Pastor's Word - Bethany Baptist Church, Newark, NJ: An Essential Excerpt from the Christmas Message
http://bbc-newark.blogspot.com/2012/12/an-essential-excerpt-from-christmas.html
Tuesday, December 25, 2012. An Essential Excerpt from the Christmas Message. 8220;An Eye For The Lowly”. Beloved, it’s Christmas again! When we face these existential realities, nothing can prop us up except the love and strength of an all-knowing and ever-present God. And God’s love and strength are most readily available to those who are conscious of their weaknesses and their low station, and are inclined to ask for help. He has an eye for the lowly.

Pastor's Word - Bethany Baptist Church, Newark, NJ: "Helpless"
http://bbc-newark.blogspot.com/2012/03/helpless.html
Monday, March 19, 2012. There are degrees of this problem; some people have it worse than others, but it all springs from the erroneous notion of what a personal relationship with God entails. In our lesson today, Paul is stressing to the Ephesians that whatever relationship we have with God, God is the initiator. He chooses us, not the other way around. And we are helpless, totally at God’s mercy in all things. I say this even as the troubles of this world never relent. Once understood, this becomes...

Pastor's Word - Bethany Baptist Church, Newark, NJ: On Gay Marriage
http://bbc-newark.blogspot.com/2012/05/on-gay-marriage.html
Monday, May 14, 2012. Beloved, I feel compelled to say a word to you about one of the hot topics of the day- -Gay marriage. There is a lot of heat being generated on this subject, even among the clergy, but far too little light. However, I would remind you that just 45 years ago biblical arguments were used to support the law against the marriage of a man and a woman of different races. I refer you specifically to the Loving v. Virginia case in 1967. I agree with Dr. Delman Coates of the Mt. Enno...The r...

Pastor's Word - Bethany Baptist Church, Newark, NJ: December 2010
http://bbc-newark.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 27, 2010. Help With Passing The Test. This is how the high drama of salvation began: With the birth of a child to a peasant family, a family not especially connected with the powers that be- -a family so marginalized economically and otherwise that they had to flee across the border into Egypt to avoid having their infant killed by King Herod. The popular question, “What Would Jesus Do? 8221; is relevant here. For He is our guide in all matters of life and faith. He becomes Chris...Who i...

Pastor's Word - Bethany Baptist Church, Newark, NJ: An Excerpt From the Message on the Sunday After Newtown
http://bbc-newark.blogspot.com/2012/12/an-excerpt-from-message-on-sunday-after.html
Monday, December 17, 2012. An Excerpt From the Message on the Sunday After Newtown. 8220;Signs of His Nearness”. Advent hope should not come easy. It should not be painless. On the road to “hope against hope”, we ought be tested, especially by the enemy of hope, the Devil himself! Right in the middle of Advent, an atrocity threatens our hope. Already, there are reports that some people in Newtown are removing their Christmas decorations! Posted by Rev. Bill Howard. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Wednesday, November 11, 2009. The Meaning of Fugitive Safe Surrender. By the close of the day on Saturday, November 7th, those who worked as volunteers and those who were paid professionals could hardly be distinguished from one another. Everyone had melded into a team with a shared, and redemptive mission. Those with badges and those with the tee shirts of volunteers! As for Bethany, what an opportunity to engage in service that is at the center of its calling! Posted by Rev. Bill Howard.
