Yesterday I had the great pleasure of meeting with a fellow professor of the faith, quite by accident(?) I was at the bookstore, I have been wanting John MacArthurs study bible. I observed an older lady looking at the tract carousel, I went over to her and asked her if she had ever seen the million dollar bill tract before? She saw it and laughed, we had a great 30-45 minutes of fellowship, discussing many subjects, and our testimonies. We had some very deep discussions about the emerging church, and the apostasy that is rampant in our Nation and world today! What a blessing it was to meet a "family" member and benefit from her years of service to the Lord! I even felt like I was able to offer her some of my "Infant" wisdom.. well not mine, but from the Word of God. We both agreed that ALL teaching we are exposed to, MUST be tested by the Holy Scriptures! Funny how we ended our great time of fellowship with that considering that we we're in the BEREAN Bookstore!!!
Remember my fellow soldiers in Christ, be like the bereans in Acts 17:11
"Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so."
Acts 17:11 (NASB)
It so absolutely imperative that we ONLY preach the Word, tested by the scriptures, this applies to our one-on-one witnessing as well. We offer no benefit to the lost, by watering down Gods Holy Word so it won't offend! Let the power of His word pierce the heart of those who perish, so that the golden thread of the Gospel of Salvation will enter their hard cold hearts. Let it drive them to their knees in repentance, begging for Mercy, and entering TRUE conversion unto Salvation in Jesus Christ. Our God is a Mighty God indeed!
Keep Fishing until the nets are full, and the harvest comes!
