Information about ProJesus.

The Bible says: We will all live for eternity. Where will you be? In Heaven or Hell? There are no other options. The goal of ProJesus.com is to provide evidence that Jesus Christ is God the Son, our Creator, and our Savior.

In the few years we have had the web site, there have been over 15,000 hits on the site. From around the world there have been over 1300 hits from 116 different countries. We are sure we get additional hits by word of mouth but we are small and few people come to us that way.

Thus we have reached out to the public through advertising on Google and Yahoo where each hit costs from $0.10 to $0.75. A few years ago we did a little advertising on T V that went well, but, it was expensive. Recently we advertised on a Central Coast radio station 920AM which gave us a big jump in hits. The cost for the radio ads were $525.00 for 36 ads during a 4 week period. All of these cost figures are immaterial if the folks do not accept Jesus. Since we started the ads the e-mail questions have increased five fold. No matter what the question, we always share the gospel. The LORD said in Prov. 21:3

To do righteousness and justice Is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. At ProJesus your prayers are more important than finances. However, both are necessary. Please pray for ProJesus as you read this newsletter. We pray the LORD will bless you richly. You can assist us at ProJesus by sending a check to: ProJesus.com, P.O.

What does Independence Day mean to you? Webster defines independent as: not influenced or controlled by others in matters of opinion; not subject to another's (Or another country’s) authority or jurisdiction; autonomous. But note the Creator's idea of independence. The text in Isaiah 61 is what the Lord Jesus quoted in the synagogue in Nazareth as He assumed His public ministry. This day, Jesus declared, this scripture is fulfilled in your ears (Luke 4:21). God's great liberty is of the spirit and of the mind, not merely of the land and the national population. The independence of Christ will heal the brokenhearted. It grants deliverance to the "captives" and new sight to the blind. The liberty of the King of kings and the Creator of the ends of the earth will set at liberty the bruised.

Be grateful and celebrate the wonderful liberty ( Independence) and freedom that God has granted the United States. But pray, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. . . . For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen

In addition freedom is defined as: the state of being free or at liberty rather than inconfinement; exemption from external control, interference, regulation, political or national independence. Believers are free from the law's curse, its penalty, and its guilt-producing power. Fear, anxiety, and guilt are replaced by peace, for­giveness, and liberty. Who could be more free than one who is free in the depths of his soul? But here is where we often fail. We use freedom's luxury to live selfishly, or we claim ownership of what God has merely entrusted to us. We slip into patterns of self-indulgent living, especially in affluent societies.

The proper use of freedom is faith working through love to serve one another (Gal. 5:6,13). When we rely on the Spirit and expend our energies on loving God and help­ing others, the destructive works of the flesh will be restrained by God (vv.16-21). So let's always use our liberty to build up, not to tear down.

It took a miracle to put the stars in place,

It took a miracle to hang the world in space,

But when He saved my soul, cleansed and made me whole,

It took a miracle of love and grace!
