A Fisherman's Last Voyage by Graham Mair


The north-east of Scotland not only has a tradition of fishing but also of a ready response to the preaching of salvation through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. The hazardous nature of fishing in the stormy waters of the North Sea combined with deep piety produced men who not only walked but sailed with God. The author of this book is able to write from his own experience both as a former fisherman and as a man deeply committed to his Saviour. The book is chiefly about his father, William Mair, from when, in his teens, he not only started on his lifelong career fishing but also as a believer in Christ, until his eventual homecall. Fortunately, he kept a diary, which the author has mined to great effect. The author also deals with the spiritual history of that part of Scotland, especially the revivals which periodically occurred and which had such an impact on the people there.

The Bridge to Life

  



Full text of gospel tract:

God loves us and wants us to experience life with Him

The Bible says, “We have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love.” 1 John 4:16
“I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” John 10:10

But our sin separates us from God

“Your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid His face from you, that He will not hear.” Isaiah 59:2
“All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” “The wages of sin is death.” Romans 3:23; 6:23

Jesus died for us and rose again, paying the penalty for our sin

Nothing we can do (good deeds, religion, prayers) will remove our sin and bridge the gap. The only way back to God is through Jesus Christ.
“Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit.” 1 Peter 3:18
“God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8
“By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9
Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.” John 14:6

Will you turn to God and place your trust in Jesus Christ?

Knowing what Jesus did for you is important, but that knowledge will do you no good unless you repent (turn from your way to God’s way) and put your faith (total trust) in Jesus Christ as Savior.
“If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” Romans 10:9

The Shepherds of Bethlehem Season's Greeting Card




Features artwork inspired by photos of shepherds in Israel.

Front: Good tidings of great joy
Inside:
The faithful godly prophets of old
The Son of God had always foretold.
They knew He would be the world’s great light
To shine in sin’s darkest deepest night.
Yet when He came folks couldn’t believe
He was a babe, not King to receive!
Peacefully the Saviour had arrived -
Such humble birth could not be contrived!
Herod sought this Babe to end His life
And that was only the start of strife -
They mocked Him and tried to trick Him up,
But that wasn’t yet the most bitter cup.
One day His own betrayed Him by night;
They stripped Him and His back did they smite.
Perfect Lamb of God - He gave His all -
They gave Him a crown of thorns, and gall
He cried out as God forsook Him there
While He bore our sins with tender care.
His life He gave, in a tomb He lay;
Three days and nights - He did not decay.
Then - what delight! - from the grave He rose -
The tomb was empty, save for His clothes!
This King was seen by those He selected;
To heaven He went - His work perfected!
This Man is Jesus, God’s only Son;
Peace with God for mankind He has won.
This season is a time to reflect -
Will you this gift of God’s love accept?

The Shining Sword by Charles G Coleman


"For the King!" Such is the battle cry of the royal army as soldiers in the service of the King of kings and Lord of lords set out to wage war against the forces of evil. Lanus, a new recruit, finds he has much to learn - about obedience, about failure, about victory. And about the vital importance of putting on the full armor of the King. In this fascinating tale of spiritual warfare, the story of Lanus vividly illustrates the Christian's conflict with Satan. Come along as a new convert trains for conquest by skillfully wielding the ultimate weapon of righteousness, the Sword of the Word of God...

An allegorical portrayal of the Christian's conflict with Satan and the importance of the Word of God.

Good or Bad?



#TMMT16

Full text:
Many people think they will reach Heaven if the good they have done outweighs the bad

What does the Bible say?

“Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.” Daniel 5:27

Our “good” is not good enough:

All our righteousnesses [good deeds] are as filthy rags. Isaiah 64:6

Our “bad” is worse than we think:

All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23

God’s love has provided the way:

Christ [Jesus] also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God. 1 Peter 3:18

The Sweetest Friend



 #TMMT22

Full text:
Jesus, the Son of God, wants you to get to know Him. The problem is that our sin (the bad things we do) keeps us away.

Jesus wants to be your friend

Jesus loves us so much that He gave up His life to pay for our sin. He said, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13

We are forgiven by trusting in Him

When we trust Jesus to be our Savior, we receive “forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.” Ephesians 1:7

You can live forever in Heaven

Jesus said that everyone who “believeth on Me hath everlasting life.” John 6:47
