Dear friends and partners:
We appreciate your generous giving that enables us to minister the “good news” of Jesus Christ. Your continued prayers and support are like seeds planted into other lives. God’s word says, “that He delights in a cheerful giver” and our friends and partners are just that; cheerful and generous givers. Once again, thank you for your commitment to spread the gospel of Christ.
One Way:
The Holy Bible is a road map for every person that has walked, is walking or ever will walk along the road of life. There are signs all along this road to serve as direction in all circumstances and every situation for all travelers. The most important sign displayed here is the “One Way” sign because there is only one way to enter the kingdom of God. Jesus said in the gospel of John “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no one comes to the Father except through me.” [John 14:6 NKJV]. Again, Jesus said “---unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.” There are not several ways to enter God’s kingdom, there is only “One Way.”
The Christian “Holy Bible” has sixty-six books; thirty-nine in the Old Testament and twenty-seven in the New Testament. It was written over a span of about fifteen hundred years. It wasn’t fifteen hundred years of continuous writings but a collection of writings that covers that length of time. This time span included the four hundred years referred to as the silent years that occurred between Malachi of the Old Testament and Matthew of the New Testament. During the four hundred silent years there was no inspired writings that are included in the canon of scripture.
Peter, one of Jesus’ disciples said “---holy men of old spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” [ 2Peter1:21 NKJV]. The things that holy men spoke under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost was written, preserved and collected into what is the Christian’s Holy Bible.
The Bible declares, “Forever, O Lord, your word is settled in heaven.” [ Psalms 119:89 NKJV]. And Jesus himself said “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away” [ Matthew 24:35 KJV]. The entire Bible, from Genesis to Revelation points in one direction to God through His son Jesus Christ.
Entry into the kingdom of God is not merited upon regular church attendance, good works or religious affiliation. The acceptance of Jesus Christ as your Savior is the “One Way” and the only way into the kingdom of God.
What about you, have you accepted Him as your Savior? Have you accepted Him as the only way into heaven? If not, then today is the right day to make that decision.
