Understanding Jesus’ Sonship: The Eternal Word of God

Jesus’ title as “Son of God” often confuses Christians and Muslims alike. It doesn’t imply a physical relationship but signifies Jesus as the Messiah and the eternal Word of God (John 1:1-2). The Word, inseparable from God’s essence, became flesh in Jesus (John 1:14), revealing the Father (John 14:9). Scriptures like John 5:18-26 and Colossians 1:15 affirm His divine nature and unique relationship with God. At En-Joy Ministries, we clarify that Jesus is God’s self-expression, manifest in human flesh (1 Timothy 3:16), calling us to worship and share His truth with love.

We Share Communion Together – The Power of Koinonia in Christ

As pastor of En-Joy Ministries, I invite you to embrace koinonia—the deep fellowship uniting believers with God and each other. Through communion, we celebrate Jesus’ sacrifice, as seen in Acts 2:42-47 and Matthew 26:17-29. This sacred act binds us as God’s family, fostering love and unity (1 Corinthians 10:16-17). By sharing the bread and cup, we remember Christ’s love, examine our hearts, and anticipate eternity together. Let’s live out koinonia, strengthening our witness and glorifying God as one body in Christ.

Exploring Mars, Embracing God’s Creation: A Pastor’s Reflection on Science, Scripture, and Salvation

As pastor of En-Joy Ministries, I marvel at God’s creation through space exploration, from NASA’s Mars rovers to the Space Shuttle’s legacy. Yet, as a young Earth creationist, I reject carbon dating’s flawed billions-of-years claims, affirming a 6,000–10,000-year-old universe per Genesis. Mars’ Jezero Crater, possibly once a lake, declares God’s glory, not alien life. Humanity, one race from Adam and Eve, is Earth’s focus. I pray Elon Musk, via SpaceX, finds Christ, his influence glorifying the Creator. Let Mars and the cosmos point us to Jesus (Romans 1:20, Psalm 8:9).

A Call for Truth: Exposing Corruption and Lies in Our Government

As a pastor and Trump supporter, I’m frustrated by ineffective special counsels and unproven claims of a stolen 2020 election. Despite God’s miraculous protection of Trump, allegations of corruption—Biden’s “autopen,” Dominion machines, COVID origins, and more—lack evidence. Proverbs 29:2 warns of wicked rulers, and Ephesians 5:11 calls us to expose evil. If true, these issues demand justice; if false, the lies must end. I pray for truth to prevail, corrupt leaders to be exposed, and our nation to heal under God’s guidance. Let’s demand accountability and transparency now.

 The Call to Action: Fulfilling the Great Commission Amid Rising Islam

As Pastor of En-Joy Ministries, I highlight the urgent mission field: Islam, with 1.6 billion adherents (23% of the world), grows at 1.86% annually, outpacing Christianity’s 1.31% (Gordon-Conwell, 2015). By 2050, 2.9 billion Muslims are projected (Pew, 2015). The Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20) calls us to disciple all nations, yet many churches fail, ignoring Hebrews 5:14’s call to be “skilful by reason of use.” Without training to evangelize Muslims, leadership falters (Proverbs 29:18). Join En-Joy Ministries as we equip believers—will you rise to the harvest (Luke 10:2)?

Know Your Rights: Pennsylvania’s Castle Doctrine in Times of Political Unrest

In Pennsylvania, the Castle Doctrine (18 Pa.C.S. § 505) lets you use deadly force to protect yourself in your home or vehicle if someone forcibly enters and you reasonably fear death or serious harm. With rising political violence, know your rights: no retreat is required in these spaces. As I believe, “It’s better to be judged by twelve than carried by six.” Stay safe, but act responsibly—courts will scrutinize your actions. Consult an attorney for legal advice and stay informed to navigate today’s unrest.

Discerning Truth in a World of Deception: A Call to Lean on the Holy Spirit

In 2003, the U.S. invaded Iraq, claiming Saddam Hussein had WMDs, but none were found, exposing a major deception. As Christians, we’re called to discern truth through the Holy Spirit. “When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth” (John 16:13, ESV). Like Daniel in Babylon, we must rely on God’s wisdom to navigate lies from media and governments. “Test all things; hold fast what is good” (1 Thessalonians 5:21, NKJV). En-Joy Ministries urges you: immerse in Scripture, pray for wisdom, and trust the Spirit to reveal truth.

Praying for Iran’s Christians, Peace, and Godly Change

En-Joy Ministries calls for prayer for Iran’s persecuted Christians, facing imprisonment and torture under a Shia-dominated regime. With historical regime changes like the 1953 CIA-backed coup in Iran and the 2003 Iraq invasion leading to chaos, we pray for godly, organic change in Iran, avoiding past disasters. The Middle East’s tensions, rooted in the biblical split of Isaac and Ishmael, reflect a spiritual battle. Israel’s 1948 formation fulfills prophecy. We intercede for Iran’s believers, innocent people, Israel’s protection, and a divinely appointed regime, trusting God’s redemptive plan.

Building Bridges, Sharing Joy: Witnessing to Other Worldviews

At En-Joy Ministries, we share the gospel with joy, building bridges to other worldviews. Like Jesus with the Samaritan woman (John 4:4-42), we foster genuine relationships, find common ground, and present Christ with love. Build trust through friendship (Proverbs 17:17), affirm shared values (Acts 17:23), and share your story of faith with gentleness (1 Peter 3:15). Live the gospel through actions, inviting others to discover Jesus’ eternal joy. Let’s reflect Christ’s heart, connecting with others in love and truth to draw them closer to Him.
