How to Live for One Thing

How to Live for One Thing

Do you really think life can be about one thing? In a world of so many options, how do we focus on what’s really important? Can experiencing God help us live confidently for Him?

The Apostle Paul, who wrote much of the New Testament, addresses these issues.

The Word

In the third chapter of the letter to the Philippians, Paul says that although he had many reasons to have “confidence in the flesh,” he counted “all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:48).

How To Develop Your Mind

How To Develop Your Mind

How can you develop your mind? A professor came upon a discovery and with it found out how to develop his mind. One day while getting dressed he was buttoning up his vest, actually his vest wouldn’t button, the reason? His daughter had sewn up the button holes. His fingers were going along as usual in their buttoning the vest when something happened; a button wouldn’t button! He looked down and realized why, but then a new idea was born!

Hearing From God

Hearing From God

How do I hear from God? Hearing from God for your own self can be difficult for most people because most people would rather have man to approve them, when God has already given each of us clear directives.  Are you working, going to school, studying, reading, working out, building friendships, but would love to spend alone time with God.  At times you may feel many things pulling you away from doing the very thing God has called you do. Those entire things are great in them self but we need to find what we are called to do and stick to that.

Prayer is so important. Prayer is touching God, and to reach the world we must do it through prayer first. In Luke 18:1 Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them not to give up on praying. Jesus also said “My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations” Mark 11:17.  In James 4:3 is all about our motives for praying, what motivation and why are we praying. It is clear to me that God wants us to pray selflessness.

What Road are you on?

Have you ever gone down a road where you can’t see what’s around the bend? You will never know what is around the bend until you keep going. You have enough faith to go down a road believing that good things are ahead. No one truly knows what is around the bend. Many situations can come up in our lives that are not planned for. With no PLAN, you have only planned to fail. Let me ask you a serious question about your eternity. When you die are you ready to meet God? YES OR NO?  You may ask how can I be ready to stand before God and be HOLY, PURE, and FULL OF LOVE in His sight. Let’s see what the Bible says:

  • ALL HAVE SINNED

“For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” Romans 3:23. “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it”? Jeremiah 17:9. “All of us like sheep has gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; But the LORD has caused the iniquity of us all to fall on Him.” Isaiah 53:6

  • SIN’S PENALTY

“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23 “And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire: this is the second death.” Rev 20:14

  • SIN’S PENALTY WAS PAID

“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8. “For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit.” 1 Peter 3:18

  • WE MUST REPENT

“For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces repentance without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death.” 

2 Corinthians 7:10

“Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to the LORD and He will have compassion on him, And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon.” Isaiah 55:7

  • WE MUST RECEIVE CHRIST

“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name:” John 1:12

YOU MUST RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST BY FAITH AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR.

  • YOU CAN BE SAVED TODAY

“That if you confess with your mouth the LORD JESUS and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10:9 “For WHO EVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.” Romans 10:13

GOD LOVES YOU AND WANTS YOU TO EXPERIENCE PEACE AND ETERNITY WITH HIM. SO THINK ABOUT IT, WHAT WILL YOU CHOOSE, LIFE OR DEATH? CHOOSE LIFE!!!

You are being asked into a relationship with the true and living God through Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. You can speak to God right now on your own. If you choose to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, best friend, and love of your life; then say this prayer to God:Jesus, I believe in you, I ask you to forgive me and I repent for my sins, wash me, and come into my heart. Be my Savior, my Lord and my very best friend. Come live your life through me, in Jesus’ name, Amen.” For more information please contact us. Thank you for taking your time and we hope and pray you will take God’s Word very seriously and commit your life to Jesus Christ and Him alone.

Cotton Bowl Outreach

The day began with an early morning rain shower and the air was cool. Around ten men of God came together at the AT&T Stadium where the Cotton Bowl was being held. Around 9:00AM January 2nd 2017 we all were shaking hands with each other and giving hugs of brotherly love. Partnering with JeremiahCry Ministry’s we were all ready to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ! As the weather was turning out to be blue skies and around 72 degrees and still wet on the ground from the early morning rain we could not have asked for better weather as we proclaimed the Gospel in the open air! We began with a word of prayer and then we went to different places around the Stadium, some stayed on the street corners to preach and others went on the other side of the street where people were walking to the Stadium to pass out tracks. Myself and William went to the front of the Stadium where the people were gathering to go into the Stadium. William and I started to pass out tracks and they were going like hotcakes. I saw a water fall near where we were and it reminded me of the scripture that says in John 7:37-38 (KJV) 37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. 38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. I turned to William and said let us go in front of the water fall and preach. I began to cry out with a loud voice with my Bible in hand lifted up calling all that could hear me to repent of their sin and come to faith in Jesus Christ. As the people turned and looked at me some started to raise their beer cans, give hand jesters, some looked with disgust and spite towards me, others smiled and kept walking, and even others said thank you for being out here. We had a few people coming up that requested us to pray for them and others questioned what we believed and what compels us to do what we were doing. Why all the different reactions? In so many words here is what we were saying.

The greatest thing about the Gospel of Jesus Christ is its utter simplicity; the Gospel is not hard to understand. Jesus never asked a person to clean up his life before he could be forgiven. Our Lord always walked into a person’s life right where they are, with all their sins, failures, guilty conscience, and imperfections. As we are proclaiming this truth people are yelling back “I am a sinner”, “I am going to heaven because I am a good person”. If they were mocking or being real with themselves it did not matter to us because we were there to tell the truth! The Bible tells us that God does love us. As it is written in John 3:16-18 (KJV) 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. As the truth of the Gospel was being proclaimed we were all calling on people to quit using their sinfulness as excuses for not receiving Christ as their Lord and Savior. Jesus said in Matthew 9:12, 13 (KJV) 12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Come to Jesus with all your sins, your bad habits, your guilt-ridden conscience, your problems that seem larger than life. Jesus is the divine physician. You will never be healed of your sin until you humble yourself before the only one who can meet your need. This is the simple truth of the Gospel and it is not difficult, because we preach faith alone in Jesus!

There were a lot of people that sat around to listen to the preaching and when we took turns preaching the previous preacher would have people waiting for him as they wanted to ask him questions about God. At one point when William was preaching and a man could not help it and walked right up to him and said pray for me. These are the moments that we long for humble men and women wanting to get right with God. As the game started the people began to get fewer and fewer and we have been preaching, and praying for people for two hours straight. We then all came together again sharing stores on what happened and snacking on some food we had. We started to pack up our belongings and we ended the outreach with thanks giving prayer to God! Later that day when I got home I got a text from one of the people that came with us saying let me know when the next outreach is “I loved it”!
