La Voix de l’Évangile, Québec is a vital part of the extensive radio work of MissionGO

which reaches into many French-speaking countries of the world. The broadcasts are recorded in the studio of the radio follow-up office in Châteauguay.

The ministry began in 1955 in the Back to the Bible Broadcast studios in Lincoln, Nebraska through a staff member who spoke French fluently and had a burden for the French-speaking people of the world. An office was soon established in Aix-en-Provence in France.

In 1974, an office was opened in Châteauguay, Québec, under the direction of MissionGO representatives, Clarence and Pearl Shelly. At the present time, the broadcasts are aired on one station in Montreal and one in Champlain, NY. Stephen Frank became the director of La Voix de l’Évangile, Québec in 2006. His wife, Karen, is also a representative of MissionGO.

The weekly French-language 15-minute broadcast features Pastor Michel Martel, a Québec evangelist who faithfully teaches the Word of God. Audio messages (in French only) are available on CDs at a reasonable cost as well as approximately 40 books in French on the Christian life.

How to have Eternal Life
Epicurus, the Greek philosopher, said: « Each of us leaves life with the feeling that he has just been born, » while according to the Arabic proverb, « Death is closer to us than the eyelid of the eye. »

The thoughtful man therefore thinks of the afterlife, but only one throughout the history of mankind has triumphed over death; one who spoke with authority and simplicity of eternal life – Jesus Christ.

What is eternal life?
Eternal life is a life that never ends, and moreover, has a spiritual dimension. Jesus told His listeners, « I tell you the truth, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life. » The Gospel according to John 5:24.
His listeners were alive, but because of sin (and all are sinners) they were dead spiritually. Many brilliant men are nevertheless agnostics, atheists, because they are spiritually dead. Their relationship with God is broken, for they do not know Him. Jesus said to His Father, « Now this is eternal life: that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. » John 17:3
 
You and eternal life
« Anyone who believes in the Son of God has this testimony in his heart. Anyone who does not believe God has made Him out to be a liar, because he has not believed the testimony God has given about His Son. And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. » First epistle of John 5:10-12.
The theme of the Holy Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, is that of the Redeemer, the Son of God. Over 300 prophecies were fulfilled to the letter in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.It is God speaking to you and if you do not believe in this message, or if you modify it, you make God a liar and you bring upon yourself everlasting destruction, far from the presence of the Lord.But, if by faith you receive Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour, you will live forever.
Jesus knocks at the door of your life. He wants to give you eternal life. You can experience the forgiveness of sin, peace and communion with God, and the power of a new and spiritual life. This life also has an eternal dimension; therefore, death is not the end but the dawn of an eternal and glorious day in the presence of Jesus Christ and His Father.
 
How do we receive eternal life?
« For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. » John 3:16. 
What needs to be done to inherit eternal life? We must trust in Jesus Christ. Sin caused death: spiritual and physical. Every man is spiritually dead and all die physically. Jesus paid the debt of our sin and therefore, if we are willing to turn from our sins and trust Him, He will forgive us and give us eternal life, for « the Son gives life to whom He is pleased to give it. » John 5.21
 
Can we know that we have eternal life?
The apostle John completed his first epistle with the words, « I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. » 1 John 5:13. Jesus gave this assurance to the repentant thief, telling him, « today you will be with Me in paradise. » The Gospel according to Luke 23:43
 
Can you lose eternal life?
In this case it would not be eternal. Moreover, Jesus said, « And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall lose none of all that He has given Me, but raise them up at the last day. For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. » John 6:39 & 40. Speaking of His « sheep” He says: « I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of My hand. » John 10:28. As Jesus gives eternal life to all who trust in Him, He also keeps.
 
It’s Your Decision « For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son … Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on him. » John. 3:17, 18 & 36
These verses in the Gospel of John say that you have the responsibility for your eternal fate in your hands. Jesus has done all that is necessary for your salvation and now offers you eternal life. « He who believes has everlasting life. » John 6:47.That is His promise.
What will you do with Jesus? Draw near to God in prayer and tell Him with all your heart that you trust in Jesus Christ in order to receive His salvation and eternal life.
 
