John, Pat and Chris discuss the power of someone’s last words when they are either leaving a post, or on their death bed. Normally these words are generally very important as it truly reveals the heart of the person and the main thing they want their followers or family to know. They discuss Joshua’s last words to the Israelites in Joshua 23, where Joshua shares with them not to forget how the Lord fought for them and not to overlook God’s word and to obey it. They continue to discuss that Joshua’s last words were the same as the first words God gave him in the beginning of his leadership.

Then you will be prosperous and successful.” They also share Jesus’ instructions to his disciples when His mission on earth was just about to be over and He was going back to the father.

John, Pat and Chris discuss how a new pro-life ad was allegedly refused to be run by three major newspapers because they called the ad too controversial. The ad shows a wide open hand holding a preborn 20 to 24 week old baby. They discuss how amazing it is that other things that are printed are not considered controversial. The word is getting out and so are the images that a baby is a baby and not a tissue. They also continue to discuss how the truth and more light is continuing to break through as they share about a Bill, Parental Notice Act, in Illinois that was passed back in 1995 which is now taking effect requires that a parent or guardian would have to be notified at least 48 hours before an abortion is performed on a minor.

John, Pat and Chris ask the question; are you really a Christian? They continue to share that in the Message bible Romans 2:28 says “It’s the mark of God on your heart, not of a knife on your skin that makes a Jew. They continue to say that just because someone calls themselves a Christian doesn’t mean they are one. Many people today identify themselves as being a Christian. In fact, Gallup Polls says that 77% of Americans identify themselves as being a Christian. If that was true that would mean that based upon that percentage there would be 245 million Christians living in the United States and if that was the case America would not be in the place that it is today. So this begs the question; what is a Christian. They continue to discuss some ideas and circumstances as they answer this question. They encourage us to follow what the Bible teaches and that is to examine ourselves to see if we are in the faith; to perform a self –examination, leading to an investigation which produces an evaluation. They remind us that it is better to examine ourselves while we still can and that it is not too late.

Greg, Pat and Chris discuss a part of the first teaching Jesus delivered from the Sermon on the Mount. In Matthew 5:21-26 Jesus speaks on hatred and anger and how God sees it. He compares anger to murder. To hate our brothers or sisters is the same as murder. Hate is defined as, extreme dislike; intense hostility and aversion to... This is why the enemy tries so hard to offend believers, but we must look at the example Jesus gave to us; WWJD. The story in Genesis of Cain and Abel shows us what happens when we become offended, jealous or angry with are brother. Cain murdered his brother when God accepted his brother's sacrifice over his own. God interceded between the two brothers and told Cain, "just do what's right" however, Cain did not deal with his anger or jealousy and murdered his brother. Jesus said, a new commandment I give you, love one another. Love is not an option; it is not a gift but a fruit of the Spirit...We are to leave our gifts at the alter and reconcile ourselves to those we've sinned against or our gifts will not be accepted. God wants his children to get along; hate divides His family. Make every opportunity to stay in unity and in keeping the faith.
