Remembering "Little Church in the Valley" 

Carson (Hemlock-Stabler) WA

1984 - 1987 

As I look back on the ministries

I rejoice in the times 

of fellowship, love, 

and friendship 

of those 

whom we served. 

There was a sense of P E A C E 

in this little church.

Stationed 15 miles from Mt Saint Helen,

we served there as 

we continued in 

God's Holy Word - (KJV) of the Bible.

We did not make the 

headlines.

But over those few 

years - we saw 

people on the move 

people going from one place to another

and others

who for a time

stayed in the area.

We had a Sunday School

and Service on every

Sunday Morning

while at 

dusk we had an 

Evening Service.

Wm. Henry Cash Jr

1927 - 2012 

was their Pastor.

Served 1984 - 1988 

Thinking Back 

I see 

how much faith

my dear  

husband 

had 

in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Every morning 

before I got up, 

he was studying at his desk, 

pouring over 

Hebrew in the Old Testament

and in the 

Greek New Testament

as well as 

his 

King James Version Holy Bible.

How I remember 

And how I cherish

His memory.

One morning he was 

a bit late...and as

he set off, he 

normally had

prayer with me.

He said, pray for me, 

I'm late.  and he headed

off to work. 

To get there, he 

had to go from

Carson WA 

where we lived, 

go through a 

T U N N E L 

before he got 

to the Cascade Locks Bridge

which spanned

the river.

It was a good drive

every day

back and forth.

He never complained.

That day, after he 

left, I felt his desire

for me to pray,

and as I did, 

was overwhelmed 

with tears,

and a strange awareness

that he and I were

together

for the reason

of leading people 

to know Christ

and to disciple 
them.

I prayed not knowing

why and what

but that it 

was important 

that I 

place Henry and 

myself into 

the Lord's hands.

Well, the day

went on, and 

time came for Henry

to come from Parkdale, OR

where he worked at 

the U S F S Ranger Station.

As he came into 

the house, he smiled a 

big smile.

I asked him? 

Did any thing happen ? 

today ? 

And he said, 

June, I was traveling 

toward the tunnel, and 

all of a sudden I was

stopped because

the cars in front 

of me were

not moving.

I waited.  It was dark 

still, as the 

sun had not come up.
Someone came

to my window to

say, we just had 

a large rock fall 

onto the highway 

and it hit one car, and
damaged another.

You have to 

wait until we clear it

away.  

So, he said,, 

If I had not been LATE 

I could have died.

And here I am.

The next day we 

saw in the paper that 

it was a 17 ton rock 

that had fallen.

How they got everyone

going again, I do not 

know, but 

I was thankful

my husband 

trusted God 

and 

had asked me to

pray for him.

Psalm 1 tells us 

that the man 

who delights in 

the law of the Lord 

and 

meditates on it 

day and night

will 

be Blessed.

Psalm 1 

1. Blessed is the man

that walketh not in the counsel

of the ungodly, 

nor standeth 

in the way of sinners, 

nor sitteth in the 

seat of the scornful.

2.But his delight is in 

the law of the LORD, 

and in his law 

doth meditate 

day and 

night. 

3. And he shall be 

like a tree planted

by the rivers of water,

that bringeth forth

fruit in its season; 

his leaf also shall not 

wither; and whatsoever

he doeth shall prosper. 

4. The ungodly are not 

so, but like the chaff 

which the wind driveth away.

5. There the ungodly 

shall not sant in the 

judgment, 

nor sinners in 

the congregation

of the righteous.

6. For the LORD knoweth 

the way of the righteous,

but the way of the ungodly 

shall perish.

Romans 3.23   For 

all have sinned and come 

short of the glory of God.

Romans 6.23 

For the wages of sin 

is death, 

but the gift of God 

is eternal 

life

through Jesus Christ 

our Lord. 

John 3.3 

Verily, verily, I say unto 

thee, except 

a man be born again

he cannot see 

the kingdom of God. 

John 14.6 

Jesus saith unto them, I am 

the way, the truth and 

the life, No man cometh

unto the Father

 but by me.  

Time is ticking. 

The clock tell us so.

Jesus has given us

His promise 

that He not only

is the way, the truth, 

and the life

and that 

only by Him 

can we 

have a 

relationship

with 

the Father. 

Jesus said himself to

Nicodemus

who came to him

by night

"For God so loved

the world,

that he gave 

his only 

begotten 

Son, 

that whosoever

believeth 

in him 

should not 

perish,

but 

have 

everlasting

life.

