"Thank you for your preaching the Truth! I am an historic Southern Baptist.
I attended your church back in October, when I was on a business trip in Muscle Shoals. I was very encouraged by your church and I continue to be encouraged by your messages.

May God continue to bless your ministry!"
Jeffrey, South Carolina

"I greatly appreciate your ministry. I often listen to your services and sermons online and I have been challenged, convicted, and comforted by them.

My family has been looking for a church for about a month and a half. If someone would have told me about the state of churches before I began visiting them I would never believed it to be so far spread. Preachers who don't use the bible or who use the passage for their message completely out of context and members who don't care or don't recognize both inexcusable.

I am contacting you to see if you are affiliated or know of any churches in my area that preach, teach, and live the truth of the bible. I live in Whitwell, TN which is a small rural area but it is only about 45 minutes from Chattanooga, TN.

If you can or will help I greatly appreciate it. If you are unaware of the area or any churches in the area, please pray for my family that we follow God and find His local church for us."

"It is certainly amazing how God works. January of this year I was truly struggling spiritually. My pastor sat down with and began to explain the doctrines of grace and the sovereignty of God. Then one of my closest friends invited me to go along with him to The Church Discipline Conference.

God has truly worked with me since then. One month ago I was called to preach. I preached my first sermon April 20 on Philippians 2:13-20. The truth that was laid forth at your conference was amazing. I thank you all truly for having a strong passion for Biblical truth.

Pray for me and mine as I continue in prayer for you and your church."

"Our great God is truly worthy of all our praise!  I praise Him for granting the preachers and teachers from First Baptist Muscle Shoals and its "partner" churches the wisdom and insight into His joyous truths!

After God saved me from the death and condemnation of my sin against Him, He has been so faithful in leading me in the truth of His grace.  First Baptist Muscle Shoals and Anchored in Truth have proven to be a wonderful blessing!

Thank you for all your resources and concern!  But most of all, I thank and praise our great God, through the Lord Jesus Christ, because we are seated with Him in heavenly places!"

"Dear Mr. Noblit,

I've just listened to your sermon, The Bible Driven Church. I am a member of a Methodist Church in the U.K. Our Minister has to look after 3 churches so we only see him once every 3 weeks for a service. To fill the gap we have local preachers, men and women. Half of all our preachers are women. The services start off well, but they always take a different turn after the first hymn. I don't know what they teach them in training, but they almost always use "props" of some kind to illustrate the message of the day. One that grieved me dreadfully was a preacher who after an initial time of worship at the start of the service came down from the pulpit bouncing a football, and declared to us, "Now the fun starts!" He got one of our Church Stewards to start kicking the ball about at the back of the church with one of the children...football training! He got the folk responsible for doing the financial accounts to come to the front and also those responsible for the catering. I
think he was trying to illustrate how important teamwork is, and that we are all different parts of the one body. I just froze in my seat and wished the floor would swallow me up. I wanted them to stop; it was irreverent! This spoiled the rest of the service for me, as I was so angry. I couldn't fault the rest of the service as the sermon was biblical.....it was just that part at the beginning. But worse is to come...one woman preacher brings her puppets with her! Another produced a skateboard with a small parachute on the end. Frequently they get us laughing when they come down from the pulpit to "engage" with us during the time of "illustration of the message." There is no laughing for me...the reverent atmosphere at that point is broken, and I find it hard to retrieve. Once, the ENTIRE SERVICE on Sunday morning was a PUPPET SHOW! The puppets sang the Monkees song "I'm A Believer" with the words changed. There was a strong salvation message, and I was told it was to
celebrate the anniversary of Junior Church, and it only occurred once a year and we would have to be children for a day.

But today I heard your preaching, and that's the sort of thing I want to hear in church. We only have Bible Study Group once a month, and that is only for one hour. No more than half a dozen people come to it. Our Minister has told me that he admires a theologian by the name of Paul Tillich. He does not believe in a literal, physical Second Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and has no time for End Times Prophecy. Our minister describes himself as a "Liberal Evangelical". I am so disappointed in him....I have no confidence in him. It's preachers like yourself and Paul Washer that our church needs!

My mother who is 70 comes with me....we get a lift....we don't drive, so cannot move to another church outside our locality. They are all the same inside the locality...except maybe the Baptists, who don't have an actual church building, but meet in a British Legion Hall. But even the Baptists in the UK have shown signs of being '"leavened." Thank you for that sermon, Mr. Noblit; I am becoming so disillusioned with my own church that I have taken to listening to SermonAudio on the internet now! There is such a wealth of good teaching there, and I thank the Lord that I am able to use a computer at home to avail myself of it. If there is anything that you would like to say in response to what is happening with my church, then this would be much appreciated."

"I have been so encouraged by Bro. Jeff's preaching.  Wow!  Divine providence to find him, very, very rare in the liberal northeast here in Vermont.  May you all be ever aware and thankful for what you have in your church.  Be mindful that the "milky way" and "seeker" churches are failing where it counts (although few notice).  I'm waiting to see Bro. Jeff on the platform with MacArthur, Mohler, and Sproul!"
Jim, Vermont

"I was so blessed by this sermon, "God Helps Those Who Cannot Help Themselves." It was so good to hear the truth! The last church I was in, the pastor would say, "God helps those who help themselves." After I heard that I was so depressed. If anything depends on us, there is NO hope. Thank you so much!!"

"I am an associate pastor in Arizona. I just wanted to drop you a note to express my deep appreciation for your pastor, Bro. Jeff, and Paul Washer. It is so refreshing to hear your pastor stand up for truth with a heart of compassion and a theological backbone of steel. I pray God's blessing on your church."
