Our ministry is to reach out to the world with the Good News of Jesus Christ and to help believers be equipped with a solid knowledge of the Word of God, the Bible, and be encouraged to apply it in every aspect of their daily lives. There are simple truths for these complex times to help people live in a way that brings real spiritual victory to them and more importantly, through the Lord Jesus Christ, glory to God our Father.

Luke 12:2-3
For there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known. Therefore, whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.

Jesus was speaking to His disciples, warning them of the hypocrisy of the Pharisees when He made that statement, today's verse. Hypocrisy is always evil, generally trying to hide the truth of what you really are to be seen as something better than you are! That is particularly so in the case of our spirituality—our relationship with the Lord. The truth is that the truth will come to light and everything about us will be exposed for all to see!

That was something that really scared me before I was saved. The idea that everybody would come to know my darkest secrets was as scary as hell. I am not cursing, it is factual because hell would be the result! Before I was redeemed by the grace of God hellish behavior was what was in me, however well hidden under a veneer of goodness. But now, yes, but now...drum roll please..."

All my sins are gone. Jesus paid the price and took them away, gone as far as the east is from the west as David wrote. {Ps.103:12} Now, I am the very righteousness of God in Christ! {2Cor.5:21} And there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ. {Rom.8:1} I am a child of God and the best is yet to come! For the plan, unshakable and unbreakable, is that God now continues the work in me for His good pleasure {Php.2:13} to conform me into the image of His Son, Christ Jesus! {Rom.8:29}

If you have yet to do that, take a moment now and go to the Father through His Son Jesus to receive that free gift. Free to you, paid for by the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. He is still saying 'come to Me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.' {Matt.11:28}

Therefore, I shall joyfully proclaim the excellencies of Him who called me out of that darkness and into His marvelous light {1Pt.2:9} and give all of the glory to God. That is what I and everybody who has accepted His love will shout from the rooftops! What a heavenly chorus that will be!

“The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Corinthians 15:56-57)