My husband was to me

my love, my friend

and 

all because

He loved and knew the 

Lord Jesus Christ.

I was a sinner saved by grace also, and

knew the Lord as my Savior.

It took God and God 

alone 

to put two 

people together

who

when they married

would be 

ONE 

in 

Faith 

Hope 

and 

Charity

Charity is God's Divine Live

and 

it is 

His Love which 

draws us 

to Himself.

Jesus said before 

he went to the cross

that he was 

going to 

do just this - 

that he would die, 

would be buried, 

and would rise again 

all According to the Scriptures.

He did not mince his words.

He told the truth.

When He rose from

the grave.

He gave the command

"All power is given unto me

in heaven and in earth,

go ye therefore, 

and teach all nations, 

baptizing them in

the name of the 

Father 

and of the Son

and of the 

Holy Ghost, 

Teaching them to observe

all things 

whatsoever

I have commanded you, 

and, 

lo, I am with you 

alway, even unto 

the end of the world. Amen.

Matthew 28b. 18 - 20 

I present to you 

that just as my 

dear husband

stood for 

the KJV the Holy Bible

and 

did all he could

to serve 

to tell others

about His Savior

so too 

today 

I come to you

and say

as a widow 90 years young 

I came to Jesus as a sinner

and found Christ is everything

to me - 

and I long to share that 

Gospel 

the Good News 

that Jesus loves ALL 

God who is 

Merciful

came to dwell among 

us 

and make his 

home 

with us

until he 

Paid The Only Price

for sin 

(Matthew 1.21)

because

He was 

born 

of a virgin 

(Isaiah 9.6)

and 

born 

to be the Lamb of God

which taketh 

the sin of 

the world 

(John 1.29)

Why not trust Christ 

today? 

It is never too late

Jesus is coming soon.

It may be night

It may be noon. 

But it will be soon.

Those who trust him

become 

New Creatures.

Brand new babies.

What happens in the moment

you trust and 

pray 

Jesus, I thank

you 

for dying for me

in my place

and I 

ask you to 

forgive me

and 

wash me

and make 

me Clean, 

I ask you to come

into my heart.

It only takes a moment

but it lasts a lifetime.

and, 

the person 

who trusts Jesus

will 

live for ever.

It will be worth it all

when we see Jesus,

life's trials will seem so small,

when we see Christ! 

Jesus said, 

Ask and it shall be given you,

Seek, and ye shall find, 

Knock, and it shall be opened unto you,

Matthew 7. 7.  

 

Jesus also said, 

Verily, verily, I say unto you, 

He that heareth my word,

and believeth on him

that sent me, 

hath everlasting life, 

and shall not 

come into condemnation

but is passed from death

unto life. 

John 5.24 

Again Jesus said, 

And this is the will of him

that sent me, that \

everyone 

which seeth the Son,

and believeth 

on him, 

may have

everlasting life,

and I shall raise

him 

at the last day. 

John 6.40

What can wash my sin? 

Nothing but the blood of Jesus

What can make me whole again? 

Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Oh, precious is the flow

that makes me white as snow,

No other fount I know, 

Nothing

 but the blood of Jesus

GOD’S LOVE

By Wm. Henry Cash, Jr.  9ct 8, 1969

 BASIC TEXT:   I JOHN 3.1 – 3

INTRODUCTION:  

The Apostle John is called the Beloved Apostle.  

He wrote of God’s love in both

the Gospel and his Epistles.  

He is the Diciple whom Jesus loves. 

John 13.23; 19.26; 20.2   

 -----------

I John 3.1 – 3

3.1 Behold, what manner of love

the Father hath bestowed upon us, 

that we should be called the sons of God: 

therefore the world knoweth us not, 

because it knew him not.

.2  Beloved, now are we the sons of God,

 and it doth not yet appear 

what we shall be, but we know that, 

when he shall appear, 

we shall be like him, 

for we shall see him as he is.  

3.3  And every man 

that hath this hope in him 

purifieth himself, 

even as He is pure.

John 8.12

"I am the light of the world, he 

that followeth me shall not 

walk in darkness, but shall

have the light of life."

  It is the AGAPE –

 divine love of God – that God gives.  

And it is the same AGAPE love

 we are to show to each other. 

Romans 5.8  But God 

commandeth his love loward us, 

in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.  

First:       GOD’S LOVE – THE PAST TENSE OF HIS LOVE.

