EACH ONE REACH ONE.

Verse 33 and 34 of the book of Acts chapter 17.......we see Paul departed athens and the people mentioned in this scripture. Howbeit certain men clave unto him,and believed.The names .....DIONYSIUS,AREOPAGITE,AND A WOMEN NAMED DAMARIS,and others with them. Thank The Lord in Heaven....JESUS CHRIST for these people that i am sure led many others to the Lord.So many that it reached me as a 12 year old child in 1965.Thus the old phrase each one reach one put into early practice.

OFFSPRINGS.

The apostle Paul,in Athens Greece,observed philosophers,worshipping other gods. They even had alters with words like"unto the unknown god"Paul used the word ignorant.He told these people they were worshiping ignorantly.He then reminded them that The one true God that created the world dwells not in temples made with hands.He s neither worshipped with mens hands as though he needed anything,seeing he giveth all life.,and breath,and all things.(This is all in ACTS chapter 17.starting with the 16th verse.With Paul as with Godly preachers,these words in verse 27. That they should seek the Lord,if haply they should feel after him,and find him,though he be not very far from every one of us.VS. 28.says For as much then as we are the offspring of God,we ought not think that the Godhead is like unto gold,or silver,or stone,graven by art and man's device.The Bible says at the times of this ignorance God winked at, but now he commandeth all men to repent.That was verse 30.Then verse 31 .....because he hath appointed a day,in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man he hath ordained,wherefore he hath given assurance unto all men,in that hath raised him from the dead.Some heard of the resurrection of the dead and mocked: and orthers said,we will hear thee again of this matter.Jesus is not far from you.He gives all life and we all are his offspring.Be one that seeks him and finds him.Jeremiah 29:13

Good morning,just some observations this morning. Politics and the media.Its been reported....something nasty about Donald Trumps past marriage issues.News Flash:The Donald and his ex are on very friendly terms,and he and his children are as well.Anyone that thinks a man like Trump does not expect this kinda stuff,is fooling themselves.You don't have the smarts to become a billionaire,and then run for President and not be prepaired for these things.The relentless attacks from talking heads in the media is very obvious.While im at it...since when does the press become parents,religious gods,moral police,and they get to decide who our presidential nominnees are gonna be! Aweful just aweful.While im at it Young parents,please go to an evangelical church,a small church,raise your children there.Listen to the pastor.If ur not saved,get saved.Spread the true Gospel of Christ,old and new testament.Sounds simple? Listen up,if you want ur nation to be rescued from its self.....Being born again will do it.Being in fellowship with Christ,reading the Holy Bible,and praying often,can change the world. DO it before its to late.Find a small church who needs you.And start taking back our nation.Anybody can go to a large church and get lost in the crowd.Thats for people who think they are not good enough to serve God.But they are. (Just some thoughts)

WHEN SOMEONE WANTS TO BE SAVED. What to say.

A damsel possessed with a spirit of divination who was a fortune teller,that brought her masters much gain by her actions,met up with Paul and Silas and followed them for days mocking them for their preaching Christ and him crucified and the way of salvation.She has a evil spirit from within her.Paul listened for days and finally with heart that was stressed out with the evil she spoke,commanded the spirit to leave her and it did. Then the masters of this woman were angry and delivered Paul and Silas to the magistrates telling them Paul and Silas were troubling their city.Paul and Silas were beaten,and jailed.They were placed in stocks even around their feet.The guard was told to keep them in prison safely,and he did. Then around midnight started praying and singing praises to God,and the other prisoners heard them.All of a sudden there was an earthquake,so bad that the foundations of the prison were shaken,and all doors flew opened and everyones bands were loosed.The keeper of the Prison woke up and seeing the doors opened drew out his sword to kill himself.But Paul cried out.......DO THYSELF NO HARM FOR WE ARE ALL HERE.tHE JAIL KEEPER ASK FOR A LIGHT ,THEN TREMBLED AND FELL DOWN AT THE FEET OF PAUL AND SILAS.He brought them out and said"sirs,what must i do to be saved"? Paul and Silas said.....Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ,and thou shalt be saved,and thou house.Then notice Paul and Silas spoke with the keeper and all his house right away. And they were all saved had their stripes washed and were baptised strightway. Lesson is what to say when someone wants to be saved.

