Praise the Lord, God is good and I am doing better with the 5 bypasses and one stent. I almost died during the operation, and I now feel God has a job for me and he wouldn't let me die.

Well the web page is up and almost running, I have few refindments to add, IF YOU WANT to advertise your ministry this is the place! send me some pictures and a profile you want listed. The web site is at www.ifgci.com and you can reach me at RevJerry@ifgci.com if you would like a email address @ifgci.com let me know, you must have a present email address, the mail is forwarded to you and you can keep your present email address private.

We need to pay attention to the news, the end is near, let us not become the sleeping giant. We shouldn't be sleeping but should be standing watch. Things are going to get worse and at the same time we will be lulled into thinking that peace is close at hand, we just need to give up more rights and be marked with a ID chip that will allow us to have food and shelter. Watch and see what happens to Israel, Russia, Palestine, Iran, Syria.

Hope everyone has a good Thanksgiving and a wonderful Christmas as we are thankfull for the birth of Christ. May He richly bless you.

Definition of a Veteran (I know Veteran's day is over but this is good)

A Veteran - (whether active duty, retired, national guard, or reserve,) is someone who, at one point in his or her life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life."

That is HONOR, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand that.

A Salute to Veterans

It is the soldier, not the preacher, who has given us freedom of religion.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press.

It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.

It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us freedom to assemble.

It is the soldier, not the agitator, who has given us the freedom to protest.

It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial.

It is the soldier, not the politician, who has given us the right to vote.

It is the soldier, who salutes the flag and serves under it, whose coffin is draped by the flag, who gives that protester the freedom to abuse and burn the flag.

Never in the history of the world has any soldier sacrificed more for the freedom and liberty of total strangers than the American Soldier - Zell B. Miller

Do all roads lead to God?

No, they do not; Eastern religions of the west teach us that it doesn't matter which religion that you believe in or which god or God you worship, because all of us will wind up in the same place anyway after we die. In other words, all men will eventually be saved. This belief is know as (UNIVERSALISM) and is FALSE

Jesus said emphatically; "I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man cometh unto the Father, but by me (John 14:6) In Matthew 10:32,33 Jesus also said "Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. The devil and his demons know that if a man thinks that he will be saved (regardless of what he believes about God) that man will see no need to heed Jesus Christ's words to repent of his sins and accept Jesus Christ as his only personal Savior. Even they know that without Jesus, NO person can go to HEAVEN and THEY will spend all eternity in HELL!