CONSIDER:.  God’s Love Was Bestowed Upon us.

               I John 3. 1

a.BEHOLD -   Whenever God’s 

Word uses the word BEHOLD 

it is a COMMAND 

to look intently and consider

 as important and worthy 

of our time: 

TAKE A CLOSE LOOK.

 B. "SONS OF GOD" – that we should

 be called the Sons of God.

  God not only has given us SPIRITUAL BIRTH 

into his family, he has

 ALSO ADOPTED US as His Legal Sons

 with all the RIGHTS of a son. 

In the Roman Empire – 

only an adopted Son

could receive the rights of inheritance. 

  Being born into the family

 only made one a child of the father. 

  Adoption made the child a SON. 

          ROMANS 8.15 – 17

 15. For ye have not received 

the spirit of bondage again to fear,

 but ye have received 

the Spirit of adoption, 

whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

16. The Spirit itself 

beareth witness with our spirit,

 that we are the children of God.

17. And if children, then , heirs,

 heirs of God, 

and joint heirs with Christ: 

if so be that we suffer with him,

 that we may be also glorified together.  

I John 5.11 

And this is the record,

 that God hath

given to us eternal life,

 and this life is in his Son. 

I John 5.12.

 He that hath the Son hath life, 

and he that hath not

 the Son of God hath not life.  

B.  WE BECOME A CHILD OF GOD BY

         THE NEW BIRTH.

      John 3. 1 – 7  

1.   There was a man of the Pharisees 

named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 

2. The same came to Jesus by night,

 and said unto him, Rabbi, we know 

that thou art a teacher, come from God, 

for no man can do these miracles 

that thou doest, except God be with him. 

3. Jesus answered and said unto him, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born again, 

he cannot see the kingdom of God.  

4. Nicodemus saith unto him, 

How can a man be born when he is old?

 Can he enter the second time 

Into his mother’s womb, and be born? 

5.  Jesus answered, Verily,verily, 

I say unto thee, Except a man 

be born of water and the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into

he kingdom of God. 

6. That which is born of the flesh 

is flesh; and that which is 

born of the Spirit is spirit,

7. Marvel not that I say unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.

We all have a physical birth.

To enter heaven,

we need a NEW BIRTH

WE MUST BE BORN AGAIN.

 SECOND:   GOD’S LOVE –

 THE PRSENT TENSE OF HIS LOVE. 

        WE HAVE IT NOW.   IT IS OUR POSSESSION.

A.   We are NOW sons of God. 

           I John 3.2  

        Beloved, now 

are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet

appear what we shall be 

but we know that when 

he shall appear, we shall be like him, 

for we shall see him as he is.

B.  WE CAN BE SURE OF OUR SALVATION.

          I JOHN 5.11.12,13

And this is the record, 

that God hath given to us eternal life, 

and this life is in his Son. 

He that hath the Son hath life, 

and he that hath not 

the Son of God hath not life.  

These things have I written 

unto you that believe on the 

name of the son of God, 

that ye may know 

that ye have eternal life, 

and that ye may believe 

on the name of the Son of God.”

CONSIDER:  

GOD SPEAKS OF EVERLASTING LIFE

 AS A PRESENT POSSESSION -  

IT BEGINS THE MOMENT 

WE ARE BORN AGAIN.    

 JOHN 3. 16

     FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD 

THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON 

THAT WHOSOEVER

BELIEVETH IN HIM, 

SHOULD NOT PERISH, 

BUT HAVE 

EVERLASTING LIFE 

  JOHN 5.24

       Verily, verily, I say unto you,

He that heareth my word, 

and believeth on him that sent me

hath everlasting life, 

and shall not come

into condemnation; 

but is passed from death unto life.

           Our privilege and our responsibility

 is to purify 

our selves 

even as He is pure. 

As Sons, we are responsible 

to do the Father’s Will, 

and to be submissive to the Father, 

even as Jesus 

was submissive to His Father.    

           John 5.30 

“I can of mine own self

do nothing: 

as I hear, I judge, 

and my judgment

 is just: because

I seek not mine own will, 

but the will of the Father

 which sent me.

           John 6.38

 For I came down from heaven, 

not to do mine own will,

ut the will of him that sent me. “

       As Sons of the Father, we are to obey the

        Father’s  will.  ROMANS 8.14,15

 14. “For as many 

as are led by the Spirit of God, 

they are the sons of God.  

15. For ye have not received 

the spirit of bondage again to fear: 

but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, 

whereby we cry, Abba Father.”

