Celebrating a Life

On September 14, 2011 my cousins, Morty, Susan, and Ross, celebrated the life of their mom, Jane Jones along with myself, Lisa, Bob Richardson, Paula and John Compton (my sister and brother-in-law) and other family members and friends.

Aunt Jane was a long time member of First Baptist Church, Henderson, NC where her funeral service was held. My brother in Christ, cousin, and husband of Susan Jones Richardson (Bob) spoke at the funeral. Bob talked about Aunt Jane, life, death, eternity, and how Jesus “reclaimed his future”! (God bless you both, Bob and Susan, as the Lord uses you in your “Reclaiming Futures” nationwide ministry based in Portland, Oregon.) We sang, laughed, cried and said “AMEN” in unison during the service!

What a blessing it was to see my cousins, remember times we spent together growing up, and to honor Aunt Jane. My heart goes out to my cousins during this time of great loss. However, I am so thankful that Aunt Jane will never suffer for one more moment. She is now safe in the arms of Jesus having left her “earthly tent” behind and free of any earthly hindrance.

If you are reading this and have questions about heaven and eternity, consider two books that have meant much to me in the past few months:

90 Minutes in Heaven by Don Piper
and
Heaven is For Real by Todd Burpo.

Let me tell you what I believe. I believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that heaven is for real! I am looking forward to reuniting with loved ones and friends. I am looking forward to heaven! I don’t deserve to go to heaven, but I am going anyway because of what Jesus has done for me. I believe that anyone and everyone that trusts Jesus Christ with all of their heart will be born again and receive the greatest gift ever given, SALVATION.

A young man once said to me: “Justin, I'm too much of a sinner to be saved.” I told the young man that nobody was too sinful and that Jesus had already paid the debt for his sins, my sins and everybody’s sins! That was over 20 years ago and I still believe it with every fiber of my being!! All I plan to do as long as I’m breathing is share this GOOD NEWS with as many people as I can!!

Life Lessons at Fifty

Saturday, August 20, 2011, Justin and I celebrated our 28th wedding anniversary. It’s amazing that God has sustained us through 28 years of love, life, and full-time Christian ministry! Saturday, September 3, 2011, I celebrated 50 years that God has given me to learn and grow in Him. It’s especially challenging when AARP invites you to join them!! I’m not ready for that yet! In reflecting on my life to this point I thought I’d share with you what God is teaching me.

1-Justin has taught me that “without faith it is impossible to please God” Hebrews 11:6. And “faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1 My faith is that of a mustard seed at times.

2-Mother and Daddy taught me that “love is patient, love is kind, love is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly, love does not seek it’s own.” 1 Corinthians 13:4- 5 They also taught me that “in quietness and confidence(faith)is your strength”. And that God honors & blesses those who faithfully serve Him. Great is thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me.

3-Bob Richardson confirms to me “if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold new things have come.” 2 Corinthians 5:17. Bob, a sober alcoholic, is not ashamed of the gospel of Christ that transforms his life. Shalom, Bob!

4- Jesus continues to teach me amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now I’m found; was blind but now I see .”

5-Jesus proves himself over and over. “I will never leave you, nor forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5. “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul.” Psalm 23:1-3.

Mission Project Update

Monday, Sep 21

I hope you are all having a blessed September and are looking forward to the Fall Season! Our ministry (THE JUSTIN W. JONES EVANGELISTIC ASSOCIATION) is in full gear at Germanton Baptist Church!

Campus Minister and Football Team Chaplain, Joe Haines, baptized Joe Looney, one of the Wake Forest football players on September 6th followed by testimonies from Wake Forest athletes and a luincheon for parents, coaches and players!

On September 13th, a family of 3 joined Germanton as new members!

Former Pastor and my friend, Dennis Collins, is improving every week! Dennis has officially resigned as Pastor at Germanton in order that he might take some much needed time off.

I am taking my Interim Pastorate position month to month as the Lord leads. Please pray for Germanton Baptist as the church family secures a Pastor Search Committee in the days ahead.

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR CONTINUED LOVE FOR US, OUR MINISTRY and THE LORD!!

GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME!!

NOW, A SPECIAL PRAYER REQUEST...

Monday, Sep 21

My long-time friend, Tony Kersey, from Knoxville, TN needs our prayers and support! Tony is now a single parent trying to make ends meet and raise a teenage son. Tony works full-time in a mental care facility (which is beyond stressful) doing all that he can to provide a home for his son, Gabe.

Lisa and I are going to use the Mission Money from our Budget to help Tony with needs he currently has. We feel it is our privilege to help a brother in need.

If anyone would like to help us to help Tony and Gabe, please send a contribution to the Justin W. Jones Evangelistic Association and mark your gift for Missions / Tony Kersey. We so appreciate your prayers and support!

Not Ashamed of the Gospel

Not Ashamed of the Gospel
Romans 1:16

" I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written:
' The righteous will live by faith.' "

Romans 1:16,17 NIV
