A Call to Duty
We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our service men and women, who give their lives to defend our country. Your loyalty and sacrifice is deeply appreciated, although not acknowledged often enough. We pray for your safe return.
"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." ~ John 15:13

Yet, the greatest battle ever won happened over 2000 years ago when God sent His only Son, the Lord Jesus, to die in the battle for the souls of men.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." ~ John 3:16
Although it grieved His heart to do it, there was no other way. Love for mankind allowed God to put His only Son to death for the payment of our sins.
"But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed." ~ Isaiah 53:5
Darkness covered over the earth. Even the sun stopped shining. The suffering of His Son touched the Father's heart when in agony of heart, Jesus cried out to Him, "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me!" and said, "...It is finished!" and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. ~ John 19:30
Satan thought he conquered Him, now that Jesus was dead. They wrapped His body in a fine linen, and placed Him a tomb. But three days later, Jesus arose from the grave! The battle now was over! Jesus won victoriously in the battle for the souls of men!

Dear Soul, The Lord loves you deeply. Enough to suffer the agony of the cross. How deeply was His love expressed, in reconciling the bridge between God and man.
The Scripture says, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." ~ Romans 3:23
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."
Don't fall asleep without Jesus until you are assured of a place in heaven.
Tonight, if you would like to receive the gift of eternal life first you must believe in the Lord. You have to ask for your sins to be forgiven and put your trust in the Lord. To be a believer in the Lord, ask for eternal life. There's only one way to heaven and that's through the Lord Jesus. That's God's wonderful plan of salvation.
You can begin a personal relationship with Him by praying from your heart a prayer such as the following:
"Dear Lord, I am sinner. I am sorry for my sins. I want to turn from my sin. I receive Jesus Christ as my Savior; I confess Him as my Lord. From now on I want to follow Him. In Jesus' name, Amen."
If you have received the Lord Jesus as your personal Savior after reading this invitation, please let us know. We would love to hear from you. Your first name is sufficient. |
