| Our Mission at Christian Times Online |
Our goal here at Christian Times Online is to fix our love and focus and the love and focus of our Christian brothers and sisters’ (readers, subscribers, and advertisers) hearts, minds, soul, and strength on God’s kingdom, and His glorious grace in all things; in every way (Mark 12:30). We acknowledge and receive our responsiblity to God as that of honor and commitment. There is no greater accolade. According to His Word, “We should all speak the same thing.” (1 Corinthians 1:10). We are “Born Again”, Spirit-filled, Full Gospel Evangelists and Pastors. We are to tell people about the soon-coming of our Lord, Jesus Christ, our “Born Again” experience and “Divine Healing.” We are to tell people that Jesus Christ was crucified on a cross for our sins, arose, and is alive today. “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8).Our ministry (service) and mission for God is to:
- Introduce and share Jesus Christ with others.
- Help others to discover God’s purpose for their life (both here and eternity).
- Preparing others for their eternal destiny (God’s Kingdom).
- Encourage others (individuals and business professionals) to “seek God first” in all they do.
God speaks, in the last days He said, ” I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh” (Acts 2:17). “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond or free, there is neither male nor female: for ye all are one in Christ Jesus.” (Galatians 3:26-28)
From a sincere, faith-based position, we should hear, but not listen to any false teachings, place man-made rituals above God’s sovereignty, or succumb to any lies manifested before man as brought on by Satan. Apostle Paul teaches, “But there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the Gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other Gospel unto you that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.” (Galatians 1:7-8)
As Jesus Christ commanded in Luke 10:2-20, “…the field is ready for harvest and the labourers are few…”. (Make time to read and study this Scriptural passage.) There is much to be done in the world today, more than ever before. We “can” make a difference for Christ. We have God’s blessing to do so. |

| Our Philosophy at Christian Times Online |
| Our true heart is that of love and reverence to one almighty, living God. We acknowledge and accept the complete “God-head.” God, the father, Jesus Christ, the son, and the Holy Spirit that lives and reigns within us. We believe in God’s infallible Word, the Holy Bible. We firmly accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and personal Savior. We believe that Jesus Christ sacrificed Himself for the sins of all the world. We believe that through Jesus Christ, we now by faith are saved by God’s perfect grace and mercy as well as enjoy a direct, personal relationship with God the father. We believe that Jesus Christ intercedes for the forgiveness of our sins and has given us His Holy Spirit to indwell within us today and forever. “…And surely I will be with you always, even to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:20) Jesus Christ tells us, “Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.” (Mark 16:15-18) Apostle Paul speaks by authority of the Holy Spirit, It was He who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.” (Ephesians 4:11-13)
In strict compliance and under the authority, obedience, and guidance of God’s inspired Word, the Holy Bible, our calling is to “equip the saints” by providing a learning curriculum of sound biblical doctrine. We expect to encourage, enrich, and empower each student by the gifts of the Holy Spirit; any man or woman that has been called by our Lord to minister, preach, or evangelize in the name of Jesus Christ. Ultimately, through our biblical, self-paced, home study course, we will equip each individual who successfully completes the course with the ordainment education, credentials and deserved recognition to faithfully and confidently follow the command of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ to “Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature.” (Mark 16:15) |

| God’s Call to Challenge Satan’s Ownership of the Internet |
| The Internet has become Satan’s marketplace. The anonymity offered by the Internet provides a domain in which people can cloister their dalliances with sex, gambling and destructive activities that eventually drives them to disconnect with God, taking them off track and into a Satanic, depressive (sloth) spiral. Why do churches shy away from the Internet? Should the church let Satan take over the Internet for his purposes and be conspicuous in its absence? The Biblical answer is NO! While many churches are concerned about being seen in a negative context, didn’t Jesus say we need to go where evil resides and confront it? It is clear there is a charter to fight the Internet’s evil tendencies by infusing more of Him to offset and intervene for God’s children, who are looking in the wrong places to placate their fears and their disconnected nature, moving them toward hope and away from despair in these difficult days. Increasingly, the church body needs to understand and leverage the Internet to battle evil and the misdirection of the churches’ people and their resources. Think about it; if the energy currently being misused on the Internet could be directed to His glory, God’s people can turn the tide and begin to use the Internet for His glory, instead of driving people into further despair and destruction of their lives and families.
Statistically, Oregon, among other states, has the least regular attendees to church and fellowship. So how do we reach them? Increasingly, we need to use the Internet to find them where they are and to provide a rich domain of reflection in which to reach out to people at the lowest point in their spiritual lives.
At Christian Times Online, we see the vision that God has set before us. By working with churches to “think outside the box” and to turn the Internet and its world-wide reach to His glory, we can begin to find families in distress and direct them to resources and people that can balance and provide fulfillment in achieving everything God wants them to be.We encourage you to join us in reaching out to those in need and give them hope!
May almighty God abundantly bless you always. |
