Jeremiah Prison Ministry
We are serving him by serving them! ”His mercy endures forever” Psalm 106:1
God IS!
♦God IS! It doesn’t matter what the news or people think, God IS and
nothing can change the Gospel! We can not change God for He is the
same today, yesterday and forever (Hebrew 13:8). God can only change
us if we will let Him, its our choice.
♦I watched a clip online of Larry King interviewing Laura Bush about her
new book this past week and I was truly heart broken with her response
calling a sin a social issue & a generational issue. When did sin
Tom & Monica
become a social issue & a generational issue?
♦We believe in the sanctity of marriage is one man and one women (Genesis 2:24). The one
thing that Tom & I won’t do is sugar coat the Gospel to make you feel better in your sin but
call sin what it is sin. We stand accountable to God for what we say and preach. We will
love you but not your sin.
♦The mindset today is sin is OK but I am here to tell you that no sin shall enter heaven
(Galatians 5:19-21). I must have a savior and His name is Jesus Christ. He died on the
cross for my sins, your sins and we must repent of our sins and live a holy life acceptable to
God not man or to satisfy our flesh.
♦There is much confusion today which is a trick of the devil to convince you and I that sin is
OK. We can not live a sinful lifestyle and think we can go to heaven. Some today would like
you to believe a lie but don’t be caught up in the lies from the devil it will only take you to a
place of no where. The Bible is truth and the truth shall set you free.

Encouraging Words by Lewis Lee

My name is Lewis Lee and I'm currently serving a life sentence. I came to prison
when I was 15 years old and have been in prison for 35 years, which makes me
50 years old. I have been walking with the Lord Jesus for the past 20 years and I
would tike to share two scriptures that I have found helpful in my walk.
You would think and most preachers would tell you that once a person receives
Jesus as their Lord & Savior, that person’s life from then on should be a bed of
roses. However, the truth of the matter is that many don’t experience a bed of
roses in their walk with Jesus, but they should.
The two scriptures that I would like to share with you have allowed me to
experience a bed of noses in my walk, Isaiah 26:3 & Philippians 4:28. Both of Lewis Lee & Bill Long his
these scriptures deal with what is on your mind. I have come to understand that spiritual advisor and friend.

over the years, I have found so many living without the peace that comes from
the Lord because their minds are not filled with the things of God. Lewis & I share the same birth

In closing, to my fellow brothers behind bars and to all saints, don’t focus or I thank God for you both that you
