Dear Friends and Visitors,
                                      God is doing much for us and through us. He uses those that are willing for if God waited until you had your life right then He would never use you. God does not want everything in your life ordered before He uses you. So many times people say when I am older or wiser or finish this or that then I will come to God but right now I want to have fun. Excuses are given because the bottom line is that people are afraid of the changes that would happen in their life if they committed themselves to Christ or said yes to letting God use them for ministry.
   We at Word of Grace beleive that 1) God does not use us because of our qualifications but in spite of them 2) God uses us because HE wants to share His love through us  3) That the issue is not what we can do for God but what God did for us in Christ Jesus. See the whole focus of God wanting to be a part of your life is because He wants to share His love with you and enable you to share that love with others. God is the greatest individual of all time. HE is the wisest, richest, nicest, gentlest, helpful individual you could ever meet. HE came to earth in the form of a man named Jesus just so he could experience what it is like to be human and then as a human being he died so HE could pay for your sins so that there would be no more separation between Him and you. God can now say that HE is pleased with you because Jesus Christ bridged the gap to make you right before God.
  We hope that you will be blessed by this site and by what you read on it. We focus on the love, mercy and grace of God for we understand that when you truly love someone you do not see their faults but you see the joy you have because they are in your life. God sees that this is my child and does not see or remember that when you were learning to walk you fell over 1,000 times before you could walk, he only remembers that my baby is walking! So come here often so you too can learn how God sees you by His grace and not by your works, for when you learn that then it will bring freedom into every area of your life!
  We have a message by our Pastor this week on deliverance, a devotion by our Asst Pastor Rev Natalie, and a prophecy from our Pastor. We have sayings from our Founder and the Original Pastor of this church Rev John Hogan and you can read the rest of this site to find out more about these messengers of God.

Dear Friends and Visitors,
                                       I am so glad that God is doing so much through this church. I really feel that God is opening doors for us that we could have only imagined before. He is enabling us to share the word of grace with audio tapes and soon we hope to send video tapes also. He is enabling us to share the messages we have with people in other nations and before we started this website we never would have thought this possible. HE is doing so much for us and through us, won't you want to find out about it and be a part of it. There is a donation page that you can send your donation to us over the net or send it to us in the mail. You can read our sermons, messages and devotions or you can copy them and use them as a study guide.
  God is with us and we thank you for visiting this site and believe that it was not by accident. We believe that God led you here because HE wanted you to  learn of His grace so that you can walk in the true freedom that Jesus brings. We desire to show you what God has given to us and continues to reveal to us according to His Spirit. You can go to the direction page and find out how you can attend one of our services or you can email our Pastor if you need help in  getting a prayer answered or have a question about the Word.
 I find it interesting how God confirms His word to me. He does not always use the people in the church to do so. He sometimes uses people I have met online but have never seen. He uses sometimes TV shows and something in that show will say something that goes along with what I read in devotions. God will use many things to reveal Himself to you and the things that He uses do not always have to be spiritual. He can make a donkey talk or an ax float. He is God and can use what he wants when He wants to manifest His glory in your life.
  Too often we get bogged down thinking that God has to do it a certain way or only use certain people. He used Cyrus a gentile king to bless Israel and has used those who did not know Him to bless those who did. He will use whoever listens to you. Also, the devil sometimes will use Christians to bring you hurt and turmoil. The devil will use more then just his crowd to hurt you. You should forgive them and love them as Christ forgave you.
  Walking in love means loving the unlovable and loving the Osama Bin Ladens of the world those who are bent on destruction or who get joy out of bringing hurt into your lives. A Christian should not want to hurt you but want to bless you and love you. Love not because of what they did to you for you but love them because of what Christ did for you. Your love is not because of people but because of God in you, so love him by loving those He puts in your life.
Bless you,
Pastor Don Carson

Dear Brothers and Sisters in the Lord,
                                                        Tell me this: Are you pleased with God? Now we often think about whether God is pleased with us but are you pleased with God. Is God doing for you what you think He should and are you happy with what God has manifested in your life? Although this is a new question and we do not think about it in this way, the vast majority of people are not pleased with what God has done in their life. They complain about all that that they do not have instead of praising Him for all He gave them. They focus on the fact that the cell phone goes out at the wrong times instead of the fact that some do not have a cell phone. They do not see what they really have instead they see what they want. It is said that if you have clothes on your back and a roof over head and food to eat you are among the Richest 1% in the world. You may only have one suit or one pair of shoes but you are still among the richest 1% of the world.
   We define things by what we have instead of by whose we are. We are God's kids if you belong to Jesus you belong to the Father. God builds streets with what we value. He builds streets with gold and we use it for money. God starts where we leave off. What we value now will not be valued in eternity. Human beings have ideas that focus on temporary happiness. Our happiness is fleeting but the joy of the Lord last forever.
  When you are pleased with yourself and see no faults in you then you will be pleased with who God is in you. You cannot be totally pleased with you until you no longer see what is wrong with you. We here at word of Grace have been trying for the last 20 years to encourage you to focus on who you are in Jesus so that the failure mentality of religious thinking would not be your focus. Jesus never fails! You in Jesus never fail either! See your value based on what God says and see yourself by His word and not by your fears or shortcomings! What you see you become! If you see yourself as low and no good then even if you are a prince you will become low and no good. Be pleased with yourself because God is. Trust God's opinion of you and change your perception from a negative religious self righteous image to one that is positive and is based on God's righteousness and not on your flesh!
  The true image is the one that God has and that image is based on Calvary. Line yourself up with that image and you will see yourself without fears or failures. Exalt your Saviour and Redeemer by exalting your salvation for you are the redeemed so say so!

As I write this I am thinking about how great is God! I went through some of the tapes we had of John and were amazed that we were still teaching the same things and in many cases it was said using the exact same words. I find that encouraging that we are still preaching the same gospel that Pastor John taught us. That word was inside of us and there were prophecies back then that we would go to the nations which have come true and they were made by someone no longer attending the church. God confirms His Word!
  I mention this because I want you to know that although there may be some things that are not going right in your life, or situations that you need taken care of and are praying about, God will confirm His word! Some of these situations may be very serious and you need an answer yesterday but God will confirm His Word. God's Word will never change for the thing about God's Word is that it endures forever. I am encouraged by the fact that we are still teaching the same things as Pastor John because there are many times when a founder dies that the organization goes in a new direction. His vision is still alive and the reason for that is that God is keeping that alive in us, so even though John died, the vision and work He had is going forward. We pray that you will become a part of that vision. Some of you may have had a part in the early going but are not actively involved anymore. God does not give temporary calls. He does not call you for a time but calls you for eternity. God gives you a call but God does not change his mind thinking that maybe he made a mistake. God makes no mistake and does not call you without reason.
