JESUS – tHe OnLy WaY??

 

 

 

Jesus is the One who said that He is the only way to the Father. For Christians to say that there are other ways to find peace with God is to bear false testimony. In one sweeping statement, Jesus discards all other religions as a means of finding forgiveness of sins. In John 14:6 He says, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but  by me.” This agrees with other Scriptures: “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12), and, “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:5).When you’re preaching the gospel, don’t let angry reactions from your listeners concern you. A dentist knows where to work on a patient when he touches a raw nerve. When you touch a raw nerve in the heart of the sinner, it means that you are in business. Anger is a thousand times better than apathy. Anger is a sign of conviction. If I have an argument with my wife and suddenly realize that I am in the wrong, I can come to her in a repentant attitude and apologize, or I can save face by lashing out in aRead Acts 19 and see how Paul was a dentist with an eye for decay. He probed raw nerves wherever he went. At one point, he had to be carried shoulder height by soldiers because of the “violence of the people” (Acts 21:36). Now that is a successful preacher! He didn’t seek the praise of men. John Wesley told his evangelist trainees that when they preached, people should either get angry or get converted. No doubt, he wasn’t speaking about the “Jesus loves you” gospel, but about sin, Law, righteousness, judgment, and hell.

Always follow the wisdom of Solomon: “A soft answer turns away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger” (Proverbs 15:1). This verse needs to be written on the hearts of all who preach the gospel, whether they share their faith with sinners one-on-one or preach open-air. If sinners become angry when you witness to them, speak softly. If you think you are about to be hit, ask the person his name to help diffuse the situation. Don’t be afraid to gently change the subject, and don’t wait to be a martyr. Jesus said to flee from a city that persecutes you (Matthew 10:23). Paul left one city in a basket (2 Corinthians 11:33).

The Bible warns us to avoid foolish questions because they start arguments (2 Timothy 2:23). Most of us have fallen into the trap of jumping at every objection to the gospel. However, these questions can often be arguments in disguise to sidetrack you from the “weightier matters of the Law.”

While apologetics (arguments for God’s existence, creation vs. evolution, etc.) are legitimate in evangelism, they should merely be “bait,” with the Law of God being the “hook” that brings the conviction of sin. Those who witness solely in the realm of apologetical argument may just get an intellectual decision rather than a repentant conversion. The sinner may come to a point of acknowledging that the Bible is the Word of God and Jesus is Lord—but even the devil knows that. Always pull the sinner back to his responsibility before God on Judgment Day, as Jesus did in Luke 13:1–5.

As you share the gospel, divorce yourself from the thought that you are merely seeking “decisions for Christ.” What we should be seeking is repentance within the heart. This is the purpose of the Law, to bring the knowledge of sin. How can sinners repent if they don’t know what sin is? If there is no repentance, there is no salvation. Jesus said, “Unless you repent, you shall all likewise perish” (Luke 13:3). God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).

Many don’t understand that the salvation of a soul is not a resolution to change a way of life, but “repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ” (Acts 20:21). Billy Graham said, “If you have not repented, you will not see the inside of the kingdom of God.” The modern concept of success in evangelism is to relate how many people were “saved” (that is, how many prayed the “sinner’s prayer”). This produces a “no decisions, no success” mentality. This shouldn’t be, because Christians who seek decisions in evangelism become discouraged after a time of witnessing if “no one came to the Lord.” The Bible tells us that as we sow the good seed of the gospel, one sows and another reaps. If you faithfully sow the seed, someone will reap. If you reap, it is because someone has sown in the past, but it is God who causes the seed to grow. If His hand is not on the person you are leading in a prayer of committal, if there is not God-given repentance, then you will end up with a stillbirth on your hands, and that is nothing to rejoice about. We should measure our success by how faithfully we sowed the seed. In that way, we will avoid becoming discouraged.

There is one passage in Scripture to which I point for all those who want to witness or preach in the open-air. It is 2 Timothy 2:24–26. Memorize it. Scripture tells us that sinners are blind; they cannot see. What would you think if I were to stomp up to a blind man who had just stumbled, and say, “Watch where you’re going, blind man!”? Such an attitude is completely unreasonable. The man cannot see.

The same applies to the lost—spiritual sight is beyond their ability. Look at the words used in Scripture: “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God…

The god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not…But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness to him: neither can he know them…Having the understanding darkened …because of the blindness of their heart…Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”

With these thoughts in mind, read 2 Timothy 2:24–26 again and look at the adjectives used by Paul to describe the attitude we are to have with sinners: “must not strive…be gentle…patient…in meekness.” Just as it is unreasonable to be impatient with a blind man, so it is with the sinner.

You HoPe you’ll go to heaven??