Let us know of your decision so that we can rejoice with you and send you literature to help you in your new life of faith in Jesus Christ.

Aches and Praise Five Hundred & Seventy Nine

Dear friends,  
 

A few weeks ago, I began sharing insights from “Mastering Life Before It’s Too Late” by Robert J. Morgan. On the back cover of this excellent book, we read: “In this book, you’ll discover the godly rhythms of productive people – lifelong patterns to help you order your life, beginning today. Rather than adding pressure to your schedule, you’ll find that a God-planned life actually relieves stress and produces a more relaxed yet resolute lifestyle. By following these ten biblical patterns, you can gain control of yourself, take charge of each day, and finish your life’s work well.”

In the introduction to this book, Morgan writes: “We have a limited number of days on earth, and we don’t know how many are left. We believe we’re on this planet for a reason, but most people can’t figure out what it is. Our ability to influence the world is directly proportional to our knack for managing our own lives, but we have trouble with that too. We search everywhere for ways to improve, yet the only truly effective life is one unapologetically woven from the strands of Scripture.” As I read this, I thought of the legacy that people like Queen Elizabeth II and my mother left to their families and others. The influence of godly people reaches further and longer than we think.

Robert Morgan organizes his insights into ten patterns, the first of which is “Listen to a Twelve-Year-Old.” The first three chapters of his book examine how we can be effective in our life, including helpful advice from authors such as John Maxwell: “There are only a handful of important decisions people need to make in their entire lifetime. If you make decisions in those key areas once and for all – and then manage those decisions daily – you can create the kind of tomorrow you desire. Successful people make right decisions early and manage those decisions daily. If we want to do something with our lives, then we must focus on today.”

In last week’s blog, we looked at the fourth chapter, which is the first of four chapters in the second pattern: “Redeem the Time.” In the fifth chapter, Morgan quotes Charles Caleb Colton, a British writer who said “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery” and “When you have nothing to say, say nothing.” Colton defines time as: “the most indefinable, yet paradoxical of things; the past is gone, the future is not come, and the present becomes the past, even while we attempt to define it, and like the flash of the lightning, at once exists and expires.” He further noted that time is “the bleak and narrow isthmus between two eternities.”

Morgan writes: “That reminds me of two passages in the Bible – Psalm 90 and Ephesians 5. These two portions of Scripture are about time and our custodianship of it. One occurs in the middle of the Old Testament and the other in the middle of the New. One is a prayer to offer, the other a command to obey. The first was written by Moses, the second by the apostle Paul.”

In commenting on Psalm 90, Morgan observes: “We who are transitory should ask Him who is transcendent to help us be wise stewards of our swiftly passing years, days, and hours … Since You are infinite and my life on earth is brief, teach me to count each day and to make each day count.”

In examining Ephesians 5:15-16, Morgan notes: “Our time-saving technologies have made us busier than ever, and the sheer volume of everyday life is overwhelming our systems. I sometimes feel like Abraham Lincoln when besieged by people pestering him for government jobs at the same time the Civil War was breaking out. He said he felt like a man renting out rooms at one end of the house while the other end was on fire.”         

Morgan concludes by quoting an old couplet attributed to C.T. Studd:

“This one life will soon be past;                                                                
Only what’s done for Christ will last.”
 

This was on a wooden plaque in the kitchen of my parents’ house and made an impression on me as I was growing up. How about you? Have you asked God’s forgiveness for your sins and trusted Christ as your Saviour? Have you asked the Lord to help you to live wholeheartedly for His glory? If not, why not?

Scripture for the weekend: “So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” Psalm 90:12 (NKJV)

Thought for the weekend: “If time be of all things the most precious, wasting time may be the greatest prodigality, since lost time is never found again … Let us then be up and doing, and doing to the purpose; so by diligence shall we do more with less perplexity.” – Benjamin Franklin

 

By His grace,
