Tract & Treat this Halloween!

2010-09-15T20:46:00.000-07:00

Halloween is a great opportunity to reach a lot of people with the gospel. It's a night where the "fish" come directly to your door. It would be a shame to miss out on such a chance to witness or tract. The video posted is a humorous one with a very serious message. We as Christians are commanded to go and preach the gospel to every creature. This is the perfect night for all kinds of "creatures" to come to your door and for you to give them the life changing Gospel of Jesus.

We do not get children at our door as our neighborhood is extremely small but we don't let that stop us...we take the treats and the tracts to them! Watch and enjoy the video and hopefully you will get ideas as well about how to use Halloween to our advantage as Evangelists and Christians. God Bless.

Halloween tracts are available at www.customtractsource.com or through www.bezeugen.org

The Candy Maker

2010-06-28T16:52:00.000-07:00

Tom and I had the great honor of being asked to go speak on Evangelism at Pacific Baptist Church last night. It was our first time speaking anywhere like this, other than atop a trash can or a box. ;-) We were very nervous, but we just pray that what we spoke honored God and blessed the wonderful people of Pacific Baptist. We thank you very much for the honor of visiting and sharing with you. What a blessing to us it was. Here is "part" of Tom's sermon, the "Candy Maker", I thought the analogy really was a good way to explain the poison of the Modern Gospel.

WHAT A BLESSING THIS VIDEO IS TO WATCH....It brought a tear to my eye as I watched a man who has nothing and is homeless sing with joy and praise to God. I will think twice before I complain about my job or my dinner, or my life after watching this. Great Video, take a look.

Arch-Reach this saturday, 5-15-10

2010-05-10T21:17:00.000-07:00

This Saturday, May 15th, 2010; from 1:30 to 4:30pm approximately two dozen evangelists will converge on the St. Louis Arch to spread the gospel to the masses who visit the arch each weekend. There are people from all states and even countries there at any given time. It's a perfect way to "reach the world" while never leaving "home".

Thanks be to God for all He has done with our ministry, Just Truth, we know God has plans for it and for us this coming summer and year that we cannot even imagine. It started about two years ago as a blog that my husband and I would share our evangelism efforts. We named it "Just Truth" because that is all we ever want it to be....sharing Just the Truth of God's grace and love in that "while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us".

When we started it, it was just my husband and I and our kids with us and we prayed and prayed and wondered why so many professing Christians would rather have a root canal than go and share their faith. We became discouraged. But still we couldn't quit on what we knew God was calling us to do. This testimony is not to say "look at us" but to share that if you persevere, God will do it. When you know He is calling you to something....just do it, even if you feel alone and wonder why you are not calling it quits, when it seems like nobody else is interested...Don't Quit! God may be teaching you patience and He may have much more in the works than you know.

My husband had the idea of going to the Arch, and though we were normally alone in our evangelism, he mentioned this idea to several others who expressed interest in evangelism...he sent several emails trying to organize a trip to the arch....no replies. Again discouragement set in...and he mentioned it to a dear friend of ours, who said "Go anyway, even if it is just you, just Go."...so we did...we planned it anyway, and trusted God and God supplied the laborers...once we committed to go anyway, even if we ended up there alone...God moved; and people we didn't even know started to call us and find our site and ask to go with us....and the Arch-Reach became a reality in April of last month with over a dozen evangelists in attendance. The gospel was preached, and many people from all over heard the Good News. It was an amazing time.

We have decided that we will try our best to make it a monthly event. God made it possible for us to have tracts specifically designed for the Arch events made up and they will be debuted this Saturday for the first time there. (see above photo).

He again organized laborers to go with us and this time out there will be about two dozen of us there to proclaim the gospel. Please be in prayer for us and for this effort. God bless all who go with us and all who pray for those that go. Praise the Lord for what He can do with a willing servant and an obedient heart.

For His Glory,

Michele

ps...I will update this after the Arch-Reach this Saturday.

Back in Circulation

2010-05-08T20:35:00.001-07:00

I was having major technical difficulties with this blog a few months ago and could not even get into it, let alone update it, so it is nice to be back. I have no idea what was wrong with it, but apparently it is fixed. PTL.

New posts soon....

