Your weather just got better.

Welcome to pilotknob.org ...
Thanks for visiting. We're excited about what pilotknob.org can offer to both members of Pilot Knob Lutheran and the surrounding community. There are many churches in the North Iowa area, each with its unique ability of serving in the Body of Christ. We pray you find the congregation God has chosen for you to serve.

We encourage you to not only take a look around, but also tell us about your visit: how you use the web site, and what you'd like to see added to pilotknob.org. We desire to be a resource for the Christian and non-Christian alike. Thank you, and may God enrich your day.

We hope you'll visit us in person, too! We a short drive from numerous communities: Forest City, Fertile, Hanlontown and Joice, Iowa.

“I tell you the truth, the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber.” —John 10:1

“Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.” —John 3:18

This reminds me of the border problem we have in Arizona. There is a proper and legal way to become an American Citizen. This will give a person right passage into the United States with all the benefits. This way there is no reason to hide, fear or run from authorities.

However, 13-14 million have decided there must be other ways to enter America and benefit from her liberty and wealth. It’s by climbing over the fence, walking through openings or gaps in the fence or where there is no wall of separation.

By entering this way do they become citizens of the United States? No! Should they? No! Becoming a citizen with all its rights and privileges one must come the proper way, in fact the only way provided by the law.

There is a place to gain entrance far better than America and that is the Kingdom of God. There is only one way to enter God’s Kingdom and that is through faith in Jesus as savior and Lord.

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.” —Ephesians 2:8-9

“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” —Acts 4:12

Now when someone doesn’t like that then they seem to create other way and ideas to get in, they climb over the fence hoping to stay. They tell themselves there are many ways to heaven. In reality there is one way for all people for all time—through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, period. He will turn no one away!

You or anyone else will not be able to follow Buddha, Allah, Self, New Age religion, Unitarianism, etc., and expect to become a citizen of God’s Kingdom.

Jesus wants you to trust Him for salvation, full and free. Will you turn away from bogus saviors and empty religions and come to the only savior of the world, Jesus Christ?
