MUSTARD SEED OUTREACH NEWSLETTER FEBRUARY 2018 THE BIBLE TELLS ME THAT LOVE IS PATIENT AND KIND AND THAT I SHOULD LOVE THE LORD WITH ALL MY HEART AND MIND-Mark Lang.
Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice 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 are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will 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. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. (1 Corinthians 13:4-13 NKJV)
JESUS SAID, "LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS I HAVE LOVED YOU." ONE ANOTHER MEANS; YOUR FATHER, YOUR MOTHER, YOUR SISTER, YOUR BROTHER, AND THE NEIGHBOR NEXT STORE. NEED I SAY MORE-Mark Lang?
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. (1 John 4:7 KJV)
THE LOVE OF JESUS IS LIVING IN THIS HEART OF MINE AND IT'S A LOVE THAT IS SIMPLY DIVINE-Mark Lang.
The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. (Romans 5:5b KJV)

MUSTARD SEED OUTREACH NEWSLETTER JANUARY 2018 PROBLEMS MAY TRY TO OVERTAKE YOU. CIRCUMSTANCES MAY TRY TO BREAK YOU BUT JESUS WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU-Mark Lang.
Jesus said, “Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.
The hope for your new year can be as bright as the promises of God. The Bible offers you confidence for the future--not based on your own ingenuity or determination, but on the love and mercy of God. Nothing in the coming year--rising prices, unemployment, family problems--yes, nothing can change this solid hope.
The prophet Jeremiah knew the secret: "Blessed (happy) is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is" (Jeremiah 17:7). God--the all-powerful Creator and Sustainer of the universe, who cares about your every problem--this God alone can build a secure future for you.
The person who has never trusted Jesus Christ may see life as hopeless. And, in the final analysis, he is right, for without Christ he "has no hope, and (is) without God in the world" (Ephesians 2:12).
But Jesus Christ offers what you could never purchase and no one can take from you...
...love that is not based on your feelings or merits but on the never-ending mercies of God (Romans 5:8).
...freedom to know and enjoy God because Jesus Christ has taken the punishment for your sins (1 Peter 3:18).
...friendship that will never disappoint you because Jesus promised, "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee" (Hebrews 13:5).
...a reason for living because following Christ gives true meaning and purpose to life (John 14:6).
...an unshakeable future firmly based on Christ's promise: "I will come again" (John 14:3).
...an eternal home where the killjoys of earth--selfishness, hatred, death--will all be gone (Revelation 21:4).
As you enter this new year, you can depend on yourself and wish for the best, or you can put your hope in God. Through faith in His Word you can be filled with hope that will never fail and life that will never end.
"Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord His God" (Psalm 146:5).

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. (Matthew 5:16)
MUSTARD SEED OUTREACH NEWSLETTER OCTOBER 2017
ME NO CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN BECAUSE THE DEVIL IS LOW DOWN AND MEAN-Mark Lang.
Jesus said, "I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved,
and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not, but for
to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have
life, and that they might have it more abundantly." (John 10:9-10 KJV)
DE DEVIL ALWAYS BE LYIN.' ONE DAY IN THE LAKE OF FIRE HE BE FRYIN.'
He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because
there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own:
for he is a liar, and the father of it. (John 8:44b KJV)
THE DEVIL COMES IN MANY DISGUISES. HE IS FULL OF TRICKS AND SURPRISES.
Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. (2 Corinthians 11:14 RSV)
I AM STRONG IN THE LORD AND IN THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT. I HAVE CAST OFF THE
WORKS OF DARKNESS AND PUT ON THE ARMOR OF LIGHT-Mark Lang.
The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the
works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. (Romans 13:12
KJV)
STAND FAST IN THE LORD AND GREAT WILL BE YOUR REWARD.
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his
might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand
against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and
blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of
the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to
withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore,
having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of
righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of
peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able
to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of
salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying
always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching
thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; And for
me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly,
to make known the mystery of the gospel.(Ephesians 6:10-19 KJV)

MUSTARD SEED OUTREACH NEWSLETTER JULY 2017 THERE IS ONLY ONE SURE FOUNDATION UPON WHICH TO BUIlD A NATION AND THAT IS JESUS THE ROCK OF OUR SALVATION-Mark Lang.
O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock
of our salvation. (Psalms 95:1 KJV)
IN GOD WE TRUST IS WRITTEN ON OUR MONEY BUT IS IT WRITTEN ON OUR HEARTS-Mark Lang.
Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.
(Proverbs 14:34 KJV)
Printed boldly on the back of United States currency is the motto “In God
We Trust.” We have seen it so often that it may have lost its meaning to
us. But found in these words is the secret to national and personal
greatness.
Webster’s Dictionary defines the word trust as “a firm belief or
confidence in the honesty, integrity, reliability and justice of another
person or thing.”
When our founding fathers signed their names to the Declaration of
Independence, they believed that God was the only sure foundation upon
which to build a nation that would endure. These men knew that this unique
experiment in freedom would only stand the test of time by God's grace.
George Washington stated it simply, “It is impossible to rightly govern
the world without God and the Bible.”
Reliance upon God was deeply rooted in our country's important documents
and institutions from the beginning. But today confidence in God and His
Word is no longer the foundation of society.
In our schools the God of Creation has been replaced by the “god” of
evolutionary chance. Truth has been replaced by relativism. Morality has
been set aside in favor of “political correctness.”
In our homes we nightly view things that were unimaginable on television
and in movies only a decade ago. Violence, sexual perversion and obscene
language spill off the screen.
In government, God’s principles of truth and justice have often given way
to personal and political advantage, personal profit, and compromise.
As we have departed from God, life has been devalued. The lives of unborn
children are snuffed out in abortion clinics and the number of robberies,
rapes and murders increase daily.
It is time that we return to the values of God’s Word in our public and
private lives so that He will heal our people and our land. We must begin
person by person on our knees, confessing our failure to trust God fully
in our lives.
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and
pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear
from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. (2
Chronicles 7:14 KJV)

