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.

Exodus 12:13
And the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you live; and when I see the blood I will pass over you, and no plague will befall you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.

From the start, when the Lord delivered His people from the bondage of the world there in Egypt, the key to the salvation of God's people throughout time would be the blood of a lamb. That was to prove true through all of man's history, a foreshadowing of what alone can save us and give us victory today—the blood of the Lamb that was shed on the cross of Christ at Calvary.

That is the key to our triumph over sin, death and the devil, Satan the accuser of the brethren: “And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even to death.” {Rev.12:11} That should be the testimony, the profession, that we bring into the world today—a world that is filled with insecurity because of disease, crime, war and every other horror!
 
What a joy it is then when somebody asks you, 'How are you?' and you are able to say, 'I am safe and secure because of the work of Jesus Christ on a little hill just outside of Jerusalem 2,000 years ago when He shed His blood and gave His life for me!' That is our testimony and it is one we should shout from the rooftops for all to hear.

As a dear, dear brother in the Lord Arthur Burt who has now gone on to his reward wrote we have to learn to be ordinary—ordinary as God designed us! Filled with His love and power. For nothing is impossible with God. {Mat.19:26}

During the time of the Passover the Lord (who by the way IS our Passover: 1 Corinthians 5:7) was speaking clearly of His coming death on the cross to set us free from sin and death. He spoke these words to His disciples which should give you and I great comfort today: “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.” {Jn.14:27} That faith is what can penetrate the darkness of this present world!

In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus said that we are the light of the world {Mat.5:14} and if ever there was a time that His light shining in us and through us was needed it is today. As Isaiah prophesied so long ago:

"Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For behold, darkness will cover the earth, and deep darkness the peoples; But the Lord will rise upon you, and His glory will appear upon you.” (Isaiah 60:1-2)
