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 2:15-16
Do not love the world, nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world,

Satan, called the god of this present world system, {2Cor.4:4} was convinced of his power by his success with Adam and the woman in the Garden {Gen.3:6} — and later, even remained undeterred and unchanged by his failed attack on Jesus in the wilderness. {Mat.4:1-11} He had tempted the Lord with a lust for food, pride in who He is, and then finally offered Him the riches of the world. In each case Jesus responded with the Sword of the Spirit {Eph.6:17} saying, ‘It is written’ exposing that old serpent’s vulnerability!
 
The enemy only has a very limited arsenal to use against true believers: his weapons are lies and fear. And both of those are feeble indeed when they encounter the truth of God's Word and the faith in God which that Word brings! The Scriptures proclaim that we are not to fear those who can kill the body. {Mat.10:28} And while Satan still goes about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour {1Pt.5:8} we have the assurance that greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world. {1Jn.4:4} For all of us who are born of God and believe that Jesus is His Son, we overcome the world by our faith. {1Jn.5:4-5}

When those wonderful truths become the reality of our life, then our life will truly be changed. Our lives and our prayers will go from always needing and always wanting to walking in that blessed assurance that will take our prayers to the place where we will be saying like Asaph: 'Whom have I in heaven but Thee. And besides Thee, I desire nothing on earth." {Ps.73:25}

We are more than conquerors through Jesus who loves us and no created thing shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord! {Rom.8:37-39} Let us join in with all our brothers and sisters singing a heavenly chorus of that old hymn by Fanny Crosby written in 1873, “Blessed Assurance”.

At the end of the day it would seem to all boil down to where your love truly lies. The correct answer to that has been provided to us so long, long ago:

“Hear, O Israel! The Lord (YHWH) is our God, the Lord is one! And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.” (Deuteronomy 6:4-5)
