This is my favorite way to eat salmon always moist and delicious
I take a big salmon fillet like a whole salmon piece and I steam it for like 17 Min's in a steamer with Mrs. Dash(the spice) heavy coated all over top of salmon. It is great you can serve with rice and veggies. Also good with a salad first and put on top of stir fry veggies.
Healthy and delicious
All my love and His from above,

"People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness; they may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough. Give the world the best you've got anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway."

There are many great and precious promises in the Bible
There are many great and precious promises in the Bible. In the Book of John
Chapters 14, 15 and 16 we are told by the Lord that God will give us what we
ask for in the name of Jesus. In Matthew chapter 7 we are told to "Ask, and
it shall be given you." The 37th Psalm tells us that He will give us the
"desires of our heart."
Today, I want to give you a promise in the Bible that will literally
transform your life. They are 6 words spoken by Jesus that can make all the
difference in your life this very moment. Individually, they are just 6
common words. But put together as they were by our Lord, they give us one of
the greatest promises we have in God's Word. This is YOUR promise today!
"ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD." (Mark 10:27)
That means if you are sick in your body, God can heal you! That means if you
need a financial miracle, God is your source! That means if your marriage is
in trouble, God can restore it! That means if you need a job, God can open
the doors for employment! That means if you are in some form of bondage, God
can set you free! That means if your children are away from God, God can
bring them home! That means if you have lost a loved one, God can ease the
pain! No matter what your need is today, God is able to meet that need!
YOUR promise today is 6 words from Jesus, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD!
I want you to take a moment right now, and pray about the most important
thing you need from God today. There is not one person who is reading this
that doesn't need something from God. If you could ask God for anything,
anything at all, what would it be? The fact is, you CAN ask God for
anything, you have been told in His Word to ask for anything, so now it is
time.
I want you to focus on the one thing that you want from God and pray this
simple prayer. "Dear God, I know that your Word is true, and I believe today
that all things are possible with You. I want (insert here the one thing you
want from God). In Jesus name, AMEN!"
I love you and care about you so much. Now is the time to make your faith
real and believe God's Word. There is nothing wrong in your life today that
God can't fix. I want you to know that I will be standing in agreement with
you for the one thing that you have asked God for today. I am believing with
you for that need you prayed for to be met. Remember God's promise for you
today, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD!
In His love and service,
Your friend and brother in Christ,

SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE!
Once upon a time, a friendly, ambitious woman went into a beautiful store with a reputation for quality merchandise. She said to the owner, “Sir, I would like to work for you. I'll work hard. I'll do a great job, but I ask the following in return:”
1.For everything I sell, I want to keep 50% as my commission.
2.I will get others to sell for you too, and I want to be paid commission on everything they sell forever, say 5% to 15%.
3.I want to work my own hours and have no quotas, so that sometimes I can work a lot, but sometimes, I'll take off for a day or two…or a week…or even longer…whenever I want to.
4.My family must always come first.
5.When I do well, I want ample recognition and good bonuses… not meaningless little things but things like Gold and fine jewelry.
6.I want to be able to promote myself to management entirely through my own efforts if I want it, not because you want me to. My promotions must include meaningful salary increases.
7.I would also like an annual Luxury Vacation, all expenses paid by you, of course. And if I work really hard, my husband or friend can come too.
This is what I would like; can you give me these things?” The store owner was in shock! Finally, he began to laugh, and in a condescending tone said, “No, I can't give you even one of these things you asked for. And I'll bet that you won't find such an opportunity anywhere!
BUT WE IN COOKIE LEE KNOW THAT THERE IS SUCH AN OPPORTUNITY!!
IT’S HERE WITH COOKIE LEE!!!
It’s great to be your own boss!
Tax benefits too!
No territories…No sales quotas…No show quotas…No formal presentations required!!!
You decide how much you want to earn!
You have everything to gain and nothing to lose by trying Cookie Lee Jewelry. This is an excellent business, and it’s easy, thrilling, and profitable!! We have great training and a product that sells itself!! We believe in you – give yourself the chance to succeed.

Cookie Lee Independent Jewelry Consultant

I LOVE this business!
Thank you so much for your interest in becoming a Cookie Lee Jewelry Consultant.
First, anyone can sell Cookie Lee jewelry. In fact, you will find that the jewelry practically sells itself…if you can wear it, you can sell it! Most everyone loves to wear nice jewelry, but not everyone can afford the expense. Now you can help your friends, family, business acquaintances and others to enjoy wearing designer-inspired jewelry at affordable prices.
There are several ways to begin selling Cookie Lee Jewelry. Attached, you will find a sheet detailing the two different Start-Up Costs. Once you make your initial minimum order, you will enjoy the immediate benefit of earning a 50% gross profit on all your retail sales.
Because there is no “pre-chosen” package or kit of jewelry, you can choose those jewelry items that you want to sell (or keep for yourself). Your decision should be based on what fits best with your personal goals and your budget. A good rule to follow is if you would like to carry some inventory and start holding home parties/shows, then the Best Value Option 2 would be better than Option 1.
Once you decide which option you want to go with, you simply need to complete the Consultant Agreement. If you are near one of our showroom/distribution centers, you can choose your jewelry from thousands of items and take it home with you that day! You'll get your tote bag full of your training materials, a tour of the facility and meet our fabulous support staff.
Our showroom locations are:
Irvine, CA Las Vegas, NV
Phoenix AZ Riverside, CA
San Diego, CA Seattle, WA
Salt Lake City, UT Detroit, MI
Sacramento, CA Portland, OR
Please note that showrooms are NOT retail stores and are NOT open to the public. Only consultants may shop at the showrooms which are filled with thousands of pieces of Cookie Lee’s jewelry! If you're not near a showroom city, then our web site affords you the opportunity to order online and have your items shipped right to you.
The company growth of the past few years has been phenomenal and YOU can be a part of it too! Of course, I am happy to discuss any details or questions you have in making your decision to become a Cookie Lee Consultant. I will check back with you after you have had an opportunity to review all this material. I look forward to welcoming you to my team!
Thanks again and God Bless,

My Cookie Lee Story
I decided to sign up with Cookie Lee because I have always loved jewelry. When I started talking to my girl friend, another cookie lee member, and she told me about the opportunity, I couldn't believe the 50% profit. When I looked at the jewelry, I was even more impressed. It was absolutely the kind of jewelry I would wear, and not only that, it was jewelry that I knew my friends and family would wear as well! I had recently lost my job, and was looking for some way to make some extra money (Our company does not have quotas or minimum order requirements.) It took me about a month to get up the money and orders together to join, but I managed to get it all together,it was an amazing experience! All that jewelry, right at my fingertips! I wanted to get it all!
There are two ways to earn money in Cookie Lee: #1 sell jewelry and #2 build a team. There is no requirement to build a team, but if you want to, it is a way to earn money (residual income) each month while not selling jewelry. Last year one of (our up line) “team” commission checks totaled over $65,000. And, I earn money selling jewelry too!
Want to earn a car? Cookie Lee pays for the lease each month on a Mercedes Benz! Build a team and earn your car!
YOU CAN EARN FREE TRIPS TOO… Cookie Sisters have earned all expenses paid trips on an Alaskan Cruise, a Club Med trip to Cancan, a Hawaiian Cruise, a trip to Turks & Caicos and this year they are headed to Jamaica and Arizona! The trip you can this year is to Waikiki, Hawaii - you have all of 2008 to earn free tickets.
Our History
Driven by her desire to have a business that allowed her to be at home with her children, Cookie Lee began selling jewelry to her friends and family in 1985. As her business grew, she recognized that selling Cookie Lee jewelry could empower other women to build a business of their own. So, in 1992, Cookie Lee jewelry was offered as a direct sales company to the public.
Cookie Lee has a reputation for offering the latest in affordable, high quality fashion accessories. Inspired by contemporary and classic designs, Cookie Lee jewelry is delivered directly to customers through home shows, office shows, fundraiser's and personal shopping by an ever-growing base of independent consultants.
Whether you are shopping for jewelry, want to share Cookie Lee with friends and family at a home show, or see the opportunity to start a business with a progressive, fast-growing company, Cookie Lee jewelry offers something for everyone.
The Company Is Growing!
We Need All Types Of Consultants!
Which One Best Describes You?
“HOBBY CONSULTANT”
Holds 1 show a week and has a ton of fun!
“PART-TIME CONSULTANT”
Holds 2 shows a week (much like a part-time job) and may consider building a team in the future.
“FULL-TIME” CONSULTANT”
Holds 3 shows a week and treats Cookie Lee as a serious career and business by building her own team and selling jewelry.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW DO I BOOK HOME PARTIES/SHOWS?
Your number one key to a successful start is to ASK everyone you know to help you as you launch your new business. Concentrate first on your family and immediate circle of friends. Your goal will be to hold 6 home shows in your first 4 to 6 weeks. Work you business according to your weekly home show goals.
Carry your tote bag and wear your jewelry every day. When holding shows, simply ask each person as you write up their order, “Would you like to get your most expensive item at half price tonight by holding your own girls night home show?”
HOW WILL I GET TRAINED?
Your up line team includes consultants who are here to help you. When you are part of my team, training is bountiful! There are conference call training's once a month; unit meetings once a month, management conference call meetings once a month; individual training's to get you off to a good start; an introductory/training show; and our very fun Quick start to Success classes. We pride ourselves on being the best trained unit in Cookie Lee!
HOW DO I CONDUCT A FUNDRAISER?
A fundraiser is a jewelry show where a percentage of the profit is donated instead of free jewelry. The percentage amount that is donated is completely up to you. Establish a percentage that you are comfortable with and stick with it so you are not giving different percentages to every organization. A good rule of thumb is 20%. A fundraiser can be done at home or in a business setting. A hostess may opt to raise money for a particular cause instead of taking the free jewelry.
There are many ways to structure a fundraiser but one thing that will ensure success is participation. Giving individuals who are involved with the cause a minimum amount of orders to turn in is a great way to get sales increased and everyone excited. For instance, if you have each member of a group responsible for 10 outside orders before the event, this will increase the total of the fundraiser and make everyone part of the event.
Also giving a separate cash donation (i.e., $10.00 or $15.00) for each home show booked increases the fund’s money, but also creates more business for the consultant. If the event is going to have a large attendance, you might use a separate table to take orders only. In other words, have a cash-and-carry table and an order table. For very large events, you may want to enlist the help of a family member (or possibly someone from the fundraiser) to help take cash or credit cards for items at the show, while you write up orders for other items not immediately available in your inventory.
ARE THERE ANY MONTHLY QUOTAS TO MEET?
No. A wonderful thing about Cookie Lee is that as a Consultant you can buy one pair of earrings and still receive the same discount of 50%. The company requires that for you to remain an active consultant, you must purchase a minimum of $300.00 wholesale per calendar year and you can do this an item at a time since there are no minimum order requirements. When you have achieved a management level by recruiting others into your organization, there is a minimum monthly purchase required for you to receive your commission check. However, there is no requirement to recruit; you can work this business as you see fit.
HOW DO I PAY MY HOSTESS AT THE END OF THE SHOW?
Your hostess is paid in free jewelry and ½ off jewelry, not cash. Ideally, you want to encourage her to pick out her free jewelry from your table, but if there is something that she wants that you don't have you must order the item(s) from the showroom.
HOW MANY PIECES WILL I GET WHEN I SIGN UP UNDER OPTION 2 – BEST VALUE?
On average, you will get between 50 and 60 pieces depending on the cost of the items that you choose.
WHAT COMES IN MY FIRST KIT?
Essentially, we do not have a “kit”. Your inventory items are picked exclusively by you with your sponsor’s help. Remember a very important thing about your inventory – it is IMMEDIATELY SALEABLE. Therefore, you can recoup your investment very quickly.
Along with your inventory you will receive business supplies, training CDs and DVD's. In addition, all jewelry comes in a clear plastic bag and is tagged for immediate sale.
CAN I RETURN WHAT I DON'T SELL?
No. Eventually all our beautiful jewelry sells. The company will repair or replace any jewelry that has a manufacturer defect for a year from it’s sold out date. And there is a repair department in each showroom or you can simply mail the jewelry to be repaired to the corporate office in Irvine, CA.
HOW MUCH MONEY CAN I EARN?
The amount of money you earn is entirely up to you. It is based on your effort and willingness to work the business. Your net profit from the sale of the jewelry is 50%.
HOW MUCH CAN I EXPECT TO SELL AT AN AVERAGE SHOW?
My experience has been that the average home show is usually around $400 to $500 in retail sales...your profit would be half that. This amount tends to increase during the busy fall season when people are shopping for holiday gifts.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO SPONSOR SOMEONE?
You will become someone’s sponsor by signing her up to become a Cookie Lee Consultant. Your job as a sponsor will be to mentor and train your new consultant. Once you become a sponsor you will receive commission on your consultants’ wholesale purchases directly from Cookie Lee on the 15th of each month.

SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE!
Once upon a time, a friendly, ambitious woman went into a beautiful store with a reputation for quality merchandise. She said to the owner, “Sir, I would like to work for you. I'll work hard. I'll do a great job, but I ask the following in return:”
1.For everything I sell, I want to keep 50% as my commission.
2.I will get others to sell for you too, and I want to be paid commission on everything they sell forever, say 5% to 15%.
3.I want to work my own hours and have no quotas, so that sometimes I can work a lot, but sometimes, I'll take off for a day or two…or a week…or even longer…whenever I want to.
4.My family must always come first.
5.When I do well, I want ample recognition and good bonuses… not meaningless little things but things like Gold and fine jewelry.
6.I want to be able to promote myself to management entirely through my own efforts if I want it, not because you want me to. My promotions must include meaningful salary increases.
7.I would also like an annual Luxury Vacation, all expenses paid by you, of course. And if I work really hard, my husband or friend can come too.
This is what I would like; can you give me these things?” The store owner was in shock! Finally, he began to laugh, and in a condescending tone said, “No, I can't give you even one of these things you asked for. And I'll bet that you won't find such an opportunity anywhere!

I LOVE this business!
Thank you so much for your interest in becoming a Cookie Lee Jewelry Consultant.
First, anyone can sell Cookie Lee jewelry. In fact, you will find that the jewelry practically sells itself…if you can wear it, you can sell it! Most everyone loves to wear nice jewelry, but not everyone can afford the expense. Now you can help your friends, family, business acquaintances and others to enjoy wearing designer-inspired jewelry at affordable prices.
There are several ways to begin selling Cookie Lee Jewelry. Attached, you will find a sheet detailing the two different Start-Up Costs. Once you make your initial minimum order, you will enjoy the immediate benefit of earning a 50% gross profit on all your retail sales.
Because there is no “pre-chosen” package or kit of jewelry, you can choose those jewelry items that you want to sell (or keep for yourself). Your decision should be based on what fits best with your personal goals and your budget. A good rule to follow is if you would like to carry some inventory and start holding home parties/shows, then the Best Value Option 2 would be better than Option 1.
Once you decide which option you want to go with, you simply need to complete the Consultant Agreement. If you are near one of our showroom/distribution centers, you can choose your jewelry from thousands of items and take it home with you that day! You'll get your tote bag full of your training materials, a tour of the facility and meet our fabulous support staff.
Our showroom locations are:
Irvine, CA Las Vegas, NV
Phoenix AZ Riverside, CA
San Diego, CA Seattle, WA
Salt Lake City, UT Detroit, MI
Sacramento, CA Portland, OR
Please note that showrooms are NOT retail stores and are NOT open to the public. Only consultants may shop at the showrooms which are filled with thousands of pieces of Cookie Lee’s jewelry! If you're not near a showroom city, then our web site affords you the opportunity to order online and have your items shipped right to you.
The company growth of the past few years has been phenomenal and YOU can be a part of it too! Of course, I am happy to discuss any details or questions you have in making your decision to become a Cookie Lee Consultant. I will check back with you after you have had an opportunity to review all this material. I look forward to welcoming you to my team!
Thanks again and God Bless,

My Cookie Lee Story
I decided to sign up with Cookie Lee because I have always loved jewelry. When I started talking to my girl friend, another cookie lee member, and she told me about the opportunity, I couldn't believe the 50% profit. When I looked at the jewelry, I was even more impressed. It was absolutely the kind of jewelry I would wear, and not only that, it was jewelry that I knew my friends and family would wear as well! I had recently lost my job, and was looking for some way to make some extra money (Our company does not have quotas or minimum order requirements.) It took me about a month to get up the money and orders together to join, but I managed to get it all together,it was an amazing experience! All that jewelry, right at my fingertips! I wanted to get it all!
There are two ways to earn money in Cookie Lee: #1 sell jewelry and #2 build a team. There is no requirement to build a team, but if you want to, it is a way to earn money (residual income) each month while not selling jewelry. Last year one of (our up line) “team” commission checks totaled over $65,000. And, I earn money selling jewelry too!
Want to earn a car? Cookie Lee pays for the lease each month on a Mercedes Benz! Build a team and earn your car!
YOU CAN EARN FREE TRIPS TOO… Cookie Sisters have earned all expenses paid trips on an Alaskan Cruise, a Club Med trip to Cancan, a Hawaiian Cruise, a trip to Turks & Caicos and this year they are headed to Jamaica and Arizona! The trip you can this year is to Waikiki, Hawaii - you have all of 2008 to earn free tickets.
Our History
Driven by her desire to have a business that allowed her to be at home with her children, Cookie Lee began selling jewelry to her friends and family in 1985. As her business grew, she recognized that selling Cookie Lee jewelry could empower other women to build a business of their own. So, in 1992, Cookie Lee jewelry was offered as a direct sales company to the public.
Cookie Lee has a reputation for offering the latest in affordable, high quality fashion accessories. Inspired by contemporary and classic designs, Cookie Lee jewelry is delivered directly to customers through home shows, office shows, fundraiser's and personal shopping by an ever-growing base of independent consultants.
Whether you are shopping for jewelry, want to share Cookie Lee with friends and family at a home show, or see the opportunity to start a business with a progressive, fast-growing company, Cookie Lee jewelry offers something for everyone.
The Company Is Growing!
We Need All Types Of Consultants!
Which One Best Describes You?
“HOBBY CONSULTANT”
Holds 1 show a week and has a ton of fun!
“PART-TIME CONSULTANT”
Holds 2 shows a week (much like a part-time job) and may consider building a team in the future.
“FULL-TIME” CONSULTANT”
Holds 3 shows a week and treats Cookie Lee as a serious career and business by building her own team and selling jewelry.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW DO I BOOK HOME PARTIES/SHOWS?
Your number one key to a successful start is to ASK everyone you know to help you as you launch your new business. Concentrate first on your family and immediate circle of friends. Your goal will be to hold 6 home shows in your first 4 to 6 weeks. Work you business according to your weekly home show goals.
Carry your tote bag and wear your jewelry every day. When holding shows, simply ask each person as you write up their order, “Would you like to get your most expensive item at half price tonight by holding your own girls night home show?”
HOW WILL I GET TRAINED?
Your up line team includes consultants who are here to help you. When you are part of my team, training is bountiful! There are conference call training's once a month; unit meetings once a month, management conference call meetings once a month; individual training's to get you off to a good start; an introductory/training show; and our very fun Quick start to Success classes. We pride ourselves on being the best trained unit in Cookie Lee!
HOW DO I CONDUCT A FUNDRAISER?
A fundraiser is a jewelry show where a percentage of the profit is donated instead of free jewelry. The percentage amount that is donated is completely up to you. Establish a percentage that you are comfortable with and stick with it so you are not giving different percentages to every organization. A good rule of thumb is 20%. A fundraiser can be done at home or in a business setting. A hostess may opt to raise money for a particular cause instead of taking the free jewelry.
There are many ways to structure a fundraiser but one thing that will ensure success is participation. Giving individuals who are involved with the cause a minimum amount of orders to turn in is a great way to get sales increased and everyone excited. For instance, if you have each member of a group responsible for 10 outside orders before the event, this will increase the total of the fundraiser and make everyone part of the event.
Also giving a separate cash donation (i.e., $10.00 or $15.00) for each home show booked increases the fund’s money, but also creates more business for the consultant. If the event is going to have a large attendance, you might use a separate table to take orders only. In other words, have a cash-and-carry table and an order table. For very large events, you may want to enlist the help of a family member (or possibly someone from the fundraiser) to help take cash or credit cards for items at the show, while you write up orders for other items not immediately available in your inventory.
ARE THERE ANY MONTHLY QUOTAS TO MEET?
No. A wonderful thing about Cookie Lee is that as a Consultant you can buy one pair of earrings and still receive the same discount of 50%. The company requires that for you to remain an active consultant, you must purchase a minimum of $300.00 wholesale per calendar year and you can do this an item at a time since there are no minimum order requirements. When you have achieved a management level by recruiting others into your organization, there is a minimum monthly purchase required for you to receive your commission check. However, there is no requirement to recruit; you can work this business as you see fit.
HOW DO I PAY MY HOSTESS AT THE END OF THE SHOW?
Your hostess is paid in free jewelry and ½ off jewelry, not cash. Ideally, you want to encourage her to pick out her free jewelry from your table, but if there is something that she wants that you don't have you must order the item(s) from the showroom.
HOW MANY PIECES WILL I GET WHEN I SIGN UP UNDER OPTION 2 – BEST VALUE?
On average, you will get between 50 and 60 pieces depending on the cost of the items that you choose.
WHAT COMES IN MY FIRST KIT?
Essentially, we do not have a “kit”. Your inventory items are picked exclusively by you with your sponsor’s help. Remember a very important thing about your inventory – it is IMMEDIATELY SALEABLE. Therefore, you can recoup your investment very quickly.
Along with your inventory you will receive business supplies, training CDs and DVD's. In addition, all jewelry comes in a clear plastic bag and is tagged for immediate sale.
CAN I RETURN WHAT I DON'T SELL?
No. Eventually all our beautiful jewelry sells. The company will repair or replace any jewelry that has a manufacturer defect for a year from it’s sold out date. And there is a repair department in each showroom or you can simply mail the jewelry to be repaired to the corporate office in Irvine, CA.
HOW MUCH MONEY CAN I EARN?
The amount of money you earn is entirely up to you. It is based on your effort and willingness to work the business. Your net profit from the sale of the jewelry is 50%.
HOW MUCH CAN I EXPECT TO SELL AT AN AVERAGE SHOW?
My experience has been that the average home show is usually around $400 to $500 in retail sales...your profit would be half that. This amount tends to increase during the busy fall season when people are shopping for holiday gifts.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO SPONSOR SOMEONE?
You will become someone’s sponsor by signing her up to become a Cookie Lee Consultant. Your job as a sponsor will be to mentor and train your new consultant. Once you become a sponsor you will receive commission on your consultants’ wholesale purchases directly from Cookie Lee on the 15th of each month.