What child does not say

to his beloved Father,

Daddy, My Daddy!

Abba  in Jesus' day meant

the endearing cry of 

a child for its father.

CONSIDER:   GOD’S LOVE IS FULLY GOD’S LOVE – 

NOTHING ON OUR PART DESERVES HIS LOVE.

    IT IS THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST 

AND HIS FINISHED WORK 

ON THE CROSS

 WHICH PROVIDES GOD’S LOVE TO US.  

            I John 2.2  

And he is the propitiation 

for our sins,

 and not for our sins only, 

but for the sins

of the whole world.  

 

THIRD:   GOD’S LOVE –

THE FUTURE TENSE 

OF HIS LOVE.      

1 John 3.2  “when he

shall appear, we shall be like him,

or we shallsee him as he is.”

Philippians 1.6 being confident

of this very thing that he that

hath begun a good work in you

shall perform it until

the day of Christ.

GOD’S ULTIMATE GOAL IS THAT WE ARE TO BE IN THE LIKENESS OF JESUS.

Romans 8.28-29

For we know that all things

Work together for good

To those that love God,

To them who are the called

According to his purpose

For whom he did foreknow

He also did predestinate

To be conformed

To the image

Of his Son, that

He might be the firstborn

Among many brethren.

      TITUS 3.5

Not by works of righteousness 

which we have done, 

but according to his mercy

 he saved us,

 by the washing of regeneration, 

and renewing of the Holy Ghost.

WHEN WE ARE 

BORN INTO GOD’S FAMILY,

WE LOVE AS CHRIST LOVED,

AND WE ARE TO GIVE OUR LIVES

 MANIFESTING HIS LOVE 

WITH WHICH HE LOVED US.

ROMAN 5. 8 – 9

But God commandeth his love toward us,

 in that while we were yet sinners,

 Christ died for us, much more then, 

being now justified by his blood, 

we shall be saved from wrath through him.

Romans 5.1 – 8

1.   Therefore being justified by faith, 

we have peace with God

through our Lord Jesus Christ.

2.   By whom also we have access

 by faith into this grace 

wherein we stand, 

and rejoice in hope 

of the glory of God.  

3.   And not only so, 

but we glory in tribulations 

also knowing that tribulation 

worketh patience,

4.   And patience, experience, 

and experience, hope.

5.   And hope maketh not ashamed,

 because the love of God is

 spread abroad in our hearts

 by the Holy Ghost 

which is given unto us.

6.   For when we were yet 

without strength,

 in due time Christ died for the ungodly;

7.   For scarecely for a righteous man 

will one die: yet peradventure,

 for a good man some would 

even dare to die.

8.   But God commandeth 

His Love toward us in

 that while we were yet sinners, 

Christ died for us.

 

    LET US THEN, REJOICE IN GOD’S LOVE.

BECAUSE HE FIRST LOVED, 

WE LOVE HIM. 

AND WE LOVE EACH OTHER.

I John 4.19  WE LOVE HIM, BECAUSE

HE FIRST LOVED US.

If we are to manifest the love of

Christ in our lives, we must

give our all to Him today.

 

Romans 13.9,10

9.For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery,

Thou shalt not kill, 

Thou shalt not steal, 

thou shalt not bear false witness, 

thou shall not covet; 

and if there be any other commandment,

 it is briefly comprehended in this saying, 

namely, Thou shall love thy neighbour as thyself.

10. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: 

therefore love

 is the fulfilling of the law.

Romans 5.5

And hope maketh not ashamed,

Because the love of God is

Spread abroad in our hearts

by the Holy Ghost

which is given unto us.

 

What can wash away my sin?

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

What can make me whole again?

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Jesus loves

This I know - 

For the Bible 

tells me so

Little ones to Him belong

They are weak

but He is strong 

Yes, Jesus Loves Me

Yes, Jesus Loves Me,

Yes, Jesus Loves Me

The Bible tells me so!

Jesus Loves me 

! He who died

Heaven's gates 

to open wide;

He will wash away my sin,

Let His little child come in ! 

Yes, Jesus Loves me!

Yes, Jesus Loves me!

Yes, Jesus Loves me! 

The Bible tells me so. 

 

 

 

 if no one tells me

Jesus loves me 

how will I ever know?

if no one shares that 

God loves me 

I will never know. 

I thank the Lord 

that someone came 

to tell me God loves me,

and now 

I share it here 

to Thee.
