News

We have a wondrous new tool to help you in your Bible reading efforts!

https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?ii=807161&c=cart&aff=140005&ejc=2&cl=135896

A Bible reading checklist in "Excel" that keeps track of your progress with all kinds of cool graphs and tracking features along with stats on words, verses, encouraging facts, etc. This is also a fund-raising opportunity for us that we think could be a successful addition to your church or ministry spiritual arsenal.

See our U-Tube on how it works!

We need your help!

We have a $150K shortfall, and we need your partnership to make our obligations and keep this ministry going!

New Blog: www.heartafterchrist.org

Hot off the press, see our Director's new Newsletter!

Please keep us in prayer; we are facing enormous spiritual warfare and difficulties against us as staff, ministry workers and the ministry. We need your fervent prayers and people to step up with support to continue this ministry, be blessed and thank-you!

Monthly Bible Study Article

The Incarnation of Christ

The incarnation is exemplified in the Christmas story as God's angels worshiped Him. Angels worship Christ as they proclaimed His superiority by worshiping Him. Christ is superior and greater than any angel, deity, thought, religion, ritual, philosophy, idea, role or priesthood, or any tradition; He supersedes any decree of any religion, Prophets or Law (Heb. 2:5-18).

Do you just see a baby Jesus or do you see LORD Jesus?

Monthly Leadership Article

How to lead a person to Christ

Whatever approach you use, never argue or condemn the other person's beliefs. Focus on God's love for the person, Jesus' death on the cross for our sins, His resurrection, and the person's need to make a commitment to follow Christ. Invite the person to actually pray with you and commit his or her life to Christ.

We Need Your Partnership! Why?

What happens when you support us?

Your gift is not only supporting us to do ministry, but you partner with us to come along side to do real ministry to other pastors too. You help those in ministry who have no means to go to higher education or receive seminary level educational resources or the means to pastor their flock effectively.

Why should you support Into Thy Word?

Church Growth Tip of the Week Good Biblical teaching and preaching will provide the Holy Spirit with fuel that energizes people and facilitates growth. The biggest growing churches are the ones who preach the Word with power, conviction, and in truth, such as Calvary Chapel (Acts 2:17-39)! Prayer Guide for your Church and Pastor Pray that your church family gives Christ real, authentic adoration, praise, impassioned worship, and glory both in private and collectively as a Church, and that worship is never a show, entertainment, or talent focused, rather making God the audience to our praise (Gal. 6:14).

"When he had called together all the people's chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Messiah was to be born. In Bethlehem in Judea, they replied, for this is what the prophet has written: "But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel."

Matthew 2:4-6
