and Introduction:
Hi, for you newer subscribers.:
I am an ordained Minister, attend a local church and though I do not oversee a pyhsical congregation; I am an internet Pastor overseeing Ezekiel 37 Bible Watch Ministries of Ezekiel 37 Bible Watch founded with the help of the Holy Spirit .
I also oversee the OnLine Bible Church.
My wife Minister Rosemary Mazzulla also has a web-page called "A Blossoming Rose Garden" .
About e-mail settings since I usually do this Newsletter in HTML format and that format does not work on Daily Digests, members settings should not be on Daily digest.
In fact if you are a subscribing member you either subscribed, signed up or asked me to sign you up for my newsletter therefore you should be willing to receive it by Individual E-mail and all members will be set to Individual E-mail. This will not cause your e-mail box to be flooded because I do a limited amount of Newsletters (between a few per month to once every two months).
I ask you, our subscribers please be patient with me..
If I had the time; I would like to send a Newsletter out once per week.
As it is due to time restraints and other responsibilities;
I am doing well if I send Pastor Bill's Newsletter out as a monthly Newsletter.
As to content the format is similar each time but content varies and so does the format; depending on time I have for graphics and on doing more then one article.
Some of the material in this edition will be famaliarto ou faithful long-time subscribers.
However I think the subject material is worth reviewing as well as giving new readers an idea of what our Newsletter and net ministry is about.
The Scripture For Today and the Flashback of an old " Net Ministry Update" are both from our 12-03-06 issue of Pastor Bill's Newsletter. In that Issue of our Newsletter Sister LeeAnna started her devotional out with Luke 2:14 so I made it "Scripture of the Day" for that issue. That Scripture also corresponds with our old " Net Ministry Update" is why I included it here.
I have decided I will write a few of my own comments on that scripture.
There are times in the past and will be again where the Scripture-Commentary/Devotional/Bible-Studiies will be longer then this month's.
The table of contents is so you can scroll up and down to see what you might be most interested in reading first. Hopefully you will come back to this E-mail or to Pastor Bill's Newsletter website to eventually read all of the articles in this edition and check out many of the links.
Thank you.

2. Scripture
for Today
Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace,
good will toward men.
Luke 2:14
3. Pastor Bill's Scripture commentary
Luke 2:14 is a scripture that is used often at Christmas time. (We also used it then.)
That is fine because the angels did tell the shepherds that at Jesus birth.
At Christmas time, we are more likely to see bumper stickers that say;
"Jesus is the Reason for the Season!".
This is also fine and true.
Even better this past year I saw a revision of that expression which stated:
"Jesus is the Reason for Every Season".
This is even more true.
In fact there are a fair number of sermons and exhortations around Christmas time that everyday should be Christmas time. That is that when Jesus Christ humbled himself not only as a human, not only in a poor family, not only starting out as a baby when he came to earth, Jesus also humbled Himself unto the Cross bearing and dying for our sins .
That is enough to celebrate Christ everyday!
Not only that take note of this:
Jesus Christ is now in Heaven praying for us all, and all believers washed in the blood of Christ can boldly go to the throne of grace in prayer.
And Jesus is coming back to gather us, His believers one day.
This is enough to make us shout "Glory to God! ".
When we follow Jesus Christ's example;
us believers should have enough love for our neighbors and even love for our enemies that we should do our best to "be at peace with all men" while not compromising our spiritual faith. Of course if in our own lifes we have a peaceble attitude and "good will toward men" (and toward women) then God will bless our lifes as a witness for Him and open up opportunities to verbally share the peace and love of Jesus Christ in our hearts. This is where boldness seasoned with grace comes in. We need to have wisdom about when to share and what to share of the Gospel while having boldness and openness so we do not miss those God-given opportunities.

Net Ministry Update
Peace good will toward All!
Awhile back a mother in India asked us to pray for Muslim husband that is beating her. This husband is also keeping her daughter away from her in another hut and refuses to allow the mother to see her daughter. She told us that she knew if her husband believed in Jesus then he would stop beating her and she would be able to see her daughter again. We prayed. Then we answered that e-mail saying we were praying and never heard from her again.
This is a portion from a letter that was my answer ( edited slightly for this edition) to Sister LeeAnna about our ministry, and then she suggested I add it to that edition's newsletter after her devotional.
That was in our Christmas Edition dated 12-03-2006:
+++++++++++++++++++++++
Actually every so often we get e-mails (and messages through Yahoo 360) from places like the Phillipines, Africa, India & Pakistan.
Their are other countries but outside of North America, those seem to be the most.
Their have been a few e-mails from Brazil.
A fairly recent e-mail was asking me if I could go to a town in the Amazon in Peru to preach.
It was in Spanish so I had to use the Babel Fish translator
http://babelfish.altavista.com/
to understand.
(my High School Spanish was poor
and has mostly faded away from memory).
Since then I realized the language in Brazil would be Portugese,
I must have remembered back when I first translated that pastor's letter.
Invitations to India, Pakistan and Africa are common
but one to the Amazon in Portugese is a little unusual.
Oh what we could do in world evangelism if we had an abundance of finances!
Oh well at least our words are encouraging some through the web.
Back to India:
Just this week we got a second e-mail to Minister Rosemary (my wife) from a mother in India
(different then the mother I previously mentioned)
who is asking for prayer for her son because he is going to marry "a heathen woman".
Those were her words in her first e-mail.
Now she is asking us to continue to pray on that for her son and to also pray that her daughter finds a Christian husband.
Amazing that in a country which consists mostly of Muslims, Hindus and Buddhists, that the few Christians are finding Rosemary's and my websites!
And oh yes, I am trying to help a young man from Ghana who wants to be a minister to connect him with a missionary I know in Ghana, who has a Bible training program as part of his mission.
END of Quoting from Letter.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
And since I wrote the above;
the mother from India e-mailed us another prayer request,
this time, asking us to pray for justice in a certain situation
(too involved to explain here).
Please keep her in Prayer.
Jesus knows her name.
Also please pray for our ministry and for our finances.
If we were finanancially free then we could do even more for Jesus.
This would include more time on the net reaching out to the world with the hope and love of Jesus Christ.
