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.

Ecclesiastes 11:5
Just as you do not know the path of the wind and how bones are formed in the womb of the pregnant woman, so you do not know the activity of God who makes all things.

Today in our very modern world (?) where we have access to news from around the world 24 hours a day and where the Internet gives us an open window into information on virtually any topic we can think of garnered from the ‘so-called experts' everywhere, and from times as far back as forever—or so it seems. And yet today's verse is still absolutely true. It is ever so common for those experts in virtually every field to be proven wrong and to be taken by surprise over and over again!

It is written in the Word of God that all mankind is stupid and devoid of knowledge {Jer.10:14} and just as with all of the Scriptures that is truth. We hear all of the time now of 'fake news' which is indeed a real problem. They are often talking about mighty winds that they call the work of 'mother nature' although they are never realizing that it is actually the hand of Father God! {Job 37:1-34} And mankind today seems to know nothing about life in the womb—they are too busy denying that it even exists. It does exist from the first heartbeat of the child inside its mother, and that is certainly not fake news!

And most importantly of all, it is evident that the vast majority of people today don't really know God or His greatest gift: “And this is eternal life, that they may know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent.” (John 17:3) He is the one way, the only way. You cannot buy it or earn it. You cannot be religious enough or rich enough to deserve it. {Eph.2:8-9}

It is all too true today that there are so very many false gods in our modern world (actually pretty ancient now) and they all share a common root, Satan, that serpent of old in the Garden is still the god of this present world system {2Cor.4:4} and a liar by nature.

While it is true that there is only one name by which men can be saved—Jesus—as Peter said {Acts 4:12} there are untold numbers of 'names' that are the manifestation of that old serpent. Names and things that people are sadly choosing to put their trust in. We have been told of the coming time when people will throw their silver and gold they counted on to the moles and the bats. {Is.2:20} Satan, the great dragon and deceiver will be thrown down and his followers with him. {Rev.12:9}

As always, it comes down to our choices—Jesus the Savior, or Satan the father of lies. The Word or the world. I pray that we understand what Jesus was saying when He said that if -IF- we abide in the Word we will know the truth and that truth will make us free. {Jn.8:31-32} It does us well, and please take special note parents, to bear in mind:

"Thus says the Lord, 'Do not learn the way of the nations, And do not be terrified by the signs of the heavens although the nations are terrified by them;'” (Jeremiah 10:2)

BE ON GUARD, TEST EVERYTHING BY THE WORD OF GOD
