SRJC post

I've been going to the college once per week for the entire semester. I've missed a week here and there, but always make it back. It's been an interesting adventure. Talking with atheists, evolutionists, agnostics, and all other sorts about Jesus Christ. I've just hoped that He would plant His word in their heart. Today i spoke with the religous professor who has in essence studied his way out of christianity. He claimed to have been born again at one time, but isn't now. I just couldn't help but be amazed that a man would reject the God who made him, the One who died for him, and the One who lives forevermore. This has been a rough mission field..one in which most of the joy has come through the scattering of the seed...and some watering, but no harvest. But i draw comfort knowing that Jesus does the saving. yes we shared the gospel with many students today, and are praying that the Lord will cause many to be born again.

Continue Steadfast that He might work

My desire to see souls come to Christ drives me to places where the lost frequent...concerts, colleges, and the sort. My most common experience is rejection, mockery, and people thinking i'm nuts. But my strength is born out of spending time with Jesus Christ. He has woven into my character His love for lost souls. That's why i don't care if they spit, curse, reject, or plain ignore the preaching of the gospel. i have His love for them and even if no one will recieve..i will still share...because who truly knows what God will do..perhaps He will save some.

Ministry of Reconcilation

The ministry of the gospel is one of reconcilation...that in which people can get right with God through faith in Jesus Christ. People through obedience to the gospel can enter into the very presence of God..and God Himself will make His home with them. Now naturally this would be impossible..that is for me to save a man..but with God all things are possible. The Holy Spirit of Christ uses the preaching of the cross to save those who are perishing..My confidence is not in my ability to convert a man, but in the power of the Spirit of God and the good news of Jesus Christ. It is God who works in the hearts of man..that men might be truly born again. So, whether or not anyone responds favorably to the message of the cross, I am compelled to preach it. For I know that men must hear this message..for faith comes by hearing and hearing the words of Christ.

The Phoenix and too Short

This was a gangsta rapper concert. One in which sex, drugs, and other unholy things were being proclaimed as good. This was a concert in which hundreds of local youth would attend. My heart is to see the Lord Jesus work in the hearts of people. My friend John and I reached the place at approx 8 pm. The concert was sold out, the entrance was jam packed and the line went around the corner. We immediately set up right in front of the entrance on the sidewalk and began to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. My message is to warn people to turn from their sins and put their trust in Jesus Christ. That He alone is the Way of salvation. We preached for about 1 and half hours, and John handed out many tracts. One lady in particular thanked me for standing up for my beliefs..it seemed as though the Lord had opened her heart. For the most part people were mocking the preaching of the gospel..but we understand that it is God who draws men unto Himself. Hundrends of kids heard the message and we pray that God would cause those seeds to grow in due time.

Never Stop

I must never cease to share the Lord Jesus Christ with people!

The Word made flesh

Jesus Christ is the Word made flesh. This means that God Himself became one of us..a man! But why? For the suffering of death..to reconcile the world unto Himself. They mocked Him, pulled the hair from His beard, scourged Him, beat Him over the head, crowned Him with thorns, and nailed Him to the cross. This man was the Word made flesh. He was made flesh to do the will of God..for a body was prepared for Him. Jesus is the Lamb of God who took away the sin of the world. Jesus is the Lamb of God who was slain before the foundation of the world. And this is the Word in which we preach..the One who knew before He made all things what He must do!..He knew that through His death on the cross..that if a man should confess with his mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in his heart that God has raised Him from the dead..that this man shall be saved! This is the One we preach about..and we preach not alone for He has promised never to leave nor forsake us..but rather that He shall be with us always..even unto the end of the age! This is our Great God and Savior Jesus Christ..and if He is for us who..who..who can be against us! Always remember that faith comes by hearing the Word of God..speak His word and the Word shall speak through you!
