Speak and to tell them the truth

    When a Christian and follower of Jesus presents the gospel and proof to a person. They do not always accept the witness. That person may respond with sincere questions or belligerent questions. The believer may answer stating the truth in the best way they can to that person. However,even if they present the gospel and basic truths like a lawyer in a crime thriller, a great speaker in a political drama or a coach in a sports movie the audience may reject their words. Rejection of their witness and their attempts, good and bad in quality, to share the gospel leaves some Christians perplexed and frustrated. When that happens many believers feel that if I knew more or spoke better the outcome would be different , this is not necessary the truth. There is a larger picture. A fact that seems to be forgotten but scripture bares out and actually warns us about. The majority of people no matter what you say or do will reject the gospel and Jesus. Jesus said " in Matthew 7:13 “Ente...

Why did God save you ?

                                                    Why did God save you ?    Did God save you just so you could do nothing for him or his Kingdom, then go to Heaven?  Think of all the disciples who followed Jesus, Women of the bible like Mary , the woman at the well,and Martha.  They all did something  think of the men and women through 66 books of the Bible The Saint's worked and lived their faith  even if that sometimes means they died for the faith.  St. Augustine Said  “The grace of Christ does not find saints and make them sinners, but finds sinners and makes them saints.” and Ephesians 2:10 says“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”    We are saved to be saints and do good works, but those works are part of God w...

Trapped in a burning building with one way out !

                                   Trapped in a burning building with one way out !     I was listening to Mike winger, who is a Christian apologist and speaker.  He was discussing how people get angry when they are told that there's only one way to heaven.  a burning  anger comes at being told there is one way to be right with God, one way not to end up in hell or more specifically the lake of fire. Many people get upset and angry Christians have been branded as elitist, phobic and intolerant because of this TRUTH. A truth spoken by Jesus Christ himself. John 14: 6 "Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. "  That is clear but what about those before Christ well the bible says in Romans 4: 4 "What then shall we say that Abraham our father has found according to the flesh? 2 For if Abraham was justified by...

DO YOU LOVE JESUS!?

 DO YOU LOVE JESUS?     Surfing Facebook I came across a post from a sister in Christ, one of my Facebook "friends", that had a picture, an artist representation, of Jesus Christ with his arms open. Under him was a question Do You Love Me? In the comments many people had put yes and liked the post. I was ready to hit like and post YES; when the Lord stopped me with a question, have you really considered the question? For most Christians our fist reflex is to say yes I love Jesus. Some would even add I love the Father, Son and Holy Spirit! They would then just move on the next page or post. The truth is that this question is very important. We should ask what does it mean to love Jesus before we say YES!       When many people say they love Jesus they mean they believe in him, Some as a great teacher , revolutionary and some as Savior. In our society we use the word love for many things. We may say we love pizza, a sports team, a movie, a book or a pers...
