Tonight I got an unexpected text or instant message I should say, from a truck driver who apparently was looking at some of my post about Christ. He used a four-letter word and he really let me have it. He told me to F...k myself and the Jesus that I serve. He also later said to have oral sex with Jesus. A few years back a young lady did this same thing. After four hours with her I never heard from her again but she did compliment me without knowing. At the end of our time together she asked me a question. She wanted to know why was I so passionate about Jesus. And let me tell you I let her know. So tonight I want to read from the book of Romans chapter 1 beginning with verse 18. These words AR for that young lady and this young man that talked so ugly about godliness. Here it is and I quote starting with verse 18 for the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness an unrighteousness, of men. Who hold the truth in unrighteousness. As the famous Charles spurgeon once said sinful people do not let the truth work in their hearts. They do not allow it to operate in their minds; instead, they try to make it an excuse for their sins. some people attend church for years and the truth has pricked them, troubled them, made them lie awake at night; but they hold it down, when we are afraid all the truth we would do well to be afraid of hell also. Spurgeon farther said when we and the truth quarrel , we had better and are fighting soon, for we will have the worst of it if we do not yield. Now strange as it may seem these words of spurgeon were exactly what I said to this trucker this afternoon. I told him I was going to pray that the Holy Spirit Will jerk a chain in him. Rattle his cage. He almost beggingly asked me not to pray for him. He told me he knew the Bible better than me, I told him so did his father the devil.I was not trying to insult the man I was trying to rattle his cage so he would understand that Christians are not afraid. He asked me why were Christians so afraid of dying. I found that a strange question for I am not afraid of dying and I don't know any Christian that is. You guys pray for this man before something happens and it's too late. I explained to him how brief life can be and that he need not wait till it was too late. I asked him did his mama and daddy no he was like that and he said they were worse than he is. So I was brief and to the point and I told him that you and your parents will burn in eternity in a devil's hell with Satan for eternity.then I reiterated that I was going to pray for him and his parents for their salvation. You guys pray for him too. He's driving big trucks up and down our highways. He appears to be disturbed. I know how it is I drove for many years over the road. But remember and I will stress it again in verse 20 of the first chapter of Romans for the invisible things of him speaking of the Lord from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and godhead so that they are without excuse. The heavenly father has made creation and all 66 books of the Holy Bible To be all we need so we can be redeemed by the blood of Christ. I told this young man this evening that I was washed in the blood made righteous by my faith in Christ. Sometimes we just have to be blunt tell it like it is and start praying for these people. There could be people I know in my family, people I have worked for who are decent people, people I worked with, but yet they do not take the gospel of Christ into their heart and lives seriously. It is not my job to save people it is my job to warn people of the impending judgment that is coming their way. If you are my brothers in Christ sisters as well pray for these people for me please before it's too late for them. Godspeed to my brothers and sisters and if you're lost May the holy spirit of God get a hold of your cage and rattle it. Amen
