| I would like to thank all that dropped by since I last posted. It seems that few stop by any more, but I shall still preach the word of God to whom ever will listen. It is for the love of Christ that I do this blog for He first loved me. I was lost in my sin but Jesus took me in. Why? A mixed up, messed up 19 year old. Why did He care, while I was yet lost; He died for me? The same reason He died for you. Love! Not the love Hollywood portrays for this kind of love is "Eros" in the Greek. This is where we get our root word Erotic! This we all know all to well. It also is never mentioned in the Bible! But there are two other words that are they are "Philos, and Agape." Philos is where we get the root wood "Philadelphia" Or Brotherly love. When Jesus would speak about love He word use "Agape" love, or Divine love. This love is foreign to us. We can not understand this concept of love. His love that would take Him to the cross. You see Jesus could have called legions of angels to free Him from this fate but for that kind of love for you and me He stayed on the cross. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting live." (John 3:16). For God with that so-kind of love, gave Jesus as us for us. This is the message to all the world. THE GOSPEL! The Good News. We are reconciled to God through The Love of Christ. Please accept this free love Gift from God to you. Pray with me. Heavenly Father; I am a sinner. Forgive me of my sins. Come into my heart and be Lord of my life. I do repent and turn from my sins, and do believe you raised Jesus from the dead. Thank you for my Salvation. In Jesus name; Amen. If you prayed this prayer with me get into the the Bible, and learn about our Lord and His plan for your life. Find a Bible Preaching/Teaching Church and get into it.

| I would like to thank everyone that have stopped by. I started out with this title because I truly do believe this. I know I have covered this topic in detail, but I feel the hour is far spent, and the time is critical. If you want to know how late it is just get a Bible. Look in Matthew 24; Mark 13; Luke 17:26-30; 21:8-36; 2 Timothy 3:1-7; 2 Peter 3:3-10, then watch the news. Everything is in place. Waiting for the Harpazo, "Greek", Rapio, "Latin", Rapture of the Church, "English". This is the Great catching away. 1 Thessalonians 4:17. I am not here to condemn anyone. I am here to preach the Gospel of Christ to a lost and dying world. To preach Hope to the hopeless, Deliverance to the captive, Healing to the sick. Jesus is Right for what is Wrong in you life. You have to just believe. Believe in the work He did on Calvary. Died for your sins. Believe God raised Him from the dead, (Romans 10:9), and ascended into heaven and now seats at the right hand of God making intercession for you and me, and is soon coming back. If you are not ready to meet the Lord; please pray with me. "Heavenly Father: Forgive me of my sin for I am a sinner. Come into my heart and life and be Lord. I do repent and turn from my ways of sin. I do believe in my heart that you raised Jesus from the dead. Thank you for my Salvation. In Jesus name; Amen. If you prayed with me, tell someone. Tell us here on this site or at nowintotheword@aol.com, and get into a Bible believing, preaching Church. You are invited to my Sister's website at www.marlenepelt.com, and listen to the finest Southern Gospel Music on the internet at www.thegospelstation.com, www.klln.us, www.kwxt1490am.com.

| Thank all of you that pray for us. We plan to teach the same things we have in the past. Jesus coming is emanate! We need to proclaim it everywhere. Today I would like to talk about the love of God. The love of God is far greater than we can understand. John 3:16 says "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish but have everlasting life." It is this "So" kind of love that kept Jesus on the Cross. What kind of love is this kind of love? In the Greek there are three words for love. Eros, where we get the root word erotic, we all know what this means, and is never used in the Word of God. Phileo, which means "To be a friend, or have an affection as a friend. Then we have The love of our text "Agapao, meaning to love sacrificially." This verse spells it all from creation to salvation. Lets break it down. "For God" is a definitive statement that is found throughout the Bible.. In Genesis 1:1 it tells us "In the beginning God." Exodus 3:14 tells us "And God said unto Moses,I Am THAT I AM." David said in Psalm 23 "The Lord Is my Shepherd." These are but a few of the definitive statements of God in the Word. The next words are "So Loved." The "Agapao" love that sent Jesus to the Cross to pay for our sins. This sacrifice is captured in the next lines. "That He gave His only begotten Son, that Whosoever". You my friend are a "Whosoever." The sacrificial love Jesus showed us at Calvary, allows us not to perish, "If" we believe in the name of the only begotten Son of God. If you are not ready for the return of Christ, then pray with me: Heavenly Father; I am a sinner. Forgive me of my sin. Come into my heart and be Lord and Savior of my life. Thank you for your love for me. In Jesus name; Amen. If you prayed this prayer with me, let me know at nowintotheword@aol.com and I will share on how to get started in your new life.

| I am sorry that this will be the last post for me here. Because of the censorship of Xanga, and the many of strange things that are starting to happen. This is the right thing to do. I am not political, but this I did see, and am glade to pass along. I was at the hospital, were a family member had surgery. In the Waiting room there were two T.V.'s both on CNN. I was checking stock quotes when I started reading the tracker underneath the main picture. This is what it said. Quote "The reason Americans fear Obama is he is a socialist. "The New Democracy" Is SOCIALISM! This was not a quote from someone else for It repeated 10 time saying the same thing. I have been receiving messages on my machine "The Red Shirts be exalted". What ever that means I haven't a clue. It has began Church. Be strong in the Lord Jesus! Remember; Romans 10:17 "So faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." 2 Timothy 2:15 "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not be ashamed, Rightly dividing, the word of truth." Follow after Holiness, for "without it, no man shall see God." (Hebrews 12:14). Now to the lost "Ready or Not! Believe it or not! He is about Here! For the Church anyway. If your name is not written in the Lamb's book of life: You will be left here to go through the horror of the Tribulation. If you confess with your mouth, the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God hath raised Him from the dead; thou shalt be saved." (Romans 10:9). "Whosoever calleth upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13). It has been a pleasure to preach the word of God, to the World. Only God knows out of the 1000's that have stopped by, that have been saved. When you get to heaven, you will Know me. I will be the one at the feet of Jesus thanking Him for my Salvation: For He is my love of Eternity! Only Christians would know what I mean. Beloved this is the truth as God as my witness! Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might." (Ephesians 6:10). Till Eternity Bro. Cliff Stafford | | |
