Sure Hope Gazette

Hi guys. we were recently encouraged during these challenging times to always hang on tight to the Rock of our Salvation. A dear friend sent us these Scriptures as a reminder. Dear Lord please encourage all who read Your Word and help us all to remember always to hold on to You. Help us not to worry, but to rest, knowing Your Word reassures us that we have no reason to fear or worry. For anyone reading this post, searching for the meaning of life and Sure Hope, please stir their hearts and draw them to You Lord Jesus. Help them to know that being a Christian is a relationship with Jesus and not following a religion. They Jesus loves everyone, inspire of what we may feel. Thank You Father for your love and forgiveness. Please bless all who read Your Word, helping them wherever they need help. We love you Lord. In Jesus' Name I pray, Amen [ Jhn 16:33 NLT ] 33 I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart...

[Jhn 1:14 NLT] 14 So the Word became human and made His home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father's one and only Son.

Translation Matters? Have you ever cared about what Bible translation you read? When I first became a Christian I never even knew there were over two hundred Bible translations. My first Bible was what I later learned is called a "paraphrase," called the Good News version. Easy to understand and it even had simple illustrations. It was a gift from my dear Grandma when I turned thirteen. At the time, I was foolishly  Grade 12 Graduation and my dear Grandma - 1984   disappointed that I got a Bible for my birthday.  At thirteen, narcissistic was me! Uninterested in the meaning of life that year, busy trying to be cool, a tad narcissistic, busy smoking in the school yard, wearing my first pair of "La Cullotier" jeans, over plucking my eye brows, and using my trusty, handy dandy tape recorder, to record the 580 CKPR  top ten countdown, oh yes, and writing, "Anita loves Allan" on every surface I could find. Ashamedly, I ignored the precious gift of l...

Attending Church Makes Us A Christian? How many associate Christianity with church attendance? Probably most of us would concur, that attending church has nothing to do with qualifying to be a Christian. In fact, when I first became a Christian about twenty five years ago, for a short time, with great cockiness, I vowed that I didn't need to attend church to prove I had become a Christian. However, conviction came upon my heart and before I knew it, I had to find a Bible believing Christian church. Had I learned that attending church proved my faith? No, not at all, it is only by believing in Jesus Christ and what He did for us all, that qualifies us a Christian. There are absolutely, no works we can perform, attending church included, that can give us new life and save our eternal souls. Then why did the Holy Spirit convict my heart and cause me to find a church? What is church all about? I Don't Need Church...Or Do I? At the time I didn't know any of this, I jus...

The Emerging Church - Christianity - Post Moderism Emerging Church - Road to Rome Emerging Church - Road To One World Religion God Wins

Derek Prince is no longer on this earth, but his teachings live on in the form of video presentations, audio and the written word. We have listened to many of his Biblical based teachings and affirm that he is definitely gifted by God to present various topics such as this one. Of course he and we as well, would tell all believers to pray and seek God's Word for all Truth. Don't follow any person. Never put a pastor or Bible teacher on a pedestal. Meaning, don't just listen to the teachings without Jesus Christ as your Head. This video is excellent and expounds in great detail about our unseen battle in the spiritual realm. A battle that rages on 24/7. It can be easy to be bothered by what and who we see, but important to remember always:  Eph 6:11-13 NKJV - Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.  For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the d...