Refreshing to hear the Gospel in Church

2010-02-21T18:05:00.000-08:00

Some of you know that, as of late, my family has been searching for a new church, one that is biblical and preaches the truth, uncompromised, no matter what. Today we visited a very tiny church near us that we didn't even know existed until about a month ago. After leaving a church where most sermons were "good common sense advice" at best, it was totally refreshing to hear the LAW & GRACE preached from the pulpit. After all, isn't that what Jesus is all about? He came to save us from the judgement of breaking God's laws. He paid our fine so we could go free. Yet sadly, today, in a lot of churches, all you hear is Jesus being compared to little more than a genie in a bottle; for us to say the right "magic words" and He will do as we command; and where He is totally hand tied without our say-so on an issue. Do we even realize we are talking about Almighty God? The same God who holds your next breath? The same God who literally spoke the world into existence? The same God who holds back His wrath from and totally sinful world? Do we realize that we make ourselves (the created) to be in charge of the creator? Think about that? Churches will have a lot to answer for when that day comes. Pastors I beg you to think about what you are preaching. Do not elevate yourselves and humans in general above the Lord of the Universe. I have come from a word/faith background and now that I can see what that really means, I am floored that I ever believed that at all. To make ourselves to be in control of anything is foolish at best.

We need to get back to the basics of the gospel and of why Jesus came, and it wasn't to give you your "best life now" or that new car or to make your wallet fat. It was to save your soul from hell....period. To restore fellowship between us and the Father...to reserve your place in heaven. We need to use words in church like sin, repentance, and hell. We need to show people what is really at stake, its not their lifestyle or their possessions, but their life, their soul.

I was so relieved to hear of at least one church in my area that believes that too. Praying for the remnant to stand up and be heard. God Bless.

It Was An Honor

2010-01-29T06:35:00.001-08:00

I apologize for not updating this blog sooner, my family had some medical issues to take care of; however things are looking to slow down now, I hope, so I can get back to my blog posts among other things. I receive Ray Comfort's blog via email called "Atheist Central" and today this photo was on his blog. Apparently the atheists cannot let an opportunity pass by to belittle Ray and Kirk for their faith in God and their love for the lost. Ray, as usual, is not dismayed, he takes it all with a wonderful sense of humor. God bless him and his ministry for all they do so selflessly.

I wanted to post the other side of the coin today, and tell you what an honor, a true honor, it was to be even a small part of that amazing project called "Origin into Schools".

Origins into Schools was a project where Darwin's book "The Origin of species" (which is public domain) was reprinted with a 50 page gospel presentation added to the beginning of the book. It was handed out free of charge on 100 + campuses nationwide this last fall during the 150th Anniversary of the book.

My husband and I were given the honor of leading the team that went to the Washington University campus in St. Louis. I would do it again in an instant. It was a lot of work but such a blessing to us, our team and to the students and faculty on the campus. Not only on the Wash U campus, but many other campuses around the country and even into England. There were, of course, some who didn't want us there that day, but many more thanked us for the book and were happy to get it. All in all, over 125,000 people were given the gospel of Jesus that day. It never ceases to amaze me what God can do with a willing vessel if we will allow Him to use us. It was a privilege to be part of the Wash U team that went out to do this and to be a part of the project itself, and most of all to serve my Lord and Savior that day in that way. I look forward to future opportunities to work with people like Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron while serving our Lord. Thank you to all the staff at Living Waters for being willing to serve. God Bless.

GOD vs. Science

2010-01-11T18:50:00.000-08:00

I received this in an email today, and found it very interesting, and wanted to share it with you. Even if it is "only a story"; it definitely makes you think...enjoy.

'Let me explain the problem science has with religion.'

The atheist professor of philosophy pauses before his class and then asks one of his new students to stand.

'You're a Christian, aren't you, son?'

'Yes sir,' the student says.

'So you believe in God?'

'Absolutely.. '

'Is God good?'

'Sure! God's good.'

'Is God all-powerful? Can God do anything?'

'Yes'

'Are you good or evil?'

'The Bible says I'm evil.'

The professor grins knowingly. 'Aha! The Bible! He considers for a moment. 'Here's one for you. Let's say there's a sick person over here and you can cure him. You can do it. Would you help him? Would you try?'

'Yes sir, I would.'

'So you're good!'

'I wouldn't say that.'

'But why not say that? You'd help a sick and maimed person if you could.

Most of us would if we could. But God doesn't.'

The student does not answer, so the professor continues. 'He doesn't, does he? My brother was a Christian who died of cancer, even though he prayed to Jesus to heal him. How is this Jesus good? Can you answer that one?'

