Jesus said,
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.Revelation ch.3 verse 20.
Only Christ can change a life,and He is standing at the door every day,knocking and ready to change your life,according to Rev.3:20
Through all the technology though the most important is do you know Jesus Christ as your Savior and forgiver of all sins?The website plan of salvation explains it all.
If you have doubt about where your soul will be after you die,or maybe discouragement and depression and or addictions,or maybe just backslid from God, Jesus can repair it all.

Rev.Blackford
Welcome to the website,
After being ordained and called to the ministry to preach,my wife and I have lived in the Salem,Il.area for many years,while preaching revivals and pulpit supply in the southern Illinois area,as well as working in my home church ministries.Since the passing of my wife in 2024,the Lord called me into full time ministry as Pastor at Emmanuel Baptist Church in Salem Illinois.
God has blessed with souls saved and lives changed at many meetings,but most of all the glory is His for it is nothing we do,but all the Holy Spirit will do in the heart,of each and every one of us today,due to what Jesus did on the cross,as allowed by the Father,because of love for each and every one,no matter your past or present,He is no respector.
If you go through the plan of salvation,and realize you are a sinner just as I was and just as the whole world is,and make a decision to accept Jesus as your savior,please e-mail or contact me,and should the good Lord tarry,I look forward to seeing you someday during preaching services,but,if the trumpet sounds and the call comes,I will see you who are saved over on the other side in Heaven.
I Pray the website is helpful and useful as you check out the many audio/video links,ministry links,articles of faith page,plan of salvation page,prayer request line and daily bible studies to use.
Feel free to contact me any time day or night for any need,or in ministry information.
In Christ,

Be a Five-Star Christian:
A great church is made up of strong Christians and strong Christian families.
Read Gods Word
The Bible says,Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.Reading the Bible is vital to the Christian life. As we read the Bible, we should search the Scriptures, comparing Scripture with Scripture. Also, set a goal to memorize Scripture and meditate on the Word of God. In our personal lives and with our families each day, we need to be reading the Word of God.
Pray
We believe that God hears and answers prayer. There is no doubt
about it, the greatest untapped resource in the Christian life is the matter of prayer. Pray each day. Pray for loved ones. Pray for church leaders and their families. Pray for your church. Pray for our nation. Pray for the lost. Establish a prayer list. Pray.
Attend Church Faithfully
The Lord Jesus Christ deserves your faithfulness. Attend every service of the church. A great deal of the strength of the church is based on the faithfulness of the people. Support special meetings at the church with your faithful attendance.
Give
Gods work is to be supported Gods way. The Bible teaches that we should pay the tithe and give our offerings. Practice tithing as a conviction. Bring the Lord's tithe with you to church each Sunday. Support the ministries of the church with offerings. By faith give to worldwide missions. Support the Christian education endeavors of the church. We cannot outgive God.
Witness to the Lost
Our Lord Jesus Christ came to seek and to save that which was lost. He left us on earth to tell others about the Savior. Determine to bring others to the Savior. Work to bring other families to Christ and to the church. Set a time to go. Make a list of names and addresses of people you want to reach for Christ.
Determine to Be a Five-Star Christian
This is a time when you can be a real help and encouragement to your pastor. May God help you to work together to see something beyond the ordinary accomplished for Christ through your church.