MUSTARD SEED OUTREACH NEWSLETTER AUGUST 2017
HOW TO RAISE YOUR HOPE LEVEL
IF YOU WANT TO RAISE YOUR HOPE LEVEL TRUST IN THE LORD AND RESIST THE DEVIL-Mark & Ginger Lang.
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me?
hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my
countenance, and my God. (Psalms 42:11 KJV)
CAST ALL YOUR ANXIETIES ON JESUS CHRIST FOR HE CARES ABOUT YOU.
Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in
due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. Be sober,
be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring
lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith,
knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in
the world. (1 Peter 5:6-9 NKJV)
IT IS GOD THAT GIVES YOU THE POWER TO GET WEALTH. MAY HE PROSPER YOU AND
KEEP YOU IN GOOD HEALTH-Mark Lang.
And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you
power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to
your fathers, as it is this day. (Deuteronomy 8:18 NKJV)
Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea,
let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure
in the prosperity of his servant. (Psalms 35:27 KJV)
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in
health, even as thy soul prospereth. (3 John 1:2 KJV)
MAY THE LORD BE MERCIFUL UNTO YOU. MAY HE BLESS YOU AND CAUSE HIS FACE TO
SHINE UPON YOU.
<<To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm or Song.>> God be merciful
unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah. That
thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations.
(Psalms 67:1-2 KJV)
SOME PEOPLE ARE WISE ONLY IN THEIR OWN EYES.
Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It
shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones. (Proverbs 3:7-8
KJV)
My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them
not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For
they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
(Proverbs 4:20-22 KJV)
DEATH AND LIFE ARE IN THE POWER OF THE TONGUE.
There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of
the wise is health. (Proverbs 12:18 KJV)
I AM AN AMBASSADOR FOR THE KING OF KINGS AND HE IS RISEN WITH HEALING IN
HIS WINGS-Mark Lang.
A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is
health. (Proverbs 13:17 KJV)
PLEASANT WORDS ARE SWEET TO THE SOUL SO FROM YOUR MOUTH LET THEM FLOW-Mark
& Ginger Lang.
Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the
bones. (Proverbs 16:24 KJV)
MAY YOUR LIGHT BREAK FORTH AS THE MORNING, AND YOUR HEALTH SPRING FORTH
SPEEDILY.
Is this not the fast that I have chosen: To loose the bonds of wickedness,
To undo the heavy burdens, To let the oppressed go free, And that you
break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, And that
you bring to your house the poor who are cast out; When you see the naked,
that you cover him, And not hide yourself from your own flesh? Then your
light shall break forth like the morning, Your healing shall spring forth
speedily, And your righteousness shall go before you; The glory of the
LORD shall be your rear guard. (Isaiah 58:6-8 NKJV)
JESUS IS THE HEALER OF THE BODY AND THE SAVIOR OF THE SOUL. IF YOU ARE A
BROKEN MAN HE CAN MAKE YOU WHOLE-Mark Lang.
For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds,
saith the LORD. (Jeremiah 30:17a KJV)
SIN IS THE DISEASE. CHRIST IS THE CURE. ONLY THE BLOOD OF JESUS CAN MAKE
YOU PURE-Mark Lang.
Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will
reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth. (Jeremiah 33:6 KJV)

MUSTARD SEED OUTREACH NEWSLETTER SEPTEMBER 2017
SOLOMON SAID, "THERE IS A TIME FOR EVERY PURPOSE UNDER HEAVEN."
JESUS ROSE FROM THE DEAD AND HE IS STILL LIVIN'-Mark Lang.
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the
heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time
to pluck up that which is planted. (Ecclesiastes 3:1-2 KJV)
Jesus said, "I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive
for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death." (Revelation
1:18 KJV)
MY LIFE IS LIKE A VAPOR. IT WILL SOON VANISH AWAY. THEN I WILL STAND
BEFORE CHRIST ON JUDGMENT DAY-Mark Lang.
It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.
(Hebrews 9:27 KJV)
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one
may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done,
whether it be good or bad. (2 Corinthians 5:10 KJV)
Go to now, ye that say, Today or tomorrow we will go into such a city,
and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: Whereas ye know
not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a
vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
(James 4:13-14 KJV)
MY LIFE IS LIKE A TALE THAT IS TOLD. SOMEDAY I WILL DIE AND FLY AWAY TO A
LAND WHERE I WILL NEVER GROW OLD-Mark Lang.
Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of
thy countenance. For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend
our years as a tale that is told. The days of our years are threescore
years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet
is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly
away. Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so
is thy wrath. So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts
unto wisdom. (Psalms 90:8-12 KJV)

2ND MUSTARD SEED NEWSLETTER FOR DECEMBER 2017 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. (John 1:1-4 KJV) Jesus said: I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. (John 8:12 KJV) Jesus came to be "The Christmas Light of the World." My favorite Christmas carol is "Silent Night." But this great song is not about darkness. It's about the Christmas Light that shines so bright! The third verse of "Silent Night" says,
Silent Night! Holy Night!
Son of God, love's pure light!
Radiant beams from Thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth!
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth!
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. (John 1:14 KJV)
For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. (John 1:17 KJV)
The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined. (Isaiah 9:2 KJV)
I sing at Christmas because God has given me something to sing about. I no longer walk in darkness. I no longer dwell in the land of the shadow of death, the Light of the world has shined in my heart and set me free. Now Jesus wants me to be a Christmas light for all the world to see.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. (Matthew 5:16 KJV)
