Hard Rock Corporate – Histrory

I was digging through some old stuff that I had from when I was kid and found some papers, a menu, and a button from the first time I ever went to a Hard Rock Cafe. While I was parsing through those items and trying to determine if these little trinkets of my past were worth holding on to, I ran across one of the Hard Rock Cafe’s Corporate philosophy statements – “Love All – Serve All.”

As these words uttered in my head and in my Spirit, the Holy Spirit reminded me that the same philosophy was owned by one person over 2,000 years ago – Jesus. Regarding loving all, Jesus said the following in John 13:34-35:

Regarding serving all, Jesus said the following in Matthew 20:26-28:

It is clear from these two scriptures that Jesus already had the simple concept of “Love All – Serve All” before the Hard Rock Cafe came along. As you look at the ministry of Jesus, it becomes VERY clear that He did indeed Love ALL and Served ALL! Everything that Jesus did during His earthly ministry, as well as why He came and what He accomplished on the Cross was done through His love and serving of what God called Him to do. In fact, we are told in John 3:16-17 the following:

How unselfish! How full of love! Who would EVER sacrifice their only child for just one person, let alone the whole world full of people? Have you ever met anyone in this world that has had so great a love for people as this? But yet, it is clear from what Jesus taught us in the scriptures before this that when we love as He has loved us that the world will know us as Jesus’ followers and TRUE Christians if we love with His unconditional love. It won’t be through Christian music, or the little “Jesus fish” on the back of your car, or the WWJD necklace you where around your neck. It will only be through the love that you receive from God through our Lord Jesus Christ that they will know. This is why it is so important to Love All. Here at Herald of The Truth we have talked about this before and for further reading on loving all, be sure to revisit the article, “Love All!”

What about this serving of all? Look again at what Jesus said – he said we are to be servants to one another. In fact, he says that you are to be a slave to one another! A slave? That means surrendering all your rights, all your wants, all your desires, and all your comforts, to serve those things for others! You may be thinking, “Wait a minute! You mean Jesus wants me to give up my wants and desires to help provide the wants, desires and comfort by serving others? That sounds a bit unfair!” Well, isn’t this what Jesus had to do? Think about it for a minute – before Jesus came to this earth, where did he reside? Did he not reside in heaven with God? And if He was there, don’t you think that He lives in heavenly peace and did not know pain, bruising, bleeding, cutting, or any harm to Him? Do you think it was His desire, personally speaking, to be nailed to a cross and go through the torture and pain? Recall what even Jesus went through hours before being handed over to the Jews so that God’s Will may be fulfilled – Matthew 26:38-39:

Jesus prays to Father God about not having to endure what He knew He was going to have to do, but yet what prevails here? Jesus’ prayer is not His will be done, but that Father God’s will be done. What was Father God’s will to be done? We mentioned it earlier in John 3:16-17. Doing the will of the Father is being a servant. Jesus was serving the need also of all of humanity too! Had He decided not to do what His Father willed, we would never have the salvation that He completed through completing the will of God! And we have MUCH to be thankful for Jesus being obedient, even unto the completed work upon the cross! That is serving unselfishly and without thought of Himself – PRAISE BE TO JESUS!

Loving all and servant hood should be at the heart of every Christian and should drive us in all that we do. As we do these two things and step out to “Love All – Serve All” only then will the world see who Jesus is in and through us!

And that is The Truth!

As part of our mission, we believe that keeping you informed as to what God is doing in and through Herald of The Truth, is just as important as the articles and content found here. With that being said, we are committing to deliver a quarterly report, of sorts, that acknowledges all the places that this ministry is touching and all the people that God is reaching with His Word, His Son, and His Spirit.

Since December 28, 2008, Herald of The Truth has focused on taking “worldly” news articles that leave out The Truth of God’s Word and deliver on what God’s Word – The Truth – has to say in response to every topic and subject. The vision and goal is still to not focus on any particular author but instead to focus on delivering The Truth so that it may reach a world that needs to know it. We continue to be lead by the Holy Ghost to authors who will deliver on this single goal and hope to have other authors being posting more and more content so that you may have The Truth in its fullness. Since the 28th of December of 2008 we have had one additional author post on Herald of The Truth and we are excited about what God is doing in and through that author. We hope and pray that you are too and that it abundantly bless and minister to you.

One of the biggest parts of ministering the Gospel is soul winning – saving those that are lost with the Gospel of Jesus Christ being Lord and Savior of all who call upon His name! During the last three months Herald of The Truth is blessed to have received it’s FIRST salvation from a gentleman in Nigeria who contact us February. We quickly sent out some books/materials that were focused on nurturing and growing his Faith and new found salvation in Jesus! Praise be to God for the Harvest! We know that Jesus would have died if there would have only been ONE person on this earth, just so God could have his child returned to Him! We just glorify Jesus for that salvation and pray and know there will be more lives touched, changed, and transformed by the very love of God!

As of March 28, 2009, we have 120 unique visitors from 30 countries throughout the world! Of those visitors more than HALF of them are repeat visitors of Herald of The Truth and we just thank you and praise God for you that you are the faithful, Word-of-God-hungry people that seek The Truth to fill you and displace the lies that try to take over your life!

We want to take this time to recognize the countries that we are praying for and know that God’s Word – The Truth – is working to change a country for the glory of God. The countries we have seen our visitors come from include:

Switzerland, Canada, Germany, Australia, United Kingdom, Brazil, Lithuania, Malawi, Spain, El Salvador, Philippines, Guatemala, Indonesia, Denmark, India, Serbia, Mexico, Hong Kong, Romania, Ukraine, Netherlands, Colombia, Nigeria, Sweden, Russia, Italy, Algeria, Finland, Singapore, and the United Stated of America

We just pray that God may richly bless each and every nation and know that the spreading of the Gospel is happening and going to those that need to know The Truth!

We want to thank each and every one of you that take the time each day to read and spend time here on Herald of The Truth. It is because of you and the Holy Ghost commission that we continue to move forward in the mission that we received at the end of last year. We look forward to Q2 2009 when we believe that we will have even greater news to share of all that the Lord has done in and through Herald of The Truth! May God richly bless you and may you keep His Truth close to you at all times!

Blessings on all!