Spiritual Cleanliness
Spiritual Cleanliness
March 27, 2009
"Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess." (Matthew 23:25)
Three of the eight "woe's" in Matthew 23 deal with a particular aspect of spiritual cleanliness. This one seems to emphasize personal cleanliness. The next verse amplifies the thought: "Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also" (Matthew 23:26
).
The emphasis is on the internal heart. The biblical principle is very clear. If our hearts are not right, our lives will not be righteous. If what is "inside" is not clean, the "outside" will never be clean. Perhaps a list of the more obvious Bible references will help refocus our commitment.
• "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life" (Proverbs 4:23).
• "Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things" (Matthew 12:34-35).
• "Circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God" (Romans 2:29
).
• "Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart" (2 Corinthians 3:3).
May our "cup and platter" be as clean as God's holiness is able to make it and "let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price" (1 Peter 3:4). HMM III

Attention Players:this is your 24 hour guide
Attention Players: This is your 24 Hour Guide
Disclaimer: This article is intended for all the players and pimps. In other words, the inebriated, bottom-dwellers who only think they are men.
First of all, Mr. Hate-the-Game-Not-the-Player, put you shirt back on. We're not impressed with your chest, and regardless of what you think, those aren't abs. They're ribs. That's what happens when you sniff your breakfast in the morning. So, do all of us a favor and quit strutting around half-naked like your God's gift to women. The only person that is paying attention to you is you.
And quit saying you're a "playa"--you're a "player." If you are going to live in this country, try to at least learn our language. Ebonics isn't a language, and it's not cool, hip, or fly to act like you have the vocabulary of a kindergartener. Just because you can impress middle school girls does not make desirable. In fact, it makes you pathetic. I'd rather clean the pan under my refrigerator than hear your "Hit it and quit it" strategy for getting girls.
Speaking of quitting, quit acting like you lived the hard-knocked life, grew up on the streets, and fought your way to success. You grew up in the Hamptons, and the reason you are wearing $200 designer jeans is because Daddy is paying for them. We don't doubt you have money, but we all know it isnt yours. It takes all the skill and intelligence of Spam to have your parents support you when you are 28. You could probably pay your own rent, but your day job working the drive-thru at McDonalds just won't cut it.
We get it--you want sex not intimacy, quickies not quality, lust not love. You drive a big truck, have big bucks, and sport a big ego. I'm sure its all done to compensate for that "little" problem you have in those designer jeans. If you constantly talk about getting laid and getting drunk in the bar, it is usually a good indicator that you have zero confidence and the spine of a jelly-fish. Let it go. We're not impressed.
And just because you dress like a celebrity and hang out with them doesn't make you important. In fact, most of our celebrities aren't important, either, and yet they still wont even give you the time of day. Is it any surprise that most women would rather lick the tire of a farm tractor than give you a kiss? Who knows where your mouth has been.
And one more thing--if you cross, bad-mouth, or intimidate those who demonstrate faith or desire real love one more time, I'm taking the gloves off. You can brag about your threesomes and porn parties all you want, but if you mess with God's people one more time then I'm calling Guido and we are going to turn into six feet of lumps. We won't hesitate to fit you for cement shoes--let's see how smooth you are trying to moonwalk at the bottom of the Potomac.
Real men don't need to rely on sex or money to get a girl's number. We have that one thing you'll never have--class.

SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE!
Once upon a time, a friendly, ambitious woman went into a beautiful store with a reputation for quality merchandise. She said to the owner, “Sir, I would like to work for you. I'll work hard. I'll do a great job, but I ask the following in return:”
1.For everything I sell, I want to keep 50% as my commission.
2.I will get others to sell for you too, and I want to be paid commission on everything they sell forever, say 5% to 15%.
3.I want to work my own hours and have no quotas, so that sometimes I can work a lot, but sometimes, I'll take off for a day or two…or a week…or even longer…whenever I want to.
4.My family must always come first.
5.When I do well, I want ample recognition and good bonuses… not meaningless little things but things like Gold and fine jewelry.
6.I want to be able to promote myself to management entirely through my own efforts if I want it, not because you want me to. My promotions must include meaningful salary increases.
7.I would also like an annual Luxury Vacation, all expenses paid by you, of course. And if I work really hard, my husband or friend can come too.
This is what I would like; can you give me these things?” The store owner was in shock! Finally, he began to laugh, and in a condescending tone said, “No, I can't give you even one of these things you asked for. And I'll bet that you won't find such an opportunity anywhere!

I LOVE this business!
Thank you so much for your interest in becoming a Cookie Lee Jewelry Consultant.
First, anyone can sell Cookie Lee jewelry. In fact, you will find that the jewelry practically sells itself…if you can wear it, you can sell it! Most everyone loves to wear nice jewelry, but not everyone can afford the expense. Now you can help your friends, family, business acquaintances and others to enjoy wearing designer-inspired jewelry at affordable prices.
There are several ways to begin selling Cookie Lee Jewelry. Attached, you will find a sheet detailing the two different Start-Up Costs. Once you make your initial minimum order, you will enjoy the immediate benefit of earning a 50% gross profit on all your retail sales.
Because there is no “pre-chosen” package or kit of jewelry, you can choose those jewelry items that you want to sell (or keep for yourself). Your decision should be based on what fits best with your personal goals and your budget. A good rule to follow is if you would like to carry some inventory and start holding home parties/shows, then the Best Value Option 2 would be better than Option 1.
Once you decide which option you want to go with, you simply need to complete the Consultant Agreement. If you are near one of our showroom/distribution centers, you can choose your jewelry from thousands of items and take it home with you that day! You'll get your tote bag full of your training materials, a tour of the facility and meet our fabulous support staff.
Our showroom locations are:
Irvine, CA Las Vegas, NV
Phoenix AZ Riverside, CA
San Diego, CA Seattle, WA
Salt Lake City, UT Detroit, MI
Sacramento, CA Portland, OR
Please note that showrooms are NOT retail stores and are NOT open to the public. Only consultants may shop at the showrooms which are filled with thousands of pieces of Cookie Lee’s jewelry! If you're not near a showroom city, then our web site affords you the opportunity to order online and have your items shipped right to you.
The company growth of the past few years has been phenomenal and YOU can be a part of it too! Of course, I am happy to discuss any details or questions you have in making your decision to become a Cookie Lee Consultant. I will check back with you after you have had an opportunity to review all this material. I look forward to welcoming you to my team!
Thanks again and God Bless,

My Cookie Lee Story
I decided to sign up with Cookie Lee because I have always loved jewelry. When I started talking to my girl friend, another cookie lee member, and she told me about the opportunity, I couldn't believe the 50% profit. When I looked at the jewelry, I was even more impressed. It was absolutely the kind of jewelry I would wear, and not only that, it was jewelry that I knew my friends and family would wear as well! I had recently lost my job, and was looking for some way to make some extra money (Our company does not have quotas or minimum order requirements.) It took me about a month to get up the money and orders together to join, but I managed to get it all together,it was an amazing experience! All that jewelry, right at my fingertips! I wanted to get it all!
There are two ways to earn money in Cookie Lee: #1 sell jewelry and #2 build a team. There is no requirement to build a team, but if you want to, it is a way to earn money (residual income) each month while not selling jewelry. Last year one of (our up line) “team” commission checks totaled over $65,000. And, I earn money selling jewelry too!
Want to earn a car? Cookie Lee pays for the lease each month on a Mercedes Benz! Build a team and earn your car!
YOU CAN EARN FREE TRIPS TOO… Cookie Sisters have earned all expenses paid trips on an Alaskan Cruise, a Club Med trip to Cancan, a Hawaiian Cruise, a trip to Turks & Caicos and this year they are headed to Jamaica and Arizona! The trip you can this year is to Waikiki, Hawaii - you have all of 2008 to earn free tickets.
Our History
Driven by her desire to have a business that allowed her to be at home with her children, Cookie Lee began selling jewelry to her friends and family in 1985. As her business grew, she recognized that selling Cookie Lee jewelry could empower other women to build a business of their own. So, in 1992, Cookie Lee jewelry was offered as a direct sales company to the public.
Cookie Lee has a reputation for offering the latest in affordable, high quality fashion accessories. Inspired by contemporary and classic designs, Cookie Lee jewelry is delivered directly to customers through home shows, office shows, fundraiser's and personal shopping by an ever-growing base of independent consultants.
Whether you are shopping for jewelry, want to share Cookie Lee with friends and family at a home show, or see the opportunity to start a business with a progressive, fast-growing company, Cookie Lee jewelry offers something for everyone.
The Company Is Growing!
We Need All Types Of Consultants!
Which One Best Describes You?
“HOBBY CONSULTANT”
Holds 1 show a week and has a ton of fun!
“PART-TIME CONSULTANT”
Holds 2 shows a week (much like a part-time job) and may consider building a team in the future.
“FULL-TIME” CONSULTANT”
Holds 3 shows a week and treats Cookie Lee as a serious career and business by building her own team and selling jewelry.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW DO I BOOK HOME PARTIES/SHOWS?
Your number one key to a successful start is to ASK everyone you know to help you as you launch your new business. Concentrate first on your family and immediate circle of friends. Your goal will be to hold 6 home shows in your first 4 to 6 weeks. Work you business according to your weekly home show goals.
Carry your tote bag and wear your jewelry every day. When holding shows, simply ask each person as you write up their order, “Would you like to get your most expensive item at half price tonight by holding your own girls night home show?”
HOW WILL I GET TRAINED?
Your up line team includes consultants who are here to help you. When you are part of my team, training is bountiful! There are conference call training's once a month; unit meetings once a month, management conference call meetings once a month; individual training's to get you off to a good start; an introductory/training show; and our very fun Quick start to Success classes. We pride ourselves on being the best trained unit in Cookie Lee!
HOW DO I CONDUCT A FUNDRAISER?
A fundraiser is a jewelry show where a percentage of the profit is donated instead of free jewelry. The percentage amount that is donated is completely up to you. Establish a percentage that you are comfortable with and stick with it so you are not giving different percentages to every organization. A good rule of thumb is 20%. A fundraiser can be done at home or in a business setting. A hostess may opt to raise money for a particular cause instead of taking the free jewelry.
There are many ways to structure a fundraiser but one thing that will ensure success is participation. Giving individuals who are involved with the cause a minimum amount of orders to turn in is a great way to get sales increased and everyone excited. For instance, if you have each member of a group responsible for 10 outside orders before the event, this will increase the total of the fundraiser and make everyone part of the event.
Also giving a separate cash donation (i.e., $10.00 or $15.00) for each home show booked increases the fund’s money, but also creates more business for the consultant. If the event is going to have a large attendance, you might use a separate table to take orders only. In other words, have a cash-and-carry table and an order table. For very large events, you may want to enlist the help of a family member (or possibly someone from the fundraiser) to help take cash or credit cards for items at the show, while you write up orders for other items not immediately available in your inventory.
ARE THERE ANY MONTHLY QUOTAS TO MEET?
No. A wonderful thing about Cookie Lee is that as a Consultant you can buy one pair of earrings and still receive the same discount of 50%. The company requires that for you to remain an active consultant, you must purchase a minimum of $300.00 wholesale per calendar year and you can do this an item at a time since there are no minimum order requirements. When you have achieved a management level by recruiting others into your organization, there is a minimum monthly purchase required for you to receive your commission check. However, there is no requirement to recruit; you can work this business as you see fit.
HOW DO I PAY MY HOSTESS AT THE END OF THE SHOW?
Your hostess is paid in free jewelry and ½ off jewelry, not cash. Ideally, you want to encourage her to pick out her free jewelry from your table, but if there is something that she wants that you don't have you must order the item(s) from the showroom.
HOW MANY PIECES WILL I GET WHEN I SIGN UP UNDER OPTION 2 – BEST VALUE?
On average, you will get between 50 and 60 pieces depending on the cost of the items that you choose.
WHAT COMES IN MY FIRST KIT?
Essentially, we do not have a “kit”. Your inventory items are picked exclusively by you with your sponsor’s help. Remember a very important thing about your inventory – it is IMMEDIATELY SALEABLE. Therefore, you can recoup your investment very quickly.
Along with your inventory you will receive business supplies, training CDs and DVD's. In addition, all jewelry comes in a clear plastic bag and is tagged for immediate sale.
CAN I RETURN WHAT I DON'T SELL?
No. Eventually all our beautiful jewelry sells. The company will repair or replace any jewelry that has a manufacturer defect for a year from it’s sold out date. And there is a repair department in each showroom or you can simply mail the jewelry to be repaired to the corporate office in Irvine, CA.
HOW MUCH MONEY CAN I EARN?
The amount of money you earn is entirely up to you. It is based on your effort and willingness to work the business. Your net profit from the sale of the jewelry is 50%.
HOW MUCH CAN I EXPECT TO SELL AT AN AVERAGE SHOW?
My experience has been that the average home show is usually around $400 to $500 in retail sales...your profit would be half that. This amount tends to increase during the busy fall season when people are shopping for holiday gifts.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO SPONSOR SOMEONE?
You will become someone’s sponsor by signing her up to become a Cookie Lee Consultant. Your job as a sponsor will be to mentor and train your new consultant. Once you become a sponsor you will receive commission on your consultants’ wholesale purchases directly from Cookie Lee on the 15th of each month.

SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE!
Once upon a time, a friendly, ambitious woman went into a beautiful store with a reputation for quality merchandise. She said to the owner, “Sir, I would like to work for you. I'll work hard. I'll do a great job, but I ask the following in return:”
1.For everything I sell, I want to keep 50% as my commission.
2.I will get others to sell for you too, and I want to be paid commission on everything they sell forever, say 5% to 15%.
3.I want to work my own hours and have no quotas, so that sometimes I can work a lot, but sometimes, I'll take off for a day or two…or a week…or even longer…whenever I want to.
4.My family must always come first.
5.When I do well, I want ample recognition and good bonuses… not meaningless little things but things like Gold and fine jewelry.
6.I want to be able to promote myself to management entirely through my own efforts if I want it, not because you want me to. My promotions must include meaningful salary increases.
7.I would also like an annual Luxury Vacation, all expenses paid by you, of course. And if I work really hard, my husband or friend can come too.
This is what I would like; can you give me these things?” The store owner was in shock! Finally, he began to laugh, and in a condescending tone said, “No, I can't give you even one of these things you asked for. And I'll bet that you won't find such an opportunity anywhere!

My Cookie Lee Story
I decided to sign up with Cookie Lee because I have always loved jewelry. When I started talking to my girl friend, another cookie lee member, and she told me about the opportunity, I couldn't believe the 50% profit. When I looked at the jewelry, I was even more impressed. It was absolutely the kind of jewelry I would wear, and not only that, it was jewelry that I knew my friends and family would wear as well! I had recently lost my job, and was looking for some way to make some extra money (Our company does not have quotas or minimum order requirements.) It took me about a month to get up the money and orders together to join, but I managed to get it all together,it was an amazing experience! All that jewelry, right at my fingertips! I wanted to get it all!
There are two ways to earn money in Cookie Lee: #1 sell jewelry and #2 build a team. There is no requirement to build a team, but if you want to, it is a way to earn money (residual income) each month while not selling jewelry. Last year one of (our up line) “team” commission checks totaled over $65,000. And, I earn money selling jewelry too!
Want to earn a car? Cookie Lee pays for the lease each month on a Mercedes Benz! Build a team and earn your car!
YOU CAN EARN FREE TRIPS TOO… Cookie Sisters have earned all expenses paid trips on an Alaskan Cruise, a Club Med trip to Cancan, a Hawaiian Cruise, a trip to Turks & Caicos and this year they are headed to Jamaica and Arizona! The trip you can this year is to Waikiki, Hawaii - you have all of 2008 to earn free tickets.

“HOBBY CONSULTANT”
Holds 1 show a week and has a ton of fun!

“FULL-TIME” CONSULTANT”
Holds 3 shows a week and treats Cookie Lee as a serious career and business by building her own team and selling jewelry.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW DO I BOOK HOME PARTIES/SHOWS?
Your number one key to a successful start is to ASK everyone you know to help you as you launch your new business. Concentrate first on your family and immediate circle of friends. Your goal will be to hold 6 home shows in your first 4 to 6 weeks. Work you business according to your weekly home show goals.
Carry your tote bag and wear your jewelry every day. When holding shows, simply ask each person as you write up their order, “Would you like to get your most expensive item at half price tonight by holding your own girls night home show?”
HOW WILL I GET TRAINED?
Your up line team includes consultants who are here to help you. When you are part of my team, training is bountiful! There are conference call training's once a month; unit meetings once a month, management conference call meetings once a month; individual training's to get you off to a good start; an introductory/training show; and our very fun Quick start to Success classes. We pride ourselves on being the best trained unit in Cookie Lee!
HOW DO I CONDUCT A FUNDRAISER?
A fundraiser is a jewelry show where a percentage of the profit is donated instead of free jewelry. The percentage amount that is donated is completely up to you. Establish a percentage that you are comfortable with and stick with it so you are not giving different percentages to every organization. A good rule of thumb is 20%. A fundraiser can be done at home or in a business setting. A hostess may opt to raise money for a particular cause instead of taking the free jewelry.
There are many ways to structure a fundraiser but one thing that will ensure success is participation. Giving individuals who are involved with the cause a minimum amount of orders to turn in is a great way to get sales increased and everyone excited. For instance, if you have each member of a group responsible for 10 outside orders before the event, this will increase the total of the fundraiser and make everyone part of the event.
Also giving a separate cash donation (i.e., $10.00 or $15.00) for each home show booked increases the fund’s money, but also creates more business for the consultant. If the event is going to have a large attendance, you might use a separate table to take orders only. In other words, have a cash-and-carry table and an order table. For very large events, you may want to enlist the help of a family member (or possibly someone from the fundraiser) to help take cash or credit cards for items at the show, while you write up orders for other items not immediately available in your inventory.
ARE THERE ANY MONTHLY QUOTAS TO MEET?
No. A wonderful thing about Cookie Lee is that as a Consultant you can buy one pair of earrings and still receive the same discount of 50%. The company requires that for you to remain an active consultant, you must purchase a minimum of $300.00 wholesale per calendar year and you can do this an item at a time since there are no minimum order requirements. When you have achieved a management level by recruiting others into your organization, there is a minimum monthly purchase required for you to receive your commission check. However, there is no requirement to recruit; you can work this business as you see fit.
HOW DO I PAY MY HOSTESS AT THE END OF THE SHOW?
Your hostess is paid in free jewelry and ½ off jewelry, not cash. Ideally, you want to encourage her to pick out her free jewelry from your table, but if there is something that she wants that you don't have you must order the item(s) from the showroom.
HOW MANY PIECES WILL I GET WHEN I SIGN UP UNDER OPTION 2 – BEST VALUE?
On average, you will get between 50 and 60 pieces depending on the cost of the items that you choose.
WHAT COMES IN MY FIRST KIT?
Essentially, we do not have a “kit”. Your inventory items are picked exclusively by you with your sponsor’s help. Remember a very important thing about your inventory – it is IMMEDIATELY SALEABLE. Therefore, you can recoup your investment very quickly.
Along with your inventory you will receive business supplies, training CDs and DVD's. In addition, all jewelry comes in a clear plastic bag and is tagged for immediate sale.
CAN I RETURN WHAT I DON'T SELL?
No. Eventually all our beautiful jewelry sells. The company will repair or replace any jewelry that has a manufacturer defect for a year from it’s sold out date. And there is a repair department in each showroom or you can simply mail the jewelry to be repaired to the corporate office in Irvine, CA.
HOW MUCH MONEY CAN I EARN?
The amount of money you earn is entirely up to you. It is based on your effort and willingness to work the business. Your net profit from the sale of the jewelry is 50%.
HOW MUCH CAN I EXPECT TO SELL AT AN AVERAGE SHOW?
My experience has been that the average home show is usually around $400 to $500 in retail sales...your profit would be half that. This amount tends to increase during the busy fall season when people are shopping for holiday gifts.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO SPONSOR SOMEONE?
You will become someone’s sponsor by signing her up to become a Cookie Lee Consultant. Your job as a sponsor will be to mentor and train your new consultant. Once you become a sponsor you will receive commission on your consultants’ wholesale purchases directly from Cookie Lee on the 15th of each month.

You Forgot My Soul
You Forgot My Soul
You lived next door to me for years,
We shared our dreams, our joys, and tears.
A friend to me you were indeed,
A friend who helped me when in need.
My faith in you was strong and sure,
We had such trust as should endure.
No words between us ever rose,
Our friends were alike-and so, our foes.
What sadness, then, my friend, to find,
That, after all you weren't so kind.
The day my life on earth did end,
I found you weren't a faithful friend.
For all those years we spent on earth,
You never talked of second birth.
You never spoke of my lost soul,
And of the Christ who'd make me whole.
I'm lost today eternally,
And tell you now my earnest plea.
You cannot do a thing for me-
No words today my bonds will free.
But do not err, my friend, again,
Do all you can for souls of men.
Plead with them now quite earnestly-
Lest they be cast in hell with me.

LORD YOU ARE LOVE
LORD YOU ARE LOVE
Lord you are love,
Peace and kindness too.
And in the dark and lonely times
I know that I’ll get through.
Because you hold me

You’re there each time I fall.
You promised to never leave me,
When you died to save us all.
You said you’d always love me
And I know that this is true,
Because Lord, you are love.

THIS KIND OF WOMAN
But how????? How can I be this kind of woman,
I will tell you extacly how, listen very carefully!!!
To be the kind of Woman that every time you wake up,
and your feet hit the floor and the devil says crap!
1#you must have invited christ to take up residency in you!
2#You must know that God loves you with an everlasting love and that nothing, shall seperate you from the love of God,
and that he will never leave you or forsake you!
3#you must know that all your sins are forgiven, past, present and, even the ones you haven't committed yet!
4#You must know that you are now the rigteousness of God, and that you have everything you need for Godliness and life,
and that you are complete in him.
remember you are not righteous or perfect, by what you don't do.
God's Plan was to give us the gift of righteous... we are saved by our faith in christ, not by works.
when we placed our faith in christ for eternal life, we become righteous right away
remember christ is life,... eternal life. that's who is eternal life,
so when christ takes up residency in you, you know posses eternal life.
he who has the son has life, Jesus says, I am the way the truth and the life.
he who believes in me will never die.
This Easter let us remember... that Jesus is the resurrection and the life, he is true life
we are merely living out side of him, but when he comes in and take up residency within
us, we know have eternal life which is himself. eternal life begins the moment we ask
jesus to come live inside of us. then true life begins!
God says, those whose minds, who are stayed on me I will keep in perfect peace.
I love you!
This will make the devil say awwww crap if you keep the above in mind and let it become your reality!

SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE!
Once upon a time, a friendly, ambitious woman went into a beautiful store with a reputation for quality merchandise. She said to the owner, “Sir, I would like to work for you. I'll work hard. I'll do a great job, but I ask the following in return:”
1.For everything I sell, I want to keep 50% as my commission.
2.I will get others to sell for you too, and I want to be paid commission on everything they sell forever, say 5% to 15%.
3.I want to work my own hours and have no quotas, so that sometimes I can work a lot, but sometimes, I'll take off for a day or two…or a week…or even longer…whenever I want to.
4.My family must always come first.
5.When I do well, I want ample recognition and good bonuses… not meaningless little things but things like Gold and fine jewelry.
6.I want to be able to promote myself to management entirely through my own efforts if I want it, not because you want me to. My promotions must include meaningful salary increases.
7.I would also like an annual Luxury Vacation, all expenses paid by you, of course. And if I work really hard, my husband or friend can come too.
This is what I would like; can you give me these things?” The store owner was in shock! Finally, he began to laugh, and in a condescending tone said, “No, I can't give you even one of these things you asked for. And I'll bet that you won't find such an opportunity anywhere!
BUT WE IN COOKIE LEE KNOW THAT THERE IS SUCH AN OPPORTUNITY!!
IT’S HERE WITH COOKIE LEE!!!
IT’S HERE WITH COOKIE LEE!!!

