OUR MISSION STATEMENT Talofa and Welcome!!! It is the purposed intent of this ministry to teach the Word of God; according to the wisdom afforded by the Almighty God of whom giveth liberally and without upbraidethness to whomever He wills; To the extent that all glory be exacted to the One and Only True Living God. As His servants, therefore, we humbly pursue our work as commanded from Matthews 28:19-20;
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Accompanying this endeavor, the Word of God must be applied as the standard for all truth declared or undeclared; 2Timothy 3:16-17
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
What good works? Good works is our labor for the kingdom. Consequently, we are moved by His Spirit to give heed to His command as it is proclaimed by one of His prophets of old; Isaiah 58:12
And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
The restoration of the paths are necessary because of the impending judgment to come against the wicked; Isaiah 13:9 and in Jeremiah 30:24
Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have done it, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it.
These are the latter days where we continue to sound the warning of that undeniable judgment day; Job 21:30
That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.
The day of judgment is when God brings His wrath on to the wicked and the unsaved of the world and that day will occur on the last day: "The Day Of The Lord", without warning; 2Peter 3:10;
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
Undeniably, no one will escape that day: Salvation is exclusively for the elect. Either we face God's wrath personally for our sins and be condemned to hell forever or Christ would have taken it upon Himself to bear it for His chosen. The invitation, however, is extended, without regard to everyone. 2Corinthians 5:10
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
But God who is abundantly merciful will provide a way for His elect; in spite of their past sinful lives; Ephesians 2:4-6
4 ¶ But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
Even so God who is faithful, fulfills His election plan from before the beginning of the world with grace abounding without merit, effort or work on their part; Romans 11:5-6;
Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
Not our works but the work of Jesus Christ on the cross that has saved us, and the elect are the beneficiary of that work. Because God gives the elect the faith to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, subsequently we would find favor with Him. Salvation is all of God's; for He changes the hearts of His elect through our witness. Isaiah 55:7
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
So that the word of God will stand and that the salvation of the elect, not all but the elect, will be completed; Isaiah 10: 21-22
The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.
For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.That is why we do our part as we are in bringing the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 10:15-16
And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
Regardless, we send out His message. Willfully, and methodically we continue unto all the world, as God does the rest; Jeremiah 51:45:
My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and deliver ye every man his soul from the fierce anger of the LORD.
It is God that delivers as He leads us to expound and teach His Word; declaring His mercies for the elect; Matthews 9:13;
But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
A chance we have if we are His. So, dedicated in spirit and truth, we submit to His methodology with obedience and reverence; Ephesians 6:5-7;
Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
He directly and succinctly prepares us for the work stating in no uncertain terms from Luke 4:24
And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.
Knowingly but encouraged, through the faith of Jesus Christ we welcome our calling as God warns of what is at hand from John 15:18-19
¶ If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
As He bestows us a humble heart to serve Him in all subserviency and obedient; keeping our focus on the task ahead, we press on; Romans 12:19-21
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
The goodness of God is beyond measure. With great emulation we convey His message declaring His exceeding grace and abundant mercy for His people that requires no work; neither sacrifice nor contribution by them; Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Boast we do not. Yet because God knows the boastful and prideful sin nature of man full of self adulations we are reasoned; Romans 3:27
Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
Again that faith from Christ is the key. In the final analysis it is God that saves according to the will of His good pleasure when it is His time; Romans 8:30,33
Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
Without question, God saves through the Lord Jesus Christ. Because salvation is limited to the house of God, His elect, therefore they also are the ones that are called to bring the Gospel in these latter times, the builders of the kingdom; Isaiah 65:22;
They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.
The Lord prepares our hearts for the task at hand as we read in Isaiah 45:13
I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD of hosts.
With limited privaledge of the result of this work but God tells of the joy in heaven when one of His sinful elect is saved from the wrath of God in hell in Luke 15:7
I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
Desiring then to serve Him only, we are reminded of our timely duty and not on the premature reward from Luke 17:7-10
But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat? And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink? Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not. So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.
To do that which we're commanded with a knowledge of our hierarchical perspective toward God and toward man is given in Matthew 22:37-40; where we are commanded:
... Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it,Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Based on this truth we're reminded of why we so apply ourselves as such; Hebrews 6:9-11
But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak. For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:
Our hope in Christ is not lessen by the privaledge to serve Him. We are subordinated by His decree for service. Notwithstanding the prombting of the Spirit to follow Christ's footsteps, persisting in faith, we are mindful of this protocol from John 13:16
Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.
Nevertheless He realizes what privaledges we're promised as we have been named the benefactors of His unmitigated election and unconditional grace. John 15:15
Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
With such responsibility with the Gospel we watch and occupy as He gives the increase Psalm 25:5
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
Patiently, we continue trusting with a renewed hope for our undeniable and timely inheritence; Isaiah 40:28-31
Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
So great is His salvation, unbefitting of any idle word that we could offer, unless the wisdom of God would enlighten us of its dark sayings; our words will be in vain. Psalm 127:1
¶ <<A Song of degrees for Solomon.>> Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
The Lord must build the house... Until the time of the end, His Gospel is preached... Matthew 24:14
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
May the grace of God extend His blessings to you according to His abundant mercies during your time with us.

