IN THE BEGINNING....

11/30/2016

Those are not only the opening words of the Bible, they are also a most important fact of life for everyone of us. Everything (and everyone) has to start somewhere. Except of course GOD, who clearly had no beginning , but that is a subject for a later time.

Creation had a beginning...read the first 2 chapters of Genesis (oh! that's interesting, the word Genesis means "beginnings")
Man himself had a beginning.... yep you guessed it, I am NOT an Evolutionist
Man's separation from God had a beginning....Genesis chapter3
God's plan of salvation had a beginning ...we first learn about it in Gen. 3:15 after man became separated from God, but rest assured, God Made The Plan Before He Made The Man....more on this later.
The Lord's Church had a beginning....subject for a later time😊
Sulphur Fork Missionary Baptist Church had a beginning..... I would insert a link to www.sulphurforkmbc.org/about if I knew how...but since this a "beginning" for me I haven't progressed (notice I didn't say "evolved"....words matter) that far yet. If you go there you will find a short history of our beginnings.
And of course, this blog has a beginning....and this is it!

I will get better at this. Will try to keep it "pithy" as Bill O'Reilley says. Will try to keep it current and relative. Not my intent to go into long written sermons...if you like long sermons just come and join us in services at Sulphur Fork and as everyone will tell you.... they are plenty long😇

Pastor:

My name is Daniel (Danny) Chandler and I am the Pastor of Sulphur Fork Missionary Baptist Church in Sumner Co. TN.

I was saved on Nov. 20, 1962 when I was 13 years old. Although I was baptized and joined that church the same year, it wasn’t until I started attending Old Time Missionary Baptist Church in Elizabeth, WV in April of 1980 that the Lord showed me the church I belonged to was unsound. I was baptized into Old Time MBC on Sept. 21, 1980.

The Lord called me to preach during a Revival in August of 1982, but I didn’t yield to it until Feb. 12th 1983. I was Ordained by authority of Old Time MBC on Nov. 8, 1986. I have Pastored churches in WV, Ohio, TN and Australia. I have been involved in several mission works, both in and out of the USA, two of which were organized into independent churches.

I live in Lafayette, TN with my wife of 47 years, Cindy. We have two children. Nicole Chandler Lucas (Robert) and Nathan Bradley Chandler (Carly), both also reside in Lafayette with their families totaling 8 grandchildren. Nicole and her family attend Maple Grove MBC No. 2 in Lafayette. Nathan and his family attend Dover MBC in Scottsville, KY where Nathan is the Pastor.
