What We Believe
What We Believe
The Doctrinal Statement of "Yes Lord" Ministries
"Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians,
for they received the message with great eagerness
and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.
Acts 17:11 niv
The Bereans, in the Apostle Paul's day, did not unquestioningly accept what Paul said. Rather,
they examined the Scriptures to see if what Paul (and others) taught was in agreement with or contradictory to the Scriptures (the Word of God). We should do no less today.
Unfortunately, today, there is much error and departure from the sound teaching of God's word.
Therefore, it is only right for you to know what "Yes Lord" Ministries believes. In that way, you will be better able to understand and know the direction and emphasis of our Ministry and of the Bible Studies you will be downloading and studying.
This, then, is what "Yes Lord" Ministries believes !
This is our Doctrinal Statement of Faith:
1. THE SCRIPTURES (THE BIBLE)
We believe that the entire Bible is the inspired Word of God and that men of God "were moved by the Holy Spirit" to write the very words of Scripture. The Bible is, therefore, without error
(inerrant) in its original manuscripts. God has supernaturally preserved the Bible and it is the final authority for faith and practice.
2. THE GODHEAD (TRINITY)
We believe in one true God, eternally existing in three distinct Persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), each of Whom is fully and equally God. Each possesses all of the Divine nature and attributes and is totally worthy of our worship and service.
3. GOD THE FATHER
We believe that God the Father, the first Person of the Trinity, is eternal, unchanging, completely just and perfectly Holy. He, along with His Son and the Holy Spirit, is the Creator, Sustainer, and Sovereign Ruler of the universe. He is the Father of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, as well as the Father of all true believers.
4. GOD THE SON (JESUS CHRIST)
We believe that Jesus Christ, the second Person of the Trinity, is the only begotten eternal Son of God. He became flesh and lived here on earth among us for a time. As man, He did not cease in any way to be God, so He is fully God and fully man, inseparably united in one Person forever.
We believe that Jesus was miraculously conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin, Mary, and lived a sinless life while on earth. As our only Savior and Redeemer, He died on the cross as the substitutionary, all-sufficient atoning Sacrifice for sin. He was buried, rose bodily from the dead, and physically ascended into heaven in His glorified, resurrected body. He is now seated at the right hand of the Father, performing His ministry of intercession. He will return to claim His Bride, the Church, and will come again to earth in bodily form, personally and visibly, to conclude human history and consummate God's eternal plan.
5. GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe that the Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Trinity, as the primary agent for the conviction of sin and for regeneration, glorifies Christ and enables men to appropriate the salvation wrought by Christ. The Holy Spirit permanently indwells the believer and securely seals the believer unto the day of redemption.
6. MAN
We believe that God created man in His image to glorify God, worship and serve Him, and have fellowship with Him. Man deliberately chose to disobey God, thus corrupting his own nature, incurring physical and spiritual death, and alienating himself from God. Man is utterly lost, dead in his trespasses and sin, and is totally incapable of saving himself and coming back into right relationship with God by his own merit or effort.
7. SALVATION
We believe that the shed blood of Jesus Christ on the cross provides the only basis for forgiveness of sins and salvation. Salvation is effected by the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit and cannot be secured by man's works or personal merit. Salvation is only appropriated by a person placing his faith in the finished work of Christ.
8. FUTURE THINGS (ESCHATOLOGY)
We believe that Jesus Christ will return again to reign with the saints. His return will be a literal return. Those justified by salvation through the shed blood of Jesus Christ will be bodily resurrected to live eternally with God in Heaven.
If you have not yet accepted the Gift of Salvation which Jesus provided by the sacrifice of His blood and sinless life in substitutionary payment of the death penalty for your sin--and if you would like to know how to accept this gift

Nice
Nice..
No man/woman is worth your tears and the only one
who is, will never make you cry.
If you love someone,
put their name in a circle,
instead of a heart,
because hearts can break,
but circles go on forever.
Everyone hears what you say.
Friends listen to what you say.
Best friends listen to what you don't say.
If all my friends were to jump off a bridge,
I wouldn't jump with them,
I'd be at the bottom to catch them.
Don't frown,
because you never know who's falling in love with your
smile!
If you judge people,
you have no time to love them.
Be kind,
for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle.
It may take only a minute to like someone,
only an hour to have a crush on someoneand
only a day to love someone
but it will take a lifetime to forget someone.
Enthusiasm is contagious.
You might cause an outbreak and affect many.
Yesterday is the history,
tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift,
that is why it is called the present.
Dance like nobody's watching,
and love like it's never gonna hurt.

