Oh let us pray over this scripture everyday………
O Lord, whenever I think anything contrary to your word, reveal that to me. Philippians 3:15
Fellowship with Christ is the secret of happiness now and forever.
“Frustration exists to highlight where and how the Lord wants to change you. It can either be the spark of life that creates a new dimension or the detonation of all that we hold dear. Be careful not to snuff out that spark, but nurture it properly.” Graham Cooke
“One of our biggest problems is that most of us don’t really understand the fullness of who we are in Jesus. That’s our journey. That’s our passion. That’s our joy. That’s going to be an endless source of enjoyment for us!” AMEN!
It is very important to me that you drink this whole CUP, Sharon and I have a personal message to you

Yesterday was a HUGE day in our LORD at the First Baptist Church in Magdalena, NM! What a wonderful time in our Lord Sharon and I had with Pastor Paul Holt and his lovely wife Jo and the entire congregation.
We are so grateful to Pastor Paul and Jo for having us. We Preached on the Sermon on the Mount and being salt and Light. No portion of scripture was more quoted and referred to in the first 400 years of the Church
than the sermon on the mount. There is no room in any one book to detail the impact of “these words” on all cultures over the last 2,000 years. The Golden rule, The Lords prayer, love your enemies, go the second mile, blessed are the meek, salt and light.
President Harry Truman said, “I don’t believe there is a problem in this country or world today which could not be settled on the teachings of the Sermon on the Mount.
President Ronald Reagan used the Sermon on the Mounts “City on a hill” as a guiding light for his years
in office. Both President Bush 1 and 2 used the Sermon on the Mount in their years in the White House.
Remember last week when we shared with you that Albuquerque Journal writer Leslie Linthicum wrote
that Jesus did not protect the Griego family? I addressed this statement as dangerous territory…….and
I asked Pastor Paul Holt to be Salt and Light and comment……….
In an op-ed piece written by Leslie Linthicum that appeared in the Albuquerque Journal on 01/24/13. Ms. Linthicum stated regarding the tragic deaths of the Greg Griego family, “We can spend a lot of time speculating on what was going on in Nehemiah’s heart last weekend. But we know that Jesus did not protect the Griego family, Nehemiah included, from evil.”
Yet, earlier in the article she stated, “Nehemiah reloaded the weapons, put them in the back of the family van and thought about going to Wal-mart, where he intended to kill a lot more people and go out with guns ablaze in a shootout with the cops. Instead, he ended up at his church and, thankfully, the death toll stopped at five.”
The twisted logic of those who oppose Jesus is that they fail to take into account free will. The Lord allows us to choose this day either life or death. On the surface, it appears that Jesus is impotent to protect a family that choose Him. The Lord chooses to limit His sovereignty to allow free will, as we saw on 9/11. But we should also understand that Jesus directed Nehemiah to leave his guns in the family mini van instead of him shooting up the local Walmart or Calvary Chapel.
What can we learn from this and other tragedies? That safety and preservation of life is bought with the loss of freedom? That Jesus is without power in our world? No. We learn that everyone has a choice. Even those who have trusted the Lord. Death is an unnatural part of this fallen world and is always tragic. Jesus allows death to continue until this age is finished. Christians must understand that we must continue to choose the Lord and His ways each and every day. Evil can still be invited into the most Christian of homes and we are each allowed this choice. Jesus did protect the Griego family. According to the testimony of those who knew them, they trusted in the Lord and they are with Him even now. We are not to fear the one who can take our lives, but the one who can take our life and our soul.
Well today in the front page of the Albuquerque Journal my discernment was so sadden in the front
page write up by Joline Gutierrez endorsing abortion.
You see, this is why we have to be salt and light and carry out the Great Commission. Many that
read this write up will agree that abortion is okay, because they do not have a Biblical view of life.
They have not met our Lord Jesus Christ. They are not familiar with or do not believe the Sermon
on the Mount. They believe the “NOTHING NOISE” of the world. Just like on CNN with the
talk show host saying the Bible needs to be amended! Very dangerous territory. But again, thousands
and thousands watching that program will be in agreement with talk show host Morgan because
they don’t know any better. We are to love on people and show them the ways of our Lord Jesus Christ.
David Wells says this:
Our world, our resplendent culture, has been turned into a substitute for God. However, this substitute , we quickly discover, offers no principles by which to live. Furthermore, we also find that the self that
has to fill the void at the center of our lives is incapable of fulfilling this function….if we could see more
clearly God in the full blaze of His burning purity, we would not be on easy terms with all sins that now
infect our souls and breed easy compromise with the spirit of the postmodern age.
Chuck Swindoll says this:
It is precisely this kind of tolerance for sin that threatens to undo the Church of Jesus Christ. If the
Church does not realize this danger and take a stand against it——first in ourselves personally,
and then in our congregations—-the Church will weaken it’s standard, it will lose it’s contagion, and
it will continue to drift from the Lord’s goals for the Church toward a narcissistic obsession to
self-satisfaction
I just could not agree more with all of the above! AMEN! It is the mission of FGGAM to be salt and light
to carry our the Great Commission, to bring the light of Jesus Christ to one person at a time.
Pastor Paul Holt said yesterday, "You have (FGGAM) a cutting edge ministry." It is the work
assigned to me and Sharon from our Lord. We need your help! We need to get our love
offering support up, we need to raise JUST another $1, 500 to $2,000 a month to sustain this (I say
that between figure of $1,500 and $2,000 because we have had inconsistent monthly giving)
We also need to make our house payment and etc. If you value what we do, will you help us? We have $1,000 left to our name.
Sharon's Mom gave us a seed gift to start us.......Now we are asking all of you who
believe in what the Lord is doing through us to stand in the gap with us.
Ezekiel 13:5 You have not gone up into the gaps or breeches, nor built up the wall for the house of Israel that it might stand in the battle in the day of the Lord.

I find it interesting all we need is $35,000 to $40,000 a year and millions in this Country are wasted everyday.
My life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus. Acts 20:24
That is my life verse.
