1-31-23 Letter of Encouragement to All Believers

Letter of Encouragement to All Believers :: By Holly Spate Published on: July 5, 2022 by Admin10 Category:General Articles, Holly Spate Dear Brother in Christ and Dear Sister in Christ, With all that’s going on in the world today, I felt it important to pause and take a minute to write this letter of encouragement that God put on my heart. So please, take a moment to find a quiet spot to sit and read. Let this letter be a gift that reminds you how incredibly valuable you are in God’s sight and what a wonderful, perfect, loving God your heavenly Father is. My hope is that you will pass this letter along. As brothers and sisters in Christ, we need to encourage and remind other believers to pause, to praise, and to remember how very much God loves His children. May our hearts share with others the only hope that can be found in this life. Dear Friend, From the beginning of time, God knew you, loved you, and had a plan and a purpose for you. God’s love for you is never-ending… always constant… never fading. It is perfect and forever. He has always been and will forever be fully committed to loving you, watching over you, and leading you. He has loved you since the beginning of time and cares deeply about every detail of your life. Nothing escapes His attention; nothing catches Him unaware. He is Omnipresent, Omnipotent, and Omniscient. He is the Alpha and Omega – the beginning and the end – Almighty God! He is strong. He is powerful. He is perfect. He is love. He is peace. He is joy. He is good. He is the Creator of all! Never believe the lie that He is far from you. He is always with you. Never believe the lie that He doesn’t care. He sees you, knows you, and deeply loves and cares about every aspect… every little detail of your life… every minute and moment… past, present, and future. You are His child, and He loves you beyond measure, beyond comprehension. His love is greater than all the love in the whole world. Nothing compares to Him. He is ever and always aware of your needs, your desires, your fears, your frustrations, your mistakes, your hopes, and your dreams. He is ever aware of your circumstances, disappointments, triumphs, and trials. He has seen your tears and heard your cries. He has celebrated your triumphs, been there to comfort you in your trials, and guided your steps. He has never ever missed a moment, not a minute or a second, of your life. He has never left you, never forgotten you, never abandoned you. He is perfect and perfectly capable of holding your life, your entire life, in His hands. His great love and great mercy compelled Him to send His one and only Son so that YOU could be forgiven, rescued, saved. His love provided you a clear path… a beautiful bridge back to Him. The price was paid for YOU. Blood was shed for YOU. Rescue came for YOU. A gift so precious, so selfless, that none other could ever compare. The ultimate gift of sacrifice and love was paid. Your debt… your entire debt – past, present, and future – was paid in full. Because of what He did, you are freed. Because of what He did, you have hope and an eternal future awaiting you… an inheritance incomparable to any other… precious beyond imagination… beautiful and forever bright. He knows you. He sees you. He cares about you. He loves you. His desire is that you confidently place your full trust in Him, allowing yourself to find rest, rejuvenation, peace, and joy. His desire is that you fully embrace Him with your heart, soul, and mind. His desire is that you do not live in regret but embrace His forgiveness for past sins and mistakes, all of which He’s forgiven as far as the east is from the west. His desire is that you embrace joy no matter your circumstance and to not live in fear no matter what is happening around you. Be strengthened in remembering that He is Almighty and is in complete control. He has always been on the throne. He will always be on the throne. He has never left, nor will He ever leave the throne. He is more powerful than anything or anyone. He is God. He is over all. He created you and knows what is best for you, even when you can’t see His plans or understand His ways, all of which are perfect because He is perfect. Rejoice! He loves you perfectly and completely. You are His! His arms are always wide open… always available to comfort you, to allow you to peacefully rest, really rest in Him. He is your Father, and He loves you beyond imagination. Run to Him. Stay close to Him. Cry out to Him. Draw near to Him. You are beautiful in His sight. You are precious in His sight. You are His creation, fashioned and formed. Trust Him. Thank Him. Praise Him. And, as you go about your day, as you journey in your life, confidently take this truth with you: Because He lives, you can face tomorrow, my friend. Because He lives, you can face anything. Have a blessed and beautiful day! spate.holly@gmail.com

9-16-23 Santa Staleness

Santa Staleness :: By Edwin Tan Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles My one and only trip to Israel had more than a profound effect on my present-day psyche. It might have been three decades ago, but there is more than a lingering aftertaste. It happened smack in the last fortnight of the year. Surprisingly absent were the familiar sights and sounds of the Christmas most people are accustomed to. Hardly any Christmas decorations in downtown Tel Aviv, if not any of the shopping thoroughfares across the Holy Land. Hanukah was a breath of fresh air – not anything resembling a Christmas carol most people grew up with did surface. The Christmas Eve service in a small Protestant church not far away from Jerusalem’s Old City was awesome; songs that truly celebrated the virgin birth of our Lord, which though seemingly unheard of, were a welcome inspiration to many a soul. There was even one sung in Arabic! So it began, my overt disdain for the secular Christmas t...

9-25-23 The Farm Chronicles: One Christmas

The Farm Chronicles: One Christmas :: By Bill Wilson Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:Bill Wilson, General Articles There are a lot of terrible things going on right now in the world. But we are at the time of the year when we, as Christians, celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. We can choose to be impacted by the world around us in its dimly lit arena, or we can choose to let our light so shine. I choose the latter. I want to tell you a little about the Christmas that I had growing up on our family farm in Ohio. I was blessed to be born into a horse and cattle farm that has been in our family for some 200 years. And Christmas, especially Christmas Eve, was a wonderful time for our family. December 24 was my Dad’s birthday. And my Dad was well-loved by his neighbors and friends, so we had a lot going on Christmas Eve. I remember one special Christmas Eve. I must have been about four years old. The night was falling, and the wind and snow were whipping across the barny...

9-15-23 Miracles 2

Miracles 2 :: By Jim Towers Published on: December 21, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles This story is a continuation of the exciting things God continues doing in my life. I was supposed to have died a while back, and sometimes I feel as though I may do so soon. But since I’m ready to meet my maker, I have no fear of death. In fact, my evangelistic zeal has only increased, especially as I see the fast approaching of the “Tribulation period” mentioned in the book of Revelation. Insofar as my acting career is concerned, I just finished filming a soliloquy featuring Melchior, one of the three Magi who followed the star to Christ lying in the manger, and am preparing to portray a Jewish Priest on stage. Like I said, God is working overtime in my life, and I will be appearing on stage singing Broadway show tunes sometime in March, so I have a lot of rehearsing to do. In the meantime, I will be signing Christmas carols acapella at a park here in Naples. Since it is a spontaneous th...
