"God calls a preacher for a ministry. The greatest thing that you will ever discover, is God's will for you and then set
out to do that will of God. Be yourself and serve the Lord where you are. The most absurd thing you can do is to try to
be somebody else. Be yourself and serve Him to the best of your ability. I don't place much stock on glowing reports.
I think you ought to serve the Lord where you are, do what you can, and then go home at night and sleep and rest, then
get up and do the same thing the next day. Mind your own business, and keep on preaching the
gospel. Let the Lord take care of the results. One of the problems in the ministry is that we try to do what someone else
has done, that's a very foolish thing. I want to do what I can do. God called me for a job, and I want to do my work.
Do what you can do where God put you. Do it in your way and God's way, and God will bless you. You can't have
peace in your soul as you grow older unless you have done the will of God. That amounts to a whole lot when you get to
my age. You will have knowledge in your soul that you have done the will of God. Don't measure yourministry by the
standard of the world. A lot of what you read is propaganda and promotion. I heard a preacher say, " If somebody does
not walkthe isle one Sunday, I am dead." I feel sorry for him. It must be awful to live under that kind of pressure, and
have that king of attitude, and then to give your church the idea that you think that way is some kind of suicide. You'll
never pastor a church for any length of time with that attitude. Let the Lord give you the results. If somebody walks
the isle, praise the Lord. If not, praise the Lord anyway. God called me to preach. If they walk the isle, praise the
Lord. If not, I am going to preach anyway, and go on for the glory of God."

We'd like to extend a debt of gratitude to E. L Bynum, Pastor, Tabernacle Baptist Church in Lubbock, Texas.
The site of, O Voce Baptista in Oltenia, the Baptist Pillar, edited by John Reaves, Sr., Pastor, Bible Baptist Church,
Manitoba, Canada, and the many other sites that have allowed us to link to their websites making available their articles
on Baptist doctrine and history as well as the many sources made availabe on the net regarding deception and false
teaching. Their hard work compiling and publishing this treasure trove of facts and historical documents will one day
pay off in eternity. Although, we list these websites, does not mean that we agree with or support everything that they
may publish. Only, when these writings line up with the inspired, infallible, inerrant, preserved King James Bible, do
we concur. We here at Victory Bible Baptist Church take no credit for the many hours these brothers and sisters have
worked to make all of this available. To them we owe our gratitude and thanks! Nor are we in the business of judging
men's souls we leave that to God alone. You will find listed below many of those websites and webpages for your access:
