The TEN COMMANDMENTS
Exodus 20:1-17
Then God spoke all these words, saying,
2 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the
land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
3 You shall have no other gods besides Me.
4 You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any like-
ness of what is in heaven above or on earth beneath or
in the water under the earth.
5 You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the
Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity
of the fathers on the children, on the third and the four
fourth generations of those who hate Me,
6 but showing lovingkindness to thousands, to those
who love Me and keep My commandments.
7 You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in
vain, for the Lord will not leave him unpunished who
takes His name in vain.
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work,
10 but the seventh day is a sabbath of the Lord your God;
in it you shall not do any work, you or your son or
your daughter, your male servant or your female
servant or your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you.
11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the
earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the
seventh day; therefore the lord blessed the sabbath day
and made it holy.
12 Honor your father and your mother, that your days
may be prolonged in the land which the Lord your
God gives you.
13 You shall not murder.
14 You shall not commit adultery.
15 You shall not steal.
16 You shall not bear false witness against your
neighbor.
17 You shall not covet you neighbor's house; you
shall not covet your neighbor's wife or his male
servant or his ox or his donkey or anything that
belongs to your neighbor."

God is Faithful:
Hello Friend,
I'm glad you called....
Thank you for visiting the website home of the Dial-A-Prayer
ministry. Our prayer is that you will find the encouragment
and inspiration you need today.
We invite you to call the prayer line
812-473-PRAY
(812-473-7729) anytime
day or night.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but
against principalities, against powers, against
the rulers of the darkness of this world, against
spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12
"...We are not engaged in a human, physical warfare.
Wrestle means to throw or swing. It is a contest
between two opponents that continues until one
hurls the other one down and holds him down. The
word against presents the idea of a personal foe,
face-to-face and hand-to-hand conflict to the finish,
a life and death struggle. Paul is not describing
a Sunday school picnic.."

News:
Pastor's Sunday Sermon on The Seven Personages
of Revelation was excellent. We'll post the sermon
notes on the web site soon. Pastor R.R. stated
"I believe
Bible Prophecy is doubtless unfolding in rapid succession,
and Revelation 12 through 14, could be nearer than
we have dared to believe." Global organizations
have been set up for the Anti-christ to take over
and
rule the world. The image of the beast (Anti-christ)
which the Bible says will talk, may be a highly sophisticated
3d computer program, on screens that will conduct
intelligent conversations with billions of people,
used as a
means of controlling
the Earth's population and making a list of those
who are rebels to the Anti-christ and Satan's plan.
Eventually, the Anti-christ will cause / require
people to worship
even his image. Those who do so will be eternally
doomed and receive God's wrath. Pastor R.R. said
the rapture of the church could happen at any moment
or even if it is delayed it is not far off. Pastor
said he is not certain whether the rapture will
be before the tribulation begins or sometime during
the tribulation
but prays that it comes before.
If you are not saved, today is the day
of salvation, accept Jesus into your heart right
now. When
Jesus died on the cross and paid the penalty for
our sins, He died between 2 sinners / criminals.
One sinner finally accepted Jesus and went
to
heaven,
the
other,
continued to hurl insults, rejecting Jesus. What
one of the two sinners
will
you
be
like? See
the empty tomb of Jesus, He died and rose from
the grave 3 days later witnessed by a guard
of Roman soldiers protecting the tomb with their
lives. The disciples later
could not proclaim the resurrection of Jesus in Jerusalem
had the tomb not been empty. Jesus, God the Son,
paid
it
all for you. We
pray that you will
accept
Him so
that
you
will
go to heaven instead of
hell.
Rev. Doctor R.R. Schwambach will speak at
the Bible Fellowship Hour 10:30 a.m. June 21st 2009
at Bethel Temple Evansville Indiana room 108. He'll
continue speaking on the 7 personages of Revelation.
A topic that he hasn't covered before in detail.
You are invited to attend.
May 14, 2009 From Doug the webmaster: We started
this website years ago, to help people find the
prayer line. We also hoped to direct visitors
to help and resources concerning the Lord God Jesus
Christ. As a
personal
note, Jesus paid the penalty for my sins when He
died on the cross and rose from the grave some
2000
years ago. But I had to accept Him into my heart
to be saved from my sins. Jesus, God the Son, God's
only Son, has paid the price for you too but
you have
to accept Him to be written in God's Book of Life.
You, the reader, can receive this pardon from sin
and eternal life, but only if you accept the pardon.
Please read
the link above concerning
the
most important decision you'll make in your entire
life and make this
crucial decision while there is still time.
It's my personal opinion that the Rapture is very
close and I'd like you to go to Heaven. Be sure!
Be ready, make the decision today!
April 30, 2009 During Pastor's sermon last Sunday,
he mentioned he believes that God will pull Christians
out of the world in the Rapture before the 7 year
tribulation period begins. He detailed from the Bible
how
terrible
times will be during the tribulation period.
According
to the
Bible,
all
life
will die in (apparently all) the oceans, seas,
rivers and streams as God pours out wrath (Revelation
16).
Unbearable
pain, scorching or heat, darkness will also take
place
especially for those that take the mark, worship
satans leader (the beast, the antichrist). Similar
judgment events occured in Egypt during the days
of Moses,
but this
time
it will be worldwide. Pastor R.R. expressed
that "the possiblity of the rapture
is
imminent." imminent: ready to take place
; especially : hanging threateningly over one's head
(definition
from Merrium Websters online dictionary) In
addition, those that had a good opportunity to receive
and accept Jesus' payment of their sin and didn't,
that miss the rapture will have a deluding influence
come over them so they will not accept Christ into
their hearts.
The rapture could happen today! Be ready,
ask
Jesus into your heart now, it's the most important
decision of your entire life!
Sunday April 26, Pastor R.R. will be preaching
at the Bible Fellowship Hour service at Bethel Temple
Community Church 10:25 a.m. Room 108. He'll be speaking
on End Times events from Revelation and Daniel.
April 16, 2009 Pastor R.R. attended the Vanderburgh
County Right to Life Banquet in Evansville Indiana.
His son Rev. David Schwambach closed the event with
prayer. Pastor R.R. didn't meet Alaska Governor Sarah
Palin, but said he was within 12 feet of her at one
time.
Pastor
R.R. observed that the news media miss quoted her
as well as Michael Steele. The Vanderburgh County
Right to Life Banquet is the largest event of its
type in the nation and receives a great deal of leadership
from Members of Bethel Temple Community
Church.
April 20 2009, Site back up, was down for some
days due to a server problem. Special Thanks to
the administrator at ChristianASP.net who host and
support
us.

