WE INTRODUCE OURSELVES TO YOU!

​Who Are We?

Our names are not important. What is important is that Jesus Christ be lifted up and draw all men unto Himself. He was lifted up when He went to the Cross and now we are to lift Him up for all to see.

What Is Our Goal?

Our goal first and always is to exalt and magnify the Lord. We desire to inform readers about anything which the Holy Spirit instructs us.

Why Us?

The only answer we have is that the Holy Spirit has instructed us accordingly and we will be obedient to His instruction. The Lord has many avenues through which He proclaims His Message of Truth. We are humbled and awed to be a part of His Work in any capacity.

Why Now?

Humanity seems to be living in a state of unequaled ignorance to the times in which we live. This is true not only of Christians but of non-believers as well.  Whether our perspective is from Judeo-Christian roots or not, humanity needs to recognize that NOW is when we are living. We need to be awakened to the place and responsibility we have as part of God's Divine Plan. The book of Daniel is an amazing book for this time. Not only the prophetic writings that we've read and heard, but also impressive, is the fact that Daniel KNEW he was living in the time about which God's servants had prophesied many years earlier. He knew his place in God's Divine Plan for his age. And he approached it accordingly: with a steadfastness of conviction unheard of by those whose lives he was to touch and with obedience to the God of Israel. As long as we remain ignorant about our place in Christ at this time, we will not realize the seriousness of informing others of the impending judgment on the eternity of mankind. Christ's disciples have been given a charge and we must not be found with blood on our hands. (Ezekiel 3:17-21)  f we aren't to be watchmen, who's left?

What To Expect In Upcoming Newsletters

We cannot give specifics, but we can say that we will be putting out whatever and however the Holy Spirit directs us each time. It will be Scripturally sound. We will be sharing things that the Spirit has taught us, as well as information He has given regarding the times in which we live and our responsibilities thereto.

Time To Stand!

It is time for Christians to stand for the Life of the One in Whom we profess to believe. We cannot straddle the line; it is time to cross the line and commit our all to His Will, His Work and His Way. Some preachers have said that God has been "winking at sin" with regard to some "lesser" sins.  We categorically and unequivocally state that we totally disagree with such thinking. It is without question that God would not "wink" at anything for which His Son died! To think otherwise borders, in our opinion, on blasphemy.

We must put God first--not "with" other "obligations" in our lives. God first. God always. Priority is something with which we tend to struggle. Regardless of what circumstances in which we find ourselves, Almighty God is to be FIRST. Anything we place first in our lives is our god. Any thing or any person we may place first in our lives is an idol. Regardless of the "face" we may put on other things, all are idols. God First.  We are to place our Priority first and everything else and everyone else last.  It may seem a hard thing to say. But, in fact, it is the most loving and protective thing that can be said or done.

From The Bridegroom

Through the years we have been blessed by our Lord with many words from Him of love, encouragement, correction and, sometimes, chastisement, always leading us to Him and into a deeper and clearer relationship with Him. In this heading, we will be expressing these through the direction of His Holy Spirit. We will show dates and any relative information. The directions from the Lord in these last days are very important to all of His children. We pray that you will pray and carefully consider them; and that your own personal relationship with Jesus Christ will grow deeper, wider, higher, as He teaches us all more about Himself and His Kingdom.

God's Chosen People

"Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: May they prosper who love you.  May peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces.  For the sake of my brothers and my friends, I will now say, ‘May peace be within you. ' For the sake of the house of the LORD our God I will seek your good." (Psalm 122:6-9)

Constant amazement fills us as we continue to see the way the Jewish people are maligned by people claiming to be Christians! So as in the days of Hitler, history tells us!

It is not understandable how people claiming belief in Jesus (Yeshua-His Hebrew Name) can be anti-Jew. Yeshua was born of a Jewish virgin. He was reared in a Jewish home. He was taught, and practiced, Jewish law. He was born a Jew; He lived a Jew and He died a Jew!

People have said that "the Jews killed Jesus".  That is not Scriptural: Jesus said, "No one has taken it [His Life] away from me, but I lay it down of My own initiative.  I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again.  This commandment I received from My Father." (John 10:18 )

Anti-Semitism within the church for whom our Lord died is an affront to our Lord and His Life and His Death and Ascension. It is to be taken seriously any anti-Semitic remark that we hear.  We are not to condone--by our silence--such attacks on our brothers.

Look At Current Events

"America has been inviting judgment on itself for a long time. ...the United States of America, founded as one nation under God, has truly betrayed its heritage in many ways.  We have become a nihilistic, hedonistic, self-centered, humanistic nation. The Lord has blessed this nation so greatly, and because of those blessings, we have a profound responsibility. If we continue to push God out of our public life, He is going to withdraw His blessings." (The Final Battle, ©Hal Lindsey, 1995, Western Front, Ltd.)

We listen and read about the ills of our society and yet wonder "Why?" Is it to be wondered why, when a society turns away from God and His Value System, sin and its consequences run rampant? Let's get real here!  Sin begets sin...PERIOD! Don't dress it up! Don't hide it under another label. We are responsible for our actions. Whether we want to be or not, God has deemed it so.  It is to Him we answer: not to a political party, not to a "religion", not to a church.  Before Almighty Jehovah God we will stand. It doesn't matter if we believe it or not.

Bottom Line

The bottom line will be the summary point of all that is in the current newsletter. We are very dedicated to the bottom line with our God in whatever He is doing. There is no room for compromise with Almighty God and His Word and the standards He places before us.

Our obedience is to be quick, sure and consistent. Our God is an All-Consuming Fire. (Hebrews 12:29) He is the One with Whom we reckon. This is the "bottom line". Our King is Gentle, Kind, Righteous and Holy. He gives us the privilege of being His vessels. We must understand the times in which we live. Too much is at stake for us to take lightly anything which He shows us or gives us to do. Bottom line?

WE WILL STAND BEFORE THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE

Choice

The choice before mankind is to accept God's Gift of Life through His Son's Sacrifice, or to deny Him and walk away.  The first choice leads to eternal life with your Creator. The second choice leads to eternal death--cut off forever from your Creator.

God sacrificed His Son because He wants you to be with Him forever.  He wants you to know and experience the blessings He has placed for you.

Will all your problems go away?  No! Will you be given His Strength to persevere? Absolutely! Will you understand everything? You will understand everything that He knows you need to understand.

This moment is destined for you by Almighty God! Reach out and accept His Gracious Gift of Love and Life!

Acknowledge His Presence, declaring that His Son, Jesus Christ, was God come to Earth as a man. He Who created us in His Image has come to call us home to Himself. Accept the FACT that:

Jesus died---for YOUR sins.

He rose---for YOU.

He ascended to His Father---for YOU.

Ask Him to forgive you for your sins. Ask Him to fill you with His Holy Spirit. Reach out to Him...accept Him...love Him and allow Him to love you with His Unequaled, Unconditional, Sacrificial LOVE.               

Jesus Loves---YOU!

In Jesus' Name, be blessed!

Baruch Ha ba B'shem Adonai!

Blessed Is He Who Comes In The Name Of The Lord