I LOVE this business!
Thank you so much for your interest in becoming a Cookie Lee Jewelry Consultant.
First, anyone can sell Cookie Lee jewelry. In fact, you will find that the jewelry practically sells itself…if you can wear it, you can sell it! Most everyone loves to wear nice jewelry, but not everyone can afford the expense. Now you can help your friends, family, business acquaintances and others to enjoy wearing designer-inspired jewelry at affordable prices.
There are several ways to begin selling Cookie Lee Jewelry. Attached, you will find a sheet detailing the two different Start-Up Costs. Once you make your initial minimum order, you will enjoy the immediate benefit of earning a 50% gross profit on all your retail sales.
Because there is no “pre-chosen” package or kit of jewelry, you can choose those jewelry items that you want to sell (or keep for yourself). Your decision should be based on what fits best with your personal goals and your budget. A good rule to follow is if you would like to carry some inventory and start holding home parties/shows, then the Best Value Option 2 would be better than Option 1.
Once you decide which option you want to go with, you simply need to complete the Consultant Agreement. If you are near one of our showroom/distribution centers, you can choose your jewelry from thousands of items and take it home with you that day! You'll get your tote bag full of your training materials, a tour of the facility and meet our fabulous support staff.
Our showroom locations are:
Irvine, CA Las Vegas, NV
Phoenix AZ Riverside, CA
San Diego, CA Seattle, WA
Salt Lake City, UT Detroit, MI
Sacramento, CA Portland, OR
Irvine, CA Las Vegas, NV
Phoenix AZ Riverside, CA
San Diego, CA Seattle, WA

Please note that showrooms are NOT retail stores and are NOT open to the public. Only consultants may shop at the showrooms which are filled with thousands of pieces of Cookie Lee’s jewelry! If you're not near a showroom city, then our web site affords you the opportunity to order online and have your items shipped right to you.
The company growth of the past few years has been phenomenal and YOU can be a part of it too! Of course, I am happy to discuss any details or questions you have in making your decision to become a Cookie Lee Consultant. I will check back with you after you have had an opportunity to review all this material. I look forward to welcoming you to my team!
Thanks again and God Bless,

My Cookie Lee Story
I decided to sign up with Cookie Lee because I have always loved jewelry. When I started talking to my girl friend, another cookie lee member, and she told me about the opportunity, I couldn't believe the 50% profit. When I looked at the jewelry, I was even more impressed. It was absolutely the kind of jewelry I would wear, and not only that, it was jewelry that I knew my friends and family would wear as well! I had recently lost my job, and was looking for some way to make some extra money (Our company does not have quotas or minimum order requirements.) It took me about a month to get up the money and orders together to join, but I managed to get it all together,it was an amazing experience! All that jewelry, right at my fingertips! I wanted to get it all!
There are two ways to earn money in Cookie Lee: #1 sell jewelry and #2 build a team. There is no requirement to build a team, but if you want to, it is a way to earn money (residual income) each month while not selling jewelry. Last year one of (our up line) “team” commission checks totaled over $65,000. And, I earn money selling jewelry too!
Want to earn a car? Cookie Lee pays for the lease each month on a Mercedes Benz! Build a team and earn your car!
YOU CAN EARN FREE TRIPS TOO… Cookie Sisters have earned all expenses paid trips on an Alaskan Cruise, a Club Med trip to Cancan, a Hawaiian Cruise, a trip to Turks & Caicos and this year they are headed to Jamaica and Arizona! The trip you can this year is to Waikiki, Hawaii - you have all of 2008 to earn free tickets.
Our History
Driven by her desire to have a business that allowed her to be at home with her children, Cookie Lee began selling jewelry to her friends and family in 1985. As her business grew, she recognized that selling Cookie Lee jewelry could empower other women to build a business of their own. So, in 1992, Cookie Lee jewelry was offered as a direct sales company to the public.
Cookie Lee has a reputation for offering the latest in affordable, high quality fashion accessories. Inspired by contemporary and classic designs, Cookie Lee jewelry is delivered directly to customers through home shows, office shows, fundraiser's and personal shopping by an ever-growing base of independent consultants.
Whether you are shopping for jewelry, want to share Cookie Lee with friends and family at a home show, or see the opportunity to start a business with a progressive, fast-growing company, Cookie Lee jewelry offers something for everyone.
The Company Is Growing!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW DO I BOOK HOME PARTIES/SHOWS?
Your number one key to a successful start is to ASK everyone you know to help you as you launch your new business. Concentrate first on your family and immediate circle of friends. Your goal will be to hold 6 home shows in your first 4 to 6 weeks. Work you business according to your weekly home show goals.

Your goal will be to hold 6 home shows in your first 4 to 6 weeks. Work you business according to your weekly home show goals.
Carry your tote bag and wear your jewelry every day. When holding shows, simply ask each person as you write up their order, “Would you like to get your most expensive item at half price tonight by holding your own girls night home show?”
HOW WILL I GET TRAINED?

HOW DO I CONDUCT A FUNDRAISER?
A fundraiser is a jewelry show where a percentage of the profit is donated instead of free jewelry. The percentage amount that is donated is completely up to you. Establish a percentage that you are comfortable with and stick with it so you are not giving different percentages to every organization. A good rule of thumb is 20%. A fundraiser can be done at home or in a business setting. A hostess may opt to raise money for a particular cause instead of taking the free jewelry.

A fundraiser can be done at home or in a business setting. A hostess may opt to raise money for a particular cause instead of taking the free jewelry.
There are many ways to structure a fundraiser but one thing that will ensure success is participation. Giving individuals who are involved with the cause a minimum amount of orders to turn in is a great way to get sales increased and everyone excited. For instance, if you have each member of a group responsible for 10 outside orders before the event, this will increase the total of the fundraiser and make everyone part of the event.
Also giving a separate cash donation (i.e., $10.00 or $15.00) for each home show booked increases the fund’s money, but also creates more business for the consultant. If the event is going to have a large attendance, you might use a separate table to take orders only. In other words, have a cash-and-carry table and an order table. For very large events, you may want to enlist the help of a family member (or possibly someone from the fundraiser) to help take cash or credit cards for items at the show, while you write up orders for other items not immediately available in your inventory.
ARE THERE ANY MONTHLY QUOTAS TO MEET?
No. A wonderful thing about Cookie Lee is that as a Consultant you can buy one pair of earrings and still receive the same discount of 50%. The company requires that for you to remain an active consultant, you must purchase a minimum of $300.00 wholesale per calendar year and you can do this an item at a time since there are no minimum order requirements. When you have achieved a management level by recruiting others into your organization, there is a minimum monthly purchase required for you to receive your commission check. However, there is no requirement to recruit; you can work this business as you see fit.

HOW DO I PAY MY HOSTESS AT THE END OF THE SHOW?
Your hostess is paid in free jewelry and ½ off jewelry, not cash. Ideally, you want to encourage her to pick out her free jewelry from your table, but if there is something that she wants that you don't have you must order the item(s) from the showroom.

HOW MANY PIECES WILL I GET WHEN I SIGN UP UNDER OPTION 2 – BEST VALUE?
On average, you will get between 50 and 60 pieces depending on the cost of the items that you choose.

WHAT COMES IN MY FIRST KIT?
Essentially, we do not have a “kit”. Your inventory items are picked exclusively by you with your sponsor’s help. Remember a very important thing about your inventory – it is IMMEDIATELY SALEABLE. Therefore, you can recoup your investment very quickly.

Along with your inventory you will receive business supplies, training CDs and DVD's. In addition, all jewelry comes in a clear plastic bag and is tagged for immediate sale.
CAN I RETURN WHAT I DON'T SELL?
No. Eventually all our beautiful jewelry sells. The company will repair or replace any jewelry that has a manufacturer defect for a year from it’s sold out date. And there is a repair department in each showroom or you can simply mail the jewelry to be repaired to the corporate office in Irvine, CA.

HOW MUCH MONEY CAN I EARN?
The amount of money you earn is entirely up to you. It is based on your effort and willingness to work the business. Your net profit from the sale of the jewelry is 50%.

HOW MUCH CAN I EXPECT TO SELL AT AN AVERAGE SHOW?
My experience has been that the average home show is usually around $400 to $500 in retail sales...your profit would be half that. This amount tends to increase during the busy fall season when people are shopping for holiday gifts.

