So I was heading to Jesup this weekend and had to stop at a gas station to get gas....when I talked with the guy at the pump across from me, I found out he was a mormon and he actually stated that he didn't have the same beliefs as I did! Most mormons will say they believe the same thing....but the truth is, they don't. Anyway, I told him about how Lee Strobel in his book "The Case for Christ", was trying to look up evidence for the Book of Mormon outside of it and could find none....so he went to the Smithsonian Institute and asked them if there was any evidence whatsoever for the Book of Mormon to be true and they said no, there is no evidence for any of the people to have ever lived, any of the places to have ever existed, or any of the situations to have ever been authentic! Anyway, I told him this and said to go look up the evidence before you believe in something that could just determine your ETERNAL destination and he said that was true and he would. I pray that he would. As I was about to leave, I saw a biker couple sitting over there near their bike at the station and I had to talk to em. The guy said he didn't know what happened after we die and was wearing a leather vest with a middle finger up on it, he also had tattoos all over him and looked like he could break me in half with his pinky finger. The woman was his wife and she said she grew up Baptist and said you must accept Jesus to go to Heaven, but she didn't want to talk about eternity right now. The guy was very humble and interested, but the woman didn't like me being there! It seems that this would make no sense if she said she believed in Jesus and someone talking about her supposed Savior talking to her was annoying her?!!! I handed them a million dollar bill tract and told them to look over it and the man was very thankful. I pray that they will be radically transformed and see God's plan for the salvation of their souls and be turned from whatever lies they have come to believe about just saying a prayer and living like the devil all your life. People need the Lord, and we are the ones they can get Him by....lets get real and serve Him with our very lives. I turned on the radio after I left and it was a station with the message that confidence and courage are 2 different things.....courage is what the Bible calls us to have, not confidence. Courage is making yourself step out into a very uncomfortable situation trusting the Lord with it, whereas confidence is our own and we are called to have courage.
I have been listening to the marriage conference held at Southern Seminary recently online at night with Emily and have been reminded that I, as a husband, have not been faithfully cherishing my wife as I ought. I was greatly challenged by C.J. Mahaney's message that stated the importance to have regular scheduled opportunities for uplifting your spouse and giving her a chance to get away from the mother personality for a short time. I was also challenged by listening to Dr. Russell Moore's message about fighting for your marriage like Christ stood against the Enemy for our good out of his steadfast love. I as a husband have been blessed with the most unequaled wife of all. There is no other woman on the planet who can come close to Emily Ruth Wynn and I need not look any further than her. She is always utterly encouraging to me and her wonderful love in my life challenges me to be the man God has called me to be. There are several things that I love about Emily. One of the ...
