Our printed newsletters were provided to prison chaplains nationwide for the inmates. Presently, newsletter distribution to correctional facilities has been suspended due to poor funding. We would like you to visit our site regularly, so we will be updating this section whenever "The Good News Letter" is published.

Like Nimrod, Cain, and Martha, there will always be those who feel they can get all the way into Heaven through man-made achievements and success. |
 |
One of the biggest problems the church faces today is the tremendous amount of false doctrine, not just on theological, but also on political issues as well. Doctrines of demons (1 Timothy 4:1) are usually promoted by the twisted scripture approach. |
 |
The narrow path that leads to Heaven is a race for the finish line. You have to stay on the straight and narrow (Matthew 7:13-14). Many people believe that they can sin a little now and then make up for it later by doing a few good deeds. People, it won't work! |
 |
When our faith is built on the Rock, the earth loses its power over us! When we rely on our own flesh, we will fail (Psalm 127:1). However, when we trust in Christ, His Spirit is there to guide us no matter how fierce the storm or how dark it may get. |
 |
"Woe to them! They have taken the way of Cain; they have rushed for profit into Balaam's error; they have been destroyed in Korah's rebellion" (Jude 1:11 NIV). The spiritual influence of these three men is very prevalent in the church today! None of these men were pagans! Each of them claimed to love God, and to be living for Him! |
 |
For those who build their house on anything carnal will fall by the wayside (see Matthew 13:4 and 13:19, Matthew 7:24-27, 1 Corinthians 3:11 and Ephesians 2:19-22). But when we build our house upon the faith and trust we have in Christ Jesus, "...the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it"(Matthew 16:18 KJV). |
 |
The good fruit that God wants to produce in us is the fruit of His Spirit, which "...is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control..." (Galatians 5:22-24 NIV). |
 |
As soon as we attempt to do what Christ tells us to do, every roadblock imaginable gets in our way. On the surface, it looks as if Satan is winning the battle. That obstacle seems like a mountain and we feel so tiny in comparison to it (Matthew 21:21-22). So we look to Christ for our strength! |
 |
Peter was right. These things were definitely strange! But then, "...we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against... spiritual wickedness in high places" (Ephesians 6:12 KJV). You see, God allows attacks like this to occur so that, after He has accomplished the things He planned to do (see Isaiah 55:10-11), "...no flesh should glory in His presence" (1 Corinthians 1:29 KJV). |
 |
Just as God can bring joy and harmony to a marriage, when we love Him and put Him first in all things, He can do the same thing with the body of Christ (Romans 12:4-8, 1 Corinthians 12:12-31, Ephesians 4:4-6, 25 and Colossians 3:15). |
 |
So if you love the Lord with all your heart (Mark 12:30), but have been suffering all kinds of weird afflictions, take heart! For God is preparing, in you, an unshakable foundation! Consequently, if you have been feeling the Refiner's Fire (Zechariah 13:9, Jeremiah 9:7, Psalm 66:10, Isaiah 48:10, 1 Peter 1:3-9, and Revelation 3:18-19), you are in good company. |
 |
There are many spiritual levels to reach as we live for Jesus Christ. How far any of us go depends upon whether or not we pass the preliminary trials and tests of faith (1 Peter 2:18-23). Everything will be going well for awhile. Then, the Lord begins to turn up the heat (Proverbs 17:3). |
 |
Christ can deliver anyone from sin, no matter how vile that sin may be. But He cannot do anything with the proud hypocrites who, through their church attendance and social programs, think they can buy their way into Heaven! |
 |
He is a loving Shepherd to His sheep. He sees the wolves out there. He knows how they are devouring their prey. And He is warning His precious flock to turn away from the things of this world (1 Corinthians 15:33-34). |
 |
Nevertheless, the Lord often overlooks our fears and human frailties as long as we love Him with all our heart and try to please Him (Psalms 103:13-14). Many lies among God’s loved ones are committed out of fear. |
 |
'''Bye-bye, Miss American Pie' drove a Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry..." [Repeating the same theme that we as a nation were no longer attached to the Vine of Christ (see John 15:1-8) and therefore, had no spiritual moisture to grow good fruit (Galatians 5:22-25). |
 |
Satan will dangle his bait right under your nose. Like the forbidden fruit, it will seem good to your senses (see Genesis 3:6). But there’s a hook in there that the devil will use to reel you in! |
 |
Know that the Lord loves you. And whatever trials and tribulations come your way, remember that they are the Shepherd’s tools, His rod and His staff (see Psalm 23:4), herding you back into the safety of His Holy Kingdom. |
 |
As Christians we need to grow in our walk with God. The Born Again experience is only the beginning of our relationship with the Lord. Not the end! |
 |
The best gifts we can give to the Lord are our love (Deuteronomy 6:5), trust (Proverbs 3:5-6), obedience (1 Samuel 15:22-23), and spirit (Romans 8:13-14). |
 |
The problem is that elevating Christian pastors up on a pedestal, and putting ones trust totally in human wisdom (1 Corinthians 1:26 thru 2:5) is not good for the pastor. And it is not good for the congregation. For it can lure him into the sin of pride (Proverbs 16:5). |
 |
There was a time when children were taught Christianity in public schools and were well behaved in class. Now shootings in schools happen so often that, while we are upset about it, we are no longer surprised when it happens. |
 |
The problem is that as society continues to draw further away from the traditional Judo-Christian values America was founded on, the bad apple population increases. And Satan has added a new component to his recipe for the decay of society. |
 |
Those who condemn Trump the most for something that happened eleven years should look in the mirror of God themselves, the Bible, and see how they measure up. Who among us isn’t ashamed and embarrassed about something they did in their life that they would not want others to know about? |
 |
Let’s face it, this is a very difficult world in which we live, especially in these last days before the Lord’s return. Satan wants to weaken our faith and drown out every vestige of Christianity from our culture. |
 |
Do you think life has gotten tougher since you repented of your sins and asked God to come into your heart and take control of your life? If so, it’s not by accident! It’s a part of God’s plan of perfection for you. |
 |
Now, let’s get to the root of the issue. All these problems boil down to one systemic fact. People don’t fear God anymore (Romans 3:10-18)! And who is primarily responsible for this? It’s the purveyors of "secular humanism," that liberal propaganda that has reached its tentacles into vast segments of society! |
 |
The question has been in the mind of people for thousands of years. "How can I please God?" The unsaved ask, "What can God do for me?" But the spiritually mature in Christ ask, "Lord, what is Your will for my life?" So it's not about what we can do for God, but what God can do through us. |