WORK WORK WORK
WORK WORK WORK
A long time ago, there was an Emperor who told his horseman that if
he could ride on his horse and cover as much land area as he likes, then
the Emperor would give him the area of land he has covered.
Sure enough, the horseman quickly jumped onto his horse and rode as fast
as possible to cover as much land area as he could. He kept on riding
and riding, whipping the horse to go as fast as possible. When he was
hungry or tired, he did not stop because he wanted to cover as much area
as possible.
Came to a point when he had covered a substantial area and he was
exhausted and was dying. Then he asked himself, "Why did I push
myself so hard to cover so much land area? Now I am dying and I only
need a very small area to bury myself."
The above story is similar with the journey of our Life. We push very
hard everyday to make more money, to gain power and recognition. We
neglect our health , time with our family and to appreciate the
surrounding beauty and the hobbies we love.
One day when we look back , we will realize that we don't really need
that much, but then we cannot turn back time for what we have missed.
Life is not about making money, acquiring power or recognition . Life
is definitely not about work! Work is only necessary to keep us living
so as to enjoy the beauty and pleasures of life. Life is a balance of
Work and Play, Family and Personal time. You have to decide how you want
to balance your Life. Define your priorities, realize what you are able
to compromise but always let some of your decisions be based on your
instincts. Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of Life, the
whole aim of human existence.
So, take it easy, do what you want to do and appreciate nature. Life is
fragile, Life is short. Do not take Life for granted. Live a balanced
lifestyle and enjoy Life!
Watch your thoughts ; they become words.
Watch your words ; they become actions.
Watch your actions ; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character .
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny .
Because JESUS is, we are ... GBU.

little thing
One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my
class was walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked
like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, "Why would
anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd."
I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my
friends tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on.
As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They
ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so
he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the
grass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw this
terrible sadness in his eyes. My heart went out to him. So, I jogged
over to him and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, and I saw a tear
in his eye. As I handed him his glasses, I said, "Those guys are
jerks. They really should get lives." He looked at me and said, "Hey
thanks!" There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles
that showed real gratitude. I helped him pick up his books, and asked
him where he lived. As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why
I had never seen him before. He said he had gone to private school before
now.
I would have never hung out with a private school kid before. We talked all
the way home, and I carried his books. He turned out to be a pretty cool
kid. I asked him ifhe wanted to play football on Saturday with me and
my friends. He said yes. We hung out all weekend and the more I got to
know Kyle, the more I liked him, and my friends thought the same of him.
Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books
again. I stopped him and said, "Boy, you are gonna really build some
serious muscles with this pile of books everyday!" He just laughed and handed
me half the books. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best
friends.
When we were seniors, we began to think about college. Kyle decided on
Georgetown, and I was going to Duke. I knew that we would always be
friends, that the miles would never be a problem. He was going to be a doctor,
and I was going for business on a football scholarship. Kyle was valedictorian
of our class. I teased him all the time about being a nerd. He had to prepare
a speech for graduation.
I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak.
On Graduation day, I saw Kyle. He looked great. He was one of those
guys that really found himself during high school. He filled out and
actually looked good in glasses. He had more dates than I had and all
the girls loved him. Boy, sometimes I was jealous. Today was one of those
days.
I could see that he was nervous about his speech. So, I smacked him on
the back and said, "Hey, big guy, you'll be great!" He looked at me with
one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled. "Thanks," he said. As
he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began. "Graduation is a
time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years.
Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach, but mostly
your friends. I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is
the best gift you can give them. I am going to tell you a story."
I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the
first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He
talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it
later and was carrying all his stuff home. He looked hard at me and gave me a
little smile. "Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing
the unspeakable." I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome,
popular boy told us all about his weakest moment.
I saw his Mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same
grateful smile. Not until that moment did I realize it's depth.
Never underestimate the power of your actions. With one small gesture
you can change a person's life. For better or for worse. God puts us
all in each other's lives to impact one another in some way. Look for God in
others.
Eleanor Roosevelt wrote:
Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true
friends will leave footprints in your heart.
To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart.
Anger is only one letter short of danger. If someone betrays you once,
it is his fault; if he betrays you twice, it is your fault.
Great minds discuss ideas;
Average minds discuss events;
Small minds discuss people.
He who loses money, loses much;
He, who loses a friend, loses much more;
He, who loses faith, loses all.
Beautiful young people are accidents of nature,
But beautiful old people are works of art.
Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live long enough to make
them all yourself.
Friends, you and me....you brought another friend.... and then there
were 3.
We started our group.... our circle of friends.... and like that
circle.... there is no beginning or end.

