  • Lots has happened since I last posted

    I went to the GNN Evangelism Boot Camp and was approved as Local Leader in my area. I have been teaching the WOTM Evangelism Course since March of 2005. I teach it 13 weeks in a Sunday School class and then four weeks on Men related Ministry Classes, then we go back to 13 Weeks of WOTM.

    I have been keeping up with my pals here on xanga. I enjoy reading your post. I will do better in the months to come. I am debating to upgrade here, anyone can give me a reason I should? I want to take this site to another level. I like the yearly payment verses the monthly.

    Well, God bless you all,

  • Question of the month

     


    Answer:  The Apostle Paul answered a very similar question in Romans 6:1-2, "What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?" The idea that a person could trust in Jesus Christ for salvation and then go on living just as he/she lived before - is absolutely foreign to the Bible. Believers in Christ are new creations (2 Corinthians 5:17). The Holy Spirit changes us from producing the acts of the flesh (Galatians 5:19-21), to producing the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). The Christian life is a changed life.
     
    What differentiates Christianity from every other world religion is this - Christianity is based on what God has done for us through Jesus Christ. Every other world religion is based on what we must do to earn God's favor and forgiveness. Every other world religion teaches that we must do certain things, and stop doing certain things - in order to earn God's love and mercy. Christianity, faith in Christ, teaches that we do certain things and stop doing certain things BECAUSE of what Christ has done for us.
     

    How could anyone, having been delivered from sin's penalty, Hell, go back to living the same life that had them on the path to Hell?

     

    How could anyone, having been cleansed from the defilement of sin, desire to go back to the same cesspool of depravity?

     

    How could anyone, knowing what Jesus Christ did on our behalf, go on living as if Jesus Christ is not important?

     

    How could anyone, realizing how much Christ suffered for our sins, continue sinning as if Jesus' sufferings were meaningless?

     

    Romans 6:11-18 declares, "In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness. For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace. What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey — whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness? But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were entrusted. You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness."

  • National Atheist's Day-This Sunday, April 1st

    Article Credit: See link below for Kev Williams

    Proof there is a God: It's easy to prove that God exists. When you see a building, how do you know that there was a builder? Simple, the fact that the building exists is 100% scientific proof that there was a builder. Anyone that denies this is either stupid or has an ulterior motive for denying the obvious. Where there is a painting, there must be a painter. Where there is design, there is a designer. Where there is order, there is an orderer. The universe is so intrically designed, there must be a designer. One single cell is more complex than a space shuttle. DNA is many volumes of written information of your body's design, super technology way beyond the man's capabilities, on the space smaller than a pinhead. If all your body's DNA was unravelled, it would stretch to the moon & back 9 times. Complex written information doesn't come about by chance. At the beach, if you see ripples on the sand, you conclude the tide has made them, a consequence of nature. But if you see written in the sand "John loves Katy" you don't think nature did it, you naturally conclude someone wrote it.

    The 2nd proof is God has given you a conscience to know right from wrong. It's not a matter of opinion that Rape and paedophilia is wrong. It's absolutely wrong. Your conscience tells you that God's infinite goodness demands infinite justice, so He has appointed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness. But He won't just stop at punishing paedophiles and rapists, He will punish all sin wherever it's found. That's why No thief, no fornicator (having sex outside of marriage), no drunkard, no slanderer will inherit the Kingdom of Heaven, and All idolaters (who create a false image of god in their mind, who's corrupt and so won't punish their sin and send them to Hell ) and all liars will have their part in the lake of fire. Are you guilty of breaking God's laws? Have you lied, stolen (whatever the cost), blasphemed? Jesus said, if you look with lust then you are an adulterer at heart. Listen to your conscience, you know you are guilty, and will therefore end up in hell, a place of outer darkness "where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth" "forever". But there is forgiveness. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whosoever believes in Him will not perish, but have everlasting life". To be forgiven you MUST repent, as Jesus said "Unless you repent you will also perish. Repentance is asking God for His forgiveness & turning away from your sins, forsaking them and turning fully to God, trusting in Jesus' finished work on the cross to save you, paying the fine for all your sins, like you'd trust in a parachute, not just believing in Him, but putting the Lord Jesus Christ on. The moment you do that you'll pass from death to life, & God will give you a new heart to seek the things of God. Read your Bible daily and obey what you read.

    Proof there isn't a God: Oh there isn't any!

About Me

  • I am a Local Leader through The Great News Network, a ministry which puts into practice the biblical evangelism principles taught by Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort in the "Way of the Master". We dedicate our time and energy to seeking and saving the lost (Mark 16:15). We live this daily, as well as go out to the Shoals/Florence/Russellville, Alabama areas to "Street Witness". We educate and train God's people in the principles of Biblical evangelism, encouraging them to faithfully fulfill the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20). If I can assist you in learning how to share your faith simply, effectively and biblically, let me know.
