GOD'S WORD IS LIKE A FIRE
Jeremiah 5:14 (NASB) says “Therefore, thus says the Lord, the God of hosts, because you have spoken this word, behold, I am making My words in your mouth fire, and this people wood, and it will consume them.”
GOD'S WORD IS LIKE A SWORD
On June 28, 1870, an act of Congress declared December 25thto be a national holiday called Christmas to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.
Without Jesus, there would be no reason to celebrate December 25thas a national holiday. Jesus was and still is God's Gift offered to all.
Christmas was originally supposed to be a day off from work to celebrate the birth of Jesus, attend church services, exchange Christmas cards, sing Christmas carols, view the baby Jesus in the manger, and wish everyone a Merry Christmas.
Christmas is not our birthday – it's the birthday of Jesus. If you are a born-again Christian, you have already received the greatest gift – Christ living in your heart.
But, greedy merchants have successfully turned Christmas into nothing more than a day of extravagant exchanges of gifts to greatly increase their profits. Now, many are offended if they don't personally receive lots of expensive gifts. And, many feel pressured to buy gifts they can't afford often for people they may not even like. Many others receive gifts they don't even want or need and can't wait until the next shopping day so they can exchange them. How ridiculous is that!
And now, because of Political Correctness and an attempt to not offend anyone, our government is discouraging us from saying Merry Christmas, singing Christmas carols on the streets or in our public schools, displaying the baby Jesus in the Manger, and step-by-step removing God, the Bible, Crosses and Christian Statues from every facet of our society. For all practical purposes, the original meaning of Christmas has almost completely disappeared in America. Shame on them – God Cannot Be Pleased!
We believe that everyone has the right to believe in the true meaning of Christmas or not to believe. That is our individual privilege. So, if you don't want to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas, don't. We won't be upset with you. But, don't try to hinder us from doing so.
We and the entire Christian Community are very offended that, because of just a few, Christmas is no longer being celebrated as the holiday it was originally intended to be.
If this is truly the case, then December 25th(Christmas) should be abolished as a national holiday and all of our politicians, other government officials, and those who do not believe in the true meaning of Christmas, if December 25thdoesn't fall on Saturday or Sunday, should consider this as just another work day, go to work, and get something meaningful done that benefits all of us and not just a few!
Regardless of what happens, we and our house will continue to thank God for His greatest gift – Jesus – who is the real reason for the season and say Merry Christmas every chance we get.
Finally, if you feel led to share this, please do.
Peace, Blessings And Merry Christmas To All,
Bill and Teddy Rogers
Note: This is a true story that helps us understand that things happen for a reason. Submitted by Pastor Rob Reid who says God does work in mysterious ways.
A BEAUTIFUL STORY
The brand new pastor and his wife, newly assigned to their first ministry, to reopen a church in suburban Brooklyn, arrived in early October excited about their opportunity.
When they saw their church, it was very run down and needed much work. They set a goal to have everything done in time to have their first service on Christmas eve.
Note: We received the following in an email and thought it presented “A Message On Healing” so well that we want to share it with you. Unfortunately, the author is unknown. It's a fairly long read but well worth your time and effort.
When I was a child my parents purchased a home from my grandparents. It was the home my Dad grew up in, so it was obviously an older home that was very well established. In other words, it had been built onto repeatedly over the years and it seemed like every square inch of the lot had been developed in one way or another.

Of all the gift-giving options you have, there is one that can make a tremendously positive impact on someone who needs a reason to hope - and that is the priceless gift of your time.
Time cannot be bought because it is not for sale, but it is something you have right now that is more precious than gold or silver.

Over generations, because of lack of knowledge or the ability to read, people have been falsely led into believing that there are many ways to heaven.
We are publishing this post to expose these 7 myths (lies from the devil).
THE 7 MYTHS
Being a member in good standing of the right church, denomination, or religion will get you into heaven. FALSE!
The Bible records for us the beginning of the world and the end of the world and tells the story of mankind from the beginning to the end.
In the pages of the Bible, you will find information about mankind's fall into sin, the redemption and God's ultimate victory over evil.
FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE END

The Bible devotes much more space to convincing people that eternal life is available as a free gift from God than it does to describing eternity.
The Bible's brief descriptions of eternity are more like hints since they use terms and ideas from our present experience to describe what we will not fully grasp until we are there ourselves. The following references hint at aspects of what our future will be like if we have accepted Christ's gift of eternal life.

The world system, through false doctrine and false teaching, would like us to believe that there are many ways to get to Heaven.
Its many false teachers and preachers would like us to believe that:
If we are good enough;
If we do enough good works;
If we give enough to the right causes;
If we practice the right religion, Or
If we belong to the right church;
God will open up the doors of Heaven and let us in.

Satan (the Devil) has begun to step up his persecution because he knows that his time is short. We are living in the last days and Satan' s work has become more intense.
Even though he is very powerful, as we can see by the condition of the world, he is always under God's control.

Scattered among the very graphic images of the Book Of Revelation is a collection of 26 names for Jesus. Each name tells something of His character and highlights a particular aspect of His role within God's Plan of Redemption.
Listed below are the 26 names and their scripture references:
1. THE FIRSTBORN FROM THE DEAD: Revelation 1:5 (NIV) says “and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood,”
2. THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA: Revelation 1:8 (NIV) says “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.”
In October of 2014, we felt the Lord was calling us to build and publish a new website and blog to lift up the name of Jesus and provide Bible Based Information to help people all around the world receive salvation plus encouragement, love, hope, joy, and peace.
As we are not technicians, we spent the entire months of November and December researching how to build and publish a website. In January, we began to put all the pieces together and finally published our new website www.primelifeministries.com on the 2nd of February, 2015.
We expected some good results but what we've gotten has far exceeded our wildest expectations. Isn't that just like the Lord!
LOOK WHAT THE LORD HAS DONE!
As of today – 09/28/2015, www.primelifeministries.com has had 507,216 Pageviews from people in 130 different countries including 25 Muslim Majority countries. Praise The Lord - we give God all the glory!

Are you feeling alone? Would you like someone to walk with you? If you become God's son or daughter, you will never be alone because God will be with you every step of the way.
SCRIPTURE VERSES
Deuteronomy 31:8 (NIV) says “The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”
Joshua 1:5 (NIV) says “No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
“Because He Lives I Can Face Tomorrow” is a beautiful gospel hymn written by Bill and Gloria Gaither in the Spring of 1970.
The 1960's was an era that was confusing and disorderly with a quantum shift in values that was deeply disturbing to Bill and Gloria. They had begun to wonder if God hadn’t given up on the world.
THE FOLLOWING ISSUES WERE REALLY BOTHERING THEM:
God Has Many Blessings For Those Who Accept His Free Gift Of Salvation.
7 MAJOR BLESSINGS
1. God Can Make You A Brand New Person.
2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV) says “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”
If you have accepted God's Free Gift Of Salvation, you are a brand new person on the inside and you are not the same anymore. You are not reformed, rehabilitated or reeducated – you are re-created (born again) living in vital union with Jesus Christ.
2. You Can Trust That God Will Always Meet Your Needs.
