Make Witnessing A Big Deal

Hey guys, I decided to go to get some food a few minutes ago at Subway and brought in some Million dollar bill tracts. The lady working was really focused on the work so I figured its not a great time to try and talk to her. But as I was being checked out, she looked across the room and said, "I have a thousand dollar question to ask you" to which I said, "Oh really, what is it?" and she said she was talking to her friend across the room.....I then said, well...I have a million dollar question to ask you and gave her a tract. I said, where will you go when you die and she said, "Hey, someone gave me one of these at school". She said she went to a college around here and someone passes out tracts! I said, well just take a minute to read over it...it explains how to be sure. So anyway, I walked out with my sandwich...or so I thought...this guy came walking out to my car as I was leaving and it was the guy behind me in line....he said, thats my sandwich, she gave you the wrong one and brought mine out to me. I gave him a tract and we talked right there with our sandwiches. He said he knows what he needs to do to be made right with God and he just hasn't done it yet. His wife and kids go to church down here, but he stopped going. He said he didn't think it was sin, but just could live better. I went through the 10 Commandments and explained his need for the Savior and he actually teared up a little bit, but held it in tight and didn't really express it. He said someone just sent him an email and get this...the email talked about us being in a courtroom and God being the judge....but it was different because he said satan was the prosecuter and Jesus was our defendant and Satan said, "he deserves to go to Hell" while Jesus said, "He has asked forgiveness of me for his sins" and God let the man go. I explained how God is just and MUST judge sin because He hates it and that Jesus paid our fine on the cross...not because it was fun, because He loved us and wanted to make us right with God. I explained true repentance and it was a great conversation. But as I left, I was convicted of something. God told me, why did you try and hide the fact that you were sharing Christ with the worker at Subway and only wanted her to know? He said, I sent that man out to you because I knew you would share with him then....but why didn't you in the store? I said that I didn't want to standout in front of those people as some religious nut even though it would be the right thing to do, to which God replied, you have sinned against me and this is just as guilty as murder. If you deny Me before men, I will deny you before My Father in Heaven, from Matt. 10:32-33. I realized that we should strive to make it obvious around everyone that we are witnessing and it will make others think and could cause more people to hear the Gospel. Anyway, yall pray for the woman at Subway and Bruce, the guy who gave me my sub....thanks guys, see ya.

The Blessed Generation- Psalm 24

Psalm 24 "A Psalm of David. The earth is the Lord 's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein,for he has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers. Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord? And who shall stand in his holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to what is false and does not swear deceitfully. He will receive blessing from the Lord and righteousness from the God of his salvation. Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek the face of the God of Jacob. Selah Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord , strong and mighty, the Lord , mighty in battle! Lift up your heads, O gates! And lift them up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory! Selah" David begins this psalm with a joyful declaration that G...

The Word: Fully Human, Fully Divine

The Christmas holiday brings with it questions of both the incarnation and the trustworthiness of its record. Was Jesus just a man claiming to be God or God pretending to be a man? If the Bible was written by men, can we really trust it? In this two-part post, we’ll see the fully human, fully Divine nature of both God’s Word (post 1) and Jesus, God’s Word made flesh (post 2). So this week, lets examine the reliability of the Bible, which bears the record of the God-Man, Jesus. The Word of God is fully human a) Human agents, with their own personalities and backgrounds, wrote the Bible The Scripture was written over more than a millennium-long stretch of time by several dozen authors from various cultural backgrounds. Therefore to consider that God could speak one distinct message for His people through such different people in different times and different places is surely a miracle. Students of the Bible can tell you that the message of God’s Word, whether Genesis or Revel...

Delivered from All That Would Destroy Us

Scripture: Psalms 144-145, Mark 3. Gospel summary: God is our great deliverer who comes to the rescue of his children. He has personally come in Jesus of Nazareth to release us from bondage to Satan, reverse the effects of the fall, cleanse us from all sin, and call us to be his own special people who carry his gospel to the world. Prayer: Father in heaven, praise be to your glorious name. You are so worthy, for you alone have come to my rescue and delivered my soul from sin, Satan, and all suffering. Thank you that you didn't sit up in the heavens and expect me to deliver myself, but that you came to deliver me yourself in the person of Jesus. God, I am such a rebel against your will and do not have the power to live for Christ, but I give you glory for saving me, and at great cost to yourself...the shame and suffering of the Son of God at the hands of your enemies. I thank you that Jesus is the stronger Man who binds up Satan the strong man and before whom even the demons tr...
