I’ve been a long time supporter of the work of Spirit & Truth Fellowship International. I feel the work we’re doing is of the utmost importance. We all face choices and decisions concerning where we will dedicate our time, our heart, and our resources. As I look around my community and our society as a whole, I can see that we are in a world of hurt. War, famine, disease, and hunger come to mind first and I know I’m not alone when I ask myself “Where can I help?”
There are many honorable causes and charitable organizations that cry for our support. I enjoy giving in other areas when I can and was a mentor in the Big Brothers & Sisters program here in Fort Worth, Texas for many years. When it comes to giving, I have many choices. But when it comes to my spiritual giving, I have found a home with the Spirit & Truth Fellowship International family.
There are things in the physical world that parallel or give us a glimpse into the spiritual. There is a spiritual reality we should clearly see - an epic battle being waged in the spiritual realm. A struggle between the goodness of our Creator and the evil forces of Satan, the god of this age (2 Cor. 4:4). It literally is a matter of life and death -- eternal life and everlasting death. In this battle there are spiritual casualties and the walking wounded.
Being a partner with Spirit & Truth Fellowship International allows me to contribute to our spiritual war effort in a material sense. I’m supporting our spiritual “troops” on the front lines. In truth, in this battle we’re all in forward trenches. Our Enemy knows no borders and recognizes no flags. His aim is still to steal, kill and destroy, but in contrast, our Lord is here to give life in all of its abundance (John 10:10). None of us should go into battle ill equipped.
This ministry helps to equip us with a greater understanding of the Word of God.
Ephesians 6:11 and 12 (NIV)
(11) Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand
against the devil’s schemes.
(12) For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers,
against the authorities, against powers of this dark world and against
the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
Things that we do and decisions that we make here in the senses realm have eternal ramifications. I believe that what we are doing in this ministry effects the eternal lives of many others all around the world. As for myself, and some of the members of our home Church, we’re thankful to be partners with this ministry!
