Special Message:from Don Tipton
Too all who have ears to hear.
If you've never accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord & Savior, please take the time to do it now!
Tomorrow might be to late. The bible says our lives are but a mist, a vapor, here today, and gone tomorrow. None of us know when we will take our last breath, only God knows that, but there is good news, God has made a way for us to have eternal life thru His Son, Jesus Christ, who came to this earth as a man, and bore our sins in His body on the cross. He was crucified & buried, but there is more good news: He arose on the third day from the dead & is now seated at the Father's right hand, and He will come again in glory to judge the living, and the dead. My Friend, you can know this same Jesus, for He is alive and well, and conquered the gates of hell. He went down into hell, and took the keys of death, and the grave from the Satan, and then He arose from the grave. The day He arose from the grave Mary went to the grave side to mourn, and she was met by an angel, who asked her one of the greatest questions ever asked: "Why do you look for the living among the dead. " Why did he say that to a grieving Mary? Glory! I said Glorrrrryyyyy! I shout GLORY! I'll tell you why, because Jesus was no longer dead, He is alive! He is still alive today! And the bible says," The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, and He shall give life to your mortal body! This same Holy Spirit, will not only give you life, He will give you resurrection life!!!!! Think about that for a minute. Jesus was dead laying on a slab of cold hard rock in a tomb that was sealed with a giant stone, and while His lifeless body lay there, all the power of God come rushing into that lifeless body, and death, the same death that claimed every man from Adam on down, could not hold Him in it's grasp, and all those zillions of volts of Holy Ghost electricity, The same Holy Spirit that was hovering over the dark void of this earth, when God said, "Let there be light," and there was light! That same Holy Spirit came rushing into Jesus's lifeless body, and death could not hold Him! He arose, and He is alive! That same Spirit wants to dwell in you, and will dwell in you if you only ask Jesus to come into your life, and He will bring His light, the light of His Eternal Spirit! Death could not hold Him, and there's no reason for you to fear death ever again, because death can not hold you either, if you believe in this same Jesus that rose from the dead! Oh, your physical body will die, but death can not hold you, just like it could not hold Jesus, because He took back the keys of hell, and the grave, and death can not hold you, if you believe in Jesus. Jesus said, "Because I live you shall live also." If you believe in Jesus you have passed from death unto life, and though this mortal body will one day pass away, you will live forever, if you believe in Jesus Christ the Son of the Living God, notice I said, Living God, and that's what you will be too, thru Him, alive unto God, and dead to yourself. The Bible says, " God has set before you, life, and death, blessing, and cursing. Choose you this day Life! Your mortal body will die, but your spirit, which is the real you, will live forever.
The bible also tells us that, No man can come to the Father (GOD) unless he comes thru the Son. (Jesus Christ). It also tells us that, God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whomsoever believes in Him will not perish, but have ever lasting life. John 3:16 It also tells us that if you believe in your heart, and confess with your mouth, that Jesus Christ is Lord, then you will have eternal life. Please take this oppurtunity to receive Christ as your Lord & Savior, or maybe you have asked Jesus into your life at some point but you haven't been serving him like you know you should, you've put yourself & your desires ahead of what God wants for you. You know He only wants what's best for you. Look in your heart you know what's wrong, you need to repent, and turn back to the One True Living God who loves you , and only wants what is best for you. Flee that sin that you've allowed to take hold of your life. Turn back to God, ask for His forgiveness, and like the prodical son, He will greet you with open arms, and clothe you with His robe of righteousness, you too take this time to pray this prayer with me! Just say;
Dear Jesus,
I come before you now, knowing that I am a sinner. I ask you to forgive me of all my sins, and cleanse me from all unrighteousness, and clothe me with your forgiveness, and your robe of rightousness. I repent of all my past failures, and short comings. I know I've missed the mark, but please come into my heart, and my life right now, and fill me with your Holy Spirit, and baptize me in that same Holy Spirit. Teach me to live for you from this day forward. Give me a hunger for your word & a desire to serve you all the days of my life. AMEN!!!!
If you've just prayed that prayer then I'd like to welcome you to the family of God! Drop us an Email at dontipministries@dontipton.com , and tell us about your decision to follow Christ, we'd love to hear from you, and pray for you, and please tell others about us, so we may share the good news of the gospel with them also. We are at www.dontipton.com . Thank you for allowing us to serve you.
I urge you to now find someone & tell them about the decision you just made, for with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Please find a bible believing, Spirit filled church, and attend regularly, and spent time in prayer, and fellowship with God, read the bible daily. There are some links at the top left hand side on each page of this site to aid you in your study of God's Word, and your daily walk with Christ!
May God richly Bless you now & forever!
His Servant, Don Tipton
What do we believe?
WE BELIEVE IN:
The infallible, inspired Word of
God as our rule of faith
and conduct: one sovereign
God expressed in three persons:
Father, Son. and Holy Spirit.
The virgin birth of our Lord
Jesus Christ, and that he was
born both God, and man.
Redemption and regeneration
through faith in the
work of Christ in His death,
burial,and resurrection:
the Baptisim of the Holy
Spirit as the believer's
endowment of power for
service: (Acts 2: 1-4). The
emminent return of the
Lord: the resurrection of
the just and the unjust:
the Church universal as
being all who believe in
Jesus Christ: the local
church as being a body
of believers who have been
converted to Christ and
who have united
themselves under recognized,
delegated authority, and who
assemble together to worship
and are organized to carry
out the Great Commision by the
leading of the Holy Spirit "And
the things that you have heard
from me among many witnesses,
commit these to faithful men
who will be able to teach
others also."
2 Timothy 2:2 Loving, Mending,