Of all the things that you should be sure of, it’s your eternal destiny. To say “I hope I’m going to heaven” is like standing at the open door of a plane 25,000 feet in the air and, when asked “If you have your parachute on, answering with “I HOPE SO.”
You want to know so—and you can, simply by obeying the gospel. If you repent and place your faith in Jesus Christ, He will give you eternal life and you can know that your eternity is secure. In 1 John 5:12,13, the Bible also makes clear that those who refuse to trust in the Son of God can likewise know that they do not have eternal life—they will remain dead in their sins.

In writing to the Corinthian believers, Paul explains the lengths to which he would go to share the gospel: “To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some” (1 Corinthians 9:22). If Paul meant “by all means,” he no doubt would have used gospel tracts as one means to reach the lost.

Never underestimate the power of a gospel tract.  After George Whitefield read one called “The Life of God in the Soul of a Man,” he said, “God showed me I must be born again or be damned.” He went on to pray, “Lord, if I am not a Christian, or if I am not a real one, for Jesus Christ’s sake show me what Christianity is, that I may not be damned at last!” Then his journal tells us “from that moment… did I know that I must become a new creature.”
A Christian book relates the true story of a diver who saw a piece of paper clutched in the shell of an oyster. The man grabbed it, found that it was a gospel tract and said, “I can’t hold out any longer. His mercy is so great that He has caused His Word to follow me even to the bottom of the ocean.” God used a tract to save the man. He also used a tract to save the great missionary Hudson Taylor, as well as innumerable others.

Why should Christians use tracts? Simply because God uses them. That fact alone should be enough incentive for a Christian to always use tracts to reach the lost, but there are even more reasons why we should use them.
Here are a few:

Tracts can provide an opening for us to share our faith. We can watch people’s reaction as we give them a tract, and see if they are open to listening to spiritual things.

They can do the witnessing for us. If we are too timid to speak to others about the things of God, we can at least give them a tract, or leave one lying around so that someone will pick it up.

They speak to the individuals when they are ready; people don’t read it until they want to. They can find their way into people’s homes when we can’t. They don’t get into arguments; they just state their case. Oswald J. Smith said, “The only way to carry out the Great Commission will be by the means of the printed page.” Charles Spurgeon stated, “When preaching and private talk are not available, you need to have a tract ready …Get good striking tracts, or none at all. But a touching gospel tract may be the seed of eternal life. Therefore, do not go out without your tracts.”

If you want people to accept your literature, try to greet them before offering them a tract. If you can get them to respond to a warm “Good morning,” or “How are you doing?” that will almost always break the ice and they will take it. After the greeting, don’t ask, “Would you like this?” They will probably respond, “What is it?” Instead, say, “Did you get one of these?” That question has a twofold effect. You stir their curiosity and make them ask, “One of what?” That’s when you hand them a tract. It also makes them feel as though they are missing out on something. So they are.

Perhaps you almost pass out at the thought of passing out a tract. Don’t worry; you are not alone. We all battle fear. The answer to fear is found in the prayer closet. Ask God to give you a compassion that will swallow your fears. Meditate on the fate of the ungodly. Give hell some deep thought. Confront what it is that makes you fearful.

Do you like roller coasters? Some Christians want to try skydiving or bungee-jumping. Isn’t it strange? We are prepared to risk our lives for the love of fear—and yet we are willing to let a sinner go to hell for fear of giving out a tract. Ask yourself how many piles of bloodied stones you can find where Christians have been stoned to death for preaching the gospel. How much singed soil can you find where they have been burned at the stake? Part of our fear is a fear of rejection. We are fearful of looking foolish. That’s a subtle form of pride. The other part of our battle with fear comes directly from the enemy. He knows that fear paralyzes. We must resist the devil and his lies. If God is with us, nothing can be against us.

If you have never given out tracts, why not begin today? If you are fearful when it comes to witnessing, here’s something you can do that doesn’t take much courage. Go into a phone booth. Open the phone book to the Yellow Pages; find “Abortion” and slip a tract between the pages. Then look for the category “Escorts” and slip a tract in there. Many phone booths have a door, so you can close the door behind you and do this without fear of being seen. You are not breaking the law, and simply leaving a gospel tract in those two places may not only keep someone from making a terrible life-changing decision, but it may bring them to faith in the Savior.

Then each night as you shut your eyes to go to sleep, you will have something very special to pray about—that God will use the tracts you put somewhere. You will also have a deep sense of satisfaction that you played a small part in carrying out the Great Commission to reach this dying world with the gospel of everlasting life. Don’t waste your life. Do something for the kingdom of God while you are able to. Always remember: treat every day as though it were your last—one day you will be right.

