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 & Fifty Nine

Dear friends,  
 

On Tuesday, in our weekly Bible study group on Zoom, as I was reading a line from my notes, I realized that I had overlooked a typing mistake when I printed the notes: “Agrippa II was the bother of Drusilla, Felix’s wife.” The letter “r” that was missing from the word “brother” makes an interesting difference in the meaning of the sentence. As I was typing the first line of today’s blog, I noticed that I had missed a letter in the word “line.” It was the letter “n” which would have drastically changed what I intended to write. Just as one letter can make a big difference in what we write, so one person can make a big difference in our life.

On Monday night, Karen and I went to a birthday party for a friend whose wife went to be with the Lord last year. Remembering how much pain Dianne suffered helped us understand how much David loved his wife and missed her. In studying the book of Acts, our men’s group has seen that some of the marital relationships described in God’s Word were not what God intended. For example, in Acts 25:13, we read “… King Agrippa and Bernice came to Caesarea to greet Festus.” The late Robert Munn observed: “Bernice was Agrippa’s own sister. She had married Agrippa’s uncle but at the moment of Paul’s trial she was living as her brother’s common-law wife. It was before this incestuous and infamous couple that the apostle Paul had his last trial before embarking for Rome.” If you would like to follow this course, which is available in English and French, please let me know and I would be glad to send it to you.

In his commentary on Paul’s speech in Acts 26, the late Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe observes five statements that summarize Paul’s defense:

Acts 26:4-11 – “I lived a Pharisee”Paul’s early life in Jerusalem was known to the Jews, so there was no need to go into great detail. It was because of his convictions about the resurrection and “the hope of Israel” that he was now a prisoner (Acts 23:6; 24:15). The Greeks and Romans would not believe in the doctrine of the resurrection (Acts 17:31-32), nor would the Sadducees who were present (Acts 23:8). To Paul, this was a crucial doctrine, for if there is no resurrection, then Jesus Christ was not raised and Paul had no gospel to preach. (For Paul’s argument about the resurrection and the gospel, see 1 Corinthians 15.)

Acts 26:12-13 – “I saw a light” Not content to limit his work to Jerusalem, Paul had asked for authority to visit the synagogues in distant cities. His zeal had driven out many of the believers and they had taken their message to Jews in other communities (Acts 8:4). Paul had been a self-righteous Pharisee who needed to discover that his good works and respectable character could never save him and take him to heaven (Philippians 3:1-11).

The light that Paul saw was supernatural, for it was the glory of God revealed from heaven (compare Acts 7:2, 55-56). It actually blinded Paul for three days (Acts 9:8-9), but his spiritual eyes had been opened to behold the living Christ (2 Corinthians 4:3-6). But seeing a light was not enough; he also had to hear the Word of God.

Acts 26:14-18 – “I heard a voice”Paul’s companions had seen the light, but not the Lord, and they had heard a sound, but they could not understand the words. They all fell to the earth, but only Paul remained there (Acts 9:7). Jesus Christ spoke to Paul in the familiar Aramaic tongue of the Jews, called him by name, and told him it was futile for him to continue fighting the Lord. In that moment, Paul made two surprising discoveries: Jesus of Nazareth was alive, and He was so united to His people that their suffering was His suffering!

Acts 26:19-21 – “I was not disobedient”Paul began to serve the Lord in Damascus and it almost cost him his life (Acts 9:20-25). Likewise, when he had witnessed to the Jews in Jerusalem, they attempted to kill him (Acts 9:29-30). In spite of repeated discouragements and dangers, Paul had remained obedient to the call and the vision that Jesus Christ gave him. Nothing moved him (Acts 20:24)!

Acts 26:22-32 – “I continue unto this day”Paul was saved by God’s grace and enabled to serve by God’s grace (1 Corinthians 15:10). The one word that best summarizes Paul’s life and ministry is “witnessing” (see Acts 26:16). He simply shared with others what he had learned and experienced as a follower of Jesus Christ.

May we be diligent to study God’s Word and share it with many who need to know how much God loves them.

Scripture for the weekend: “I will deliver you from the Jewish people, as well as from the Gentiles, to whom I now send you, to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.” Acts 26:17-18 (NKJV)

Thought for the weekend: “I learned He never gives a thorn without this added grace, He takes the thorn to pin aside the veil which hides His face.” – Martha Snell Nicholson (from her poem “The Thorn”)
