VERSE: Sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence. (1 Peter 3:15)

EQUATION: Accept the Lordship of Christ > Yourself + Knowledge of the Holy= Ability to Evangelize in Love.

ACTION: Modern free grace tells new recruits to Christianity that accepting Jesus “in your heart” is all you need for heaven. SHORT CIRCUIT! Sanctify Christ AS LORDmeans one thing – accepting Him as Lord and Master. This is the main qualifier for the true believer to share the Gospel effectively, according to Scripture.

PRAYER: Most High God, Creator and Keeper of the Universe, Thou art most worthy of Praise, Glory and Honor and we worship You and You alone, in the Name of Thy Son – my Lord and my Savior, Jesus Christ. Help us to comprehend what You are saying because it is so simple, we miss it on purpose! We refuse to submit to the Lordship of Christ because we want to make our own choices in life. However, You have made it clear that it is this same fact, from this verse, which will enable us FULLY to comprehend the Gospel of Hope, Love and Heaven so completely, that the overflow from our collective submissive hearts, will flow out to those around us. It is only in this way, many will even grasp Your true love, grace, mercy and long-suffering and the free gift of salvation and eternal life. Help us to be glued to this Truth, Almighty God, in Jesus’ Holy Name, we pray. Amen

Reflecting on the Faith Walk in 2012,  there have been so many small victories with  eternal consequences to so many people, that it boggles the mind. There are some things I can’t really talk about, because only the Lord should know these things: from the saintly brother who works hands on with the persecuted church worldwide to praying for the lost spouse of a close friend…the work of the Lord MUST pick up in 2013!

We are in a new phase of the battle for souls…the battle which demands us to lead others to realize there is more.
There is more to life than selling your birthright for a bowl of stew….or a fake disability SSI check.
There is more to life than expecting some incompetent politician in a far away city to pay for…(you name it) with borrowed Communist chinese money.
There is more to life than chasing your own tail in pursuit of somebody’s definition of success or happiness.
There is a whole lot more than that, my friends!