108 at Bethel Temple. Join over one hundred class members for music, singing,
prayer, teaching, mission reports and a few surprises now and then.
(The service rarely goes more than 55 minutes).
Pastor R.R. Schwambach often teaches the class and I'm sure he'll be glad to
meet you.

What Can One Do?
Not Much – Unless God…
For me, Psalm 1:1-3 is foundational. “Blessed is the man who does not
walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the
seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on His law
he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by steams of water, which
yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does
prospers.”
Someone has written that there are more than 10,000 promises for Believers
in God’s Word. There may be more. I suggest you read, perhaps again, for
your own spiritual enrichment,
1 Kings 8:56;
Romans 4:21;
2 Corinthians 1:20;
2 Peter 1:4;
1 John 2:25;
2 Peter 1:4;
Psalm 30:5;
Psalm 34:19;
Isaiah 43:2;
John 14:1-3;
Romans 8:28;
Rev. 21:4;
Psalm 37:3;
Mark 9:23;
and John 1:12.
I have shouted over David’s words in
Psalm 37:25 and
Jeremiah 29:11.
The Lord promised in Isaiah 60:22 “…a little one will become a
thousand.” Remember in Genesis how Joseph went down into Egypt a slave
and his posterity came out a multitude. Jesus’ disciples were few but
their message became a mighty force and power for Christianity, then –
and now!
So what are we to do?
1. DEPEND UPON GOD! “They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength”–
Isaiah 40:31. It’s all in Him! What He wants of you now, you can do.
2. DEDICATE (rededicate) YOUR TALENTS TO HIM! You say you have so little with
which to serve God. God asks, “What is that in your hand?” You remember!
Moses had a rod and it became a wand. David had a sling and used it to slay
a giant. A little lad had a lunch and Jesus used it to feed a multitude.
A little talent, unnoticed by others, almost forgotten by you, can be multiplied,
if it is dedicated to Him! It will be something you will enjoy, once you’ve
begun.
3. DILIGENCE IN WORK! (Constancy, everlastingly at it) God requires us to sow,
if we would reap (Galations 6:7). Thomas Edison was thought to be a genius,
but he and his co-workers were everlasting at it! Concerning the discovery of
the electric light bulb, he said, “We now know more than 5,000 ways it
will not work.” God says in Galations 6:7 that “we will reap if
we faint not.”
4. DEATH TO SELF! The way to lasting success is DOWN, not up. God looks for
men and women who will die to self and respond to the work HE wants them to
do. It will be something they are able to do and they will be blessed. Jesus
said in John 12:24, “Except a corn of wheat falls to the ground and dies,
it abides alone; but if it dies, it brings forth much fruit.”
Andrew brought Simon Peter to Jesus and 3,000 were saved in one day. Andrew
told about a little boy who offered to share his five loaves and two small fish.
The little boy gave what he had to Jesus. Jesus blessed it, broke it and fed
a multitude.
Will you say to the Lord, “Here are my loaves and fishes. This is what
I can do. Jesus, take them and use me for Your glory.”?

Thanksgiving Eve 2008, the Dial-A-Prayer ministry reached its
53rd anniversary. Because of the Dial-A-Prayer (812-473-PRAY) ministry,
people have
been Saved,
suicides prevented, and the discouraged encouraged and inspired to TRUST GOD,
regardless!
For me, part of my daily schedule includes preparing and recording the prayers.
Others have started similar local ministries, but before long, they gave up.
Among the reasons (such as ministers moving to other churches,) they discovered
it is a ministry that
does not carry its own weight financially.
I felt impressed to initiate this ministry 53 years ago and God has not released
me from this commitment, yet. We have worn out a number of recording machines.
In recent years, we have purchased digital recording equipment and
people may leave a request for specific needs.
The prayer requests have been distributed to our Dial-A-Prayer, Prayer Group
and today, 20-30 people receive these requests in our Lay-Led Tuesday Morning
Intercessory Prayer Group in the Prayer Garden.
Only God knows how many prayers have been answered, but weekly, I do hear of
answered prayer, for
which we are grateful.

Deuteronomy 28 Blessings for Obedience 1 If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth.
2 All these blessings will come upon you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God:
3 You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.
4 The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock-the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.
5 Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed.
6 You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.
7 The LORD will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.
8 The LORD will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The LORD your God will bless you in the land he is giving you.
9 The LORD will establish you as his holy people, as he promised you on oath, if you keep the commands of the LORD your God and walk in his ways.
10 Then all the peoples on earth will see that you are called by the name of the LORD , and they will fear you. 11 The LORD will grant you abundant prosperity-in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your ground-in the land he swore to your forefathers to give you.
12 The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none.
13 The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom.
14 Do not turn aside from any of the commands I give you today, to the right or to the left, following other gods and serving them.
