WORD of FAITH Christian Center (wofcc.us)

The WORLD is "calling"!

Each and almost every day I am receiving new requests from ministers and ministries "out there" who are asking us to come and minister. Many ask me to pastor them, and want to be "under our covering" as a church!

These folks who are asking me to pastor them are not just church members folks, these are pastors! Many of these pastors have two and three churches they are pastoring at the same time! Imagine that! The time of Jesus' return is here ... it is fast approaching us!

The calling that was prophecied over me just a few years back is upon us, folks! It's time for preparation ... for overseas travel, for worldwide ministry, and to be ready to answer the call! We plan to be prepared for reaching out to these young men and women of God who are anxiously wanting someone to come and help them ... someone they can go to when they need spiritual fatherly advice for their ministry! Pray!

The Principle Thing

Jesus said in Matthew chapter 28, and in Mark chapter 16, for us to "go into all the world" and to "preach the gospel" to all the world, to all creation. That is not a good idea. It's not a pleasant thought. It is a "command"!

Jesus "commanded" us to GO! and that is not an option for us, as Believer's in the Lord Jesus Christ! We "must" be obedient to the Lord's command.

In John, chapter 15, verse 14, "You are MY friends if you do what I command you." is the attitude Jesus had on teaching His disciples. In other words, if you are "with Me", then you will do, and are doing, what I have commanded you.

Here in America we have become lax in reference to things like "obedience", or "duty". Words like "honor" and "character" have little or no meaning to today's society. Oh we get upset when someone would dare to mention the matter like I just did, but the fact is, we just "don't get it"!

Honor, and character, are things that do not come "fast food" as we are used to receiving things. "Yes", today we think that things come like "fast food" - we order it - it comes! Honor and character are facets of your life that, like living plants, require "time" - time to develop, to grow, and to become an integral, irremovable part of your life!

A few months back I found a book, for sale, in a grocery store. There were lots of books there for sale. many with big price tags. There was this one book sitting there that caught my eye, though. It is this one book, and its message, of which I want to share with you today.. It was entitled, "Character Counts". Do you want to know what it was going for? Twenty-five cents! That's it! The message behind it all was so obvious I just had to buy the book! I even left the price tag on it.

Imagine that! Character is now so little valued that this book was the lowest priced book on the entire table! You know, prophets catch that sort of thing, though. It's not just a cheaply priced book to us, but an extremely low regard for "character". That is what a prophet sees. .

What does this have to do with Jesus' command to us? Well, "character" is what drives a man to take it all the way, to follow-through with directives. It is "character" that will keep you, when the timing and opportunity places you in the right setting for "your moment".

Character is what defines the worth of a man, or woman, and "character" is the foundation upon which "honor" is built. Honor is the principle thing that causes you to be "obedient" to the command of your Lord ... and it is "honor" that brings the words we will all want to hear, "Well done, thou good and 'faithful' servant." when at last we return from our "assignment", here, in the Earth.

We're the same ...
WORD CHURCH ...

but we have ...
"a New Name"!

We are tweaking our image, our logos, and our fonts, but we're still the same "Word Church" ... just better, more committed, and pressing on with Jesus! Same Jesus, same uncompromising message, same "word-based" doctrine, just a new look, a new name, and we're "going public"!

I want folks to be challenged, encouraged, and excited about serving Him! The name "Word Church" makes it clear - we're basing what we say, what we do, and where we are going ... on the Word of God, but "faith" is the key element to that "word" in WORKING IT in your life!

For that reason, we here at WORD CHURCH, are making the changes, the upgrades, the 'public image' changes, and we're staying "solid" in THE WORD! We're also changing our name ... so the folks out there know where to go to learn more about "faith"! We're changing our name to include that "key element" that one needs to see the word work in thier lives - "faith". We are now "WORD of FAITH Christian Center"!

The old website URL will continue to work ... (WordChurch.info) and we've added "WordChurch.us" to that to make things even simpler, but our new website is now "online"! Check out our new site and our new "look"! Our new primary website address will be: wofcc.us ... .. http://www.wofcc.us

Let me leave you with this closing thought ... we're pressing on to follow God with His plans and changes for this ministry, so that we may finish the word that He has for us to do. "Life" is about change. Think about that.

Here's something I want to ask you?
Are you ready for change in your life?

Welcome home!

Come join us for fellowship!

Come visit and let's sit down and get to know one another ...

Starting in January, 2008, we are going to be having regular monthly meetings instead of our weekly Wednesday night meetings. These will allow folks who are affiliates with our ministry to attend that are active members in other churches.

We will have a song service, the ministry of the word, and fellowship afterwards. These will be similar to "seminars", allowing some of our affiliates who play an important part in our ministry a chance to minister as well. The fellowship will be a chance for us to pray for one another and to lift up our fellow ministers in the ministries that they are called to serve in.

Look for these upcoming meetings in our "online calendar" above. If you have any additional questions, or you feel the Lord is dealing with you to be a part of the WORD of FAITH Christian Center, please contact pastor Rich or Jane ...
