Mission Printing
|
Mission Printing has plans to spread the word of God to even more areas of the world in the coming years and we need your help! |
|
Financial support is the part of our planning with which Mission Printing needs your immediate and ongoing help. Our donations over the last few years have not increased and, at times, have decreased due to the economic times and deaths of several donors. While our donations as a whole have not increased, our expenses have. As an example of this increase in our expense, you will notice from the chart below that our shipping expense has increased over 3 times from previous years. Shipping Expense for January–March |

We realize Mission Printing is not unique in this position and that you might be aiding other worthwhile and Christ–centered organizations. We are not asking you to cut back on any of your other commitments. We are simply asking you to increase your financial aide to Mission Printing, if only by a few dollars. People often feel they can't give much and that it really wouldn't help to give so little. I am here to let you know that your “two minas” go further that what Satan would like you to think. If we had 500 people that could give $10 a month it would increase our yearly donation by $60,000! Don't let Satan convince you that your gift can't go far. Your small gift will be felt around the world! God bless you all and may you continue to experience the glory of God. |

Vendall Dollarhide Assaulted
I wanted to take this time to update everyone on my assault. On March 5, I was attacked on the campus of UTA. I was beaten severly on my head causing me to lose consciousness at least once. After regaining consciousness, I fought with the assilant and in the process received numerous lacerations from a knife on my arms and body.
As a result of the attack, I received 3 fractures in my face, a fractured rib, a blood clot, and an inflamed artery in my face. I am experiencing bleeding, headaches, and other side effects. The doctors believe that the recovery will take 3 or more months.
I am still alive and working with Mission Printing and preaching! I wanted to thank everyone for the cars, calls, and prayers. God has blessed me over the years and His blessings are ever increasing!

There is a righteous way to serve God and there is an unholy way that does not serve God! What is right and what is wrong? What is righteous and what is unholy? Who decides what is right and what is wrong? ONLY GOD! I John 4:13–17 declares, “By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.” How do yu acknowledge that Jesus is the Son of God? If your answer is that you simply need to say that you believe and pray for Jesus to come into your heart, then you need to read Matthew 7:21–23. It simply states that, “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ ” If you answer is that you OBEY GOD'S COMMANDS, then God bless you, because you will find the crown of life in heaven! We cannot pick and choose what we will or will not obey! Who are we to presume anything that is not revealed in Scripture! THERE IS A RIGHT WAYand THERE IS A WRONG WAY to become a child of God! The way to become a part of God's Kingdom and to enter into heaven is not gray or flexible. You can be lost! You can be saved! You can be lost again! God's Word does not shift like the sands on the beach, or go through phase shifts like the moon! God's Word is constant through the ages! We are not free to add or take away from God's Word. Revelation 22:18–19 states: “For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” Today's world and it's “religions” teach whatever makes people happy and gives them “warm fuzzies” inside. “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables” (II Timothy 4:3–4). The “world's religious” attempt to convince you that “once saved, always saved.” No where does God's word condone such false teaching! The Bible teaches that someone can be lost after being saved! “You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law, you have fallen from grace” (Galatians 5:4). “Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, forbidding to marry, and commanding to |
abstain from foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth” (I Timothy 4:1–3). “ButI discipline my body and bring it into subjection lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified” (I Corinthians 9:27). “Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall” (I Corinthians 10:12). “Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; but exhort one another daily, while it is called ‘Today,’ lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin” (Hebrews 3:12–13). In order to be saved, Satan would have us to merely believe in Jesus and pray for Him to come inside our heart! Again, that is false teaching from man and Satan, not from God! God's inspired word teaches that YOU MUST: Hear the Word Romans 10:17 “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Believe the Word John 8:24 “Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.” Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” Repent of your sins Acts 17:30 “Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent.” Confess the name of Jesus Romans 10:10 “Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent.” Confess the Name of Jesus Romans 10:10 “For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Philippians 2:11 “... every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father” Be Baptized Mark 16:16 “He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned” Acts 2:38 “... Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins: ...” Acts 22:16 “And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.” Your life as a child of God then begins. Until all these commands (provisions) are met, you are lost! God does not want anyone to be lost. STAND UP AND BE PART OF THE HARVEST! |

II Timothy 3:16–17 — “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” I believe that God is my Father and Creator mainly because it tells us so in the Bible, which is God breathed. However, this is not the only reason I believe. God showed us, His creation, that He loved us enough as the Father to send His Son so we can be in heaven with Him. He guides men on earth, yet still leaves them free to govern their own thoughts and make their own |
decisions. Whether or not we choose to believe God's words or the worldly path is governed by our thoughts themselves. We must choose for ourselves in which way we will follow what God says. Although there are many trials along the way, God is right there with us to hold our hand through everything, if we so choose. If we love God with all our heart, mind, and soul and believe in Him and in Jesus' death, burial, and ressurection, then He will unite us in baptism and we must still continue to praise Him. Our praise must also follow the pattern which the Lord has commanded throughout Scripture. We must worship from the inside of our heart through song and prayer to Him.
