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.
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 ...
