We had a permit to carry class this past week at our church… I put up a picture and then commented that we led 21 people to Christ at the event. The post blew up with mostly negative comments. Why no social distancing… why a gun class- Jesus wouldn’t carry a gun or kill someone, why no masks, I am spreading COVID…
I have some patience for those who do not know Christ… and there are many who call themselves Christians… but they actually do not have a relationship with God.
Matthew 12 - how to tick off religious people/pharisees
Jesus asks the Pharisees is it right to heal a man on the Sabbath… but the Pharisees are so determined to be right, that they forget to be righteous…
You are so full of what's right, you can't see what's good. Joseph Fletcher - this quote reminds me of what dad used to say, you can be 100% right and dead wrong at the same time! (The Pharisees lived this)
all the time and effort we spend fighting to not share Christ…
I really want to know of those who were so critical… why don’t you share Christ… I know all of you, I know your lifestyle… why don’t you share Jesus?
Jesus said that when one sinner comes to Christ the angels rejoice…
The angels rejoice in scripture over 2 things: Jesus/God the father and when a sinner comes to Christ.
They don’t rejoice when you correct the sinner or the saint
They don’t rejoice when you point out opinion
They don’t rejoice when someone does not stay 6 feet a part
They do not rejoice when you wear a face mask
They do not rejoice at your FB post about how irresponsible a person is
THEY REJOICE OVER SINNERS COMING TO CHRIST.
That is where I am going to focus my time and energy.
What was most striking about my post is that those who were negative are the ones who do not share Christ at all… nothing, nada, zilch, zero,
Someday we will stand before Christ… and he is going to judge our lives and how we lived according to his mission:
His mission? Go into all the world and preach the gospel, baptizing people in my name, heal the sick, lame blind deaf…
ALL I KNOW IS I WILL HAVE NO EXCUSES TO BACK ME UP… JUST MY LIFESTYLE.
2 days ago in the gym I prayed for a young man paralyzed from the waist down… I wish I could say he got up and walked… he didn’t but I am still praying and believing… to those who posted negative comments… I dare you to start living the gospel before you laud your opinion.
Enough with the excuses “I live my life and let my life do the talking”…
That doesn’t cut it… Jesus said GO, preach, gospel, in the world
GO - immediacy
Preach - you gotta open your mouth
Gospel - we are all sinners heading to hell without Jesus forgiveness
The World - its a mean, nasty, bad, evil place… but we still GO- we don’t wait for the easy access pass to share the gospel.
Those who don’t share Christ… your opinion means nothing to me. You anger me the way Christ was angered with the Pharisees pious behavior. WHY? because people are going to hell. people are living daily with hopelessness and hatred and emptiness… and you have the cure!
Its not some can and some can’t… it’s simply some will and some won’t.
