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.
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 ...
