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.

2 Corinthians 4:16
Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day.

The simple truth is that I am growing older and my body feels it and looks like it. And of course you are too, at least if you are still drawing breath on this old planet! My flesh is in the process of dying even as I write this today. If you know the Word of God you should have heard that it is appointed for men to die once and then followed by judgment {Heb.9:27} so death is inevitable—but only for the flesh. You can, as the Lord said, love Him, walk in His ways and choose the blessing and choose life. {Deut.30:16,19} And yes, that is eternal life!

Having chosen that free gift, paid for by the shed blood of Jesus on the cross, I am able to now speak in agreement and with understanding along with the apostle Paul as he wrote to the Colossians saying that I have died and my life is hidden with Christ in God. {Col.3:3} I did it and it wasn't so bad, as a matter of fact it was a great, great blessing and now, what a great place to be. My spirit gets better, healthier, as it is renewed day by day as today's verse proclaims.

As a matter of fact quite a number of years ago when I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior and was born again {Jn.3:6-7} I came to know the truth of what Jesus said to Martha, the sister of Lazarus: “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me shall live even if he dies, and everyone who believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?” {Jn.11:25-26}

I answered, “yes Lord I believe!” Do you? If so you and I can joyfully proclaim together that we have been crucified with Christ and we no longer live, but Christ lives in us. {Gal.2:20} Life eternal! And that should cause some real rejoicing as we come to understand what the Word means when Paul wrote to the Philippians that to die is gain. {Php.1:21} So yes, I am growing older now but I am getting closer and closer to that time the Word of God explains:

“For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality. But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, "death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?" (1 Corinthians 15:53-55)
