Cambridge, England and the Gospel

Today, Saturday, I went out to pass out tracts with a local church. The local church has a member that OAs so I am more there to make a crowd. One of these days, I will branch out and talk to some of the people instead of offering tracts. Anyways, it was a rough start to the day. I woke up and wanted to get back to bed but knowing that God has something good happening Cambridge, I got up and went. This has been 1st time in 2 weeks that I was able to go to Cambridge to pass tracts. SO I went in force with my 1 million pound notes and round tuits. I gave a lot of million pounds notes. I had one lady tell me to go back to America. I guess the days of Spurgeon and Wesley are gone in England. I guess there are still that OA near the Cambridge University. I did learn, so when I do jump on a box, to use a heckler to attract a crowd. I saw people’s faces change as the gospel was told. But God was faithful and we meet Joel. Joel is in the British Army and was in Afghanistan when a USAF Fighter dropped a bomb on a group of British Army personnel. The fighter was from a USAF base that is in the UK. He was asked what would he have done if he knew that the bomb was going to land there? He said that he would save himself. We used to show the need of Christ. We know that we are to be judged by Christ. So why not seek his protection from God’s judgment? So even if it was cold outside and a heckler tried to make the person OA look dumb, God was faithful provide us with Joel. Please pray for Joel that he will repent and trust in Christ.

"For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many."

In 4 days, it would have been 1 year since I wrote a post about titled "Realization that I am not the person I claim to be." It was a post about being a Christian. I did not think I was one. Well here is another post but it is not in desperation. It is not because I feel sorry about myself. The title is from Matthew 7:13b. I was listening to sermon by Paul Washer. If you think that your Christian life is going well, listen to Dr. Washer and you will be humbled. In a recent sermon called "The Cost of Discipleship," he talked about Matthew 7:13-27.

So I have a questions for everyone. Does non-believers like you because they do not fear you? Do you see the devil, your flesh, or the world constantly against you? Do you look like the world in how you dress, act, and maybe talk?

Here is a verse for you from Matthew 7:21-23. "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?' And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.' "

What am I trying to say? Are you sure that your election is certain? Paul Washer explains that the narrow gate and wide gates are for Christians alone and not Christians and the World. So there are people that call themselves a Christian but still will be punish to hell. If your Christian walk have been easy, are you sure that you are a Christian? Does the world hate you because you show glimpse of God in your life. Do they see that you allow are out to worship God alone?

The Christian life should be hard to do. What do you think Jesus meant when he said in Matthew 7:14 "For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few."?

Now this also applies to me. This is not punching your self-esteem to make me fell better but also to humble myself.

You can listen to the sermon at Sermon Audio (links to this sermon).

Glorious and Mighty

Here is a song from a must have CD. The Song is Glorious and Mighty from the CD called Psalms by Sovereign Grace Music. You can buy load at Sovereign Grace Music Store. You can also buy it from ITunes which is also located at the Sovereign Grace Music Store. This song is a glorious and mighty song to the God of the Bible. Why can not some of the big names in Christian Music write songs like this. I have found that all the CDs I have from Sovereign Grace Ministry are great. They also have great preaching from CJ Mahaney. NOw to the lyrics.

Verse 1
Majesty, Your glory is shining
Brighter than the moon and the stars
Marveling, we honor and fear You
Above all gods

Chorus
Chorus Glorious and mighty, You’re awesome In beauty

Verse 2

Your decrees can never be changed
Over all the plans of the nations
Your judgments reign

Verse 3
Majesty, we’ll sing with creation
When You come again in the clouds
Every knee will bow down and worship

A blog that will Cause people to hate me ...

... will not be written because of wrong motives. It was going to be about God's wrath against the USA that is already being poured out because of the abortions, adultery (pornography included), homosexuality, etc. But my motives were wrong and I should present a more gospel orientated message of the complete depravity of men. The fact that no one is good, that is right no one is good (Romans 3:11, Isaiah 64:6). The fact is that every human will and be judged according the Law of God. Since everyone is deprave, everyone deserves to go to hell. So if your were to die to today, you should deserve hell. God must not have sinners enter heaven because he is sinless. That is why sinners go to hell but God has a merciful side. 2000 years ago God watched his very own Son named Jesus die on a cross. According to Isaiah 53, God's wrath was poured out on Jesus. "God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8) It would be something like this:

Imagine that you were charged for murdering a close family member. You were found rightly guilty and now the judge has to punish for your crimes. The judge sets a punishment of $10 millions or life in prison. You do not have anything close to $10 million even with help of friends (if you had anymore) and family members. So you would have to take the life in prison. Just as the judge is about to sentence you to life in prison, a man walks in with a briefcase and hands it to the judge. The judge opens it and sees a check for $10 million. Since this man paid your fine and justice was served, the judge lets you be free.

In that story replace the judge with God the judge of the universe. Replace the man with Jesus who was fully God and fully man. Your little lie to God is like murder but Jesus paid the price for your salvation. What you must do is Repent and Trust in Jesus for your salvation. Some religions tell you that you can work towards heaven. They are wrong because you can not bribe God with your good works. God says that your good works are like polluted garments. So do not trust in your works to save you but instead transfer that trust in to Jesus for your salvation. Repentance is turning 180 degrees around. Repentance must be first before God forgives your sins.

I say this because to fix America, we need God back into our government. We need absolute morality that comes from the Bible.

One last statement, homosexuality has been the end of most empires and countries. Just something to think about.

Happy Thanksgiving.

To day is the day that we celebrate being thankful. It basicly gets secular humanist to be thankful what God has given with out mentioning him and for Christians it is another excuse to get together and eat lots of food.

So what i am thankful for:

1. God
2. God's control of the situation even when I think I have control
3. God's ultimate gift to the world Forgiveness of sins when you repent and trust.
4. God's salvation from his wrath because of repentance and trust in Jesus.
5. That God has not demanded my life yet.
6. Trinity
   
7. my Family
8. Friends here in England and around the world.
   
9. The stead job (even when I actually do want to quit)
10. a car that works

This is just a short and pretty generic list for me. It is also not in any order. So what are you thankful for?

This post should be brown.

My first time tracting.

Being in the military and as my job requires so much time, I have not been able to tract with a group of Christian. So this weekend, I made it a point to go down to Mildenhall, Suffolk, England Bus Stop. I pulled into a the car park and started to walk towards the bus stop. It was cloudy and rainy, all to topical English weather. Now the thoughts were hitting my head. I bet they canceled you should head home. No one will be here just go. I still walked towards the bus stop. After a quick call from BT about by broadband, I was a guy passing out tracts and he started to head towards me. I was nervous but I asked the guy if he was George. George is the one who is set it up. If fact it was him and then I introduced myself. So now I was excited and scared but the excitement would ware off. I meet tons of people from surrounding churches. George then help me to give tracts away. I bought some tracts to hand out but I either would forget them at home or to hand them out. So I started to pass out my Million Pound Note. I think the Million Pound Note is better to use in England because it is the English currency. The first I tried to give a tract to was the preacher that was out there. He gave some trouble but was in all good fun. Then I was rejected my first couple of time. It was really exciting to actually hand out the first tract. I would handout more as the day progressed on. We than set up a mock crowd so George got open air. We actually had the Britsh bobbies show up. I guess people said George was boucing off the walls and screaming. But they informed us that we could OA but people are not used that. Much has changed since Spurgeon and Wesley where here. After we were down, the sun popped its beams out from behind a couple. That gave me the warm feeling that I was doing what God wanted me to do. So if God wills it, I will go with the group and head to Cambridge to hand out tracts there next Saturday. I do have to say it was
