Our ministry is to reach out to the world with the Good News of Jesus Christ and to help believers be equipped with a solid knowledge of the Word of God, the Bible, and be encouraged to apply it in every aspect of their daily lives. There are simple truths for these complex times to help people live in a way that brings real spiritual victory to them and more importantly, through the Lord Jesus Christ, glory to God our Father.

1 Samuel 12:24
Only fear the LORD (YHWH) and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you.

The prophet Samuel gave this instruction to God's people as they demanded and received a king to rule over them—and in the process rejecting the Lord as their king! {1Sam.8:7} Now they, and we, are being told here in the Word that the only correct, godly way to deal with all of the world's oppression and problems that came along with their desire to be like all the nations was to fear the Lord and obey His word rather than our own desires.

Solomon in his wisdom would write, 'That which has been is that which will be, and that which has been done is that which will be done. So, there is nothing new under the sun.' {Ecc.1:9}

Mankind and, more importantly, specifically the people of God, all too often keep making the same wrong choices and behave like the world rather than being directed by God's Word. Once again rejecting God as being King over them and hoping to get more of what they want, whatever that may be. But as we should have learned by now is the fact that when you act like the world what you will wind up actually getting is what you actually deserve!

Jesus Christ was born and came into this world for one reason—to take upon Himself what we deserve, the death required by sin, for the wages of sin is death. {Rom.6:23} That is the gift, the free gift of God that makes available to us salvation if we will receive it. We should remember and celebrate that gracious gift all of the time. The early church was continually devoting themselves to the apostle's teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer as it says in the Book of Acts. {Acts 2:42}

In the Book of Deuteronomy (the Old Testament book most quoted by Jesus) we have been given the instruction for receiving all of the blessings of God. {Deut.28:1-14} That starts by saying, “Now it shall be, if you diligently obey the Lord your God, being careful to do all His commandments which I command you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth. All these blessings will come upon you and overtake you if you obey the Lord your God:” {Deut.28:1-2} You will not have to search for God's blessings, at the end of the day they will find you wherever you are and bring eternal blessings into your life. The Lord will cause everything in your life to work for your good and His glory! {Rom.8:28}

And the Spirit of God would lead the apostle Paul to say:
 
“And when I came to you, brethren, I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God. For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.” (1 Corinthians 2:1-2)
 
THE LORD JESUS IS THE ANSWER
