Witnessing On Campus Rocks!

So I went with Clay and Brad the other night witnessing and we were waiting at the crosswalk to go over Oak street when 4 girls caming jogging up behind us and stopped. I decided to teach them about what life is all about for the few minutes we had. So in order to start up a Spiritual conversation I showed them my curved illusions tract. It was great way to switch to Spiritual and they soon all got into what I was talking about. They share their thoughts about God and I got to tell them what the Bible, which was the first thing to talk about the eternal God, says about God. They were all so very interested and I got to ask them if they knew if they would go to Heaven when they died. They each answered "no" and I was soon able to go through the whole law and the grace of Jesus Christ and explain to them that no Bible verse says to ask Jesus into your heart, it says to repent (turn) from your sin (the thing that separates you from God) and take up your cross daily to follow Jesus. Mandy and Aubray, the two twins with them told me that they had wanted a relationship with Jesus but didn't every truly feel like they had one. They said that they now understood the Gospel and were going to help each other to follow after Christ everyday from that point on. I then got to talk to a guy named Chris who said you couldn't be sure of salvation and I shared John 3:16 emphasizing WILL NOT perish but have eternal life and he understood. I also got to talk to three other people who claimed Christianity and understood the whole Gospel. The guy of the group cussed a lot and said that though everyone has a conscience to know things are bad, they don't see that things are bad unless they grew up with parents who said it was. I asked, "what about raping children?" and he said that even that was something some people don't know is bad. At this statement, the girls were yelling at him that "Yes, everyone knows thats bad!" He said that he would stick to what he thought and as I was walking away, he told cussed and said that now everytime he did, he would feel bad...to which I said, "Good, that means that you are starting to see your sin as God does." God is good and I feel that this semester is gonna be amazing if we continue to pursue in obedience.

Sabbath or Lord's Day?

What is the Sabbath? Why did God include keeping the Sabbath in the 10 Commandments? Does the Bible call Christians today to keep the Sabbath? Should believers do any work on the Sabbath? Is the Sabbath Saturday or Sunday? Does any of this matter? These are all questions that the Bible answers for us, although there are a variety of different practices among churchgoers. It must first be noted that the keeping of the Sabbath was commanded by God Himself to the people of Israel as they wandered through the wilderness. God wanted His people to so reflect His holy character that He called them to rest from their work as He rested from the work of creation (Ex. 20:8-11). As He often does, God had called Israel to do the opposite of what common sense states. To take a day off of work is seen by many to be contrary to good productivity, but in the Lord's economy, it shows true success. By resting on the Sabbath day, Israel was publicly declaring to God their faith in His ability t...

Leading God's People to Trust His Word

Today I read: 2 Kings 12, Psalms 62-63, Hosea 3-4, and 2 Timothy 2. Gospel summary: Every leader of God's people must lead them to trust in him alone by rightly handling and teaching his Word. Prayer: God, you are my rock of refuge and you alone are worthy of my trust. Thank you that you have given me your trustworthy Word, because I live in a world full of deceitful promises. Help me today to put all my trust in you alone and not in any man, including myself or my accomplishments. Help me as a spiritual leader to lead your people to build their lives on the solid foundation of Jesus, the Word of God. Help me to teach and preach your Word properly, refusing to feed others on the false manna of my own ideas or creativity. Grant that I may live so by faith in you that others see your trustworthiness in my personal life and learn to trust you themselves. In Jesus' solid name I pray, amen. Memory verse: "Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart be...

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...
