Excerpt from the book e Fall of Man by Evangelist Jimmy Swaggart

4 FEBRUARY 2019 THE EVANGELIST The Priceless Corner We have set aside this corner of e Evangelist to show God’s Plan of Salvation. If you are unsure where you will go when you die, please listen to what God has said in His Word:

1. GOD LOVES YOU! “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” (Jn. 3:16). 2. MAN IS A SINNER, AND SIN HAS SEPARATED HIM he Wedding FROM GOD “For there is not a just man upon Earth, that doeth good and When Adam awakened from his deep sleep, the Lord as the at- sinneth not” (Eccl. 7:20). “For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God” (Rom. tending physician was standing over him.

He told Nicodemus: “... Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of that God is the author of this sacred institution. God” (Jn. 3:3). As God was present at this wedding, He desires to be present at all weddings.

Dear Evangelist: I want to give the Lord praise for The Expositor’s Study Bible. My 22-year-old grandson is serving a two-year sentence in prison and since being there, he has given his heart to the Lord. Praise the Lord! He asked us to send him a King James Version Bible. In addition, I sent him The Expositor’s Study Bible. He called this week and said the Expositor’s is a “big hit” with the inmates. Everybody wants to use it to clarify Scriptures. It is used during their Bible study sessions as well. I just wanted to give you positive feedback and encouragement to know your ministry is reaching inmates in prison. —EMAIL

Be Inspired Every Day.

Devotional time with the Lord each day is crucial to the growth of every Christian. What makes this devotional different from all others is that The Expositor’s Word For Every Day is the product of a revelation—the revelation of the Cross, which changes lives. A Scripture is provided for each day of the year, including leap year, followed by a short teaching by Brother Swaggart related to the Cross of Christ. The wealth of information regarding Bible doctrines, help for everyday living, strength, encouragement, hope, and blessing contained in this pocket- sized volume is exceptional. 892 PAGES, HARDBACK (08-334)
