the general population of the nation no longer looks at the preacher as a man of God.

When the man of God in our day mentions God in the marketplace he faces a dilemma. If he speaks, the listener may increase in his abuse of him, but if he doesn’t speak he has no inner peace.

The preachers in our day who obey the Lord are learning, like the prophet Jeremiah discovered; that God’s word is burning in his inner-man like a burning fire shut up in his bones.

In 2018, I have asked these preachers to not hold back from what is burning in their souls. Where the atmosphere of the spiritual landscape in our day and nation is different than Jeremiah’s, I want this church to hear what is Burning in the Soul of these men.

May God bless his preachers and may God bless His hungry people.

Open Letter to Magic Valley Bible Church

Posted on Leave a comment on Open Letter to Magic Valley Bible Church

Dear Magic Valley Bible Church,

It was a pleasure to join you this past Sunday evening. Your generosity and kindness to welcome Eastside Baptist Church was what I’ve come to expect from those who claim to be followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. I’m thankful to the Lord for our shared kinship and hope we have in the blood of Christ.

It is a pleasure to labor in the city and valley with your pastor. I look forward to your pastors monthly column in the Times News, I know I can encourage others to read it without reservation. I’ve discovered in our friendship that He loves the Lord and longs to faithfully exhort the treasury of God’s word. In all of my conversations with pastor “Bear”, he speaks of his love for you. It’s clear that He has a great interest in his family and longs to see the gospel banner advanced throughout the world. I count it a pleasure to know your pastor as friend.

May the Lord strengthen your gospel work in the city. May the residents of Twin Falls and the Magic Valley always find you a faithful refuge, heralding a trustworthy message. May you endure with joy in the Lord. May the favor of the Lord rest upon your fellowship.

I’m thankful to the Lord for your laboring ministry and I look forward to more times together. I count it a pleasure to know the Lord’s people of Magic Valley Bible Church and their pastor.

Paul Thompson
Eastside Baptist Church

Posted on Leave a comment on Southern Idaho Bible Lecture Series (tBC010 A, B, and C)

The podcast this week is in three separate parts. TheBridgeCast (tBC010) was recorded at a gathering of believers from various churches throughout the Magic Valley on the Lord’s Day – March 30, 2014. Last night I had this unique pleasure to examine the same piece of Scripture with two faithful heralds of the Gospel. I will post audio recordings of the three lectures from Jeremiah 6:16-17.

First is Bear Morton. Bear is the pastor of the Magic Valley Bible Church in Twin Falls. Listen in as Bear speaks to those gathered at the College of Southern Idaho Fine Arts Center Theater.

Therefore, Hear

Posted on Leave a comment on Therefore, Hear

I hope you are able to join me at the Southern Idaho Bible Lecture Series at the College of Southern Idaho on March 30 at 5PM. This gathering of churches is designed to provide fellowship and encouragement from Scripture as we look unto the Lord.

I’ve invited two men to help me examine Jeremiah 6:16-17.

“Bear” Morton will examine Jeremiah 6:16. Join me as he “stands by the ways” and speaks of the good way and calls us to walk in this good path. This path leads to rest for the weary souls in our day. There is hope in the Lord, walk in His way with me.

Jeff Norton, a watchman on the wall, will sound the “trumpet”. This clarion sound is a trustworthy call to walk the Lord’s path.

I’ll examine the response of the people. Surprisingly, many will not listen and most won’t walk the path. But our duty remains as strong as ever… stand by the way and herald the gospel to all, pointing the way to the better rest.

Join us Sunday evening, March 30, 2014 at 5PM.

Thus says the LORD,
“Stand by the ways and see and ask for the ancient paths,
Where the good way is, and walk in it;
And you will find rest for your souls.
But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.‘
“And I set watchmen over you, saying,
‘Listen to the sound of the trumpet!’
But they said, ‘We will not listen.’ Jeremiah 6:16-17 (NASB)
