Would you like to talk to someone? Click Here! Wherever Jesus has been proclaimed, we see lives change for the good, nations change for the better, thieves become honest, alcoholics become sober, hateful individuals become channels of love, unjust persons embrace justice. ~ Josh McDowell

The gospel is the good news that everyone needs to hear!

Please get in touch with us if you have any questions or need some encouragement.

The word “gospel” comes from the Greek “euangelion,” meaning “good news.” The New Testament refers to the announcement that Jesus has brought the reign of God to the world through His life, death, and resurrection. “In the beautiful message of the gospel, we find God’s grace shining brightly. What is the gospel? It is through this divine grace alone that we are saved, not by our efforts or good deeds. The foundation of our salvation lies in faith alone in Jesus Christ and His finished work on the cross.

As We Think About Christ’s Ultimate Sacrifice For Our Sins ~ And His Triumphant Resurrection, It Becomes Clear That Salvation Is Not About What We Must Do ~ But Rather What Jesus Has Already Done For Us! Our Walk Does Not Determine Our Worthiness; Instead, It Is Christ’s Perfect Work That Forms The Bedrock Of Our Redemption!

Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.

Today Is The Day To Be Saved! Do you think Salvation is Earned? 

When I claimed the date of June 25, 1986, I was saved because I was told the Gospel many times (if you do not know the day), the important thing is to know you are saved.  I did not know for sure whether I was saved. I wanted to have a specific day, so I prayed and narrowed it down to that day. It was the very last time I ever smoked marijuana while I was in long-term treatment. Many people tried to help and pray for me during those years.

I chose that day to be the day that I got the scales off my eyes and could see clearly that I was a sinner heading for hell. It was not necessarily a feeling that I had, it was more of an assurance that I was in God’s hand, and I could not be taken away from Him ever. God wanted me saved because it says in His word, so He said it, I believe it, and that is that!

 


 

Keeping The GOSPEL Simple!


 

 

Pointing People to You, Lord

(This section is from The Book I wrote)

Lord, please help me make a better effort to point others to you, either by my words or actions. I can share what my life was like before I got to know you, how it has changed because I know you, and, finally, where I see you leading me in the future. Thinking of this makes me ask myself if my walk with you has been something that I would be glad to share with others, or if there is any unconfessed sin in my life that I still need to deal with.

Your word tells me to share the gospel with those who don’t know you, no matter where I meet them — near home or far away. Give me the wisdom to know how to do that best. Help me speak clearly, so I can share your word with others and challenge them to open their hearts and minds. I need to ask myself each day what I’m doing to point family and friends to you and to make sure this is a priority.

In the past, I would be intimidated when I wanted to talk about you to others. I remember a thought that I’m sure was from the devil, telling me I’d better not speak up for you, Lord, because if I were challenged, I would not have the correct answers. I’ve learned that even if I can’t answer every question, I can look into it more and talk to the person later. Sharing my testimony is the safest and most effective way to point people to you, Lord, because no one can debate what you have done in my life!

Matthew 28:19 ~ [Jesus said,] “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”

I hope we never get to the point that we put ourselves in Jesus’ place. But when I read the New Testament, I basically get three mandates: to love God, to love each other, and to take care of the least among us. And I think this is at least a step in the right direction. ~ Robert Riley,  American politician who served as the 52nd Governor of Alabama.

Do You Understand The Gospel…

The path to eternal life is paved with faith and trust in Jesus alone. When confronted with the gospel, all that is required from us is a simple act of belief – placing our unwavering faith solely in Jesus Christ. In doing so, we open ourselves up to freedom like never before! However, before one can fully grasp this liberating truth, one must first understand why salvation is necessary.

We are all sinners- imperfect beings who fall short of God’s righteousness time and time again. This separation caused by sin leads only to an eternity apart from God – a fate none of us desire deep down within our souls. Believe me, there is no need to be afraid to share the gospel or your personal testimony with others.

Yet there exists hope amidst this darkness: accepting Jesus as both Lord and Savior opens a pathway to heaven, not to mention the support and guidance here on earth! Only when one understands that they are a sinner and can not save themselves, and we need a Savior in Jesus Christ. Tell others about us so they, too, can understand the gospel more clearly. ~ Bill Greguska