A MESSAGE OF HOPE
A MESSAGE OF HOPE FROM DR. JACK VAN IMPE
Sixth trumpet
Verse 13: And the sixth angel sounded, and heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
Verse 14: Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
As the sixth angel sounds, John hears a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is in the presence of God. Isn't it strange that many of the judgments are directly linked with God's program of atonement? Perhaps this is because so many have rejected the message of the altar which speaks of the shed blood of Jesus. Paul warned the human race of the danger of refusing this teaching: He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the spirit of grace? (Hebrews 10:28, 29). The rejection of God's Word always brings serious consequences. Before us is a scene wherein even the altar (the only place where sin can be forgiven) and the horns of the altar (actually touched by the blood) unitedly cry out to God for judgment. Never treat the message of the precious shed blood of Christ lightly. Those who do will be sorry!
Now, because of rejecting the message, the voice from the altar tells the sixth angel to loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
The fact that they are bound proves that they are the fallen angels who rebelled and fell with Lucifer at the time of his revolt (see Isaiah 14:12-14). Once the Church is safely in heaven, four denizens from the pit of the abyss are released upon earth. Earlier we saw four unfallen angels holding back the judgment of God (chapter 7, verse 1). Now four wicked angels are set free to wreak havoc upon planet earth. They are commanded to execute their judgment in the area of the Euphrates River. This body of water runs through Iraq and Syria and will become the point of origin for the battle of the ages in the future.
This land area belongs to Israel and no one but Israel. God will see that they get it. Proof? And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee (Exodus 23:31). Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be (Deuteronomy 11:24). Again God says, From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast (Joshua 1:4).
At one point in history, the Euphrates River became the boundary of the old Roman Empire-which is being restored and will fall under the rule of the Antichrist (chapter 13, verse 1). This area will surely become the sore spot as history progresses, for it serves as both the frontier of the promised land and the boundary of the ten-toed, ten-horned, Western federation of nations that produces the Antichrist (Daniel 2:40,41; 7:23,24; and Revelation 13:1). The destruction unleashed upon the earth by the four evil emissaries is described in the next verse.
Verse 15: And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
The population of earth is presently approximately six billion, eight hundred million people, and it is estimated to become seven billion within the next five years. In our study, we have seen one-fourth of this number die under the rider of the fourth, or pale horse (chapter 6, verse 8). Thus, starting at seven billion earth's population is reduced to five billion, one hundred million. Now an additional one-third-or one billion, seven hundred - perish as the four fallen angels are released. These four executioners are undoubtedly waiting in the wings to begin the drama of the ages. They are prepared and eagerly anticipating their scheduled timetable. Remember, the Euphrates River is Middle East territory-the location of present-day Iraq and Syria. This is the world's present and future tinderbox.
The holocaust will also include Russia and her allies posed against Israel (Ezekiel 38 and 39). The barbaric troops come against the nation of Israel from the north: Thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army: And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land (Ezekiel 38:15, 16). Russia is north of Israel. This is why Joel declared in chapter 2, verse 20, I will remove far off from you [Israel] the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate [Siberia], with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea. Geographically, Russia alone meets the qualifications of this text.
As stated previously, Israel is mentioned as the battlefield of the world on eighteen occasions in Ezekiel 38 and 39. There is no doubt that the Holy Land becomes the site of the greatest war in the annals of history. Now Russia marches toward the middle of the Tribulation hour, but is driven back to Siberia (see Ezekiel 39:1, 2 and Joel 2:20). She strengthens her forces and then returns to the land of Israel once again. The scope and intensity of the offensive continues to increase until all nations become involved and are finally gathered together against Israel at Jerusalem. God says, I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle (Zechariah 14:2). At that point the Battle of Armageddon takes place: He gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon (Revelation 16:16).
This Mideast war numbers the largest armies in the history of mankind.
Verse 16: And the number of the army of the horsemen [was] two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
Think of it! Two hundred million soldiers! No wonder the ancient prophet said, And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land (Ezekiel 38:16). This army advances in the latest and best of equipment: For the chariots shall be with flaming torches in the day of his preparation ...The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall justle one against another in the broad ways: they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the lightnings (Nahum 2:3, 4).
Many Bible scholars associate the army of two hundred million with Red China and her oriental allies by tying this text concerning the Euphrates together with chapter 16, verse 12: And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east [or the kings of the sunrising] might be prepared. Such an assembly of military might is quite feasible considering China's present population of nearly one billion, five hundred million. Other Bible commentators believe this army is a supernatural one in light of the three verses which follow:
Verse 17: And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
Verse 18: By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
Verse 19: For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.
The advocates of literalism believe that these same verses portray the latest inventions stockpiled in the military arsenals of the world. Either way, it will be a devastating period of time as the remaining third of earth's inhabitants are destroyed by fire, smoke, and brimstone-a sulfurous, poisonous gas.
At this point several verses predicting the final war of fire should be considered: A fire goeth before him (Psalm 97:3). For, behold, the Lord will come with fire (Isaiah 66:15). The whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy (Zephaniah 1:18). A fire devoureth before them (Joel 2:3). Who? The Russian army coming from the north. Then God states: I will remove far off from you [Israel] the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great [or terrible] things (Joel 2:20). This is the point at which Russia and her allies are pushed back to Siberia. Joel continues in verse 30 of chapter 2: And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
This sounds similar to the report mentioned in Malachi 4:1: For, behold, the day cometh that shall burn as an oven. And the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up (Revelation 8:7). Again-whether the means are natural or supernatural-it is catastrophic. Personally, I believe that both the natural and the supernatural-men and demons-will be involved in the Tribulation woes. Now, what about the remaining sixty-five percent of the population?
Verse 20: And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
Verse 21: Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
We have now witnessed the release of thirteen judgments-seven seals and six trumpets. One would think that after experiencing such devastation, mankind would begin considering eternity. Not so! Those who are still alive continue to rebel. Wicked sinners do not give in or give up easily. In fact, God's Word tells us that men won't repent even after they have been in the regions of the doomed and the damned for centuries. Even then they continue gnashing their teeth in an expression of their hatred toward God. Proof? The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth (Matthew 13:41, 42).
Verses 20 and 21 present five major sins which permeate the Tribulation scene-and for which men would rather die than switch: (1) occultism, (2) murder, (3) drug abuse, (4) fornication (sexual orgies), and (5) stealing. Let's investigate them further.
Occultism
The Tribulation will be a time of pronounced devil worship. Anton LaVey began the church of Satan movement in San Francisco. Estimates reveal that tens of thousands in California alone are connected to this or some other type of occult organization. Stores where satanic objects may be purchased are presently springing up everywhere nationally and internationally. God hates this sin!
Listen to the Almighty: Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God (Leviticus 19:31). And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people (Leviticus 20:6). Anything that smacks of demonic-related practices has the anathema of God upon it. Look at the listing found in Deuteronomy 18:10-12: There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times [astrology], or an enchanter, or a witch, Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord.
In addition to worshipping devils, earth dwellers of the Tribulation hour also use idols made of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood. God hates idolatry! This practice breaks His holy law-the second commandment-given to Moses in Exodus 20:4,5 which declares, Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image...Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God.
There are those today who, knowingly or unknowingly, break God's commandment by worshipping lifeless, man-made idols. Their worship, however, is meaningless to God. The psalmist says in Psalm 115:4-8, Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat. They that make them are like unto them [helpless and hopeless]; so is every one that trusteth in them. God condemns idolatry-past, present, and future!
During the Tribulation hour, the world-steeped in occultism and idolatry-progresses to the worship of the image of the beast, or Antichrist, who proclaims himself as God (see 2 Thessalonians 2:4).
This image, made in his likeness (see Revelation 13:15), is undoubtedly the abomination of desolation spoken of in Matthew 24:15, which is placed in the Temple in Jerusalem and which brings great heartache to the Jews of that day. One can see that the world's present surge of occultism is paving the way for the coming of the greatest religious imposter in history.
Murder
During this same time, murder becomes a sport and judgment does not change the situation. The wicked refuse to turn from their brutalistic manner of living. They find pleasure in killing people, perhaps because terrorism is rampant. Jesus said, But as the days of Noe were, so shall the coming of the Son of man be (Matthew 24:37). Noah's day was characterized by violence: The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence (Genesis 6:11). Our twenty-first century is certainly leading us to this terrifying hour.
Drugs, fornication, and stealing
The final three sins prevalent during the end time are interrelated and have to do with sorceries-drug abuse, fornication (the practice of every conceivable sex sin), and theft. These sins indicate that bodies are being sold (through prostitution) and burglaries are being committed in order to support the drug kick. Present news headlines indicate that this day is already dawning! Surely our time as the Church upon earth is about to end and we must prepare to meet [our] God (Amos 4:12). In concluding this chapter, let's spend some time on the matter of drugs.
There are a number of words used in the Bible to describe the subject of sorcery. Altogether there are at least twenty-seven references to sorcery, sorceries, sorcerers, witches, witchcraft, and the art of bewitching. Of these, at least five in the New Testament are especially pertinent, for they have a direct bearing on the day in which we live-the present day of drugs and drug addiction.
In the books of the Old Testament and the Book of Acts the term sorcery always means "witchcraft" or "magic"-and one should note that the practice is continually and constantly condemned! Five occurrences of the word sorcery in the New Testament, however, have to do with drug addiction. In these instances, the original Greek word is pharmakeia-from which we get our English term pharmacy or drugstore. The literal meaning of the Greek is an "enchantment with drugs," or to "get high on" or "get a kick out of' drugs. Medications prescribed by doctors are not part of this condemnation. The literal rendering of verse 21, then, is that men repent not of their enchantment with drugs during the Tribulation hour. Each of the five references must be carefully considered in the light of its context. Collectively, they clearly reveal: (1) the present world condition as foretold in the prophetic scriptures; (2) the inevitable result of drug addiction; (3) the certain and definite judgment upon the drug pusher as well as (4) the drug victim; and finally (5) the appraisal of this terrible sin in the sight of God Almighty.