Friendship
You'll always be my friend........
The ABC's of friendship
Always be honest, would you want them to lie to you ?
Be there when they need you. or you may wind up alone
Cheer them on, we all need encouragement now and then
Don't look for their faults, even if you have none
Encourage their dreams, what would we be without them ?
Forgive them, you just may do something wrong sometime
Get together often, misery loves company, so does glee
Have faith in them, the human animal is remarkable
Include them, you may need to be included sometime
Just be there when they need you
Know when they need a hug, and couldn't you use one ?
Love them unconditionally, that is the only condition
Make them feel spesial, because aren't we all spesial ?
Never forget them, who wants to feel forgotten
Offer to help and know when "no thanks" is just politeness
Praise them honestly and openly
Quietly disagree, noisy NO's make enemies
Really histen, a friendly ear is a soothing balm
Say you're sorry, don't let them assume it
Talk frequently, communication is important
Use good judgement
Verbalize your feelings
Wish them luck, hopefully good
Xamine your motives before you'll "help"out
Your words count, use them wisely
Zip your lips when told a secret.

Funny Thing
In 1993 I moved myself and my business from Columbus, Ohio to Bluff City, Tennessee for personal
reasons. When I first moved I still had Ohio license plates on my car since I hadn't had a
chance to transfer them yet. As I was driving down the road a bunch of teenage boys passed me
and yelled out the window, "Damn Yankee." I just laughed it off. They were just young kids,
young enough to be my children and I probably did something just as crazy when I was their age.
A week or so later I went and purchased my Tennessee license plates and put them on my car.
Now, I was the same person, driving the same car. The only difference was that I now had a
different set of license plates. Nobody called me a "Damn" anything — I was suddenly accepted
as a member of the clan.
But the real surprise came when I made a quick weekend trip back up to Columbus, Ohio.
This time, a bunch of teenage boys passed me by and yelled, "Hillbilly" and pointed their
fingers at me simply because I had Tennessee license plates. What a riot!
The funny part is that I was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio and had lived there for almost
35 years. I certainly had resided in Columbus almost twice as long as these 16 and 17-year old
kids — yet they only judged me by my license plates that I was from the south. Not that it
matters to a hill of beans "where" you are from, this incident brings up something very
interesting about people.
How many times have you judged or been judged just from only the surface? How many times have
you believed a rumor without hearing the other person's viewpoint? How many times have you
jumped to conclusions only to find out the situation was completely reversed and you judged
wrong? How many times? Well, for me, it's been about 2 million plus! So I put myself right
there with the rest of the human race.
It's really very interesting how every one of us judges someone else to some degree.
Face it — we all do it. The only reason we feel guilty about it when faced with the truth
is because we know its wrong. You may even be trying to find excuses now as to "why" you
judge others — but the fact remains, we are all guilty of it.
So what can we do to relieve the guilt? Bow our heads, pray and ask for forgiveness.

There may be days when you get up in the morning
and things aren't the way you had hoped they would be...
That's when you have to tell yourself that you can make things get
better!
There are times when people might disappoint you and let you down...
Those are the times when you need to remind yourself to trust your own
judgments and opinions, and keep your life focused on believing in
yourself!
There will be challenges to face and changes to make in your life,
and it is up to you to accept them.
Keep yourself headed in the right direction for YOU.
It may not be easy at times... but in those times of struggle
you will find a stronger sense of who you are!
So when days come that are filled with frustration and unexpected
responsibilities,
Remember to believe in yourself and all that you want your life to be
