THE WORD OF THE LORD WAS
PRECIOUS IN THOSE DAYS

Jesus Christ can improve man and only if one is properly


in Christ.
The Believer properly in Christ is the only answer
for self. Only then can man be properly improved. If one
tries to depend on ones works or efforts, all that will be
produced is pride and self-righteousness.
If we truly understand that all we have gained in
Christ is because of the Cross, then man will properly see
himself for what he really is. Salvation not only comes
through the Cross, but our Sanctification comes through
the Cross as well.

WHAT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY?

If youre a preacher, it is to preach the Message of the


Cross; for the laity, it is to support those ministers that are

OVER-THE-AIR (DTV) TELEVISION
For those of you who are not familiar with digital television, these are free old fashioned TV channels that are able to
be picked up with a digital tuner and antenna. Most new televisions are equipped with built-in digital tuners or you can
purchase a tuner from your local electronics store (Best Buy, Radio Shack, etc.). As well, you can purchase the proper
antenna at your local electronics store. Many viewers under the broadcast signal of the television station can use a small,
digital antenna inside the home. For those on the outer edge of the signal or to receive the best signal, an outdoor antenna
may be required. Both indoor and outdoor antennas are available for less than $50!

to this truth, the evidence of this action being correct is
clearly seen in our lives.

THE RESULTS

The results of abiding is Fruit. As we continually


believe in Who Christ is and what He has done for us
(Christ and Him Crucified) our lives begin to change. The
life-giving nutrients that reside in the vine find an open
pathway by which the branch is nourished. The Father,
seeing Fruit evidenced, aids in the process by purging
the branch. He cuts away the things unwanted so that
the things desired are far more prevalent and obvious.
So, where is your faith today? Is it in Christ Crucified as
it was on the day you received Salvation? Or have you
misunderstood the command to abide and made it a
work, an effort, a labor? Repent of trusting in yourself
and turn holistically to Faith in Christ and His Cross.
Remember that our responsibility is one of Faith. It
wont be easy, and some fruit will take a long time to
develop. Just remember what abiding truly means and
how it is accomplished. For Jesus said in John 15:5, I
Am the Vine, you are the branches: he who abides
in Me, and I in him, the same brings forth much
fruit: for without Me you can do nothing.

of Faith. Our simple Faith in Christ, who He is and what
He did for us is what granted us access to Gods Grace in
the first place. Therefore, to abide in Christ one should Loren Larson
be exhorted to maintain and mature in the Faith that President
was present the moment you got Saved. The Object
of Faith was and is the key. When you came to Christ
Jesus you had to stop trusting in anything you did and
had to rely totally upon His Finished Work in order to be
acceptable to God. You had to relinquish all faith in self
(deny self) and rely exclusively upon Christ. Thats how
the supernatural event of Salvation occurred. Now, as a
Believer, you must maintain that simple Faith in Christ.
As you do, the maturing process begins and is carried
out. For the branch to stay connected to the vine

Right here in America a recent development began


in 2001 with an Executive Order by President George
W. Bush. He created the White House Office of Faith-
Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, formerly the
White House Office of Faith-Based and Community
Initiatives (OFBCI). The initiative sought to strengthen
faith-based and community organizations and expand
their capacity to provide federally-funded social ser-
vices, with the idea having been that these groups were
well-situated to meet the needs of local individuals.
Many organizations leaped to join forces with the Gov-
ernment to draw from its financial well. In so doing
many had to take the initial step towards compromise.

and it concerns the Great Women of the Old Testament. The Great Women of the New Testament, which is to be the
