Church Ministry Solutions - Issue #3
Remember the day that you got saved?
Please pray for us as we move forward...
Thank you for praying for Church Ministry Solutions! We appreciate your support in this way. Jim and Una continue to design ways to reach others through evangelism and encouragement tracts. We especially appreciate those who give us new ideas to develop.
We are designing new Little Message tracts and posting them on our website (tap website link). Currently, you will find 36 individual cards and two racks (9 or 24 pockets) which we offer to display the cards. You can also order a Variety Pack that will give you a sample of most of our cards.

I want to thank one of our Faithful Life Publishers authors, Dale Byers, who wrote the book, In Remembrance of Me. Dale sends out encouraging emails which honor the Lord on a weekly basis. I thought I would share his outline points with you below. I hope you don't mind, I also added some comments along the way.
Think back to the day that you were saved...
Who was the person(s) that was instrumental in helping you to see your spiritual need of receiving Christ Jesus as your Savior? Did they use a tract of some kind to help you understand? A few simple words can change a person's life forever. There is no question that each of us had serious needs in our lives back then. At the beginning of that day, we were spiritually dead to God.
WHAT WE WERE: Spiritually dead to God
- Strength- We were helpless, without power: (Romans 5:6)
- Strangers, without righteousness: (Eph. 2:19)
- Sinners by choice, without hope- Enemies of God: (Eph. 2:12)
Then, by God's grace, the Holy Spirit moved in our hearts to help us see that we needed to trust Christ for the forgiveness of our sins. On that day, He changed our lives in more ways than we could truly understand.
WHAT WE NOW HAVE: A new birthright and an inheritance
- Forever: Eternal Life (1 John 5:11-13)
- Forgiveness: Our past failures were removed (Psalm 103:12)
- Future Hope: Assurance of Heaven in the Father’s House What a glorious future. (John 14:1-6)
WHAT WE SHALL BE:
- Changed: (I Cor. 15:50-58)
- Cleansed without guilt or shame: (Heb. 8:12)
- Communion with Christ forever: (John 6:40)
Praise the Lord for each of our salvation experiences. Otherwise, you and I would probably have never met. Maybe we have never met in person. How many people do you meet each day that you will never see again? Take the opportunity to share with them what God has done in your life, even if it is for just a brief moment. You may have an impact on them far greater than you can possibly imagine.
Four new cards have been added to the site...

CRISIS AVERTED:
Two verses really stood out to me because of Covid-19. Read verses 4 and 5 below. How many people do you know who are afraid of what "ungodly men" are telling them today? Is it preventing them from even going to church?
We need to remind our friends that we have a Deliverer! He wants to hear from us, especially when we are in distress. He will deliver us.
We need to tell the world that there is a Deliverer. That deliverance doesn't come in the form of a politician or shots in the arm. God will deliver them.
We all need to trust in the Lord as our Deliverer!

Need Deliverance? God will meet your needs!
Read Psalm 18. Here are a few key verses you will find helpful.
1. I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.
2. The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
3. I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
4. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
5. The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.
6. In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.
49. Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name. 50. GREAT DELIVERANCE GIVETH HE...
