Truth is Truth
Joshua 11:7-15
As the Lord commanded Moses His servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so did Joshua do everything; he left nothing undone of all that the Lord commanded Moses.  Did you get that?  Do you see the flow?  God gives a commandment to Moses.  Moses, in turn, passes the commandment on to Joshua.  And Joshua obeys.  Is he obeying Moses or God?  He is obeying God.  What God said to Moses is still valid for Joshua.  God’s command to Moses requires Joshua’s obedient response.  The commandment doesn’t change as it passes from one generation to the next.
But it simply amazes me how many times I hear believers say, “Well, that verse may mean that to you, but it doesn’t mean that to me.”  Really?  “Yes, you’re just one of those fundamentalist who takes the Bible literally.  I’m more of an intellectual.”  I see.  Let me tell you this: If you and I are looking at the same Bible verses and coming up with two different meanings, one of us is wrong.  And we’d better figure out quick which one of us it is.

What is Salvation?

Do you realize that God loves you as you are, not only as you should be?  That is right, God wants to have a personal relationship with you so much, that He sent His son to die for you!  WHY?  The reason God sent His Son to earth to live, suffer and die for you, was to pay the penalty for the sin in your life that separates you from His love. 

*John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that He sent His only begotten Son, that whoever believes on Him, shall not perish, but have eternal life.
*Romans 5:8 “when we were in our sin, Christ Jesus came to die for us”
*Romans 3:23 “for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God”
*Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the FREE gift of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
*Romans 10:9-10 “that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved”

Do you want to receive the Christ right now as your personal Savior?  Do you want to know for a fact that one day you will spend eternity with Him in heaven?  Then pray this prayer!

Dear Jesus,
I confess I am a sinner and I realize I need a Savior.  I believe by faith that You came to earth to die on the cross for my sin.  I believe You rose from the grave to live as my Lord.  I turn from my sin and ask you, Lord Jesus, to forgive me and come into my heart.  I trust you as Savior today.  Thank you Jesus for saving me!

The Schnaidt's - Moscow, Russia Steve and Kathy both grew up in church-going families but truly dedicated their lives to Christ in college. God changed their lives personally and gave them a desire to use their gifts and talents to help others know Him too. After college they became missionaries to college students on U.S. campuses. When the opportunity came for long-term service, both Steve and Kathy answered God's call. It was there that they met and served three years in the Philippines. From there they served in South Korea and back to the United States to continue work on the JESUS Film Project. God then called them to teach and administrate a two-year Bible College in Moscow, Russia. They worked with the Bible College for eleven years to prepare Russian believers to become pastors, church planters, missionaries, elders and lay leaders in new and existing churches. After training local Russian Christian leaders to fulfill their roles and responsibilities at the Bible College, God provided an opportunity to minister among Russians and expatriates within the business, professional, military and diplomatic community. Their goal is to lead Russians and people of all nationalities to a saving knowledge of Christ and to train them to become multiplying disciples of Christ locally and around the world.
