What is Love?

...Love suffers long, and is kind; love envies not; love vaunts not itself, is not puffed up,

...Does not behave itself unseemly, seeks not her own, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil;

...Rejoices not in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;

..Bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

...Love never fails: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

...For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

...But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

...When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.**

...And now abides faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
(1 Corinthians 13: 4-11, 13; Holy Bible)

** I believe one particular verse (v.11) is an apt illustration of prime indicators of a Christian heart and life, thus:
When I was "in the world", I spoke as one "in the world", I understood as one "in the world", I thought as one "in the world": but when I became a Christian, I put away the things "of the world".    -llhjr

GospelWord is an Internet Outreach in Jesus' Name 
by Len Hamilton & Encouraging Words Ministries

A Few Thoughts & Notes for early 2008

I hope your personal ministry is growing and
also that you are strengthening in the Lord daily. We are all working for the Lord's harvest, and we need to grow constantly and be ready to spread the Word whenever and wherever possible.
Be sure to visit The Way Inn Christian Music Center's new website!

The entire Bible now available in spoken form online!
This special site, http://www.audio-bible.com, has some of the best resources for visually impaired --- even blind --- lovers of the Word of God that are equally enjoyable to unimpaired folks as well.

GW is pleased to offer links to Audio-Bible's non-text page, containing every word of the Bible spoken in English. I am unsure about renditions in other languages they may offer at this point. Check out the company's website text and listen to the Bible being spoken here by Alexander Scourby. Speakers and a soundcard in your computer system are required.

Spread the Word! You can now hear the entire Bible through the Internet. Thanks be to God for the neverending encouragement of His word. Need a Bible for your own personal study? Let us know.

The Ten Commandments

1 And God spake all these words, saying,
2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. (1)
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: (2)
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. (3)
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. (4)
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. (5)
13 Thou shalt not kill. (6)
14 Thou shalt not commit adultery. (7)
15 Thou shalt not steal. (8)
16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. (9)
17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's. (10)

Jesus said it!
All Scripture from the King James' Version of 1611, known as the Authorised Version
Scripture excerpted from

Jesus' Sermon on the Mount
from Matthew 7:1-12

1 JUDGE not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

His disciples had asked, "How do we pray?"

The Lord's Prayer
from Matthew 6: 5-15

5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

How can we help?
Encouraging Words! Ministries 

Founded by Len Hamilton in 1994, this ministry is devoted to supplying to help meet the need of those persons and groups requiring God's Word in whatever format and/or context necessary. Where possible, donated materials are requested to be sent directly to involved parties. Occasionally, certain materials may be custom designed and/or written to suit, using resources from a varied array of talented people acting through their personal ministry in Jesus' Name. We happily accept samples of individuals work as may be used in outreach and other Christian ministries. Contact GospelWord for more information.

On occasion, resources are purchased when no other means of fulfillment can be found, or when time is of a crucial essence as demonstrated following the devastation of Hurricane Andrew in 1992, when many hundreds of unique opportunities to witness and nurture could not bear the wait required for other sources of supply. It is believed that "today is the day of salvation" at Encouraging Words!

Upon request, packages of materials ranging from "Welcome New Christian" to specially designed posters and course materials are assembled and sent at no charge to recipients, ranging from individuals to Bible study groups and classes, and missionaries too. Due to the hazards faced by ministry workers in some places, no public registry is kept nor specific addresses distributed in any form, unless requested in writing (not email) by each party involved. Locations to which materials have been sent include the United States, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Central American states.

Materials included and used come from recognized Christian sources. Sometimes a request requires expenses that EWM cannot meet on its own; at such times Christian partners (churches, groups, businesses, individuals, etc.) are told about the need so that the Holy Spirit may work as an intercessor and guide. There is no established funding of EWM but to the glory of God everything done takes place on a "pay as you go" plan of prayer and need. It always works.



Encouraging Words Ministries was registered with the Clerk of Court, at Gloucester Courthouse, Virginia in the spring of 1994, its stated purpose being "encouragement from the Word of God" as listed on Gloucester County court records.
