Faith Plus Nothing
Dear Friends,
We've made it through another year. Another year without Les and Iris (and other loved ones). Another year of world events we never thought we would see or experience. Another year closer to the calling up of the Body of Christ. Before us lies a year of opportunities to study and gain deeper understanding of our Bible. More importantly, new opportunities to share the Gospel according to I Corinthians 15:1-4.
Almost 20 years ago, Les gave the following insights on redemption, which are still apropos today: "Remember now that the three facets of redemption are: it takes a person; it takes blood; and it takes power. Of course, the Lord Himself fulfilled all that when He completed the work of the cross, not just to redeem Israel, not just to redeem the Gentile, but to redeem the whole human race. This is a concept, I think, that probably shakes people up every time I say it. You want to remember that the work of the cross passed forgiveness to the whole human race. From Adam to the end of time every sin has been forgiven. It was laid on Christ at the cross. Every alienated person has been reconciled to God, so far as God is concerned. Every human being now has access to this salvation, but it has to be appropriated by their personal faith.
It isn't just a blanket statement that oh well, God's going to bring everyone into glory sooner or later. No, the Scripture doesn't teach that. The Scripture makes it so plain that even though God has accomplished the work for all the human race, it has to be appropriated by faith. He redeemed the whole human race. He paid the price of redemption for everybody, but it doesn't do them any good until they appropriate it with their own personal faith."
Office Note
As is customary, we want to use this first quarterly newsletter to remind you to ask for a year-end receipt, should you require one for tax purposes. We had a considerable response last year from those who do not require receipts for each donation. This has been a money saver for the ministry, especially considering the ever-rising prices for sending first-class mail. It's worth noting that if you ask for no receipt, you also won't get a return envelope. However, if you need some, we will gladly send them by request.
We will close with a big THANK YOU for your unwavering support through prayer, encouragement, and financial contributions. You have sustained Les Feldick Ministries for another year and the future for LFM looks promising. We are so very appreciative and blessed!
