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.

Deuteronomy 10:14
Behold, to the Lord your God belong heaven and the highest heavens, the earth and all that is in it.

What Moses stated here in today's verse was just what David, a man after God's heart {Acts 13:22} would say in the Psalms. {Ps.24:1} And remember, out of the mouth of two or three witnesses every word is confirmed as the apostle Paul wrote. {2Cor.13:1} In addition to Moses and David, the Spirit, the water and the blood of Jesus bear witness! {1Jn.5:8}

From the very beginning God made clear the plan. He said, “'For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.” {Jer.29:11} He created the heavens and the earth, the fish, the animals and crowning it all, “God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” {Gen.1:27} And then the Lord gave man dominion over the earth to cultivate and keep it. {Gen.2:25} In other words to faithfully care for it!

God gave Adam and the woman a ministry—He entrusted them with a ministry. And the Lord has given you and I, all believers, a ministry to care for, to nourish, to build and protect—to cultivate everything that He has entrusted us with. You and I do not own anything! Adam and the woman did not own the garden or the world but God had given them stewardship of it and possession of it.

All too unfortunately they were not faithful with that gift the Lord had entrusted them with. And all of mankind has suffered the consequences of their disobedience ever since, continuing on with disregard for the commands of God. And worse yet, mankind had no way to fix it! However, in His grace and love The Father sent Jesus to repair it—more accurately, to re-pair us with Him!

Trained by Joseph the carpenter, His earthly step-father, Jesus would have been well trained to work with wood. That was part of His heavenly Father's plan as the Savior was on His way to do His real work. He gave His life upon the wood of a cross on Golgotha a hill on the outskirts of Jerusalem. Remember no man took it {Jn.10:18}. He suffered that horrible death, pleasing to the Lord, YHWH, {Is.53:10} for the joy set before Him. {Heb.12:2} You and I, all who have received that gift of life, ARE the joy set before Him for all eternity!

We saints, children of the Most High now must faithfully fulfill our calling—to proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you and I out of darkness and into His marvelous light. {1Pt.2:9}

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through Him.” (John 3:16-17)

GROW IN RESPECT TO SALVATION
