Spring has finally arrived and we are fast approaching the 2013 Family Freedom Walk on Saturday, May 11^th.  Last year the Lord brought in over $61,000 which absolutely stunned us.  We would like to invite you to be a part of what God does this year through the walk.  If you can join us that day, call today to register and start getting sponsors (732.350.1187). If you can’t walk with us, please consider being a sponsor.  All the net proceeds go to support the Addiction Recovery Ministries to help restore lives, marriages and families from the devastation of addiction. 

This year our staff is having a friendly competition between the men and the women so it would be great if all our Victory Call readers would sponsor the women’s team for $25.00 but even $5 or $10 will make a difference. This link will take you directly to our webpage if you would give on-line.   Family Freedom Walk Support  or if you prefer you may mail a check to America’s Keswick 601 Route 530 Whiting, NJ 08759 in either case please designate your gift to FFW: Women’s team.

Thank you so much for your support. We appreciate you. 

Blessings,

The Victory Call writers

“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?  Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?”  Romans 8:35

Shall tribulation separate me from the love of Christ?  NO
Shall distress separate me from the love of Christ?  NO

Shall persecution separate me from the love of Christ?  NO
Doesn’t it seem that social tolerance seems to mean tolerance for all beliefs except Christian?  Yet, if and when persecution comes, it does not, can not separate us from the love of Christ.

Shall famine separate me from the love of Christ?  NO
Shall nakedness separate me from the love of Christ?  NO
In America we, in large part, are so disconnected from personal famine and nakedness yet there are people in the United States, and I dare say in your community, who are hungry people. Yet, even famine and nakedness does not, cannot separate us from the love of Christ.

Shall danger separate me from the love of Christ?  NO
Shall sword separate me from the love of Christ?  NO

Lord, it is interesting that You had Paul write “WHO” shall separate me from the love of Christ, not “WHAT” shall separate me…

The answer to both questions is NOTHING/NO ONE can separate me from the love of Christ. 

When Jesus went to the cross – all our sins, all our choices, all our decisions, all our tribulations, all our distress, all our persecution, all our famine, all our nakedness, all our danger and all our swords were still future – yet Christ died for us. 

Nothing, absolutely nothing can rip you out of God’s love for you if you are His daughter.  Oh, what love!! 

Blessings, Diane