As previously stated, we can already see the dawning of the day of drugs in the spread of drug use throughout all levels of society. Such a widespread use of drugs cannot help but bring its own destruction. Even amid all the trips in mind expansion propaganda, not one user has ever been able to actually do more or be more efficient than he was before experimenting with drugs. This steady downward retrogression will be climaxed at the close of the Great Tribulation, when the full cup of its own judgment is measured.
The closing chapters of the Book of Revelation graphically portray the terrible consequences of mankind's enchantment with drugs. What we are presently witnessing is only the beginning of the coming disintegration of society during the Tribulation period. Revelation 18:23 states: For by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. The Greek word for sorceries, as already mentioned, is pharmakeia. Thus, "by their enchantment with drugs, or getting high on drugs, were all nations deceived." This is the result of mankind's first mass usage of drugs.
Now there is a change in the next occurrence of the word translated sorcerers. This change reveals a class of people who are doomed and is found in chapter 21, verse 8: But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. The Greek word for sorcerers in this text is pharmakeus.
Whereas the word pharmakeia meant "enchantment with drugs," pharmakeus means "the enchanter with drugs"-the pusher or the seller of drugs. This text plainly declares that eight distinct groups of people will never get into heaven but will rather be assigned to the lake of fire (a description of a literal hell). One of these groups is composed of those who are enchanters, or pushers of drugs. What a solemn warning against having anything to do with the soul-damning drug traffic of the present hour!
But wait! There is another reference to sorcerers in this book of the Bible-chapter 22, verse 15: For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. Here again the word is pharmakeus.
Although the word is the same as the one found in chapter 21, verse 8, it has a deeper meaning in this context. By extension, it includes both the drug pusher and user! Take notice-these individuals are kept out of heaven. (Heaven would not be heaven very long if they were admitted.) There is only one place to which they can go and that is the place of eternal separation from the presence of God- the place prepared for Satan and his angels (see Matthew 25:41).
The Bible is explicit in stating that there is no heaven for those who refuse to repent of their sins. In hell, they will keep on sinning forever. They never repent or get saved there. Notice also that of the six groups named in chapter 22, verse 15, sorcerers (drug pushers and users) occupy second place-immediately following the term which describes outlaws as wild dogs. Oh, God hates this sin!
An additional word, witchcraft, with the same meaning is found in Galatians 5:19-21: Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. The word witchcraft in our English Bible is again pharmakeia in the Greek. We also see that this sin is number six in this listing of seventeen kinds of sinners who shall not-shall not-inherit the kingdom of God. The drug user and the drug pusher are both excluded from heaven!
Is there no hope or escape from the clutches of this binding habit? Praise God, there is a source of liberation-it is the Lord Jesus Christ: For this purpose the son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8). Beloved, it is by the way of the cross of Calvary that Jesus has broken Satan's grip. Now, when any-any-guilty sinner calls upon Him for salvation, Jesus Christ immediately frees that person from the shackles of sin and death which bind him. Try Him. There is no limit to the saving power of the Lord Jesus Christ.
FROM THE HEART OF DR. REXELLA VAN IMPE
PEACE IN A TROUBLED WORLD
In the light of all that is going on in our world today it may sound strange to hear that you can have peace in a troubled world. In our beloved country everyday we have :
10 teens commit suicide
135,000 teens bring a gun to school
7,742 teens become sexually active
2,705 teen girls get pregnant
1,106 teen girls have abortions
623 teens get a sexually transmitted disease
211 teens are arrested for drug abuse
437 teens are arrested for drinking or drunk driving
1,512 teens drop out of school
1,629 teens are in adult jails
As shocking as this is, it is not only a national dilemma, but also a global plague. Jesus knew this situation would engulf the globe prior to His return by prophesying that "iniquity would abound" but He added "Let not your heart be troubled". What did He mean by this reassuring statement of comfort?
I want to let you in on the greatest truth I know. Everything I can say about real peace is centered in this fact. Without it, none of us can ever be genuinely at rest.
This truth has transformed millions of people throughout the history of the world. It has made derelicts into saints, hypocrites into godly men and women, and sinners into children of God. It is the truth of salvation in Jesus Christ.
Throughout this study, we have touched on some priceless spiritual verities that have a direct bearing on how to deal with the issues of life that can cause us to feel baffled, bewildered-perhaps even befuddled. In fact, we might say that achieving genuine satisfaction is completely a spiritual issue. To me, satisfaction is the normal state of a healthy soul. A person who neglects his spiritual needs cut himself off from the possibility of knowing real and lasting peace and fulfillment.
The greatest spiritual truth of all is what God has done to redeem us from our sin. By giving His Son to die in our place, God has paid the price of our sin and is able to save us from the bondage and dissatisfaction that comes with it.
Let me clearly say that I am not speaking of religion. Many people who are religious know nothing about salvation. Religion is of human origin, and it almost always requires that we do something. God’s salvation, however, is entirely His work on our behalf. It requires absolutely nothing, since God has already accomplished all that is necessary. Our part is to simply accept it by faith.
A personal commitment
I have been privileged to conduct two wonderful interviews with the Reverend Peter Marshall. He is the co-author (with David Manuel) of two marvelous historical accounts of God’s plan for America and divine intervention in the founding of our nation-The Light and the Glory and From Sea to Shining Sea. Peter grew up in a marvelous Christian family. His father, the late Dr. Peter Marshall, was for many years chaplain of the United States Senate, and his mother, the late Catherine Marshall, is known and loved by millions for her many wonderful books.
I asked Peter what impact his distinguished parents had on his coming to Christ. He explained that they had made clear to him from his youth just what it means to be a Christian. As a result, he never took Christianity for granted, and he never assumed that just because his parents were well-known Christian leaders, he was automatically a Christian as well.
In fact, Peter told me it was not until he was 21 years of age that he felt he had really committed his life to the Lord. Although he had grown up surrounded by Christian teaching and in his head knew it was true, he had not yielded his heart in making a personal commitment to Jesus Christ.
"I graduated from college, and I was lost," he told me. "I had no idea who I was or why I was here. I thought I was going into the foreign service, the United States Diplomatic Corps, but the Lord shut that door and it didn’t work out. So I had nothing. No plans. No goals. Nothing.
"Then I went to a Fellowship of Christian Athletes conference in Colorado in the summer of 1961 and heard Don Moomaw speak. I gave my life to the Lord as a result of that encounter. Two weeks later I was in seminary, and in 1965 I was ordained to the gospel ministry."
God took Peter Marshall’s aimless life and gave him direction. And, as I interviewed him, Peter expressed his concern and burden that many people do not understand what Christianity really is.
"Christianity is not just running around trying to do great things for God," he said. "We must understand that we need Jesus Christ because we are sinful human beings-weak and needy. In my pride, I had a hard time accepting this."
I believe one of the reasons so many people-so many religious people-are dissatisfied is that they perceive religion as something we do for God. But true peace begins when we accept what God has done for us! The Bible says, For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast (Ephesians 2:8,9).
You see, if salvation were something we could earn for ourselves, it would only contribute to our pride, for when we earned salvation, we would have much about which to brag and boast. Thus, what Peter Marshall says is absolutely correct-all of us are needy sinners-there is none righteous, no, not one...for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:10,23). Yes, all of us fall short of God’s standards, and if we are to receive salvation from our sins, we must receive it as a gift, not as a meritorious award for service.
What sin does to us
Some may have difficulty accepting the fact that all of us are sinners. We all know people who are good, moral, honest, generous, thoughtful human beings. Surely they are not sinners in the same way hardened criminals are sinners-are they?
From God’s perspective, the answer is "yes." Because His standard is absolute holiness-one hundred percent perfection-the issue is not how many sins we commit or what kind of sins we commit, but if we have sinned at all. And Scripture is clear that none of us can honestly say we have never sinned.
In the presence of absolute holiness, even the smallest sin is as offensive and out of place as the darkest, most heinous act of evil one can imagine. Because God is so completely holy and uncompromisingly righteous, He cannot permit sin to exist in His presence. And the only just penalty for sin is death-For the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23).
But just as God is holy, righteous, and just, Scripture also informs us that He is a God of mercy and love. Because of His great love for us, He does not wish to condemn us without mercy. Since in His righteousness He cannot simply overlook sin, He found a way that He could make us righteous without compromising His own holiness. However, it cost Him the sacrifice of His Son!
Perhaps the most familiar verse in all of Scripture is John 3:16-For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. That verse, more than any other, has opened people’s eyes to the truth of God’s salvation and the way to real satisfaction.
Salvation explained
What this all means is that you do not have to earn God’s approval. You do not have to work to make yourself righteous. You do not have to become deserving of God’s grace. All the work has been done by God himself, and He offers His grace freely to those who will receive it by faith!
Nothing gives a greater sense of personal worth than the truth that God loves us so much that He gave His Son to pay the price for our sins. And nothing on earth brings more complete satisfaction than the confidence of knowing you are secure in God’s salvation.
May I ask you some important personal questions? What are you counting on to make yourself acceptable to God? If you were to stand before Him and give an account of your life, what could you point to that might make you acceptable to Him? Would it be your own works of righteousness? I hope not, because Isaiah 64:6 says, all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags. God cannot accept works of righteousness from unrighteous people. Would you point to your heritage? Scripture is clear that salvation is not anyone’s birthright. In fact, Jesus said, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God (John 3:3).
The only thing any of us can point to that makes us acceptable to God is the work of Jesus Christ on our behalf. We must simply trust Him with childlike faith and receive His gift of eternal life (Romans 6:23).
CHANGED LIVES-one at a time
I love that you love my Jesus--every time I read your message I get witness to the truth--there is nothing better than to hear the Word of God as plain and simple yet in depth with the true meaning of what it stands for--Jesus!!--You and Rexella are the most beautiful couple of one in the Spirit as I watch the Spirit rest in His love upon you both--be blessed of the Lords greater anointing to come-
In his love-

