THE REAL R.E.D. Alert

….Saint of Christ, are you in God’s Word richly and daily, being reminded of His blessed truths? (Colossians 3:16; Acts 2:42) If so, then you are to be putting His children in remembrance of these truths as we look together for His soon return. When we do this, we are considered “a good minister of Jesus Christ.”

“If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.” 1 Timothy 4:6

Where to Look

Jesus told us to “look up, and lift up your heads” when we see the signs of the end which indicates His soon return.

“And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.” Luke 21:28  (have you memorized this verse yet?)

Instead of being overly preoccupied with the signs and Satan’s agents that Christ told us would be evident just before His return, we should be all the more seeking the face of the LORD, edifying, nourishing, and teaching His beloved body and also making Jesus known to the lost.

“But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.” Hebrews 3:13

“And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.” Hebrews 10:24-25

R.E.D. Alert – “Reading, to Exhortation, to Doctrine”

“Till I come, give attendance to READING, to EXHORTATION, to DOCTRINE. … Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.” 1 Timothy 4:13, 16

  • “Reading” – we need more Bible reading.
  • “Exhortation” – we need more exhorting and daily encouraging, among the body of Christ.
  • “Doctrine” –- our whole belief system, eternity, and lifestyle is based and contingent upon embracing sound biblical truth/doctrine. To underscore the importance placed upon correct doctrine, it is interesting to observe that the word “doctrine” appears 51 times in God’s Word.

Scarcely do we find a “Christian” leader today who is getting people into God’s Word for themselves. Let me go on record to say right here that any man in leadership who is not doing everything he can to get his hearers into God’s Word for themselves, is failing and is misleading those he speaks to – perhaps wanting them to “need” him and have to patronize his ministry (come back often to hear his message).

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, told us to “study” to show our own selves approved of God and any leader not following this pattern – of getting people into God’s Word for themselves – is a false leader (2 Timothy 2:15).

“Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.” 1 Chronicles 16:11

Look to Jesus beloved, not mere men (Hebrews 12:1-3). Don’t worry in undue fear about the signs of this last hour which includes the epidemic of false leaders. Continue to “seek the LORD and his strength” and “seek his face continually,” in “reading, “exhortation,” and “doctrine” and you will be sound in doctrine, mind, heart, and “shall be quiet from fear of evil.” (1 Timothy 4:13; Proverbs 1:33).

Loving the LORD and His Body by Exhorting them Daily

Instead of unduly looking fearfully for some red army coming from the east, we should choose to obey Christ and cultivate, nourish, and edify His beloved saints in this late hour. This is the biblical R.E.D. alert we need, not worrying about some red Communist army (China, etc.). Many who are preoccupied with the signs instead of the Savior, are going to miss out like the five foolish virgins of Christ’s parable in Matthew 25:1-3. Those five foolish virgins were shut out of the kingdom due to malnourishment – which was/is due to neglecting true, intimate, abiding fellowship with Christ, our Bridegroom.

Yes we should observe the signs and yet not be so engrossed in the signs as to waste the opportunity to obey Christ in doing the Great Commission He sent us to do – for which we shall give account.

Are you nourishing your heart daily in God’s Word?

Who will you build up in Christ today?

“Comfort One Another with THESE Words”

“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18

Mission Mexico Part 26

Our LORD is Changing Lives here in Mexico

Last week our brother in Christ Vicente had a financial need and you met that need for Vicente and his family.

I brought him the money and he was… absolutely elated. He had been telling me about this pretty serious need for a few weeks. Finally I brought him the money he needed. God is able amen saints.

Update: Vicente update: I ran into our brother Vicente this morning and he was ministering to some men who were a work crew right outside of his restaurant on the street. I quickly handed him about 40 JESUS tracts and he began passing them to the men. Going to be supplying Vicente with more of the JESUS tract in Spanish soon.

Our brother is super overjoyed for the help he received to get his family vehicle repaired.

Jesus is God.
He’s coming.


More on the ministry to the Spanish speaking peoples of our LORD’s world! In the fellowship with the Florida group, a dear lady named Hilda repented and received Christ. Thank you for thanking our LORD for saving her and for His perfect will to be done in Hilda’s life. Phil 1:6



Excellent fruitful ministry time with Alex today. He’s also been sent the Born Again book in Spanish (PDF). Would you like to pause and ask God to bless, to save this man? (Ps 2:8; Acts 3:26)

“Matthew 5:3! No one wants to be in a humble state of submission in America. Even the so-called Christians! And be needy and weak. Like a little child. They pride themselves on all they can do. And why do I need God I can do it myself! This is why I love hearing testimonies of the people of Mexico who are poor in spirit, meek and humble! Without this you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.” Karen Cochran



Thank you for lifting in prayer the Mexican people – that many more will be saved and established in Christ (1 Timothy 2:4).

WHY IS THE KING JAMES VERSION CALLED THE “AUTHORIZED VERSION”?

Excerpt from “Answers To Your Bible Version Questions”

Question: Why is the King James Bible called the “Authorized Version”? How did King James Authorize it?

Answer: Despite stories to the contrary, King James, in no uncertain terms, clearly authorized the translation of the Bible that now bears his name.

[Note: This is a drastically shortened account of the birth of God’s preserved words in English. Longer accounts are available, as in Final Authority: A Christian’s Guide to the King James Bible, by William P. Grady.]

Sanctioning the Authorized Version

When Elizabeth died on April 1, 1603, she had seen 130 editions of the New Testament and the Bible published during her 45 years as Queen of England. James VI of Scotland, son of Mary, “Queen of Scots,” became James I of England.

Four days later, on his way to London, a delegation of Puritan ministers met James, asking him to hear their grievances against the Church of England. James consented, and on January of 1604, four Puritans came to express their troubles at Hampton Court, in front of King James and over 50 Anglican (Church of England) officials. One by one each request was rejected, until the Puritan group’s leader, John Rainolds said these famous words:

“May your Majesty be pleased to direct that the Bible be now translated, [since] such versions as are extant [are] not answering to the original.”

At first, Bishop Bancroft of London was dead-set against it, saying, “If every man’s humor might be followed, there would be no end to translating.” But the King made it clear he liked the idea. Not too long later Bancroft wrote this to a friend:

I move you in his majesty’s name that, … no time may be overstepped by you for the better furtherance of this holy work…. You will scarcely conceive how earnest his majesty is to have this work begun!

When this Bible was translated, the title page was printed basically as you find it today in Cambridge Bibles:

THE
HOLY BIBLE
CONTAINING THE
OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS
TRANSLATED OUT OF THE ORIGINAL TONGUES:
AND WITH THE FORMER TRANSLATIONS
DILIGENTLY COMPARED AND REVISED
BY HIS MAJESTY’S SPECIAL COMMAND
 

APPOINTED TO BE READ IN CHURCHES

The King James Bible was “Authorized” to be translated as God’s Word for the English-speaking people of the world. God bless you as you study His authorized and preserved words in English, the King James Bible.
