Happy Resurrection Day! One of my best memories of a resurrection day is watching Annie Herring play and sing her “Easter Song” in 1978 at the California Men’s Colony chapel. I had experienced my own, personal resurrection there a few years earlier, when I was born again on May 23, 1975.

“For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.” 1

More Encouraging Responses…

My dear brother Larry from Indiana wrote: “Charles, my friend; I received your letter, and I wanted to express my appreciation that you respond faithfully.”

Happy Springtime: My sole purpose is to share the Good News of Jesus Christ, Who took our punishment for sin at the cross. His blood made peace with God, and His resurrection gave us eternal life and joy in the Holy Spirit.

“This same Good News that came to you is going out all over the world. It is bearing fruit everywhere by changing lives, just as it changed your lives from the day you first heard and understood the truth about God’s wonderful grace.” 1

A Fruitful Response…

John wrote: “Thank you for your letter. I have been reading the Gospel of John, as you suggested.”

Happy Valentine’s Day! True security is based on God’s love. It’s not an emotion, but a matter of fact, since God proved His love for us by sending His Son to die for our sins. He rose from the dead and sealed us with the Holy Spirit, regenerating our hearts. As a result, we have forgiveness, purpose and security.

“And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love.” 1

A Testimonial Response…

Jonathan wrote: “I’m doubly delighted that you wrote back. It was a divine appointment. I needed the encouragement.”

Happy New Year! I see 2023 as being the most productive year ever proclaiming God’s love, peace and joy to the world through Christ. You can be part of the ministry by sharing the site with others.

“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, accordingly to the power that works in us.” 1

A Pastor’s Response…

Pastor Brian wrote: “It just occurred to me that you have probably reached more people with the Gospel than most pastors in church buildings! I’m really proud of you.

Merry Christmas! Above all, let this Christmas be a celebration of the birth of Christ. Jesus is the Savior of the world, the sacrifice for sin, and the only source of salvation.

“For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. His government and its peace will never end. He will rule with fairness and justice from the throne of his ancestor David for all eternity.” 1

Happy Thanksgiving! Look around; many folks are worse off than you! Be thankful for the life God has given to you. Give your heart to Jesus; the best promises are yet to come!

“May you be filled with joy, always thanking the Father. He has enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to his people, who live in the light. For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins.” 1

Letters of Thanks…

I’m always blessed to hear how the site is reaching so many around the world.

Harvest time! It’s amazing how sharing God’s love brings people to Jesus. He took our punishment for sin at the cross, but beware, rejecting his blood-bought payment will end in harvest at the Great White Throne judgment.

“The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.” 1

An Unbelievable Response…

“My name is Thierry, and I live in Belgium. I am an artist, and I make websites for a living.

Happy Labor Day! Early in my Christian life, I worked hard to love God with all my heart as commanded, but I was going about it all wrong. It wasn’t until I began to realize his love for me, that my love for Him grew amazingly.

“This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins… we love each other because he loved us first.” 1

A Laboring Response…

Lea wrote from Scotland in response to my card inquiring about her condition.

Amazing Grace! I’m often asked, “What keeps you going?” Simply, the love of Christ “compels” me, or “holds me together” no matter how dim things look. The apostle Paul wrote:

“For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.” 1

An Inspiring Response…

“I am a senior at a small school in Pennsylvania. In my history class, we were discussing Helter Skelter and the Charlie Manson murders when I first heard of you.

Happy Independence Day! I thank God for the subscribers, for those who have responded, and for those I’ve been privileged to minister with over the years, both those in and out of prison. My explanation to all:

“Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.” 1

An Uplifting Response…

Jimmy from Tennessee wrote: “I truly hold the ultimate admiration and respect for you.”

Happy Father’s Day! The absence of a responsible father causes a tremendous lack in one's life. But one thing we can count on, our Heavenly Father is “…always ready to help in times of trouble.” 1

“So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the Lord your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you.” 2

A Thankful Response…

Billy from Pennsylvania wrote: “I want to personally thank you for sharing your story.”

Happy Mother’s Day! I was blessed with wonderful parents, but that’s not always the case for everyone. For those left with painful memories, the psalmist David gave us a confession of good news:

“Even if my father and mother abandon me, the Lord will hold me close… I am confident I will see the Lord’s goodness while I am here in the land of the living.” 1

A Thankful Response…

It’s always great to hear from those blessed by the site, such as Steve’s letter from the United Kingdom.

Jesus is Risen! During these tumultuous times, let us praise God for the example that the people of Ukraine are setting for us as believers while standing strong against the wiles of the devil.

“For this world is not our permanent home; we are looking forward to a home yet to come. Therefore, let us offer through Jesus a continual sacrifice of praise to God, proclaiming our allegiance to his name.” 1

A Welcome Response…

Kenneth wrote from Tennessee, saying: “I hope this letter finds you doing well.”

Happy Springtime! In these troublesome days, it’s not enough to believe in God only. 1 We must be born of the Spirit, trusting in the blood and resurrection of Jesus Christ for comfort, peace and everlasting life. As recorded in John 14:1, Jesus cried out,

“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.”

A Welcomed Email…

Rob wrote from Los Angeles saying, “I appreciate your openness and honesty.”

Happy Valentines! The ministry logo is the cross inside my heart, reaching out to the world. Like our bold-pumping heart provides physical life, our inner-most heart produces spiritual life through faith in the blood of Jesus Christ. No matter what…

“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” 1

God’s Love Abounds…

I believe God’s love drew you to this site, believing that His “…love covers all sin.” 2

Happy New Year! May your faith increase in God’s grace as you visit and share this site with others. Through faith, our heavenly Father is drawing you closer to Himself. Jesus said,

“For no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them to me, and at the last day I will raise them up.” 1
