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.

Matthew 11:29-30
(Jesus said) Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you shall find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.

Unfortunately, religious organizations throughout time, Jewish, Christian or pagan, have made religion as they practice it a very real and very heavy burden. At the same time, Jesus stands at the door of mankind's heart and says, 'Come to Me and I will give you rest.' {Mat.11:28}

Somebody is lying, and it is not Jesus who IS the truth! {Jn.14:6} As Jesus confronted the Pharisees about their hypocrisy a theologian who was there spoke up: “And one of the lawyers said to Him in reply, 'Teacher, when You say this, You insult us too." But He said, 'Woe to you lawyers as well! For you weigh men down with burdens hard to bear, while you yourselves will not even touch the burdens with one of your fingers.' {Lk.11:45-46}

Jesus is the very Word of God, and He has been speaking throughout the ages through the prophets and the apostles, and all those who are His and will share His love. He has said that rather than carry burdens you and I are to 'cast our burden upon the Lord' as David wrote. {Ps.55:22} The greatest, the heaviest, burden that mankind has ever known is that of sin. King David also said that sin is a heavy burden that weighed too much for him. {Ps.38:4} And truly every human being has been burdened with it—'For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.' {Romans 3:23}

The only 'weight' that we should carry is described by the apostle Paul who endured so many trials and tribulations as he faithfully served the Lord saying, for momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison! {2Cor.4:17} Do remember that he also wrote that we should be imitators of him, just as he was of Christ. {1Cor.11:1}

So, it truly is good news—the Good News—that the Father sent His only begotten Son Jesus who was without sin to take that unbearably heavy burden upon Himself and to fully pay the price for us. It was our burden, my sin and your sin, that He took to be nailed to the cross!

  "But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus, in order that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
   For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast.” (Ephesians 2:4-9)
