Letter from Pastor Stout to our congregation-
Greetings to my family in the LORD

I miss my family of Volinia Baptist Church. I pray that we will be reunited again SOON!
The Governor of the State of Michigan has issued her Executive Order No. 2020-21. As Pastor of Volinia Baptist Church, I will now issue my Executive Order No. BIBLE:

Proverbs 3:5-10. Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones. Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. Trust and only fear the Lord which will result in “health to thy navel”, (umbilical cord). Stem cells are used in therapy to cure things like immune deficiencies. Fear of the LORD is “marrow to thy bones”, which produce white blood cells to fight viruses that threaten your health. Honour the LORD; He will care for you!
Proverbs 4:20-23. My son, attend to my words: incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Attend to the word of the LORD! The words of God are “health to all their flesh.” Keep your heart fixed on the LORD and His word so you can have the issues of life flow from you to those whom you are bottled up with. For you see, Proverbs 16:24, Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones. Your words that issue from your heart are “health to your bones”, more white blood cells to fight off viruses! Proverbs 12:18, There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health. Look up these verses in your Bible [Proverbs 15:13, 15, Proverbs 17:22, Proverbs 18:14].
Proverbs 14:30. A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones. A sound (healthy) heart, fixed on the Lord, is life, but envy (jealousy - fixating on what other’s have and you don’t) is rottenness to the bones, which makes your health worse. Proverbs 18:14 The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?
Proverbs 17:22 A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones. Keep your heart merry! Play Christian music or play God’s word aloud, or sing together as a family, laugh together, because a “merry heart doeth good like a medicine.”

We miss you all and love you all and hope this letter accomplished Proverbs 15:30 …a good report maketh the bones fat!

Your servant and Pastor,

Dr. Thomas G. Stout Thd
