Greetings, fellow members of the body of Christ.
We are ahead of our time. I love how this series of ZenderTalks begins. The things we believe today are going to be very popular someday. This is just not that day. But take courage that we are on the cutting edge of revelation.
Another great point: Christ is our Savior, not our
substitute. He did not die "in our place," as Christianity has told us. A drowning man does not need someone to drown in his place. He needs someone who is not in his predicament to pull him out. This is what Christ does and did for us. He died FOR us, not INSTEAD of us.
In the second show, we learn that Paul, like us, is frustrated with his brethren according to flesh. Yes, the Israel-types. For us, it's the Christians. But don't worry: Christians will not always be
Christians. Some day down the road they, too, will understand the glories of Christ, in which case they will have to change their name from "Christian" to something far less offensive.
Yes, the world gets worse and worse, but the Word of God has not lapsed. Time goes by, the a thousand years is as a day to God. So don't worry; He's on it. And don't forget this important point: that ANYONE believes today is not only a miracle, but a clue that God will eventually bring all into
salvation. It's the law of the Firstfruit.
As always, Rodney Paris closes this offering with an MZTV classic, this one from October 15, 2018, called, "God Confirms Our Calling, Not Us." You will love this video or your money will be promptly refunded.
I love you all. You have and you do make this outreach of the evangel possible. You keep the work progressing and you refresh the worker. I am a weary soldier, friends. But don't worry. Earthly fatigue will not
stop me from broadcasting and writing about the truth, because the spirit of God makes its home in me.
Thank you for your prayers and well-wishes since my cancer surgery. I am getting better by the day, though not as fast as I would like. Ah---but all operates on God's timetable and not mine. Otherwise I'd be at the right hand of God right now instead of in Fort Lauderdale.
Until then, grace and peace to you from the edge of the bottom of the Floridan
peninsula,
Martin
