Changing the world one soul at a time. Matthew28:16-20
When I entered the ministry, I had great ambitions. I was going to change to world. How? I would be the next Billy Sunday or D L Moody. I would travel internationally and preach to thousands. He would have to give a mere word of invention and hundreds would flood the alter.
Revivals would start each time I preached. Yet it didn’t happen. What did happen however was terrible. The first time I preached one of the seven people got up and walked out. Come to think of it if I had been able too I would have walked out. My sermon was that bad.
Slowly through the years, God taught me some basic truths. If you want to change the world, you start by changing the individual. And the only way is introduce them to The Lord Jesus Christ.
God has given me the opportunities to speak to large gatherings. However the greatest victories been speaking to individuals. Taking God’s Word and sharing the gospel on a one to one basis.
D.L.Moody said if he had to win a million souls to assure his salvation he would do it one soul at a time. He made a commitment to speak to someone about their soul each day. Not for salvation but because of his love for the lost.
Has God given you a small work? Yet it is not small. The greatest labor we can do for The Lord is win a soul for Him. If you are a soul winner you are changing the world. One person at a time.

Distrust of God Proverbs 3:1-12

As a young man of 19 I asked Christ to come into my heart. It wasn’t easy for me to trust God. One night a friend spoke to me about The Lord. I thought I didn’t need Him ...

...quences for wrong doing. If there isn’t punishment children have a hard time believing God will chastise them for sin. Therefore anything goes. Life becomes meaningless and of no value. Suicide seems to be the only solution.
Our children are therefore headed for heartache. Living together is the norm. There is nothing wrong with marriage between two men or two women.
Because they have never learned moral values they must suffer the consequences. Their relationship are destroyed their live a disaster. If they marry it is distend to fail. With nothing to guide them their paths lead to hopelessness and hell.
If we want to turn this county around we must give our child God’s principles to live by. Parents and other in authority must lead by example. Children do what we do not what we say.

  • Integrity In Billy Graham's Modesto Manifest

    154 Words  | 1 Pages

    In my own life I have been impacted by Billy Graham; several years ago I began to see how important integrity is – at that time I committed never to ride alone in a car with a girl. Although I was unaware of the “Modesto Manifesto” at the time, I knew that Graham refused to be alone with any woman other than his wife, and his vow helped to influence mine. Graham’s dedication to having all the world hearing the Gospel likewise influenced me to take the Gospel to the city of Rochester. Now, learning more about Graham and how he did ministry, I see where I could change in multiple ways: being more tolerant of all denominations,

    Philosophy of Ministry: God's desires come first, I must always live my ministry God's way. I must live as a Christian (1 Corinthians 9:27) I must have a proper relationship of surrender to the Leader. In my personal life or in the Church I must understand that Christ is Head and Chief Shepherd (Ephesians 1:22, Hebrews 13:20). The “management” of Church is about relationships with God and Man, not just maintaining a social organization.

    Revealing how the world was discovered stirred up controversy between the Indians and Christopher Columbus as well as the “right of discovery.” Christopher Columbus feels that he discovered the “New World” because he is the one who brought attention to it and declared it Spain’s. However, the Indians believe that they discovered it because they were the ones who were living there before it was even known. How can something be discovered when it has already been found? In the book, Five Hundred Years, it states that, “English speakers, meant to uncover: to reveal something that already exist.”(1) The “Right of Discovery” belongs to the Indians because they were not only there first to live there, but found that land, however, Columbus set a pathway to manifest destiny by taking a land already occupied for his own. He took over a land and gave it national attention across the world. If it is continued to be believed that discovers are the ones who have the right to do what they want with the land, expansion might not have been an option. The revealing that Columbus did opened doors for others to expand and to utilize all resources to make America better.

    In To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Atticus Finch says, "Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit em', but remember it's a sin To Kill a Mockingbird." This quote demonstrates Atticus's firm belioef in the Golden Rule. The Golden Rule is to treat others how you want to be treated. Atticus follows the Golden Rule throughout the novel, including while defending Tom Robinson, a local African American accused of raping Mayella Ewell. Due to Atticus's firm belief in the Golden Rule and the fact he must live with himself before others and tries to teach his children the right thing to do, it makes sense for him to defend Tom Robinson.

    Race has had a major impact on our society in every single aspect of our lives. Racism is taken to an even larger scale in a sports setting. Emotions are high and people say things about other people without thinking. This is not something that has just started to occur; these things have been happening for many, many years. Sport brings out a whole different type of person whether it is the player or even a fan. Whichever it may be, both have a significant impact on how racism is involved in sport. Racism 70 years ago was a very difficult time for the African American culture. Back then “the only difference between the black man shining shoes in the ghetto and the black sprinter is that the shoeshine man is a nigger and the sprinter is a fast nigger.”(counterpunch.com) The sports world is more diverse than it was back then, but has it truly changed?

    I have always had the knowledge of Christ, but up until this last year, I realized I did not truly believe in him. I questioned the things in my life and why I always ended up with the same misery over and over. I had grown up in an abusive life from my early years. I can honestly say I had brief periods of peace when I was allowed to go with my grandparents, but they were short lived. I was taken to a variety of counselors from a very young age and put on prescription medicines starting at 16. Everyone around me could not figure out what was wrong with me and why nothing would “fix” me. Sin was a normal for me, and I carried on that lifestyle into adulthood. I had no concept of trust and what love really was.

  • Andrea Case Study: Should We Spank Our Children?

    1 John 1:8 says, “If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Children were born with a sin nature and therefore have a desire to do wrong. It is the job of the parents to discipline the child for the parent’s own benefit as well as their children. An undisciplined child grows into an undisciplined adult. Proverbs 13:24 says, “He who spares his rod hates is son, but he who loves him disciplines him properly.” Proverbs 23:13-14 says, “Do not withhold correction from a child, for if you beat him with a rod, he will not die. You shall beat him with a rod, and deliver his soul from hell.”

  • Reflection Paper On Evangelism

    1490 Words  | 3 Pages

    Evangelism is one of the key component for changing people’s lives. McRaney states, “The word evangelism comes from a combination of Greek words for “good” and “messenger.” Evangelism involves bringing the goods. Kent Hunter reminded us that “when Christians witness, they tell how Jesus Christ has changed their own lives. The change in their own lives gives them the desires to share the Good News with others.” Christians must share their testimony to people and spread the gospel so that they can bring lost souls to Christ. God has commissioned every Christian to evangelize so that people will learn about Jesus Christ and accept Him as their personal savior. Matthew 28:19 states, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”. Christians are required to spread the Gospel throughout the world and can no longer just attend church. Christians must plant seeds and water the seeds so that lost souls will be saved.
