If Jesus is worth anything, He is worth EVERYTHING

My friend Clay and I talked yesterday for a long time....of course if your talking to him its gonna be long, in a good way. Anyway, he suggested to listen to the Mark Cahill message online that is called Lukewarm no more and so I did. I have gotta say it is exactly what God wanted because through God's message in which He used mark, He told me through Revelation 3:19 "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent." I know that I have been so lukewarm lately. I have acted as though the Christian life is a playground instead of the battlefield that it is. Everyday I've woken up this past week or so I haven't woken up to the reality of the Christian life and the urgency of the matter of eternity. By making excuses to grow lazy instead of absolutely giving the Lord every fiber of my being, I have realized that when you are outside of God's will for you not only in your life, but in that day, you will become lukewarm and will grow sick and tired of who you've become....that is of course if you have at one point in your life surrendered all to Him. I hate what I have become and I want to do anything I can to shine the light of Jesus Christ EVERYWHERE however I can. I have just been thinking how I can do that and God has opened my eyes to several oppurtunities around me to do that. It is amazing how God never ceases to provide oppurtunities to glorify His Name. I know the people across the street from me do not know the Lord and the people next door to me do not know the Lord, so I have decided in my heart to pray for them and then go to them and share with them what I always have wanted to share but never have shared. If I become totally rejected, great....for great is my reward in Heaven! I need to start being a light for Christ that shines so clear and bright instead of a dim light that cannot lead anywhere. If you are reading this and feel that you want to repent of your sin and follow Jesus as being a true disciple, know that He said, "Those who forsake all cannot be my disciple" in Luke 14. I encourage you to repent and start pursuing holiness, start pursuing God. Don't be ashamed of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Grateful for an Unequaled Wife

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 ...

The Power of The Spirit of God

Today I read: 2 Kings 2, Psalm 48, Daniel 6, and 2 Thessalonians 2. Gospel Summary: Our spiritual strength is not our own, but is a result of the Holy Spirit working in us. When we trust in God's strength, we are immovable and even our greatest foes cannot destroy us. If it were not for the Holy Spirit we would have no strength against the forces of evil that come against us. Prayer: O God, you are my strength and apart from your Holy Spirit in me I would be nothing. Keep me ever pleading like Elisha for a double portion of your Spirit. Spare me today from assuming that I have this power apart from you and keep me ever dependent on the constant filling of your Holy Spirit. Show me that with your Holy Spirit in me there is nothing I face you cannot bring me through. But please teach me that apart from your Spirit I have no chance against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Keep me constant in faith, knowing that I am weak without you, you are God without m...

Gospel Summary: Turned to God from Idols

Today I read: 1 Kings 18, Psalm 39, Ezekiel 48, and 1 Thessalonians 1. Gospel summary: Man naturally is an idol worshiper and it is only by the convicting and converting power of the Holy Spirit that we can see the vanity of serving dumb idols and turn in repentance and faith to the one true God to serve him with our few earthly years before God's wrath is poured out on idolatrous people. Prayer: Father in heaven, you are the only true God and there is no other threatening to de-throne you. As the sole creator and sustainer of all things, you deserve all my praise, but I have lived serving vain and helpless idols. By the power of your Holy Spirit through the preaching of your gospel, you opened my eyes to how I was wasting my brief days serving things which are lifeless and worthless. You granted me repentance and faith in Christ and for that I am eternally grateful. Thank you for sparing me from your holy wrath against idolaters and gracing me with salvation. My salvation pro...
