In Conclusion

You’re blessed when your commitment to God provokes persecution. The persecution drives you even deeper into God’s kingdom.” Not only that-count yourselves blessed every time people put you down or throw you out or speak lies about you to discredit me. What it means is that the truth is too close for comfort and they are uncomfortable. You can be glad when that happens-give a cheer, even!-for though they don’t like it, I do! And all heaven applauds. And know that you are in good company. My prophets and witnesses have always gotten into this kind of trouble. “Matthew 5:10-12 Message

We believe God has given us the ministry of teaching people who are dying how to live life fully… and by the way, we are all dying. We don’t know the day or the hour for anyone but we do know the end result. So live a sermon of God’s love today. Share the truth of Jesus Christ through your deeds and your words. Find someone who needs the hope within you. Live the blessings of the poor in spirit, those who mourn, the meek, those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, the merciful, the pure in heart and the peacemakers. And if you are persecuted because of it, you’re in good company. Don’t count on having tomorrow to live the beatitudes… the blessings. You don’t know who has tomorrow. Today is the day. Love God ~ love people, share the way of salvation. Leave the results up to God.

I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes…
