For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. (2 Tim. 1:7)
We are living in very strange and scary times! One must not need look far to see just how crazy and upside down the world is. Death, destruction, resentment, and intolerance are everywhere, and the way things are heading, it’s not hard to see that there’s another World War on the horizon. We are further seeing religious persecution, as Muslims are mercilessly slaughtering Christians in countries throughout the world as militant Islamists spread through the Middle East and Africa, while boasting of their coming “caliphate,” in which they seek to rule over the masses with their tyrannical “sharia law.”
Even in America, we are seeing a complete takeover by radical socialists, who spy on the people daily with their Gestapo-style surveillance (through the NSA), and attempt to enslave everyone to their communistic ideals, while undermining the Constitution and obliterating the rule of law. If that weren’t bad enough, they continue to heap upon the national debt as they follow the Cloward and Piven plan to destroy the U.S. economy, and bankrupt the entire nation, all while they leave the borders entirely open to illegal aliens and terrorists.
But this shouldn’t be a shock to you, as the Bible says: “…we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rules of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places
” (Eph. 6:12). Truly, forces of darkness are at work in the world today which are arduously working towards their goal of setting up a Satanic New World Order to enslave the entire world. Even the President of America is doing things that are so criminal and outrageous, that many religious leaders are openly stating that they believe he is the very Anti-Christ of which the Bible prophesied in the book of Daniel. (I don’t know, but it is interesting that he has appeared to have fulfilled almost all of the prophecies in Daniel chapter 11). If all this weren’t bad enough, the United Kingdom announced in June that the teaching of Divine Creation is ILLEGAL in British schools, and only Evolution is allowed to be taught.
So, clearly, there is a spiritual, physical, intellectual, and political attack on all mankind, and if the Lord doesn’t come back soon, the entire world will sink back into the second “dark ages.” Thankfully, we are not finished, and as the verse above states, “God hath not given us the spirit of fear...” For this reason, we need to do even more for Jesus in the short time we have lefft as we battle an epic spiritual war, and try to liberate souls from the devil’s coming global government. As for us, we are doubling up our efforts as we serve the Lord amidst a changing world that grows actively hostile towards God, the Bible, and the Gospel, with each passing day.
COMPLETED DVD ON CREATIONISM
Several months ago, I reported that I worked with Creation Science Evangelism in Pensacola, as we recorded a short DVD based on Dr. Kent Hovind’s Creation videos. Eric Hovind, Kent’s son, spoke in English while I translated in Spanish. The finished DVD is now available, and I’m enclosing a copy of it with this prayer letter. The DVD is in English and Spanish, so I encourage you to watch it yourself. Yet, it was designed to be given to Spanish-speaking people with the hope they will watch it and then order the longer version of the 6 DVD set in Spanish, (which we recorded back in 2005 in Honduras). Also, at the end of the DVD, I preach a Gospel invitation in Spanish. So, I ask you to pass this DVD along to a Spanish-speaking person. That should not be too hard, as they are pouring into our country in droves! One estimate says that 15 million have come into America through the open borders in just the last couple of years. I reported about 5 years ago that there were already an estimated 35 million illegal Hispanics in our nation (about 10%). So if the numbers are true, that means there can soon be as many as 50 million Spanish-speakers in our nation! We need to reach them! And this DVD is a great way to get them the truth about Creation, and the Gospel.
PASSING OUT TRACTS AND WITNESSING
With all the Spanish-speaking illegal aliens in America, we’ve found we don’t have to go too far to reach them, as they are everywhere. So, we take Spanish tracts with us and pass them out in supermarkets, garage sales, flea markets, and many other places. The best time to find them is on the week-end, as they are everywhere. Many have yet to learn English, so when I hear them speaking Spanish, I love introducing myself and speaking with them. Sadly, many are so Catholic they won’t listen to what I have to say, but they do take a tract. In fact, I can’t think of one instance in which a Spanish-speaker in America rejected a tract. But many English-speakers have and continue to do so. It also makes one think God is finished with America, and we are seeing his judgment on this nation because of it. Hopefully, more Christians will speak up, especially while we still have the freedom to do so.
