AND I ADD.........
From the London Baptist confession 1689. The Supreme judge by which all controversies of religion, are to be determined, and all decrees of councils, opinions of ancient writers, doctrines of men,and private spirits, are to be examined and in whose sentence we are to rest,can be no other but the Holy Scripture, delivered by the Spirit, into which scripture so delivered, our faith is finally resolved. You can reference this in Matthew chapter 22 vs 29 31 + 32. Or Ephesians chapter 2 verse 20. Or Acts chapter 28 verse 23. My brethren many things can be taken from the scriptures. But my favorite is Acts chapter 28 verse 23. I will be brief in my description but you need to read the entire chapter 28 of the book of Acts. Verse 23 says so when they had set a day with him, they came in large numbers to his lodging. And he fully set forth and explained the matter to them from morning until night, testifying to the kingdom of God, and trying to persuade them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses, and from the Prophets. I will bring up a point or two. In our busy world today Most Christian's work. Some are full-time pastors, retired workers etc. I say we need to take whatever time we have,explaining the Gospel, and teaching the story. The Heavenly Father through his Holy Spirit,has given us from the beginning, Genesis to Revelation. I must mention there was much success when the Apostle Paul did this. But I must remind everyone that there is always some resistance, some adversity. I will add verse 24 of the 28 chapter of the book of Acts. Quote... And some were convinced and believe what he said, and others did not believe. Regardless of whether someone believes or not, it does not change your personal belief or your personal Faith and Trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. You must continue on. The perfect example of that is the fact that the writers of the London Baptist confession 1689... Were some of the Founding Fathers of these great United States. That was many years ago, and their Faith and Trust in the Lord, and their Faith being resolved by reading the scripture, has reached this far into the future and touched a soul such as mine. And it can touch the souls of all the millions and millions who are still unbelievers in Christ. A prayer... Dear Heavenly Father, this morning with all of my heart I pray for a young man whose name you and I know. A young 30 year old man who says you are a fairytale. I know that in this world today there are millions who feel the same way as he. But, I put my trust in you and I ask you, in Jesus Christ name to continue to draw to you all these people to you, through your Son Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit amen.Thank you,for the blessing to my life, you guys give me by reading my blogs.
