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.

Joel 2:1
Blow a trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm on My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of the Lord is coming; Surely it is near.

When God speaks through a prophet, a true prophet, whatever has been said is surely true and will come to pass—not one of His words has failed to come to pass! {Jos.23:14} The great day of the Lord is on the way. It is spoken of throughout the Scriptures, both Old and New.

In the book of the prophet Malachi the Lord calls that time the 'great and terrible day’ {Mal.4:5} and most certainly it will be great for some and terrible for others! Joel had continued to write that 'whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be delivered’. {Joel 2:32} So that will be a great day for those who, even now, believe and can pray, 'Even so, come Lord Jesus.' {Rev.22:20}
 
The ‘Day of the Lord’ is coming soon and it will most certainly come at exactly the right time—the appointed time. {Ecc.3:1} Just make sure that you remember that 'with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day' {2Pt.3:8} as he recalls from the prayer of Moses. {Ps.90:4} That would make it very important for us bear in mind that the apostle Paul had said we should make the most of our time because the days are evil {Eph.5:16} and that we are instructed to be 'ready in season and out.' {2Tim.4:2}
 
I remember well in the late 1970's how there was an explosion of books and movies dealing with the last days and the end times, with the vast majority of them being wrong in their conclusions. That was, and still is too often, fulfilling the days that Peter spoke of when he wrote that 'mockers would come with their mocking'. {2Pt.3:3} The devil does not care in which direction you get it wrong—just as long as you get it wrong. We, the true church of God, need to redeem the time, however much is left sharing the love of God and the Word of God (Jesus) with every door of opportunity the Lord opens for us.
 
Like the Titanic, the “unsinkable ship” that went down with the loss of over 1,500 people aboard on its maiden voyage in 1912, this ship—this present world—is going down! We need to be telling people that there is a 'lifeboat' and His name is Jesus, Lord and Savior, just waiting for those who are lost to get in!

“Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ, and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.”
(2 Corinthians 5:18-19)
 
GOD IS RICH IN MERCY BECAUSE OF HIS LOVE
