NEWS FROM BROTHERS & SISTERS

Son? God would never like to divorce us, but we are, in effect, divorcing ourselves from Jesus in deeds and works if we sin. Isaiah 54:6; 1 Cor. 7:10: The command we are given, "A wife must not separate from her husband." If we separate ourselves from God or Jesus, where will we be when Jesus comes to establish his Kingdom here on earth? Will we be in everlasting life, or everlasting death? Let us select the good.

I thank the Almighty God for yet another milestone you have embarked on after the publication of `Gospel News', the New Testament Bible and now the complete Bible, all in all for one purpose of spreading the gospel unto the uttermost parts of the world. It gives me great joy to know that out there are brethren who think of others before themselves. Most of us the world over are living under very pathetic conditions and as one family we can contribute

A FLORIDA COURT SETS ATHEIST HOLY DAY

In Florida, an atheist created a case against Easter and Passover Holy days. He hired an attorney to bring a discrimination case against Christians and Jews and observances of their holy days. The argument was that it was unfair that atheists had no such recognized days.

The case was brought before a judge. After listening to the passionate presentation by the lawyer, the judge banged his gavel declaring, "Case dismissed!"

The lawyer immediately stood and objecting to the ruling saying, "Your honor, How can you possibly dismiss this case? The Christians have Christmas, Easter and others. The Jews have Passover, Yom Kippur and Hanukkah, yet my client and all other atheists have no such holidays..."

The judge leaned forward in his chair saying, "But you do. Your client, counselor, is woefully ignorant." The lawyer said," Your Honor, we are unaware of any special observance or holiday for atheists." The judge said, "The calendar says April 1st is April Fool's Day. Psalm 14:1 states, 'The fool says in his heart, there is no God.'

Thus, it is the opinion of this court, that, if your client says there is no God, then he is a fool. Therefore, April 1st is his day. Court is adjourned..."

You gotta love a Judge that knows his scripture

to this work through prayers. The harvest is plentiful but the labourers are few, but it is only God who provides upon our request.

My brothers you are not alone in the field, let us keep on journeying together. From time immemorial God is calling for mankind to repent. As we wait for the return of our Master we must be doing his job, resources may limit but it is not a barrier. We need to study the Word of God so much that we may not be destroyed for lack of knowledge.

I am the secretary for this ecclesia and I request you to send me five Bibles for our students on the 40 lesson Bible course. I have gone through some chapters of the NEV Bible and its English is simple to read and understand. It is my prayer, if our Lord delays his return, that we may request the same Bible to be printed in our own languages for the benefit of our folk who are unable to read English.
