The Bible says, "Those . . . who turn many to righteousness shine like the stars forever and ever." (Daniel 12:3) If we are wise, we will want to turn many to the righteousness that's in Christ, because it is righteousness that delivers us from death. It saves us from God's terrible wrath. Jesus said, "Blessed are they who thirst for righteousness," (Matthew 5:6) but how can we help sin-loving sinners to thirst for righteousness? The answer is that we can use the Law to help them to see their sin in its true light. Remember that it's the Holy Spirit that reproves the world of sin, righteousness and judgment to come. (John 16:8) Using the Law helps the world to understand that they need righteousness, because of the judgment to come. Without perfect righteousness, they will perish under God's wrath.
There goes another minute. Gone forever.
Go share your faith while you still have time.

Cyd Mizell
I found out some very sad news the other day. Some very good friends told me that our friend Cyd who had been teaching in Afghanistan and was Kidnapped a month ago on January 27th with her driver by 6 gunmen. On the 27th of February the Aid group she worked for reported that she was killed by her kidnappers. I have had a hard time with this, as I have thought about it all day. Cyd's driver Abdul Hadi was kidnapped also and killed.
We are deeply grieved to report the apparent deaths of Adul Hadi and Cyd Mizell, Asian Rural Life Development Foundation workers who were kidnapped by gunmen Jan. 26 in Kandahar, Afghanistan.
Although we have no confirmation of their deaths, we have received information over the past few days indicating that our two aid workers have been killed. . Hadi, a resident of Kandahar, had served as an ARLDF driver for two years. Known by colleagues as a
“kind, loving man,” he was the father of five children, ages 6 to 15. Mizell, 50, a native of Eureka, Calif., dedicated her life to serving the people of Afghanistan. Since 2005
she had lived in Kandahar,I am the resurrection and the life. He whobeliev
es in Me, though he may die, he shall live. -Jesus
