Psalm 29:1-2

Psalm 29:1-2 "1.Give unto the Lord, O you mighty ones, give unto the Lord glory and strength. 2.Give unto the Lord the glory due to His name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness."

This is a beautiful passage. "The glory due to His name", Christ alone is worthy of glory and honor. I will praise Him forever!

In His love always and forever,

Crushed Under the Wrath of God

As I'm sure everyone knows, today is Good Friday. It's the day of Jesus Christ's death on the cross. This day is so important to me and will be the rest of my life. It's the day that my Savior took my punishment and was crushed under the fierce wrath of God because of my sins. Oh, what a Savior! I look at the cross and see God pouring His cup of wrath on His very own Son. My lying, thieving, blasphemous, adulterous, murderous heart was placed upon Jesus on the cross.

"But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our
iniquities."- Isaiah 53: 5-6

I can't express the gratitude in my heart. How could a wretched and horrible sinner like me receive such grace? What am I that I would be called righteous before God? It's only because of Jesus Christ and His righteousness. He lived a perfect and sinless life, and He was the only One who could. He died on the cross and took my punishment that I deserve. I know I deserve the deepest part of Hell. My sins are so great before a perfect and holy God. ("...all liars shall have their part in the lake of fire."-Revelation 21:8; ...for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain..."-Exodus 20:7) It's not my righteousness that Christ sees, for mine is like a dirty rags. (Isaiah 64:6) It's only by Christ's righteousness that I am made right before God.

"For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the
righteousness of God in Him."-2 Corinthians 5:21-

Jesus Christ didn't stay dead either. Three days later He rose from the dead, defeating the grave, Hell, and death. That's why we celebrate Easter. We serve a risen and amazing God. I praise Him for this great and awesome day! We should celebrate it everyday of our lives. He saved me from the wrath to come and I am eternally grateful for Him! My Savior, my Love, and my Life, forever and ever. Oh, how I love my Savior!

Filled With The Spirit

"In order to be filled with God's Holy Spirit, you must be emptied of self. It's
said that we don't need more of the Holy Spirit, but He needs more of us. Get on your knees in a quiet place and invite the Spirit to reveal any hidden sins to
you. Confess all known sin and submit your entire being-your mind,emotions,and will- to God. Give Him complete control of your daily life. Seek His face, until
you are so filled with the Holy Spirit that your love for Jesus will overflow to
others as you go out into the world with the gospel of salvation."

-Taken from the "School of Biblical Evangelism" pg. 181-

I think this quote is pretty much self-explanatory! "More of Him, and less of me now and forever."

Until the nets are full,

Letter From An Athiest

This is an excerpt of an email to Ray Comfort from an atheist:

Ray,

You are really convinced that you've got all the answers. You've really got yourself tricked into believing that you're 100% right. Well, let me tell you just one thing. Do you consider yourself to be compassionate of other humans? If you're right, as you say you are, and believe that, then how can you sleep at night? When you speak with me you are speaking with someone who you believe is walking directly into eternal damnation into an endless onslaught of horrendous pain which your 'loving' god created, yet you stand by and do nothing.

If you believe one bit that thousands every day were falling into an eternal and unreachable fate, you should be running the streets mad with rage at their blindness. That's equivalent to standing on a street corner and watching every person that passes you walk blindly directly into the path of a bus and die, yet you stand idly by and do nothing. You're just twiddling your thumbs, happy in the knowledge that one day that 'walk' signal will shine your way across the road.

Think about it. Imagine the horrors Hell must have in store if the bible is true. You're just going to allow that to happen and not care about saving anyone but yourself? If you're right then you're an uncaring, unemotional and purely selfish (expletive) that has no right to talk about subjects such as love and caring.

James Franz

The entire discourse between Ray and this atheist is now in a fascinating book called, Intelligent Design versus Evolution—letters to an atheist. (taken from the Way of the Master website http://www.wayofthemaster.com/atheistletter.shtml )

I'm amazed at this letter. The atheist is actually right. Why aren't we in the streets telling people of the horrible fate they will come upon on judgement day? Can we just walk right on by while people are dying and going to Hell? Are we more interested in the world than lost sinners being damned to Hell? Why aren't we seeking and saving the lost the way Jesus did? Shouldn't we be on our knees crying out for their souls? Listen to this amazing quote by Charles Spurgeon:

"Save some, O Christians! By all means,
save some. From yonder flames and outer darkness, and the weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth, seek to save some! Let this, as in the case of the apostle,
be your great, ruling object in life, that by all means you might save some."

Wow! Seeking and saving the lost should be our #1 priority in life, that and glorifying God!

Abortion

I've found a really great website that's on abortion called Sanctuary Ministries. The lady that runs this website actually goes to abortion clinics and witnesses to people coming in and going out. It's a really great ministry! Go check it out!
