Praise The Lord &
Pass The Ammunition &
BushFish Bumper Stickers


Really.

I'm not kidding.

About FORCE Ministries.

In the summer of 1997, While visiting the Naval Special Warfare Base in Coronado, California, Pastor Greg Wark entered into a conversation with a veteran Navy SEAL. During the conversation Greg asked the commando how he coped with emotional difficulties when returning home from a dangerous mission that could have taken someone's life. Looking at Greg smugly, the SEAL said, "All Ineed is a beer and a buddy," snickered and walked away. Greg immediately prayed, "Lord, give me these men." Soon after, many military people including a number of SEALs and BUD/s students began receiving Christ as their savior and they today, continue to grow as disciples. Force Ministries was born out of a sovereign, Spirit inspired burden that began with a simple prayer. Our purpose is to impart faith in Christ,instill patterns and principles for victorious Christian duty and ignite individual calling and destiny. Our mission strategy is simple and encompasses three major areas: Evangelism, Discipleship and Deployment.

Dropkick me, Jesus, through the goalpost of life!

The Force Skydiving Team is our main evangelistic tool. In addition to this, our partnership with Champions for Christ allows us to team up with professional athletes for outreaches and events. Lastly, we are able to conduct outreaches while ships are out at sea through our relationship with the local USO office. Force Ministries also believes it is vital tolay a proper foundation in the new believers life. This is done through our discipleship program. We currently have Force Bible Studies on several military installations through out the world and have materials available to send upon request. We are here to provide chaplains and leaders with vital support and encouragement. Lastly, our goal is to provide spiritual support to families facing long overseas deployments. We are currently training missionaries thatwill be sent to serve overseas near military bases. We also provide prayer and intercessor support through our Force Multipliers prayer team.
Force Ministries also produces a quarterly newsletter called, DUTY. For a free copy or for more information on our programs, please contact us at forceonline.org.

What We Believe

We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. We believe that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is fully God and fully man, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins; he arose bodily from the dead and ascended to heaven, where, at the right hand of God the Father, He is now our High Priest and Advocate.

Our supreme desire is to know Christ and to be conformed into His image by the power of the Holy Spirit.

We are a participating member of the Morning Star International family. We are not a denominational organization, nor are we opposed to denominations. We do not, however agree with the over emphasis of the doctrinal differences which have led to divisions in the Body of Christ.

We believe that the true basis for Christian fellowship is God's [AGAPE] love, which is greater than the differences we possess and without which we cannot claim to be Christians.

We believe the Bible, God's Holy Word, is our foundation, it is authoritative as the rule of faith and is the standard for living.

We believe worship is Spiritual.
Therefore: we remain flexible and yielded to the leading of the Holy Spirit to direct our worship.

We believe worship of God should be inspirational.
Therefore: music is an integral part of our worship.

We believe worship of God should be intelligent.
Therefore: meetings are designed with great emphasis on the teaching of God's Word.

We believe worship of God is fruitful.
Therefore: we look for His love in our lives as evidence that we have truly been worshipping Him.

Pardon my puke.

The Force Ministries motto:

Equipping Military Personnel For Christ-Centered Duty

Shivers, meet my spine!

This (cough) military evangelism crap may explain the too-weird-for-words magnetic bumper sticker I saw last week...




File these websites under "You can't make this stuff up."

The people at BushFish.org, who sell the Bush Fish car magnet, are even weirder than their Force Ministries buddies...

If this country's legislature and judiciary are supposed to
reflect the values and beliefs of The People, then send them
a message that they are WAY off course!

If you are tired of secularists telling you that The Lord has no place in our government and our public institutions, then show them that you disagree.

This symbol, this site, and this car magnet have been created for the millions of Americans who support the President and his vision for a government that embraces religion, morality, and family values. It shows worship to the Lord, respect for the President, and hope for all.

Join the millions of Americans who believe that President Bush’s faith-based administration presents the best hope for America’s future. The future is in your hands. Stand up and be counted!

Order a BushFish for yourself or a loved one today.

God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.

These people took George W.'s use of the word "crusade" (to describe his so-called War On Terror) literally...

And they want you to send them money.

Evangelism, Discipleship, Deployment, and A BushFish Symbol?

There's a sucker born every minute; however, there's also at least one grifter born every minute.

Chilling.