WHY DO WE BOTHER TALKING ABOUT JESUS CHRIST?
That is a very fair question. After all, aren't other religions as zealous as any to talk about their prophets or figure-heads etc.? However, without the work Jesus Christ did on the cross we would all perish in hell. We see this in Isaiah 45:21
Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.
Jesus is God, the Saviour of the world. Without the Lord Jesus Christ all would perish; Believing in a God without Jesus or a God besides Jesus is futile; so we bring His message as His ambassadors. We are reminded in Isaiah 18:2
That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled!
Similarly we see in Mark 16:15
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
This is the gears that propel the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Every one that believes, God will put in their heart to obey Him. Does that mean that if I don't obey, God's salvation will not be carried out? Well, God's salvation plan will go forth with or without us: Either we are saved and be granted the desire to serve Him or we are oblivious to it until the end when it would be too late. Just as we are reminded of the account of the rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16:19-31)
19 ¶ There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.Whether we are like the rich man who is destined for hell forever in spite of his wordly riches or as Lazarus, a beggar, who has the favor of God. In either case, the finality and the irrevocability of physical death is an end that we cannot escape or return from for a second chance at salvation because Hebrew 9:27 testifies;
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
But we are encouraged because of Isaiah 59:1
Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:
Today is the day we labor to bring the Gospel as we are commanded. We could say, I will do it when I'm finished with this or that, then I will do it. The Bible reminds us when we read Matthew 10:37
He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
As we hear Him declare His mission also from Matthews 10:34
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword
Moreover we see in Luke 9:62 also;
And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
This is the urgency we see believers bring the Gospel. They feel a true sense of urgency. Who really creates this urgency? It is God through His Spirit. In Roman 8:14-16
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:How long do we bring this Gospel? Till all the elect becomes saved, then the end will come. Matthew 24:31
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Christ will not return unless all the elect given to Him by the Father is drawn to the Gospel and become saved.It is through our witnessing that God uses to draw them (those He predesined to save) unto salvation. John 6:39
And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
Amazingly, our salvation would be similar to that of the publican in the parable in Luke 18:10-14
10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.Simply stated, the prayer of the humble and the broken hearted, God will not despise. We must be broken in all humility in the sight of God and realize how devastating our sins are. We discover the inescapable consequence there is of our sins in Romans 6:23;
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Is it possible that maybe we are righteous enough somehow in His sight and therefore need no salvation? Well, we see in Roman 3:23;
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
and to make sure that we did not misunderstand Romans 6:23 we are reminded similarly of the same in Roman 5:12 also;
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
But God who is rich in mercy has prepared a way for those in whom He desires to save. Well, that too is His alone. We are reassured of His continued mercies in guaranteeing that His elect will not fall short of His grace as we witness from Psalm 10:17
LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:
Similarly we see in Ezekiel 36:25-27
¶ Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
Salvation is Gods and Gods alone. Miraculously, we see more of His mercies; saving those that He justly would for His purpose and for His glory. So we do our part as commanded; we bring this opportunity to all people of all nations kindred and tongues as a resource for revealing TRUTH. There in joy in serving the Lord when we know we are His. Our hope is in Christ through the work of the Holy Spirit: That the seed that we sow will bring forth fruit that we find in Isaiah 55:11
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
For great is our joy in heaven is for that day is coming; Luke 6:23
Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.
Joy, joy, joy, yes there is joy in heaven when salvation finally comes to one of His elect. If we call it immesurable joy it would still be an understatement. Spreading the Gospel therefore; is not who knows more or who knows little, but a means whereby believers can share the measure of faith that God gives each one: Exposing the beauty and the marvelous nature of God's salvation if we are able to see it by His mercy. If we could only know and see what is said in 1 Corinthians 2:9;
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
If we should be fortunate enough to be recipients of His salvation, how can we not want our loved ones to have it either? Are we not a keeper of our brother? Should we not love our neighbor? The Bible say we should. There is no other book in the world like it:
It is our roadmap to where we should go, an owners manual to how to maintain a Godly life: A nutrition guide as to how and what we should eat so we don't become spiritually malnutritioned: but a balanced diet of the Word; It is a business plan as how to run God's business of life and to whom all glory is due and matters relating thereto, A family guide as to how to raise families of God whereby the citizens of His kingdom are trained and raised through; a marriage reference manual for Godly marriages: a picture of what Christ did for His bride; the church, the body of believers.
But God must open our spiritual eyes to see. If we could only savor the depth and the sagacity of the Bible and the simple fulfillment we get when we are His children; O what marvelous wonder; we would never want or believe those that bring not the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We would just know; wonder how that is? It is God that reveals to us. John 6:63
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
I humbly submit therefore to try and entertain questions or comments in hope that we could help share the marvelous truths of the "Words of Life", Lord willing, through this format with the understanding that in order to find truth, God's Truth, the Bible alone and it's entirety (66 books) must be our final and only authority: As the Bible is the inerrant and infallible Word of God it is therefore absolutely dependable, trustworthy, tried and true, and can be the only source for our witness.