The student remains silent. 'No, you can't, can you?' the professor says.

He takes a sip of water from a glass on his desk to give the student time to relax. 'Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?'

'Er..yes,' the student says..

'Is Satan good?'

The student doesn't hesitate on this one. 'No.'

'Then where does Satan come from?'

The student falters. 'From God'

'That's right. God made Satan, didn't he? Tell me, son. Is there evil in this world?'

'Yes, sir..'

'Evil's everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything, correct?'

'Yes.'

'So who created evil?' The professor continued, 'If God created everything, then God created evil, since evil exists, and according to the principle that our works define who we are, then God is evil.'

Again, the student has no answer. 'Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things, do they exist in this world?'

The student squirms on his feet. 'Yes.'

'So who created them?'

The student does not answer again, so the professor repeats his question.

'Who created them?' There is still no answer. Suddenly the lecturer breaks away to pace in front of the classroom. The class is mesmerized. 'Tell me,' he continues onto another student. 'Do you believe in Jesus Christ, son?'

The student's voice betrays him and cracks. 'Yes, professor, I do.'

The old man stops pacing. 'Science says you have five senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Have you ever seen Jesus?'

'No sir. I've never seen Him.'

'Then tell us if you've ever heard your Jesus?'

'No, sir, I have not..'

'Have you ever felt your Jesus, tasted your Jesus or smelled your Jesus? Have you ever had any sensory perception of Jesus Christ, or God for that matter?'

'No, sir, I'm afraid I haven't.'

'Yet you still believe in him?'

'Yes'

'According to the rules of empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your God doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?'

'Nothing,' the student replies.. 'I only have my faith..'

'Yes, faith,' the professor repeats.. 'And that is the problem science has with God. There is no evidence, only faith.'

The student stands quietly for a moment, before asking a question of His own. 'Professor, is there such thing as heat?'

Yes.

'And is there such a thing as cold?'

'Yes, son, there's cold too.'

'No sir, there isn't.'

The professor turns to face the student, obviously interested. The room suddenly becomes very quiet. The student begins to explain.' You can have lots of heat, even more heat, super-heat, mega-heat, unlimited heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat, but we don't have anything called 'cold'..

We can get down to 458 degrees below zero, which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold; otherwise we would be able to go colder than the lowest -458 degrees. Every body or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (-458 F) is the total absence of heat.. You see, sir, cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat we can measure in thermal units because heat is energy. Cold Is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.'

Silence across the room. A pen drops somewhere in the classroom, sounding like a hammer.

'What about darkness, professor. Is there such a thing as darkness?'

'Yes,' the professor replies without hesitation. 'What is night if it isn't darkness?'

'You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is not something; it is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light, but if you have no light constantly you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? That's the meaning we use to define the word. In reality, darkness isn't. If it were, you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?'

The professor begins to smile at the student in front of him. This will be a good semester. 'So what point are you making, young man?'

'Yes, professor. My point is, your philosophical premise is flawed to start with, and so your conclusion must also be flawed.'

The professor's face cannot hide his surprise this time. 'Flawed? Can you explain how?'

'You are working on the premise of duality,' the student explains.. 'You argue that there is life and then there's death; a good God and a bad God.

You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought.' 'It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one.

To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life, just the absence of it.' 'Now tell me, professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?'

'If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, young man, yes, of course I do.'

'Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?'

The professor begins to shake his head, still smiling, as he realizes where the argument is going. A very good semester, indeed.

'Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you now not a scientist, but a preacher?'

The class is in uproar. The student remains silent until the commotion has subsided. 'To continue the point you were making earlier to the other student, let me give you an example of what I mean.' The student looks around the room. 'Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the professor's brain?'

The class breaks out into laughter. 'Is there anyone here who has ever heard the professor's brain, felt the professor's brain, touched or smelt the professor's brain? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, with all due respect, sir.' 'So if science says you have no brain, how can we trust your lectures, sir?'

Now the room is silent. The professor just stares at the student, his face unreadable. Finally, after what seems an eternity, the old man answers. 'I guess you'll have to take them on faith.'

'Now, you accept that there is faith, and, in fact, faith exists with life,' the student continues. 'Now, sir, is there such a thing as evil?' Now uncertain, the professor responds, 'Of course, there is. We see it everyday. It is in the daily example of man's inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but evil.'

To this the student replied, 'Evil does not exist sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God's love present in his heart. It's like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light.'

