Watering The Seed!

So last night, I was going by the BCM and people were playing volleyball....A friend of mine called me over to the court and said that his roommate was one of those 7-8 guys Nate and I talked to about the Lord outside of Hopper the other night. He said that after this conversation we had with him, my friend talked with him in their room for about an hour after that. Now I am glad Nate and I prayed like we did for those individuals...God is so good. My friend, the guy's roommate, said that he had been praying for something like that to happen for a while. I began wondering how we shouldn't just pray that God would send people to share with our friends, but that we would share with our friends joyously. God has placed us around these people for a reason and we should do whatever we can to spread His Word and plant it in their hearts. God is good and had this whole thing planned out. Praise God for His marvelous work and for His glorious power. There is none like Him and without Him, we are all nothing. We must humble ourselves and acknowledge that He alone does the work in sinner's hearts and that we are simply His vessels through which to speak. Nothing is of us or can ever be of us because salvation is found not in the name of Austin Wynn, or Clay, or Brad, or Billy Graham, but in the name of Jesus Christ alone. Praise God this is so.

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...