Sixth trumpet
Verse 13: And the sixth angel sounded, and heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
Verse 14: Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
As the sixth angel sounds, John hears a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is in the presence of God. Isn't it strange that many of the judgments are directly linked with God's program of atonement? Perhaps this is because so many have rejected the message of the altar which speaks of the shed blood of Jesus. Paul warned the human race of the danger of refusing this teaching: He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the spirit of grace? (Hebrews 10:28, 29). The rejection of God's Word always brings serious consequences. Before us is a scene wherein even the altar (the only place where sin can be forgiven) and the horns of the altar (actually touched by the blood) unitedly cry out to God for judgment. Never treat the message of the precious shed blood of Christ lightly. Those who do will be sorry!
Now, because of rejecting the message, the voice from the altar tells the sixth angel to loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
The fact that they are bound proves that they are the fallen angels who rebelled and fell with Lucifer at the time of his revolt (see Isaiah 14:12-14). Once the Church is safely in heaven, four denizens from the pit of the abyss are released upon earth. Earlier we saw four unfallen angels holding back the judgment of God (chapter 7, verse 1). Now four wicked angels are set free to wreak havoc upon planet earth. They are commanded to execute their judgment in the area of the Euphrates River. This body of water runs through Iraq and Syria and will become the point of origin for the battle of the ages in the future.
This land area belongs to Israel and no one but Israel. God will see that they get it. Proof? And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee (Exodus 23:31). Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be (Deuteronomy 11:24). Again God says, From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast (Joshua 1:4).
At one point in history, the Euphrates River became the boundary of the old Roman Empire-which is being restored and will fall under the rule of the Antichrist (chapter 13, verse 1). This area will surely become the sore spot as history progresses, for it serves as both the frontier of the promised land and the boundary of the ten-toed, ten-horned, Western federation of nations that produces the Antichrist (Daniel 2:40,41; 7:23,24; and Revelation 13:1). The destruction unleashed upon the earth by the four evil emissaries is described in the next verse.
Verse 15: And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
The population of earth is presently approximately six billion, eight hundred million people, and it is estimated to become seven billion within the next five years. In our study, we have seen one-fourth of this number die under the rider of the fourth, or pale horse (chapter 6, verse 8). Thus, starting at seven billion earth's population is reduced to five billion, one hundred million. Now an additional one-third-or one billion, seven hundred - perish as the four fallen angels are released. These four executioners are undoubtedly waiting in the wings to begin the drama of the ages. They are prepared and eagerly anticipating their scheduled timetable. Remember, the Euphrates River is Middle East territory-the location of present-day Iraq and Syria. This is the world's present and future tinderbox.
The holocaust will also include Russia and her allies posed against Israel (Ezekiel 38 and 39). The barbaric troops come against the nation of Israel from the north: Thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army: And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land (Ezekiel 38:15, 16). Russia is north of Israel. This is why Joel declared in chapter 2, verse 20, I will remove far off from you [Israel] the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate [Siberia], with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea. Geographically, Russia alone meets the qualifications of this text.
As stated previously, Israel is mentioned as the battlefield of the world on eighteen occasions in Ezekiel 38 and 39. There is no doubt that the Holy Land becomes the site of the greatest war in the annals of history. Now Russia marches toward the middle of the Tribulation hour, but is driven back to Siberia (see Ezekiel 39:1, 2 and Joel 2:20). She strengthens her forces and then returns to the land of Israel once again. The scope and intensity of the offensive continues to increase until all nations become involved and are finally gathered together against Israel at Jerusalem. God says, I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle (Zechariah 14:2). At that point the Battle of Armageddon takes place: He gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon (Revelation 16:16).
This Mideast war numbers the largest armies in the history of mankind.
Verse 16: And the number of the army of the horsemen [was] two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
Think of it! Two hundred million soldiers! No wonder the ancient prophet said, And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land (Ezekiel 38:16). This army advances in the latest and best of equipment: For the chariots shall be with flaming torches in the day of his preparation ...The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall justle one against another in the broad ways: they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the lightnings (Nahum 2:3, 4).
Many Bible scholars associate the army of two hundred million with Red China and her oriental allies by tying this text concerning the Euphrates together with chapter 16, verse 12: And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east [or the kings of the sunrising] might be prepared. Such an assembly of military might is quite feasible considering China's present population of nearly one billion, five hundred million. Other Bible commentators believe this army is a supernatural one in light of the three verses which follow:
Verse 17: And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
Verse 18: By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
Verse 19: For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.
The advocates of literalism believe that these same verses portray the latest inventions stockpiled in the military arsenals of the world. Either way, it will be a devastating period of time as the remaining third of earth's inhabitants are destroyed by fire, smoke, and brimstone-a sulfurous, poisonous gas.
At this point several verses predicting the final war of fire should be considered: A fire goeth before him (Psalm 97:3). For, behold, the Lord will come with fire (Isaiah 66:15). The whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy (Zephaniah 1:18). A fire devoureth before them (Joel 2:3). Who? The Russian army coming from the north. Then God states: I will remove far off from you [Israel] the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great [or terrible] things (Joel 2:20). This is the point at which Russia and her allies are pushed back to Siberia. Joel continues in verse 30 of chapter 2: And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
This sounds similar to the report mentioned in Malachi 4:1: For, behold, the day cometh that shall burn as an oven. And the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up (Revelation 8:7). Again-whether the means are natural or supernatural-it is catastrophic. Personally, I believe that both the natural and the supernatural-men and demons-will be involved in the Tribulation woes. Now, what about the remaining sixty-five percent of the population?
Verse 20: And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
Verse 21: Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
We have now witnessed the release of thirteen judgments-seven seals and six trumpets. One would think that after experiencing such devastation, mankind would begin considering eternity. Not so! Those who are still alive continue to rebel. Wicked sinners do not give in or give up easily. In fact, God's Word tells us that men won't repent even after they have been in the regions of the doomed and the damned for centuries. Even then they continue gnashing their teeth in an expression of their hatred toward God. Proof? The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth (Matthew 13:41, 42).
Verses 20 and 21 present five major sins which permeate the Tribulation scene-and for which men would rather die than switch: (1) occultism, (2) murder, (3) drug abuse, (4) fornication (sexual orgies), and (5) stealing. Let's investigate them further.
Occultism
The Tribulation will be a time of pronounced devil worship. Anton LaVey began the church of Satan movement in San Francisco. Estimates reveal that tens of thousands in California alone are connected to this or some other type of occult organization. Stores where satanic objects may be purchased are presently springing up everywhere nationally and internationally. God hates this sin!
Listen to the Almighty: Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God (Leviticus 19:31). And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people (Leviticus 20:6). Anything that smacks of demonic-related practices has the anathema of God upon it. Look at the listing found in Deuteronomy 18:10-12: There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times [astrology], or an enchanter, or a witch, Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord.
In addition to worshipping devils, earth dwellers of the Tribulation hour also use idols made of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood. God hates idolatry! This practice breaks His holy law-the second commandment-given to Moses in Exodus 20:4,5 which declares, Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image...Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God.
There are those today who, knowingly or unknowingly, break God's commandment by worshipping lifeless, man-made idols. Their worship, however, is meaningless to God. The psalmist says in Psalm 115:4-8, Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat. They that make them are like unto them [helpless and hopeless]; so is every one that trusteth in them. God condemns idolatry-past, present, and future!
During the Tribulation hour, the world-steeped in occultism and idolatry-progresses to the worship of the image of the beast, or Antichrist, who proclaims himself as God (see 2 Thessalonians 2:4).
This image, made in his likeness (see Revelation 13:15), is undoubtedly the abomination of desolation spoken of in Matthew 24:15, which is placed in the Temple in Jerusalem and which brings great heartache to the Jews of that day. One can see that the world's present surge of occultism is paving the way for the coming of the greatest religious imposter in history.
Murder
During this same time, murder becomes a sport and judgment does not change the situation. The wicked refuse to turn from their brutalistic manner of living. They find pleasure in killing people, perhaps because terrorism is rampant. Jesus said, But as the days of Noe were, so shall the coming of the Son of man be (Matthew 24:37). Noah's day was characterized by violence: The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence (Genesis 6:11). Our twenty-first century is certainly leading us to this terrifying hour.
Drugs, fornication, and stealing
The final three sins prevalent during the end time are interrelated and have to do with sorceries-drug abuse, fornication (the practice of every conceivable sex sin), and theft. These sins indicate that bodies are being sold (through prostitution) and burglaries are being committed in order to support the drug kick. Present news headlines indicate that this day is already dawning! Surely our time as the Church upon earth is about to end and we must prepare to meet [our] God (Amos 4:12). In concluding this chapter, let's spend some time on the matter of drugs.
There are a number of words used in the Bible to describe the subject of sorcery. Altogether there are at least twenty-seven references to sorcery, sorceries, sorcerers, witches, witchcraft, and the art of bewitching. Of these, at least five in the New Testament are especially pertinent, for they have a direct bearing on the day in which we live-the present day of drugs and drug addiction.
In the books of the Old Testament and the Book of Acts the term sorcery always means "witchcraft" or "magic"-and one should note that the practice is continually and constantly condemned! Five occurrences of the word sorcery in the New Testament, however, have to do with drug addiction. In these instances, the original Greek word is pharmakeia-from which we get our English term pharmacy or drugstore. The literal meaning of the Greek is an "enchantment with drugs," or to "get high on" or "get a kick out of' drugs. Medications prescribed by doctors are not part of this condemnation. The literal rendering of verse 21, then, is that men repent not of their enchantment with drugs during the Tribulation hour. Each of the five references must be carefully considered in the light of its context. Collectively, they clearly reveal: (1) the present world condition as foretold in the prophetic scriptures; (2) the inevitable result of drug addiction; (3) the certain and definite judgment upon the drug pusher as well as (4) the drug victim; and finally (5) the appraisal of this terrible sin in the sight of God Almighty.
As previously stated, we can already see the dawning of the day of drugs in the spread of drug use throughout all levels of society. Such a widespread use of drugs cannot help but bring its own destruction. Even amid all the trips in mind expansion propaganda, not one user has ever been able to actually do more or be more efficient than he was before experimenting with drugs. This steady downward retrogression will be climaxed at the close of the Great Tribulation, when the full cup of its own judgment is measured.
The closing chapters of the Book of Revelation graphically portray the terrible consequences of mankind's enchantment with drugs. What we are presently witnessing is only the beginning of the coming disintegration of society during the Tribulation period. Revelation 18:23 states: For by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. The Greek word for sorceries, as already mentioned, is pharmakeia. Thus, "by their enchantment with drugs, or getting high on drugs, were all nations deceived." This is the result of mankind's first mass usage of drugs.
Now there is a change in the next occurrence of the word translated sorcerers. This change reveals a class of people who are doomed and is found in chapter 21, verse 8: But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. The Greek word for sorcerers in this text is pharmakeus.
Whereas the word pharmakeia meant "enchantment with drugs," pharmakeus means "the enchanter with drugs"-the pusher or the seller of drugs. This text plainly declares that eight distinct groups of people will never get into heaven but will rather be assigned to the lake of fire (a description of a literal hell). One of these groups is composed of those who are enchanters, or pushers of drugs. What a solemn warning against having anything to do with the soul-damning drug traffic of the present hour!
But wait! There is another reference to sorcerers in this book of the Bible-chapter 22, verse 15: For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. Here again the word is pharmakeus.
Although the word is the same as the one found in chapter 21, verse 8, it has a deeper meaning in this context. By extension, it includes both the drug pusher and user! Take notice-these individuals are kept out of heaven. (Heaven would not be heaven very long if they were admitted.) There is only one place to which they can go and that is the place of eternal separation from the presence of God- the place prepared for Satan and his angels (see Matthew 25:41).
The Bible is explicit in stating that there is no heaven for those who refuse to repent of their sins. In hell, they will keep on sinning forever. They never repent or get saved there. Notice also that of the six groups named in chapter 22, verse 15, sorcerers (drug pushers and users) occupy second place-immediately following the term which describes outlaws as wild dogs. Oh, God hates this sin!
An additional word, witchcraft, with the same meaning is found in Galatians 5:19-21: Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. The word witchcraft in our English Bible is again pharmakeia in the Greek. We also see that this sin is number six in this listing of seventeen kinds of sinners who shall not-shall not-inherit the kingdom of God. The drug user and the drug pusher are both excluded from heaven!
Is there no hope or escape from the clutches of this binding habit? Praise God, there is a source of liberation-it is the Lord Jesus Christ: For this purpose the son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8). Beloved, it is by the way of the cross of Calvary that Jesus has broken Satan's grip. Now, when any-any-guilty sinner calls upon Him for salvation, Jesus Christ immediately frees that person from the shackles of sin and death which bind him. Try Him. There is no limit to the saving power of the Lord Jesus Christ.
FROM THE HEART OF DR. REXELLA VAN IMPE
PEACE IN A TROUBLED WORLD
In the light of all that is going on in our world today it may sound strange to hear that you can have peace in a troubled world. In our beloved country everyday we have :
10 teens commit suicide
135,000 teens bring a gun to school
7,742 teens become sexually active
2,705 teen girls get pregnant
1,106 teen girls have abortions
623 teens get a sexually transmitted disease
211 teens are arrested for drug abuse
437 teens are arrested for drinking or drunk driving
1,512 teens drop out of school
1,629 teens are in adult jails
As shocking as this is, it is not only a national dilemma, but also a global plague. Jesus knew this situation would engulf the globe prior to His return by prophesying that "iniquity would abound" but He added "Let not your heart be troubled". What did He mean by this reassuring statement of comfort?
I want to let you in on the greatest truth I know. Everything I can say about real peace is centered in this fact. Without it, none of us can ever be genuinely at rest.
This truth has transformed millions of people throughout the history of the world. It has made derelicts into saints, hypocrites into godly men and women, and sinners into children of God. It is the truth of salvation in Jesus Christ.
Throughout this study, we have touched on some priceless spiritual verities that have a direct bearing on how to deal with the issues of life that can cause us to feel baffled, bewildered-perhaps even befuddled. In fact, we might say that achieving genuine satisfaction is completely a spiritual issue. To me, satisfaction is the normal state of a healthy soul. A person who neglects his spiritual needs cut himself off from the possibility of knowing real and lasting peace and fulfillment.
The greatest spiritual truth of all is what God has done to redeem us from our sin. By giving His Son to die in our place, God has paid the price of our sin and is able to save us from the bondage and dissatisfaction that comes with it.
Let me clearly say that I am not speaking of religion. Many people who are religious know nothing about salvation. Religion is of human origin, and it almost always requires that we do something. God’s salvation, however, is entirely His work on our behalf. It requires absolutely nothing, since God has already accomplished all that is necessary. Our part is to simply accept it by faith.
A personal commitment
I have been privileged to conduct two wonderful interviews with the Reverend Peter Marshall. He is the co-author (with David Manuel) of two marvelous historical accounts of God’s plan for America and divine intervention in the founding of our nation-The Light and the Glory and From Sea to Shining Sea. Peter grew up in a marvelous Christian family. His father, the late Dr. Peter Marshall, was for many years chaplain of the United States Senate, and his mother, the late Catherine Marshall, is known and loved by millions for her many wonderful books.
I asked Peter what impact his distinguished parents had on his coming to Christ. He explained that they had made clear to him from his youth just what it means to be a Christian. As a result, he never took Christianity for granted, and he never assumed that just because his parents were well-known Christian leaders, he was automatically a Christian as well.
In fact, Peter told me it was not until he was 21 years of age that he felt he had really committed his life to the Lord. Although he had grown up surrounded by Christian teaching and in his head knew it was true, he had not yielded his heart in making a personal commitment to Jesus Christ.
"I graduated from college, and I was lost," he told me. "I had no idea who I was or why I was here. I thought I was going into the foreign service, the United States Diplomatic Corps, but the Lord shut that door and it didn’t work out. So I had nothing. No plans. No goals. Nothing.
"Then I went to a Fellowship of Christian Athletes conference in Colorado in the summer of 1961 and heard Don Moomaw speak. I gave my life to the Lord as a result of that encounter. Two weeks later I was in seminary, and in 1965 I was ordained to the gospel ministry."
God took Peter Marshall’s aimless life and gave him direction. And, as I interviewed him, Peter expressed his concern and burden that many people do not understand what Christianity really is.
"Christianity is not just running around trying to do great things for God," he said. "We must understand that we need Jesus Christ because we are sinful human beings-weak and needy. In my pride, I had a hard time accepting this."
I believe one of the reasons so many people-so many religious people-are dissatisfied is that they perceive religion as something we do for God. But true peace begins when we accept what God has done for us! The Bible says, For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast (Ephesians 2:8,9).
You see, if salvation were something we could earn for ourselves, it would only contribute to our pride, for when we earned salvation, we would have much about which to brag and boast. Thus, what Peter Marshall says is absolutely correct-all of us are needy sinners-there is none righteous, no, not one...for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:10,23). Yes, all of us fall short of God’s standards, and if we are to receive salvation from our sins, we must receive it as a gift, not as a meritorious award for service.
What sin does to us
Some may have difficulty accepting the fact that all of us are sinners. We all know people who are good, moral, honest, generous, thoughtful human beings. Surely they are not sinners in the same way hardened criminals are sinners-are they?
From God’s perspective, the answer is "yes." Because His standard is absolute holiness-one hundred percent perfection-the issue is not how many sins we commit or what kind of sins we commit, but if we have sinned at all. And Scripture is clear that none of us can honestly say we have never sinned.
In the presence of absolute holiness, even the smallest sin is as offensive and out of place as the darkest, most heinous act of evil one can imagine. Because God is so completely holy and uncompromisingly righteous, He cannot permit sin to exist in His presence. And the only just penalty for sin is death-For the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23).
But just as God is holy, righteous, and just, Scripture also informs us that He is a God of mercy and love. Because of His great love for us, He does not wish to condemn us without mercy. Since in His righteousness He cannot simply overlook sin, He found a way that He could make us righteous without compromising His own holiness. However, it cost Him the sacrifice of His Son!
Perhaps the most familiar verse in all of Scripture is John 3:16-For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. That verse, more than any other, has opened people’s eyes to the truth of God’s salvation and the way to real satisfaction.
Salvation explained
What this all means is that you do not have to earn God’s approval. You do not have to work to make yourself righteous. You do not have to become deserving of God’s grace. All the work has been done by God himself, and He offers His grace freely to those who will receive it by faith!
Nothing gives a greater sense of personal worth than the truth that God loves us so much that He gave His Son to pay the price for our sins. And nothing on earth brings more complete satisfaction than the confidence of knowing you are secure in God’s salvation.
May I ask you some important personal questions? What are you counting on to make yourself acceptable to God? If you were to stand before Him and give an account of your life, what could you point to that might make you acceptable to Him? Would it be your own works of righteousness? I hope not, because Isaiah 64:6 says, all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags. God cannot accept works of righteousness from unrighteous people. Would you point to your heritage? Scripture is clear that salvation is not anyone’s birthright. In fact, Jesus said, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God (John 3:3).
The only thing any of us can point to that makes us acceptable to God is the work of Jesus Christ on our behalf. We must simply trust Him with childlike faith and receive His gift of eternal life (Romans 6:23).
CHANGED LIVES-one at a time
I love that you love my Jesus--every time I read your message I get witness to the truth--there is nothing better than to hear the Word of God as plain and simple yet in depth with the true meaning of what it stands for--Jesus!!--You and Rexella are the most beautiful couple of one in the Spirit as I watch the Spirit rest in His love upon you both--be blessed of the Lords greater anointing to come-
In his love-
R. W.
