Seeing Through the Spectacle of Corruption

Micah 3:11 warns, “Her leaders judge for a bribe.” Corruption in our judiciary, from Jesus’ time to today, often prioritizes personal gain. The recent Barrett-Jackson Supreme Court spat over Trump v. CASA (June 27, 2025) seems less about principle and more a spectacle to boost their $2 million book deals with Penguin Random House. Like Samuel’s sons (1 Samuel 8:3), who perverted justice for profit, such actions erode trust. Let’s pray for discernment, hold leaders accountable, and seek God’s truth amid worldly schemes.
Lord, guide our justices to prioritize justice. Amen.

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.

 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)?

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.

Answering Tough Theological Questions with Biblical Truth

Pastor Barron Greenwalt addresses tough theological questions for En-Joy Ministries, affirming a young earth creation view and the authority of Scripture. Hell is real, but God’s justice and love meet at the cross, offering salvation. The Genesis account supports a young earth, and science reveals God’s design, not conflict. Evolution is not needed; God created directly. In a pluralistic society, Christians must share the Gospel with love, listening, and pointing to Jesus. En-Joy Ministries invites seekers to explore God’s truth and equips believers to answer questions boldly, proclaiming Christ’s hope with compassion.

How Are Old Testament Saints Saved? Understanding God’s Timeless Plan of Salvation

How are Old Testament saints saved if they never knew Jesus? Christians believe salvation is through Christ’s timeless sacrifice, applied to all who trust God’s promises. Abraham was justified by faith (Genesis 15:6), trusting God’s covenant, fulfilled in Jesus (Galatians 3:16). Old Testament sacrifices pointed to Christ’s ultimate atonement (Hebrews 10:10). Saints like Moses trusted God’s plan, revealed progressively, and were saved by grace through faith, just as we are. In eternity, they’ll join us, worshiping the Savior whose cross bridges all time, uniting believers from every era in God’s redemptive story.
