TRUTH IN LOVE, Have you ever wondered…
If “gospel” means “Good News”, then why do so many preach bad news all the time?
It is time to look again at what we believe and get away from the futile traditions of men; we shall then be able to become more aware of the reality of our Father’s presence in us.
In our writings we try to look the meanings of certain words, their context and how the Holy Spirit will reveal the mind of Christ. God’s thinking does not vary, so we desire to find His conclusion to a matter for we are established by revelation not by education alone.
The Holy Spirit will teach us ALL things (John 14:26 with His spiritual word which is very much higher than the natural or literal word of scripture. The Living Word, Jesus Christ, said that His words were spirit and they were life (John 6:63
This is a ministry of love . May they be received in the same spirit of love in which they are shared. If there be any thoughts expressed that seem to be the result of only natural thinking, we trust that a little breath of kindness shall blow the chaff away, that the kernel of truth might remain to bless. Amen!
Have you ever wondered…

Bad news like…
• You are going to hell if you don’t do what we tell you to do.
• Jesus preached more about hell than he did heaven.
• People in hell will be tortured forever.
• God is a God of justice, wrath, and vengeance.
• God hates you.
• You must clean up your life before God can love you.
• You are worthless unless you believe like we do.
• People choose to go to hell.
• God will punish you for eternity for what you did in a limited lifetime here.
• People in heaven will rejoice to see the suffering of those in hell.
• God wants everyone to be saved, but He will not override your free will. He limits Himself in accomplishing His will.
DOES THIS SOUND LIKE GOOD NEWS TO YOU? IF NOT, WE INVITE YOU TO THE “GOOD” NEWS.
God is the Savior of all men (1 Timothy 4:10
The good news is that the ‘gospel’ really is GOOD NEWS, and there is no bad news! The word ‘gospel’ (‘evangel’ from the Greek) is a compound word (‘eu’ – good, and ‘angelion’ – message).
God loves you unconditionally. He loved you before he created the world (Ephesians 1:3-14. It was God who acted on your behalf to reconcile you to Himself while you were still His enemy (Romans 5:8-11.
That means that even though you are unable to live by God’s law, God makes you right with Him through the death of His Son, Jesus Christ (Romans 8:1-4O).
You can have peace with God right now (Romans 5:1).
You can have an abundant, overflowing life right now (John 10:10O
You can know God’s forgiveness right now (Ephesians 1:7-8
AND ALL OF THIS IS BECAUSE OF JESUS’ DEATH AND RESURRECTION.
IT IS FINISHED (John 19:30
