CHURCH NEWS AND OTHER FEATURES
The Lord’s Way
Evangelist Rachel Thomas
Jesus did most of His Soul
winning from the bottom of
society’s pile - Do we?
Jesus touched the
untouchables, love the unlov-
ables went after the irretriev-
ables, won the unwinnables; are
we following Jesus?
This Gospel Ministry
deals with Life and Death
issues.
We, the Unswitchables,
have our Marching Orders -
The Word and appointment of
God! We will follow No other
cadence, Heed No other
Drummer.
We have given total alle
giance to the Lord Jesus Christ!
None other shall have
our Loyalty and Hearts Praise.
Our people must be CRISIS
people!
When confronted by the
Unswitchables, men must turn
to the left or the to the right.
There is No Neutrality, No
middle ground. All men are
either IN CHRIST or Out of
CHRIST - Lost or Saved, on
their way to eternal punishment
or unending Bliss!
It is that PROFOUND. It is that
SIMPLE. There is No Room
for GREY.
Is any message here
more important? The prom
ise of “peace on earth”
touches people’s deepest
desires.
In a time when there is
so much turbulence and
uncertainty, especially in the
Middle East, our message of
hope is a lifeline that lifts the
heart and can save the soul.
But to make it happen, we
need your help. The Word of
God says “to come into the
unity of our Lord...
Some plant, some water, but
God gives the increase... and
we are happy to say that He
has increased this outreach to
101,693 souls in these past
years, only 3 weeks a year as
led. Hebrews 6:10 says
“For God is not unrighteous
to forget your work and
labour of love, which ye have
showed toward His name, in
that ye have ministered to the
saints, and do minister.”
God is calling us to
unity. He is calling us to lay
down our disagreements, our
prejudices, our judgments
and to come together as one
in the Body of Christ in
preparation for our Lord’s
return - The Time IS Now!!!
The Unsaved are secretly
thirsting after reality, not
external religion. They want
real life illustrations and
answers not technical theo
logical abstractions and theo
ries. When dealing with the
lost, we must mean what we
say and live it! Then they can
see Jesus in you!
Give them a God who
can fill their lives, not in the
sweet by and by, but in the
nasty here and now!

Rachel Thomas
