Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?

"Bad boys, bad boys whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?"
The opening line of the theme song for the long
running TV show "COPS" is a catchy reggae song first
released by Inner Circle in 1997. The full song goes on to
speak of bad behavior and that no one will "give you no
break" and "acting like a fool" does not deserve a
break. The lyrics of the song offer no hope for redemption to
the "bad boys".
The prophet Joel records the words of the Lord about
the disobedience and judgement of the southern nation of Judah, God's
people, acting like fools and behaving like "bad
boys". Joel records the plan for redemption of God's
people, "And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord
will be saved" (Joel 3:32). Joel gives us the first
lengthy description of "the day of the Lord".
This is a reminder that as sinners (bad boys), no one
gets a break and no break is due. Their end is destruction and
death. As Christians, our calling is to tell the world
(sinners) of the hope that is only in Jesus Christ. Only he can
turn "bad boys" into "redeemed boys".
Why not start today, right now, with a new dedication
in this new year to be about "the Father's business" of
telling those in your life about the Son.
And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be
saved.

So many of you have prayed for Nadi since her terrible accident
and you will be thrilled to know that she continues to recover
and improve Praise the Lord for the great miracle of
healing that He has already done.
Nadi was married just before
Christmas to a fine Christian man. Please continue to pray
for her.
(Dwayne, thank you for the photo.)

One great way you can introduce our vision to

Think of someone you would like to be with on mission.
(Forwarding this will not add anyone to our email list, but
