Rootings

Greetings to all of you!

Having commemorated Jesus death and resurrection, we are reminded that Jesus chose to go through all He did for us in order to restore us back into fellowship with God (John 3:16). However, even though God very much wants us restored back into His family, He still gives us the option whether to choose or reject His offer.

To accept His gift of eternal life, we acknowledge that we are totally helpless to save ourselves because of our sinful condition (Romans 3:23); and hence, we are totally dependent on Jesus Christ to save us through His perfect and complete work of redemption completed on the cross of cavalry 2000 years ago.

In gratefulness for His abundant blessings, we ask Him to take the position of Lord of our lives and ask Him to help us be obedient to Him and make us more and more like Him in all aspects of our lives (Romans 10:9). If this sounds complicated and you can only manage a prayer that sounds like “Help!”, you can be sure that God will honor that.

If we choose to reject God’s offer, He never retracts His offer and He doesn’t ever give up on us! Jesus taught, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened unto you” (Matthew 7:7). If you ask God to help you to find Him, He will honor your request.

However, please realize that in rejecting God’s offer, we are choosing to continue to live in dangerous territory. A good read that might help is Mark Cahill’s book, One Heartbeat Away: Your Journey into Eternity.

An excellent web site to checkout is Ray Comfort’s and Kirk Cameron’s www.WayOfTheMaster.com where you can get answers to some questions that you may have. And please, by all means, keep coming back here. With God’s help, we should have more resources for you to explore.

We pray for God’s abundant blessings to result in wisdom, knowledge, understanding, discernment, and fulfilment in your life through His truth as recorded in His love letters to us, the Bible. We read in James 1:5, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.”

Thank you for visiting our site! Until next time, blessings to all of you!

We hope you are as excited as we are to commemorate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ from the dead!

This was the final seal of victory that God the Father planned from the beginning of the world. Based on this victory, the human race is now able to join Father God’s family (John 1:12), so that we can experience the richness of His friendship and all the benefits of His kingdom while we are on this earth (Matthew 6:10).

This is something that comes up over and over again as we read the Bible. Derek Prince, in his Atonement book teaches about the 9 exchanges made by Jesus Christ’s perfect work of redemption completed on the cross of Calvary (Ephesians 1:7-8; Galatians 3:13-14). These are so great to think about, we list them here:

1) Jesus was punished that we might be forgiven. 2) He was wounded that we might be healed. 3) He was made sin with our sinfulness that we might be made righteous with His righteousness. 4) He died our death that we might share His life. 5) He was made a curse that we might receive the blessing. 6) He endured our poverty that we might share His abundance. 7) He bore our shame that we might share His glory. He endured our rejection that we might enjoy His acceptance. 9) Our old man died in Jesus that the new man might live in us.

Prince summarizes the exchanges, “All the evil due, by justice, to come to us came on Jesus, so that all the good due to Jesus, earned by His sinless obedience, might be made available to us.” He continues, “You will never be able to find any reason you deserved His exchange. It is the outworking of God’s sovereign grace. It is the expression of His measureless love.”

Isn’t this exciting? Doesn’t it just make one want to read the Bible and find the nuggets of truth that God has for us in His love letter to us?

We hope you are as encouraged and lifted in learning more about God’s great love for us, as we are! Also, The 700 Club at www.cbn.com has been a great source of encouragement for us. Please check it out!

Finally, we are doing a lot of praying and planning for this web site. Please pray that the Lord will enable us to do a great job in spreading His love around the world with the goal of helping more people find the Father and belonging in His kingdom. We know that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us!

To God be the glory! Blessings to you all!

Welcome!

We are excited that you are visiting our website! We hope to encourage you that God loves you and wants you to be part of His family. We are a husband and wife team that both have 3 to 4 decades of experience in living the Christian life. We have grown to appreciate God and His love for us over the years.

We have also come to understand that His love for us is really an expression of His love for the entire human race! So, we wish to pass on what we know works or doesn’t work because we know that’s what God would want us to do.

With that said, we would like our website to help increase our understanding of the God’s book written to and for us, the Bible, and applying Biblical truths to various areas of our lives that result in spiritual growth and benefits as God also desires this.

There are a lot of different Bible translations out there and you may find one that is easy to read, handy to carry with you, or other nice-to-have feature. Because we believe knowledge of God’s will as revealed through the Bible is so central to living a fulfilled life, it is critical that we know that the translation is faithful to the original Hebrew or Greek texts.

So, whatever translation you are using, we recommend having a King James version with which you can reference when you have a question about a passage of scripture. Many King James version Bibles come with a concordance section in the back that lets you locate a passage if you remember a word from a passage you partially recall.

Some Bibles have explanations in the margins; for example, the Dake’s Bible is very good in this aspect. Some Bibles like John Maxwell’s “The Maxwell Leadership Bible” is the New King James Version text accompanied by excellent insights and teachings by John Maxwell, a godly leader of leaders. In the conclusion of his book, “The 21 Most Powerful Minutes in a Leader’s Day”, Maxwell writes, “… the Bible is the greatest leadership book ever written.”

One resource we have enjoyed immensely is Sid Roth’s, “It’s Supernatural!”. Roth’s website, www.sidroth.org, features both television and radio interviews which he conducts each week. The interviews are testimonials of personal encounters with God in some aspect; such as, healing, deliverance, or provision.

We have found most of the interviews uplifting and encouraging. Also, each interview typically is accompanied by some resources; such as, a book or set of CDs or DVDs that can be ordered.

Once again, we hope you enjoy our website! Please come back again!

Hello! We are finally back in new form. We are excited to build this site to serve our visitors with content that will help you live your life to the fullest! Thank you for visiting our web site!
