SHARE THE GOSPEL!!

"How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher? My friend, I know you are praying for your family members who are not Christian. I heard you praying "Lord, please provide an opportunity for them to hear the gospel so that they might escape an eternity of separation from YOU". I saw tears streaming down your face as you imagine your loved ones engulfed in the flames of hell. Beloved, I have a question for you? In spite of your sincere interest in your family member's eternal future, I understand that you have never mustered up the courage to share the gospel with them, do you? Instead, you've asked God to do the task that He has ALREADY ASSIGNED TO YOU. Hey, sure, God could shout the gospel from heaven or supernaturally switch the the television program your loved ones are watching from "YOUNG AND RESTLESS or MURDER SHE WROTE to an EVANGELISTIC CRUSADE OF BILLY GRAHAM. But BUT, God's preferred plan is for YOU to explain the way of salvation to your family member. You don't have to have a PhD to share your testimony and your experience of salvation. STOP THIS UPWARD DELEGATION OR ASSIGNMENT TO SOMEBODY ELSE. YOU GOT TO DO WHAT YOU GO TO DO FRIEND

FORGIVENESS!!

"For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly father will also forgive your trespasses". Matthew 6:14. My friend, everything we think about forgiveness is measured with our little yard sticks, isn't it? Jesus was not teaching that believers earned God's forgiveness by forgiving others, but He is saying if we have truly experienced God's forgiveness, then we should be ready to forgive others. Man, if we are not getting along with our own family members how can we claim to have right relationship with our Father? Here is how we measure forgiveness. 1) We think WHO. Who should we forgive? Are they worthy of our forgiveness? 2) WE think HOW MUCH? We measure the things on our list. We say "I can forgive that - NO PROBLEM to some and I could NEVER forgive that to others- RIGHT? 3) We think HOW OFTEN. "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me". This sounds familiar to you? "Nobody's going to do that to me again"- Right? Aaanndd.. everyday you ask the Lord for forgiveness for everything you do and done. Brother, God's like, "Let's Compare. When people sin against you, your way of handling it is completely different than how I handle it when people sin against Me". Hey, It won't cost you a dime to be nice to somebody! Y'all hear me? GOOD!
