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 John 3:13
Do not marvel, brethren, if the world hates you.

John had written a bit earlier in his first letter that we are not to love the world or the things of the world. {1Jn.2:15} James, in his letter, would speak even more demandingly saying that 'friendship with the world is enmity with God! Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.' {Jas.4:4}

That makes perfect sense when we understand that he is speaking not of the people in the world, people who Jesus said we are to love even though they may be our enemies! {Mat.5:44} The Word is instructing us about the world system which lies in the power of the evil one! {1Jn.5:19} It does not matter what it is called or where it is, Republican or Democrat here in the U.S., Conservative, Labour or Liberal Democrats in the U.K., or in France where there are too many parties for me to remember here, or any other form it takes. If it is not Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, the Lord of Lords, and the King of Kings then it is the world system.

We must remember as always that the Lord has said that no man can serve two masters. {Mat.6:24} And yes, there are only actually two. You will either be following ‘mammon’, the world’s true leader or the Lord Jesus Christ, the King of Kings—both of whom are dictators! Satan the father of lies who desires to kill, steal and destroy or Jesus who came that we might have life and have it abundantly {Jhn.10:10} leading us by what He says, His Word!

We believers, the family of God who do the will of the Father as it is written, {Mat.12:50} are here on this planet as citizens of heaven {Php.3:20} now acting as ambassadors for Christ {2Cor.5:20} representing the Kingdom of God and bringing the good news of that Kingdom. We have a ministry of reconciliation {2Cor.5:18} bringing God's offer of total peace and love to anybody who will surrender all. (Yes, ALL) For in truth, there is no compromise offered—no temporary truce or demilitarized zone. There is only one way, a Savior standing with open arms and nail scarred hands calling out:

“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. 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 load is light." (Matthew 11:28-30)

THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD AND ONE LORD