The professor sat down.

The Handiwork of God

2010-01-06T16:51:00.001-08:00

I was thinking about the snow that is coming this week, starting tonight; and my mind wandered to snowflakes. Individual snowflakes and how amazing they are and how each one is different. No two are exactly the same....yet all are beautiful. Seashells are the same way, each is different, and gorgeous, even among the same type; every one is different....Then I started thinking about God and all the gorgeous intricate things He created. Each is beautiful in its own way, and unique and special...and all were created by God. Everything from the smallest shell to the largest tiger, most spectacular sunset, most detailed bird, flower, butterfly....all created by the Lord of all. Have you ever stopped to think about that? How utterly amazing God is and how beautiful creation is? When you look at all the different things in the world, how anyone can say "there is no God" is beyond me. Personally I think they choose not to see God in creation because then they have free reign to live as they please. If they were to admit there is a God, then they would have to admit they are sinners and that there is a God to answer to someday.

I was recently in a conversation with someone who said he believed in evolution because a creator was just "too much to believe"....and I was fortunate enough to be able to go through and show him the law and the gospel and how it takes much more faith to believe in everything coming from nothing as in evolution, than it does to believe that an all powerful being created everything perfectly. He did say that what I said made sense and that he would think about it and read the gospel of John as I had asked him to please do. I pray that the Lord of the harvest would open his eyes to see the beauty of creation, not the "chance" of evolution.

All have sinned and fallen short of Gods standards, we have all lied, stolen something even something small, coveted something that someone else had, basically broken Gods laws. But that is why Jesus came, fully God and fully man, born of a virgin, to pay the penalty for our sins. To take the punishment that is rightly ours. Because God loves us, He sent His son to die a horrible death, for you and for me. All we need do is repent of our sins, (turn from them and do them no more) and trust in Jesus to save us. Because God is a just God and a fair judge, sin must be punished. Jesus became the one to be punished for us, so that we can be free. The God of the universe, the one who created everything...the one who gives you each breath you take, became the payment for our sins against Him. Think about that! We deserve nothing, yet he gave everything. Please repent today and trust in Jesus. For more information, please visit www.needgod.com

I hope you enjoy the preceding photos of our Lords handiwork. :)

2009 A year in review

2009-12-31T20:07:00.000-08:00

I am blessed to have been a part of alot of things for the Lord this past year. The year started out and I was barely able to pass out a tract without looking to hide afterward. Then my husband and I were fortunate enough to be able to attend the Ambassadors Academy of Living Waters Ministry out in Los Angeles, CA.

We were a part of a group of 60+ evangelists in training for an intense type of "evangelist boot camp" for three and a half days. We had training from the best of the best in Evangelism. People like Ray Comfort, Kirk Cameron, E-Z Zwayne, Mark Spence, Tony Miano and others. It was amazing. We had a full day of intense training in the classroom and then the next two days is where the rubber hit the road and we were out on Hollywood blvd and glendale and even Huntington beach pier. I highly recommend it to anyone even remotely interested in learning how to biblically and correctly share their faith. You will not regret it. It truly is life changing, and I am planning to attend again this coming year to be pushed further yet out of my comfort zone. I'm excited to see what the Lord will do this coming year.

Like I said, before the academy, I could barely hand out a tract; but since the academy training and linking up with other like minded evangelist brothers and sisters almost daily via facebook and phone and emails, and was even able to meet another academy graduate from Indiana over the Thanksgiving holiday to go out as a team and witness and share the gospel. I have learned a lot this year and have really grown in my evangelism. Most recently I have had the honor of being a "fisherman" for the internet radio show called Ambassadors Alliance radio, which is hosted by Tony Miano, the director of the Ambassadors Academy, and an amazing evangelist himself. I was able to speak with a young lady named Katie and a young man named Cody and give them tracts, new testaments and the gospel. The experiences have really been a blessing in that I am more eager to get out there and do this type of thing more and more. Also since the academy I have handed out probably thousands of tracts at parades, for Halloween and just in general, as well as Open Air preached on several occasions. I have grown alot I think this last year and traveled out of my comfort zone in evangelism more than once. It always amazes me how God can and will use us if we only avail ourselves to be his willing vessels.

I dont say all this to say "look at me, see what I've done this year" but to encourage those who were like i was at the beginning of this year....those who can barely get up the courage to hand out a tract. I still get nervous and scared, but you have to just get over it and do it. Just do it. You will be amazed how God will use you when you are willing. Not only will you be a blessing to someone else, but you will even see that you are blessed by watching someone else be blessed.

