Isn’t it interesting how King Asa, stood against the multitudes with his 580,000 against 1.3 million face face! What that’s faith! But listen to what he says! We are told as he faced the impossible that in faith he stood and prayed!
Asa cried to the LORD his God, "O LORD, there is none like you to help, between the mighty and the weak. Help us, O LORD our God, for we rely on you, and in your name we have come against this multitude. O LORD, you are our God; let not man prevail against you." - 2 Chronicles 14:11

This is the Day the Lord has made, let us be glad and rejoice it in! Psalm 118:24
We will respond to all the emails that we have coming in ASAP, thanks for your care and very blessed gestures! May the Lord bless you all and our nation! Keep the faith and keep “Getting In The Word”
The truth will always cost you something! What has it cost you lately? I’m so proud of our Church and their willingness to stand for truth! Take a stand with us as we stand like King Asa before the impossible, yet with faith and prayer and trust in the Lord!
Great is Thy Faithfulness!

5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,
6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped,
7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.
8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. - Philippians 2:5-8

Jeremiah 17:7-8
7 Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose trust is the Lord.
8 For he will be like a tree planted by the water That extends its roots by a stream, And does not fear when the heat comes; But its leaves will be green, And it will not be anxious in a year of drought,
Nor cease to yield fruit.

Amos 5:14-15 NASB
14 Seek good and not evil, so that you may live; And so may the Lord God of armies be with you, Just as you have said!
15 Hate evil, love good,
And establish justice in the gate! Perhaps the Lord God of armies Will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.

When fear moves in, Faith moves out! Stop walking in fear, and walk by faith.
6 So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, 7 for we walk by faith, not by sight. - 2 Corinthians 5:6-7

1 O LORD, God of vengeance, O God of vengeance, shine forth!
2 Rise up, O judge of the earth; repay to the proud what they deserve!
3 O LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked exult?
4 They pour out their arrogant words; all the evildoers boast.
5 They crush your people, O LORD, and afflict your heritage.
6 They kill the widow and the sojourner, and murder the fatherless;
7 and they say, "The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob does not perceive." - Psalm 94:1-7

Proverbs 19:21-23
21 Many plans are in a person’s heart, But the advice of the Lord will stand.
22 What is desirable in a person is his kindness, And it is better to be a poor person than a liar.
23 The fear of the Lord leads to life, So that one may sleep satisfied, untouched by evil.
Do you need peace tonight? What are you fearing tonight? Fear the Lord, for He will teach the humble His way.
(See Psalm 25)

The fact that Christians disagree on what the Bible teaches does not mean that there is a lack of clarity in Scripture, but rather in Christians. The Word of God is our authoritative rule for faith and practice—meaning that it is perfectly sufficient for teaching sound doctrine and governing right living. ~ Dr. John MacArthur
A little encouragement for the ladies: from Jennifer
“But God sets no traps for us. Quite on the contrary. He has summoned us to the only true and full freedom. The woman who defines her liberation as doing what she wants, or not doing what she doesn’t want, is, in the first place, evading responsibility. Evasion of responsibility is the mark of immaturity.”

Don't listen to the Devil; he is a liar! He is still lying today as he did in Genesis 3:1 when he said to Eve, "Has God indeed said, 'You shall not eat of every tree of the garden'?" Don't be deceived; God's Word is always TRUE! Stand on the Truth of His Word, and don't entertain the lair.
