Pray for Peace: Israel, Iran, and God’s Plan

Israel’s strikes on Iran spark fears of retaliation, echoing ancient hostility between Ishmael’s and Israel’s tribes (Genesis 16:12). At En-Joy Ministries, we reject the heresy that the church replaced Israel—both have divine destinies (Romans 11:1-2). This is a spiritual battle (Ephesians 6:12), with confusion as the enemy’s tactic (Nehemiah 4:8). Pray for peace, discernment, and protection, trusting God’s sovereignty (Psalm 46:1). Join us in seeking spiritual blessings (Ephesians 1:3) to be peacemakers. God’s plan will prevail. #Israel #Iran #PrayForPeace #SpiritualWarfare #MiddleEast #BiblicalTruth #EnJoyMinistries

Dying to Self, Rising in Christ: The Power of Water Baptism

Water baptism is a powerful act of obedience, symbolizing our death to self and new life in Christ. Through Lydia’s story (Acts 16) and Paul’s teachings (Romans 6), we see baptism as a declaration of our union with Jesus, making us His flesh and bone in the earth. As joint heirs, we’re “like Him,” called to live righteously, empowered by the Holy Spirit. At En-Joy Ministries, we celebrate this transformative step, uniting us with God’s family. Visit en-joyministries.org to learn more or share your story!

Embracing Jesus as the Truth: A Biblical-Historical Journey

At En-Joy Ministries, we find confidence in knowing Christ and living in complete union with Him, as His Spirit testifies with our spirit, affirming our faith. This deep spiritual connection is enriched by biblical-historical evidence: the New Testament’s reliable manuscripts detail Jesus’ life and resurrection, non-Christian sources like Tacitus and Josephus corroborate His existence, and Old Testament prophecies like Isaiah 53 find fulfillment in Him. This harmony of spiritual assurance and historical grounding invites us to embrace His transformative love. Join us in celebrating a faith alive with hope!

The Creator’s Hand: Four Scientific Evidences Pointing to God’s Design

The universe’s precise order, sudden beginning, fine-tuning for life, and the complexity of cells reveal God’s purposeful design. Romans 1:20 declares His eternal power is evident in creation. From the harmony of physical laws (Psalm 19:1) to the intricate balance enabling life (Isaiah 45:18), science points to the Creator. The origin of life and cellular complexity (Job 12:10) defy chance, affirming God’s handiwork. As pastor of En-Joy Ministries, I invite you to follow science’s path to God, worshipping Him for His divine plan revealed in the cosmos and life itself.

The Correlation Between Christian Influence and Individual Freedom: A Call to Return to Our Roots

The United States’ freedoms are eroding as Christian influence declines. Freedom House data shows nations with Christian heritage, like Norway and South Korea, rank among the freest. In America, taxes and government overreach stifle liberty, while welfare dependency grows. Scripture (2 Chronicles 7:14) calls for national repentance to restore our Christian roots. Benjamin Franklin warned, “A republic, if you can keep it.” Without a return to biblical values—honesty, responsibility, and compassion—our liberties risk further decline. Let us pray, repent, and act to preserve the republic before it’s too late.

A Pastor’s Call to Pray for Donald Trump and Elon Musk

As a pastor, I’ve long prayed for Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s salvation. Trump’s life was spared by divine intervention, yet his actions don’t clearly show Jesus as his Savior. Musk’s SpaceX work reveals creation’s wonders, prompting my message to him about Romans 1:20. Both need Christ to have their names in the Lamb’s Book of Life (Revelation 20:15). Join me in praying: Father, lead Trump and Musk to accept Jesus’ sacrifice (1 Peter 1:18-19), that their influence may glorify You. Amen.

The Biblical Meaning of Joy: En-Joy Ministries’ Call to Enable, Enrich, Encourage, and Enjoy

At En-Joy Ministries, we explore the biblical meaning of joy, rooted in the Hebrew simchah and Greek chara, reflecting gladness and spiritual fruit. Joy fuels faith, embodying Nehemiah 8:10: “The joy of the Lord is your strength.” Our mission, inspired by the prefix “EN,” centers on four actionable, joy-driven concepts: Enable (Philippians 4:13), Enrich (Psalm 16:11), Encourage (1 Thessalonians 5:11), and Enjoy (John 15:11). Through Paul’s endurance, David’s worship, the early church’s unity, and Jesus’ promise of fullness, joy empowers us. Join us to embrace joy, finding strength to live out God’s calling.

The Church as God’s Blended Family

The church is God’s blended family, united by Christ’s indwelling presence (Matthew 18:20). Like a diverse household, believers from all walks of life come together, bringing unique backgrounds and challenges. Through koinonia—deep fellowship rooted in Christ—we share love, growth, and service (Acts 2:42–47). Despite differences, our unity in Christ’s grace and sovereignty creates a family where all belong (1 Corinthians 12:12). By loving God and one another (Matthew 22:34–40), we grow in faith, care for each other, and impact the world, reflecting Jesus’ love and drawing others to Him (John 13:34–35).

Who Are We in God’s Plan? Understanding Lineage, the Jewish People, and Salvation

All humanity descends from Adam, but the Jewish people are uniquely chosen through Abraham’s covenant (Genesis 12:1-3). As Christians, we’re “born again” through faith in Christ (John 3:3), grafted into God’s promise (Romans 11:17), not ethnically Jewish. Salvation comes only through Jesus (John 14:6), rejecting dual-covenant theology. We also reject replacement theology, affirming Israel’s distinct role (Romans 11:29). Modern Israel’s 1948 establishment fulfills prophecy (Ezekiel 36:24). Let’s pray for the Jewish people and share the Gospel, trusting God’s plan to save “all Israel” through Christ (Romans 11:26).