In closing, I am very excited to see what the Lord has in store for 2010. I pray it is more stretching and pushing me further out of my area of comfort and more into the evangelist He wants me to be. I do it all "4 His Glory". :-)

(if you have never considered going to the Ambassadors Academy, let me encourage you to do so, you will never regret it. For more information go to www.livingwaters.com )

Let this video inspire you to go and fulfill the Great Commission!

2009-12-26T20:31:00.000-08:00

For all those "evangelists" who are discouraged and want to give up, who don't see any results from their sacrifices and labors. For the countless hours you have traded family time and relaxation for insults and rejections....Please DON'T QUIT!! This is for you, enjoy!

2009-12-24T15:04:00.000-08:00

Twas the night before Jesus came…

…and all through the house

Not a creature was praying not one in the house

Their Bibles were lain on the shelf without care

In hopes that Jesus would not come there.

The children were dressing to crawl into bed,

Not once ever kneeling or bowing a head.

And mom in her rocker with baby on her lap

Was watching the late show while I took a nap.

When out of the East there arose such a clatter,

I sprang to my feet to see what was the matter.

Away to the window I flew like a flash

Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash!

When what to my wondering eyes should appear

But angels proclaiming that Jesus was here.

With a light like the sun sending forth a bright ray

I knew in a moment this must be The Day!

The light of His face made me cover my head

It was Jesus! Returning just like He had said.

And though I possessed worldly wisdom and wealth,

I cried when I saw Him in spite of myself.

In the Book of Life which He held in His hand

Was written the name of every saved man.

He spoke not a word as He searched for my name;

When He said “It’s not here” my head hung in shame.

The people whose names had been written with love

He gathered to take to His Father above.

With those who were ready He rose without a sound

While all the rest were left standing around.

I fell to my knees, but it was too late;

I had waited too long, and thus sealed my fate.

I stood and I cried as they rose out of sight;

Oh, if only I had been ready tonight.

In the words of this poem the meaning is clear;

The coming of Jesus is drawing near.

There’s only one life and when comes the last call

We’ll find that the Bible was true after all!

Every Christian Can

Mary's Dream

I had a dream Joseph. I don't understand it, not really, but I think it was about a birthday celebration for our Son. I think that was what it was all about. The people had been preparing for it for about 6 weeks.

They had decorated the house and bought new clothes. They'd gone shopping many times and bought elaborate gifts. It was peculiar, though, because the presents weren't for our Son. They wrapped them in beautiful paper and tied them with lovely bows and stacked them under a tree.

Yes, a tree, Joseph, right in their house! They'd decorate the tree also. The branches were full of glowing balls and sparkling ornaments. There was a figure on top of the tree. It looked like an angel might look. Oh, it was beautiful!

Everyone was laughing and happy. They were all excited about the gifts. They gave gifts to each other, Joseph, not to our Son. I don't think they even knew Him! They never mentioned His name. Doesn't it seem odd for people to go to all the trouble to celebrate someone's birthday if they don't know Him? I had the strangest feeling that if our Son had gone to this celebration He would have been intruding.

Everything was so beautiful, Joseph, and everyone so full of cheer, but it made me want to cry. How sad for Jesus - not to be wanted at His own birthday celebration. I'm glad it was only a dream. How terrible, Joseph, if it had been real!

COMPROMISE a four letter word??

2009-12-11T15:36:00.001-08:00

B: You involve yourselves with questions such as abortion. I am assuming that The Salvation Army is against it?

S.C. That's too simple. We are not as conservative as our catholic brothers and sisters. There are situations in which abortion is the lesser evil, for instance in cases of severe deformities of the foetus, [or] rape. We try to support women who find themselves in this situation and to be loyal to them, even if they make decisions that we ourselves might not have made.

The above was a quote from a General in the Salvation Army. An organization that most of us respect for all the help they give to hurting people. I, for one, donated to them many times, until now. It has come to my attention via a dear friend on facebook that the salvation army is just one more "ministry" which compromises when it comes to biblical truths.

When asked if the SA (salvation army) is against abortion, he replied with "That's too simple". Too simple?? How hard is it to understand when the Lord said "THOU SHALT NOT MURDER" and that even hating someone was murder already? I am sure that Jesus would NOT support the murder of innocent babies UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. yet we turn a blind eye because of any number of reasons. Shame on us. This man went on to say "There are situations in which abortion is the lesser evil, for instance in cases of severe deformities or rape". Who decides what deformity is severe enough to snuff out a life?