On a final note, please pray for Joe, a man I met one Saturday in June. His father passed away at the age of 50, and this young man was devastated. When I spoke to him about the Lord, he said, “Well, I used to go to the Assembly of God church.” I replied, “Well, you know that going to church doesn’t save you! What you need is to have your sins forgiven, and the only way according to the Bible is by FAITH in the FINISHED BLOOD ATONEMENT of Jesus Christ.” He listened, but didn’t seem to understand. At least I planted a seed. Please pray for his salvation.
TRUE RELIGION
When people ask me if I’m “religious” I respond with a boisterous, “NO!” Being quick to add that: “Religion is a system of WORKS that men do to justify themselves to God.” Also, I note that it was the “religious leaders” that killed Jesus Christ. I then tell them that rather than “religious,” I’m “justified” or “saved,” and the difference is that it’s not by my WORKS, but by FAITH. I’m further careful to explain that “salvation is what you take when you finally realize that you can’t save yourself, thus you trust Jesus’ finished work to save you!” This is a great way to witness to others!
But the Bible does tells us what “true religion” is in James 1:27, “Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and WIDOWS in their affliction…”
I state this, as most of you know, that we are taking care of my widowed grandmother, Lucy, who is now 93 years old. Because of this, it makes it hard for me to travel like I used do, as she is taking more and more of my time, not allowing me to leave overnight anymore.
We appreciate your prayers for her, and for those of you who asked about how she’s doing. She has her good days and bad days. On the good days, we have more liberty to go pass out tracts, and witness to others, but on the bad days we stay home close by her. Every now and then she suffers very painful episodes with her stomach, and has what the doctors call some sort of intestinal disease. And, as you can imagine, this gets messy.
I never thought I’d ever do the work of a nurse, but that’s what it seems I’m doing now. And, God is showing me some things through it. I always dreaded something like this happening, and I thought I couldn’t take it or go through it. But I’m finding that God’s grace is sufficient, and if you really love someone, it’s easy to care for them. I’m also learning about how good Jesus is to take care of us! So please pray for us, as we are doing our best to practice what the Bible calls “true religion.”
ECOUNTERING EVIL IN THIS WORLD
Truly we are in the last days. And, because of this we see more and more people using wicked means to defraud others. With that stated, I thought I’d mention something that happened to me the other day, in hopes it might help you as well. While shopping one weekend, I went to the cash register to pay, and gave a certain bill to the cashier. When he returned my change, it was the wrong amount, being very short of what I expected. I asked what happened, and the cashier told me that I gave him a bill of lower denomination. But I did not. (I knew exactly what bill I gave him, as I was calculating in my head what my change should be). To make a long story short, the cashier argued with me and wouldn’t give me my change. I ended up having to call the sheriff, and when he came, he tried to fix the problem. But the cashier and business owner (who by this time came over to see what was happening) would not do anything, instead calling me a “liar.” With no video camera to prove I was right, the police told me that my only option was to take the man to civil court, and it would cost me 70 dollars. However, the “burden of proof” would be on me, and I would have to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that I was right.
Since I couldn’t do this, as it was basically my word against the word of the Cashier (or as the Police put it: “his opinion vs. your opinion), I was then out of luck, and never got back the rest of my money. I was sad the rest of the day, and so bummed that a criminal could do something like that and the law protected him. But after looking this up online and talking with others, I found that this is a very common scam today, especially in our bad economy, and many are doing this to steal from others. Sadly, the law is on their side, as most people won’t take it to court, and if they do, “How do you prove it?”
After telling my wife about it, and sulking for a while, she had a great idea to protect us from future scammers. Now we mark every single bill we get in a specific place with a pen, and that way if something like that happens again, we can prove beyond any shadow of a doubt which bill we paid with, and they won’t be able to argue with us, as each bill we carry holds a certain mark in a certain place. This might be a good idea for you as well. I hope you don’t have to go through what we went through, but if you begin marking your bills, then you will have “proof” in case something like this ever happens to you.
Because of Christ Jesus our Lord,
