Here is our faithful brother, Paul Washer again whom God has used to preach the true Gospel of Christ and exhort others to do the same.

"I want you to know, brothers, that the Gospel I preached is not something that man made up. I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ." ~ Galatians 1:11-12

"When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or superior wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling. My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power." ~ 1 Corinthians 2:1-5




This is Paul Washer of HeartCry Missionary Society. My heart yearns for all of us who have the incredible privilege to call ourselves children of God to burn with passion for our Lord, Savior, God - awesome, holy, sovereign - our Lord God who has no equal is worthy to be praised, honored and worshipped because He is who He is and looks upon us wretched souls and loves us enough to give us all that He has, His one and only begotten Son, Jesus Christ.

Knowing this, how can any child of God not desire to give Him all we have? What is so good here on this earth, that we must hold on to it with one hand and try to hold on to God with the other? What causes us to be so double-minded? What is so great about this world? What is so great about our desires outside of God? What is so wonderfully captivating about the things of this world that our minds our not continually renewed and transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit?

Lord God, whom have I in Heaven but You? And earth has nothing I desire besides You! My flesh and heart may fail, but Father God, YOU are the strength of my heart and my portion forever! What more could I want?!







I'd like to tell you a story about four people, named:
Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody

There was a very important job to be done, and Everybody was asked to do it. Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did. So, Somebody got angry about this, because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought Somebody would do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

The moral of this story is: Be a Nobody and do what Everybody won’t! Live a life honoring to Christ alone and evangelize, evangelize, evangelize...GO AND MAKE DISCIPLES! Don’t strive to be like Everybody and follow the crowd; don’t pursue to make a name for yourself in this world and become Somebody; and don’t settle to be just Anybody; but make your life’s goal to become Nobody so that the Gift of Jesus Christ’s fullness may be displayed in you so that the entire Body of Christ may be built up!

“Then Jesus said to His disciples:
If any of you want to be my followers, you must forget about yourself. You must take up your cross and follow me. If you want to save your life, you will destroy it. But if you give up your life for me, you will find it.”
~ Matthew 16:24-25 (CEV)

“And how do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul in the process? Is anything worth more than your soul?”
~ Matthew 16:26 (NLT)

“So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday ordinary life – your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life – and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you. I’m speaking to you out of deep gratitude for all that God has given me, and especially as I have responsibilities in relation to you. Living then, as every one of you does, in pure grace, it’s important that you not misinterpret yourselves as people who are bringing this goodness to God. No, God brings it all to you. The only accurate way to understand ourselves is by what God is and by what does for us, not by what we are and what we do for Him.”
~ Romans 12:1-3 (The Message)