Jeremiah 1:5
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."

Who are we to decide who is worthy to be born and who isnt? Where is the scriptures supporting this COMPROMISE? For a rape instance, it is a horrible thing to have to endure, and the chances of becoming pregnant from a rape are so small its barely an issue...and even still, is it the babies fault? No, yet who do we punish?...who pays the price? The baby. We call it a Fetus so that it removes the human element of it....sounds more clinical, sterile, to just call it a fetus and not a living, growing, and yes, feeling, human baby. Makes it easier on the conscience. It's still compromising biblical principles for a ministry to condone it in any sense. Compromise for a Christian, as far as biblical truth is concerned, should be a four letter word.

I believe it is shameful and heretical to support a ministry that condones this murdering of infants. When are Christians going to stand up for what is biblical and stop trying to compromise to please man. Time is ticking, where is the remnant of Gods people,...the real and true uncompromising bride of Christ?

I was to go out this Saturday with a local church to be a bell ringer for the Salvation Army but upon learning that they do indeed support abortion "in certain instances"...I will no longer be going out to support them.

THIS IS CHRISTmas! It's NOT ABOUT SANTA

2009-12-09T15:56:00.000-08:00

America is no longer a Christian nation, I have to agree with Obama on that, probably the only thing i can say i agree with him on, but nevertheless....Here is an article that i received in email today from the ACLJ.

Where are all the "Christians"? If over half the population regards themselves as "Christian" then why can't we defeat this legislation?? I will tell you why, because we are NOT a Christian nation.

Christian means to be Christ-like. How Christ-like are you? How do you vote on major issues? Do you stand up for what is biblical and right? WWJD? OR, do you go to church on Sunday and live like hell on Monday thru Saturday? It is time for the real Christians to say enough is enough and get off our duffs and do something. Hand out a tract! Picket something like an abortion clinic! We are the army of God and we are still sleeping. Wake up church!! Wake up and fulfill what God calls us to do. Preach the gospel to every creature. Time is running out, 150,000 people a day die and pass into eternity...most would probably call themselves Christian, yet they are not. But I'm getting off topic....here is the article to which i was referring. I will post more about Christians getting motivated soon.

Breaking news out of Washington: The Senate has voted down (54-45) the amendment prohibiting the federal funding - your tax dollars - of abortion within health care reform legislation. View my latest video report immediately!

We've been engaged in this issue from the very start, as you know - and simply put, this rejection of such a critical pro-life measure is a callous disregard for the protection of innocent human life.

Just a few weeks ago, the House passed the Stupak-Pitts Amendment - calling for a prohibition of abortion funding. But now, in the Senate, by a handful of votes, a similar amendment brought by Senators Ben Nelson and Orrin Hatch has failed.

The ACLJ's Government Affairs team, as always, is right in the middle of the fight to preserve life ... and that battle continues.

The next step? We'll have one more chance to defeat abortion funding in health care legislation during what's called the ''Joint Reconciliation'' process.

For details, be sure to watch my brand-new online video report now.

Thanks for all you do - your prayers and your support - to keep us advancing life and liberty on your behalf.

Ambassadors Academy

2009-12-07T18:53:00.000-08:00

I am a graduate of the Ambassadors Academy #12 which took place in August of this year. I can tell you that it is probably the best training for witnessing and open air preaching I know of in this country. The academy is a part of the ministry of Living Waters in California and you will not find a more thorough and biblical evangelism training center anywhere.

Right now they have announced a new set of sessions for the coming year and to top it off the cost of attending has been cut in half. It is only $300 to attend. This is a great time to apply. You will receive one to one training as well as intense classroom training by some of the best evangelists in the nation. People like: Ray Comfort, Kirk Cameron, and others. Then you will be taken out to some of the best "fishing holes" in California; Hollywood blvd, Huntington beach and Glendale. It is an amazing time of fellowship and learning. I cannot recommend it enough.

It is definitely a life changing event and I highly recommend it for anyone interested in learning how to biblically share their faith with others.

For more information please visit www.livingwaters.com ....You won't regret it. :-)

The time is coming when this will happen more and more. We need to be out there with the biblical gospel while we still can.

