Blessed New Year - 2010 at a Glance
Blessed New Year to you dear Brothers and Sisters, Family and Friends!
"LORD, who shall abide in Your tabernacle? who shall dwell in your holy hill? He that walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart." Psalm 15:1-2
The diver plunges deep to find pearls, and we must accept any labor or hazard to win a soul! ~ Charles Spurgeon
Let's declare this a year of soul winning my dear reader! What is stopping us from evangelizing the whole planet? It is you and I who have work to do, souls to save for Christ the King. After a warm (literally hot in the Philippines) Christmas celebration season of Jesus, let's burn bright as the Savior lives in us! AMEN. Are we willing to pay the price this year to serve our LORD, forsake all, deny ourselves, pick up our crosses and reach the masses? Let our number one prayer be for opportunities to share the WORD of GOD which is a river of living water flowing out of our bellies...
What's it going to be this year hot or cold? Do not be lukewarm or the LORD will spit you out of His mouth. Oh how I wish sin would die in all our lives and we would be an army of Saints destroying the works of darkness and rescuing the weak! Come all who are hungry and thirsty for the things of God, incline your ear and sit at Christ's feet. Let us grow richer this year in the grace of God and store up treasures in heaven where crowns of truth are molded...
What a Mighty God we serve!
I deeply appreciate all the love and support from you who partner with us in the ministry we've been entrusted with, THANK YOU! 2009 has been a wonderful year of pioneering and laying a foundation and framework for our service here in Davao City. We have formed some exciting partnerships, and worked alongside some talented individuals and we wait expectantly for the opportunities that lay ahead of us in 2010. Everyday history is made, everyday another couple hundred thousand souls go to hell for all eternity for denying the one man who could save them - Jesus, who offered them eternal life while they were playing in the world...what a sad way to put it but truth is truth. Respect to all those who have their names written in the Lambs Book of Life.
