Glad Tidings

Leave a comment

I heard today that as Disciples of Yeshua we are supposed to engage our culture and share His Gospel. 
Would you agree?

And if so, how do we engage this current culture?
AND does this current culture WANT us to engage them?

To engage today’s apart from Christ Culture we would be commanded to be truthful with them.
How likely is it for us to share the saving Gospel of JESUS with them if they see no need to be redeemed?
Redeemed from what they might say? 
Yet we know without the knowledge of sin, the conviction for sin, and the turning from sin to GOD  (repentance), no sinner is ever redeemed.  Romans 3:23-28

Moreover, we understand from Scripture that sinners must own their sins before they can have their sins transferred to JESUS and have His Righteousness imputed to them.  
How do we impart the Gospel to a Culture if that Culture refuses to contemplate their sins? 

So, how do we engage this anti-Christ culture?

Now, I am assuming that the majority of the people who come to The White Stone come because they are already in the Christian Culture – that is they know JESUS in salvation or are in the habit of going to a church service from time to time.
Which means I am again more or less preaching to the choir.
But just in case, my last question here today is for the Culture.

So, Choir, how do YOU engage this culture?

And, Culture, how do YOU want to be engaged?

Romans 10:13-15  American Standard Version 

13 for, Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 
14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 
15 and how shall they preach, except they be sent? even as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that bring glad tidings of good things!    source

No, BUT HE will accept His Best, His Son, in YOUR STEAD.

Thinking this morning.
This started out as a Facebook post and grew to here. 

Have you realized JESUS The CHRIST is either GOD having come to earth in human flesh to communicate with us, to redeem us from our sins, and truly arose from the DEAD, or HE is the most corrupt, most EVIL, most VILE of all beings EVER?
And have you realized that The Bible is either the WORD of GOD or it is the vilest, most corrupt, insidious piece of writing ever put to paper?

You see my Friends, HE cannot be a good man, a good teacher, a good anything and say HE is GOD, and not be GOD.
The BIBLE cannot be a GOOD book and be filled with lies. It is either TRUTH or it isn’t.
And what if it is TRUTH and you regard it as lies, fables, fairy tales?
What then?
Or have you not read it enough to know what it says?
What if you really are called by GOD one day to give an account for believing or not believing JESUS and The Bible?  Romans 14:12

Where’s YOUR faith?
Does your faith say it is True or does your faith say all this is a lie?
Either position you take is FAITH, you see that don’t you?

You ARE relying on The Bible to either be true or to be a lie.
(Actually, you are staking your eternity on if the Bible is truth or lies.)

I am relying on it to be The Truth.
We both can’t be correct.
You do see that, don’t you?

2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is–his good, pleasing and perfect will.  source 

A verse to personalize today – to take personally; to address this verse not to those we love but to ourselves.

Yes. It’s High time for all GOD’s Children to no longer covet the lives of the rich and empty.
It’s time to lay hold of a Biblical worldview.

To think Scripture.
To allow Scripture to transform us, and this transformation occurs when my mind thinks differently, not like the people of this world think but what the Bible reveals is Truth and Life.
Only when we think Scriptually will we know what pleases Father — what His will is for us – each of us.

Excellent Storm Prep

FOR A LARGER VIEWING SCREEN, CLICK THE TITLE OF THIS POST ABOVE

What do we do when a storm is headed our way?

Let’s see.  We tune in to those who have expertise in the science of weather. 
We take in supplies. 
We batten down the hatches so to speak – secure outside objects that could be tossed about and cause damage. 
Some of us do up the laundry. We charge our phones. We locate our flashlights. 
And if we have a generator, we check our supply of fuel. 

We do all this because we believe a storm is headed our way. 

In other words, we take the threat seriously.

A temporal storm that will cause temporal damage to temporal property. 
However, in all this temporal there is the eternal to be considered. 

While a rain, thunder, and wind storm is a temporal occurrence and it may affect, damage, even destroy temporal property; it can do more — it can permanently end this temporal journey on planet earth for you, me, and/or the people we love. 
Then what? 

When a temporal event brings eternity into view — what then?

How do we prepare for the everlasting storm? 
It’s not one, One really wants to ride out, is it? 

Hell, I mean. The everlasting storm. 

Have you listened to The Expert about this eternal firestorm?
Have you as did the Five wise virgins purchased all the Oil you need to keep your lamp burning so the storm will pass you by? (I am referring to Matthew 25)

Storms. 
It’s important that we prepare, don’t you think? 

I suspect that many of you have exchanged your sins for the Righteousness of JESUS and I am rejoicing with you! 

IF, however, you have not and IF you can still HEAR the Voice of HOLY SPIRIT convicting you of your sins and your need of The Savior — that’s excellent!
It’s not too late for you — you can today, repent, trust and receive forgiveness, assurance, and deliverance in JESUS’ NAME. 

Allow me to give you an excellent link to an 
excellent illustration that has been an excellent help to me. Click HERE.

Yes. There is a temporal storm headed our way tonight and I am working on the laundry and my phone is charging — Ipad too.