This is my very first blog post, I had intended to title the first post “Few who find it” and talk about something in particular, but that will have to wait for another day as God had other plans for today. You see today I spent 3 hours as a Salvation Army volunteer at the mall near our home. We did this for two reasons…one, to help out the Salvation Army who helps so many all year round; and two, to have an opportunity to hand out gospel tracts and talk to some folks about their eternal destiny, or to at the very least make them think about it.

The day went well. My husband and I and our daughter went up to the mall and rang the bell and handed out tracts for quite a while, nothing earth shattering happened there, not much conversation since it was pretty cold out and everyone wanted to either get in the warm store or get in their warm cars, but we handed out several hundred tracts and planted many seeds. It

was a successful day. Any day where you hand out even one tract is a success.

It was what happened after that on my way home from the grocery store later that I want to share with you. I guess if I were to give this post a title it would be “ARE YOU READY”?

On the way home from the grocery store later in the afternoon, I passed by what looked like a person pulled over on the side of the road who I thought was probably getting a ticket; until I got closer and realized it was a car stopped in the middle of the opposite lane with a person laying on the ground in front of it. Could it really be what I was seeing? Is that person dead? Did they know Jesus? Where were they now in the blink of an eye? As I passed by, I could see that it was a woman who looked to be laying in front of a car as if to reach under and repair something, but

she wasn’t. She wasn’t moving at all and her eyes were closed. She was laying on her side like she was just sleeping.

I passed the scene and started to pull over to see if I could help but in the rearview mirror I saw several people on both sides of the road who had also pulled over going to see if they could help. Not being good in an emergency situation, I thought it best that I prayed for her, and them, and didn’t get in the way of a rescue. But the entire incident is the reality of how fragile our lives are, in a single breath they can be gone. I pray that she will recover with no lasting effects but from the look of the scene, I do not know.

I said all that to say, ARE YOU READY? As a Christian, are you ready to go into all the world and preach the gospel? How many people a day do we pass by with just a hello?…would it put us out that much to hand them a simple tract? I know I am guilty as well of not taking every opportunity. It is not hard to do. “Did you get one of these? Or Merry Christmas” and hand them a tract. Most will take it. Some will not.

We are called to do this, yet only 2% of Christians share their faith. Why? Do we not care enough? Do we feel it’s none of our business? Are we too busy? Shame on us for not taking every and all opportunities to hand someone a tract or to talk to someone about eternity. We have this amazing treasure and the majority of Christians don't seem to want to share it.

If you are not a Christian, then I ask you the same. ARE YOU READY? Are you ready for eternity? Ten out of ten people die. Not most people,…ALL people die. Where will you go when it happens to you? Please consider it. The bible states that it is appointed unto men once to die and then the judgment. (Hebrews 9:27). We have all sinned and broken God’s laws and have to face a just and Holy God on judgment day. If you have ever lied one time, you are a liar. Ever stolen anything, no matter the value, you are a thief in God’s eyes. If you have even so much as looked at the opposite sex with lust, you have committed adultery in the eyes of God. That is how high His standards are. The bible says that all have sinned… (Romans 3:23).

We cannot possibly keep Gods high standards, and He knows this, that is why He sent His only son, God in the flesh, to take our punishment on the cross. WE broke God’s laws, and Jesus took our penalty. Why? Because he loves us. He loves you. All we need to do is repent and trust in Jesus to save us. Repent means to turn away from your sins. Trust means to believe that He paid your penalty and because of His sacrifice we can be freed from paying the price ourselves. Because God is a fair and Holy judge; someone has to pay for our sins…it will either be us, by an eternity in hell; or Jesus, by His sacrifice on the cross. I plead with you to consider this and repent and trust in Jesus today…while you still have time.

I pray the woman I saw today survived, and if she did not, then I pray she repented and trusted in the Lord to save her.

Let us take every opportunity the Lord gives us to reach others while there is still time.

Welcome to my blog. I decided to start my own site to discuss my views on Christianity today as well as Evangelism. My husband and I started the site called Just Truth, which he almost totally runs himself beautifully. I highly recommend checking it out. www.justtruth.net I also realized that I needed a place to call my own, to share my own thoughts and feelings on the matters of life and being a Christian in today's world. I also wanted it to glorify Jesus so it seemed pretty simple and "4HisGlory" was born. I pray that everything I post is complete truth and that it does indeed glorify my Lord. So, again, welcome to my very own blog....and God bless.
