So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are in Rome also. Rom. 1:15
Paul knew the message of Jesus Christ could change lives. It had changed his. He had a passion to share Jesus with others and traveled tirelessly from place to place. In writing the Christians who lived in Rome, Paul expressed his heartfelt desire to visit Rome and share the gospel with them.
If Paul were alive today, I believe he would use every means available to him to tell others about Jesus. Given the opportunity, I believe Paul would have used social media and the internet to spread the gospel to as many people as possible. By whatever means God directs, let us share Jesus with our world.

To face the giant - TC
What motivated this boy with character to face a giant? 1 Samuel 17:25-29
David was just a young man when he first heard Goliath spewing out blaspheme against God. David appeared to be the only man in the camp that was touched to his soul with the cursing of Israel by this hateful warrior. But there was more than just being incensed by his mockery.
The Name, the Glory, the purpose of God in Israel was vital to David. His life was in the God of his salvation and God’s cause in Israel was HIs cause too. It is encouraging to see a new generation taking our military and our public service positions in America with courage and purpose
.
It is great to see young people surrendering their lives to help others in ministry, missions, teaching, pastoring churches, and etc…
Every person needs a cause to live, and a purpose to carry on. Even more important is that every person needs a Spiritual cause to live out in this world where evil is present and powerful.
Stop and consider your life, and what God has done for you at Calvary. He gave His own Son, Jesus to die on the cross to pay for your sins, and even greater to defeat the curse of sin on this world. Christ who arose victorious over the grave broke the grip of death upon the soul of man so that he could believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, the Captain of our Salvation, and though Him we can live forever. Is there not a cause?
Satan is working like a Giant instilling fear, failure and death in this world. But we have the cause of the Gospel, preaching the good news that Jesus Saves and offers hope to all who will look to Him and Live. Get involved today and spreading the Hope of Christ like a light in your part of our world and take up the cause for others,

Remember when - SB
Today's TEXT FROM THE SACRED TEXT:
Hebrews 10:32-33 (KJV)
32 But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;
Hebrews 10:33 (KJV)
33 Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used.
I REMEMBER WHEN:
1. Saved was Changed
2. Sunday was Church
3. Service was Committment
4. Separation was Consecration
5. Sermons were Cutting
6. Shouting was Common
7. Soulwinning was Crucial

Special and loved - DB
Now there was leaning on Jesus bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. John 13:23
Five times in the Gospel of John, John refers to himself as the disciple “whom Jesus loved.” It reminds me of a friend who was convinced he was the Lord’s favorite. No matter how many times I told him Jesus loves everyone, he just smiled and said I know, but I’m his favorite. That is how Jesus makes us feel – special and loved.
John was the beloved disciple. My friend was his favorite. And so are you. And so am I. Jesus would have gone to the cross and died for your sins if you had been the only person who needed a Savior. He would have done the same for me.
To know Jesus as your Lord and Savior is to know His love and how special you are to Him.

We will serve the Lord - DB
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Joshua 24:15
I have always loved sports. I loved to play them. I loved to watch my kids and others participate. Athletics help build strong bodies, focused minds and community spirit. I also love the Lord.
I love to see young families in Sunday School and Church. There, children learn how precious we all are to God; how we are to love others and ourselves; and how to find peace with God through Jesus Christ.
Parents should not be placed in a position where they have to choose between their children playing sports or attending Church on Sunday morning. Yet they are. Sports are great. Jesus is Greater. Our choices influence our children and teach them what is important.
When you have to choose, choose Jesus.
Thank you for your prayers we are home.

John the Baptist - DB
In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judea. Matt. 3:1
Sometimes we think of Bible heroes, like John, to be different from ourselves - superior in some way. John had been called by God to prepare the way for Christ. He had been sent into the wilderness to preach, “Repent ye, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” He had been commanded to baptize those who repented of their sins. These things John had been called to do and he did. As to everything else, the Bible suggests he was like the rest of us, walking by faith.
John had limited knowledge. John 1: 33 tells us John did not know the identity of the Messiah until the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus at His baptism. John had doubts. While in prison, John sent his disciples to ask Jesus if He was the Messiah. Like us, John was human. What separates John from me many times is not some special revelation he received from God, but his obedience to that which God had shown him.

Your salvation is ABC - CB
FOR A DEAR FRIEND: Being saved according to the Bible is as easy as A B C.
Acknowledge that you are a sinner. "Lord I am a sinner and need to be saved."
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior. Yes, I believe that Jesus died on the cross and paid my sin debt because He loves me.
Call upon the Lord to save you. Lord, be merciful to me a sinner and saved me for Jesus sake. The thief on the cross said, "Remember me when thou comest into thy Kingdom."
Jesus said to the thief as he hung upon the cross, "Today shalt thou be with me in paradise."
Please let me know.