Reviving churches,fixing broken doctrines and bad customs,this is ordained.Pointing people to Christ.

Interesting this morning.....Acts chapter 16:verses 1 thru 4. Its important that we are together as much as we can be. In one mind and accord. This short chapter tells us of how The Apostle Paul found Timothy.It tells us Timothy came from good stock. A split family,a Dad who was Greek who may not have been saved(a believer)and a mother who was.Paul wished that Timothy would follow him along. I love the 4th verse. They went thru cities they delivered them decrees for to keep.Decrees ordained by the apostles and the elders which were in JERUSALEM. If you study the travels of Paul,you will see he encountered much oppostion but also many followers,many who Chose to believe.My point is .....use the Holy scripture that are inspired by God.Meet on a regular basis to Pray,read the Bible and stay on the same page with the elders of the church. If you are an evangelist.....Preach the Gospel which includes the full council of God.God is both a merciful God and a judge as well.Understand your calling from God. Understand your gift he has given you.Teach the lost that to be saved is not saying we are sinless. It means we accepted the gift of salvation,paid for by Jesus and his blood,and because of it,we are counted as righteous by the HOLY Father in heaven. Put the word of God ahead of everything in your life individually,then ask God to clearly show you his plan for your life.But... from personal experience i have learned that by grace im saved thru faith.Nothing i can do to save myself. So i cannot boast.Its what Christ has done.My faith is in that. If you are in a particular church,the church needs help.......then the Pastor needs vision.Trust and vision.If he trust in the Lord,then the the Lord will direct him with a vision in his heart for his flock,and how to grow it. VS. 4 ....DECREES,ORDAINED BY THE PASTORS AND DEACONS AND ELDERS,AND Apostles in your church.THESE MEN AND WOMEN SHOULD HAVE A TESTIMONY about their salvation experience. Not just a resume of accomplishments since their conversion.The lost world all around us thinks they are not good enough to be saved. Where did they ever get that idea? Oh my ....we will never be good enough. CHRIST ALONE...IS GOOD ENOUGH. Don't let your love of yourself and sin keep you from your real meaning of existence.God created us to fellowship with him.We chose to run the other way. He has been and still is standing at the door of your heart asking to come in and talk to you,and have constant fellowship with you.vs. 5 of that same chapter shows us the results of Paul and Timothy's hard work. The church increased daily.Becoming a christian,spreading and teaching and preaching the Gospil of Jesus Christ is the most important thing any human can do.Everything else pails in comparison. It involves your soul.If you were the richest man on earth.....what could you give in exchange for your soul?(MARK CHAPTER 8 VERSE 37.)

Grace,unmerited favor.

Just a short note tonight.Its a great feeling To know that my faith is counted unto me as righteousness.God grace to me and my life for over 6 decades has been something of story.Coming from an insecure background,to God touching my heart at the age of 8,in a small church vacation bible school.Then 4 years later i on my own visited a small church in alabama heard people reading scripture about praying in secret and God rewarding you in the open.So i walked to my uncles house,went into the restroom,knelt down....and asked God to save me.That was 50 years ago.I have let the Lord down many years,yet he has been faithful to me Regardless.I love you Lord.Goodnight.

BE A ONESIPHOURUS!!!!!!

Oh my... in life there are few who will lay it all on the line for you. But listen to the Apostle Paul speak of a man who searched high and low until he found where the Romans had Paul in prison.The mans name was ONESIPHORUS. (VERSES 16,17,18 OF 2ND Timothy chapter 1) The lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphirous;for he oft(often)refreshed me,and was not ashamed of my chain:But when he was in Rome,he sought me out very diligently,and found me.The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy of the Lord in that day:and in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus,thou knowest very well. Of course Paul was writing to Timothy.If you don't feel the call to preach,or teach...by all means worship with a Christian church and be a Onesiphourus.
