"And the government shall be upon His shoulders" (Isaiah 9:6)
When Jesus returns, Hs will rule the world in justice and righteousness from His throne in a reconstructed temple in Jerusalem. Till then we must endure the government of Man. These are the "last days" according to the Bible (2 Peter 3:3), and we need to encourage one another to "keep our eyes fixed on Jesus" (Hebrews 12:2), the author and finisher of our faith.

The battle for the soul of Haiti - January '10 Newsletter
The earthquake in Haiti is big news. An island nation of less than ten million people could suffer a death toll of more than 250,000. The Bible says that in the last days there will be an increase of earthquakes, and the Book of Revelation says that there will come a day when the last earthquake will level the mountains and cause every island to disappear. Today is the day of salvation and what Haiti needs is the Gospel. In the aftermath of this tragedy, pray that the Church will continue to take the Truth of the Gospel to the men, women and children of Haiti. This is a spiritual battle for souls, and it is only Jesus who saves.

"Fear Not! For I bring you glad tidings which will be for all people." Luke 2:10-11 Nov/Dec '09
As we look forward to Christmas it is important to remember that the message delivered by the angel to the “shepherds abiding in their fields” is still very Good News today. A Savior was born – His Name is Jesus (Luke 2:8-12).
Watching what is going on in the world today, we can only look to Bible prophecy for some context and understanding. It is only the Bible, God’s Word, which can make sense out of what is going on around us.
On the day that Jesus was born, Israel was just a province of the Roman Empire. We may live to see the day when America is reduced to a province of the New World Order. But in any case, these alarming political, economic and spiritual developments give us all the more reason to stay focused on the work of His Kingdom and share the gift of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
God bless you all and may the Holy Spirit both comfort and encourage you this Christmas season.
Jesus is coming again soon, we pray that you are ready.

“And I remembered the Word of the Lord” (Acts 11:16)
The Apostle Peter traveled with Jesus for more than three years. He was with Jesus after His resurrecdtion until the day that Jesus ascended into heaven. Peter heard Jesus speaking about the things of this world and the Kingdom of Heaven. But it was after Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit entered into Peter, that the things which he had heard came to life. Peter gives one such testimony about how the Spirit brought to rememberence what Jesus had said in Acts chapter eleven. This is an encouragement to us to remember the "Word of the Lord" - it is an encouragement for us to read and study the Word. Peter didn't have the Bible we do. Peter didn't have the whole testimony of Genesis to Revelation...the testimony of Jesus the Creator - the Redeemer - the Judge. It is critical that we remember the Word of the Lord.

"And He gave some…for the equipping of the saints for the work of service..." Ephesians 4:11
The PURPOSE of the Church, according to The Word of God, is to, "equip the believers for the work of service, for the building up of the Body of Christ." The Body can only be built by winning souls to faith in Jesus Christ. We are all surrounded by sinners that need to be saved. The only way they can come to Christ is by Faith, and "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God." God the Father, in His grace and mercy has saved us, so that through us he might save others. When we go out in obedience to His command and preach His Gospel, the seed of the Word is sown into the hearts of Men, Women and Children. It takes obecient workers to serve the Lord of the Harvest. The Lord desires that every Church be a sending Church - and that every believer is willing to answer the call. Jesus did not ask us to "go into all the world" - He commanded us to go. It is an issue of obedience.

"Hate Crimes" legislation is passing through the U.S. Congress. One of the targets of this movement is the Bible believing Christian. It is time for Believers in America to make a choice. They must decide to confess Christ and speak His Word in Truth, or, they can shrink back bacause of the presseure from the culture. Remenber what Jesus siad, "Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” (Matthew 5:10-12) There is great reward and blessing for those who are faithful to Jesus Christ and the Truth of His Word - there is grieving and pain for those who deny Him before men. It's time to choose.
