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 Six Hundred & Twenty

Dear friends,  

In this space last week, I wrote that I was reading “Clinging to Hope” by Charles R. Swindoll, who has been a pastor for many years. His messages are available from “Insight for Living” on WCHP – 760 AM – a Christian radio station in Champlain, NY that airs our programmes – “La Voix de l’Ēvangile” on Mondays at 3:00 pm. Karen and I are grateful for this outlet, as well as CKZW – 1650 AM – that broadcasts our programmes on Fridays at 11:00 pm and Saturdays at 11:00 am. When I was young, I enjoyed listening to the radio, including broadcasts of baseball games from St. Louis. The Cardinals were my favourite team until Montreal was awarded a franchise in the late 1960s.

As a teen, I had a newspaper route, delivering “The Montreal Star” to people in my neighbourhood. I enjoyed meeting people from many walks of life (and still do). Years later, I got a job at their competitor, “The Gazette,” and was surprised when a childhood friend became my supervisor. Life is full of surprises, isn’t it?

In “Clinging to Hope” Chuck Swindoll writes: “They never saw it coming. On a cold, quiet Saturday afternoon in a suburban township just outside Detroit, a family of four was getting ready to watch a movie together – mom, dad, and their son and daughter, ages two and four. Then, just before four o’clock, the upstairs playroom exploded in a ball of flames.

An airplane had crashed into their two-story home, tragically killing the pilot and two passengers. One moment that family was sitting cozily on their couch. The next moment they were fleeing for their lives. They went from comfort to calamity in a matter of seconds.”

Chuck Swindoll then examines the book of Job and shares three truths “that will help us walk in the path he cut for us through his own crushing calamities:

  1. Our trials are inevitable.
  2. Our friends are fallible.
  3. Our God is sovereign.
 

When calamity crashes in, remember Job. With his feet firmly fixed on solid theology, he stayed ready for whatever winds of calamity blew in. Follow his example. Place your feet on these steadfast theological foundation stones, and lean into the trials with hope:

  1. Our trials are inevitable; don’t be surprised.
  2. Our friends are fallible; don’t be fooled.
  3. Our God is sovereign; don’t be disillusioned.
 

Having that good theology in place helped Job stay ready so that when calamity came, he didn’t have to get ready. And it can do the same for you.”

Karen and I are grateful for all who pray for us and our family. Sixteen years ago, our oldest daughter, Joëlle, married David in Montreal. Happy anniversary! Please pray for our second daughter, Candace, who is expecting her second child in August.

Scripture for the weekend: “Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.” Psalm 139:23-24 (NLT)

Thought for the weekend: “It is a strange sort of strength which is weak and by its weakness grows stronger. Who ever heard of weak strength? Or more absurd still, that strength is increased by weakness?” – Martin Luther (in reference to the apostle Paul’s thorn in 2 Corinthians 12)

 

By His grace,
