Lasker Baptist thoughts from Rev Ricky

"It is God's Spirit and only God's Spirit that can rightly interpret the words of life to our spirits. That's why I pray that God will help me to stick to the text when preaching, not doing so much of what I used to do, showing off my cross referencing skills and making things fit my world view, but presenting texts in a way that will encourage thought and promote personal seeking of God, Then trust the Holy Spirit ti interpret the material to the heart of individuals, who knows, he may have a different message for each of us all from the same passage. One thing is for sure, we all have a different ministry." Reverend Ricky Barnes




About Lasker Baptist church in Lasker NC: "We seek to act as a moral force in the world, believing that ethical living is the supreme witness of religion. Let your light so shine before others that they may see your good works and glorify your father which is in heaven. What we do here and now and the effects our actions will have on future generations deeply concern us. We know that our relationships with one another, with other peoples, races and nations, should be governed by justice, equity, compassion. It is our conviction that, as the Body of Christ, we are to bring the healing, saving, life giving power of God wherever needs exist in the world. Come and Celebrate life with us tomorrow.
