Dear Fellow Laborer with God What a marvelously bonding time it was for all of us on the team. Many of us first met one another when we showed up at the studio July 15 for a day of set-up before beginning the nine days of filming. It quickly became clear that God had handpicked each person to provide exactly …
THE SHOUT HEARD ROUND THE WORLD
“FREEDOM!!!” So shouted early 14th century Scottish freedom fighter William Wallace, as played by Mel Gibson in the epic 1995 film, Braveheart, as he went to his death at the hands of his enemies. In essence, the moviemakers stole that pithy line from Jesus Christ, whose whole life was a resounding proclamation of the only true freedom ever available to …
ARE ANY OLD TESTAMENT PROPHECIES BEING FULFILLED TODAY?
About 1983 years ago this month, 50 days after the RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST, the second most important event in human history took place: PENTECOST! What actually occurred then, as recorded in Acts 2, was not fully understood for about 30+ years, when the apostle Paul laid it out in all its glory in his epistle to the Ephesians. How …
WHAT IS YOUR PASSION?
May our heavenly Father richly bless you as you steadfastly look to Him and the Lord Jesus one day at a time. During World War II, my father was serving in the Navy in China when I was born. He came back home about the time I turned two, and immediately began throwing me a ball. When I was six, …
SURPRISED BY LIFE!
Dear Follower of Jesus Christ, In 2019, April brings us “Easter,” the pagan term for what would more aptly be called “Resurrection Day.” At least people get the time of year right, as opposed to “Christmas,” when they have baby Jesus surrounded by shivering sheep. In seasonal climes, Spring is a time when new life colorfully, brightly, and vividly heralds …

We believe that this project is inspired by the Lord, and that it will meet a need for many people who hunger and thirst for spiritual truth. People need an accurate, systematic, thorough, dynamic, entertaining, …
TRUE LOVE MEANS THE DESTRUCTION OF EVIL
Dear Beloved of God, Well, it’s February, and the sugar cane workers have been hacking away furiously in order to meet the massive need for candy this month. The floral industry is flying in 747s full of roses. Greeting card companies are pumping out age-old messages dressed in new rhymes. Why? Because once upon a time someone who owned stock …
ANOTHER 365 DAYS OF OPPORTUNITIES
Well, it’s 2011, and no doubt someone will wish you a “HAPPY” NEW YEAR! Do you know the origin of the word “happy”? It comes from the now-archaic word “hap,” which means “a chance occurrence.” By definition, then, the only way for you to be “HAP-py” during any of the coming 365 days is for the circumstances of your life …
LOOKING BACK IS THE KEY TO MOVING FORWARD
Dear Fellow Member in Particular, Well, here we are in the last month of the year 2010. As I begin to write this letter to you, I am sobered by the reality that another year of my life is almost gone, and my recent November birthday tells me that it was #67. As I begin this letter by sharing some …
THE ULTIMATE TREASURE HUNT
My prayer is that this letter finds you rejoicing in the Lord Jesus and in the awesome privilege of knowing and serving him. I pray that, in this ever-darkening world, you are shining more brightly each day as a living epistle of his love and truth. How great to know that Jesus is “The Man,” and that he is “in …