UmMmM….Just a LITTLE NOTE!!

Just because someone has more followers than you…GOT NEWS FOR YA – that doesn’t mean they’re better than you….When you preach the FEEL GOOD MESSAGES YOU’LL BE LOVED BY THE WORLD, BUT WHEN YOU PREACH THE TRUTH OF THE GOSPEL you will be HATED by THIS world – so remember this…

This Man preached HATE

 FOLLOWERS = millions

 

 

 

 

 

 

This …um man..um preaches LOVE

 FOLLOWERS = EVEN MORE

This MAN DIED FOR ALL:

 FOLLOWERS = 12

So, who’s cross are you gonna follow?  The Cross of this world, or the Love of Christ on the Cross of Calvary?

“I have ALWAYS been here – You kicked me out”

Amid national soul searching in the wake of one of the worst mass shootings in American history, faith leaders, say the removal of God from the nation’s schools and communities is at the root of this monstrous tragedy.

I BELIEVE THIS WITH ALL MY HEART!  People have asked – How could God allow this to happen in a school? – but, WE are the ones that KICKED GOD OUT!!  How can we be ashamed of HIM because we don’t want to talk about SIN – but, curse HIM when something tragic happens and then and only then WE WANT HIM CLOSE….  We look for every other excuse known to “man” for reasons why this happened – FOLKS, IT WASN’T A CHEMICAL IMBALANCE – IT WAS Adam’s sinful nature – PERIOD

To be very honest, my heart is sick of the media’s attempt to make excuses for Adam Lanza’s mass murder of school children at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.  In the face of all the “politically correct mumbo jumbo,”  the culprit is “not an imbalance of chemical enzymes in Lanza’s brain; the culprit is Lanza’s sin nature.”

For years, public schools have been teaching children that evil does not reside in their souls and is therefore, by default, circumstantial, and according to this misguided worldview, there must have been something circumstantially that caused Lanza to shoot innocent children.  So when we look at the tragedy that just took place and we start blaming …we search EVERY conceivable avenue according to “our” FINITE mind, we immediately go to guns and other purported causes, we say:

It’s his psychology, it’s his mother, it’s the divorce. It’s something outside, instead of looking at the real cause, which for thousands of years since the time of Christ, people have understood to be good and evil.”  If Lanza’s mass murder of innocents is given a pass, what about the thousands of Nazis who killed six million Jews? Did all of them have autism too? Or is the Holocaust not prima facie evidence of the very existence of evil?”

WE always looks for excuses “outside ourselves”, but we never want to face the demons in our own souls.  WHY??  well that’s a whole nother blog.. we’ll leave that one alone minus this one comment “WE ARE BEING FED THE WRONG MESSAGE ….WE KNOW GOD LOVES US… WE NEED TO BE REMINDED THAT HE IS A JUST AND HOLY GOD AND WILL PUNISH LIARS, FORNICATORS, THIEVES, THE SEXUALLY IMMORAL (HOMOSEXUALS are included) COVETERS (one’s that desire other’s belongings because they are NOT satisfied with what God has given them) BLASPHEMERS (including ones that lift HIS HOLY name up to nothingness – ex. – OMG in a text message) and any other broken commandment.

A number of faith leaders in the past week have weighed in on the spiritual dimensions of what may have motivated Lanza, 20, to kill his mother, 20 children and six adults at the school before killing himself.

As police seek a motive, the London Daily Mail reported Dec. 19 that a former classmate claimed Lanza “ worshiped the devil and had an online page dedicated to Satan.”…..UH>>> HELLO>>> why does this NOT speak volumes in answering ANY QUESTIONS OF WHY??

The demons of violence and lawlessness are on the loose all across America – in Newton, Conn., …in Aurora, Colo., … in Oak Creek, Wis., … just as they were in Littleton, Colo., and at Virginia Tech in years gone by.   But why? How is it possible that violent crime in the United States has surged by more than 400 percent since 1960?

The answer is as painful as it is simple:

The further we turn away from God in our nation – the further we drive Him out of our society, out of our schools and courts, and out of our media and out of our homes, or the more we give mere lip service to religion, the more men are ‘holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power’ (2 Timothy 3:5) – the worse things are getting.

Should we be so surprised that schools would become a place of carnage?  We don’t have a crime problem, a gun problem or even a violence problem. What we have is a sin problem. And since we’ve ordered God out of our schools, and communities, the military and public conversations, you know we really shouldn’t act so surprised … when all hell breaks loose.” - HELL, WE’VE INVITED IT IN … SAYING COME ON!!

Here’s the facts, schools no longer teach the Ten Commandments, and the U.S. Supreme Court ruled school prayer was unconstitutional in 1962. As long as the nation continues to “marginalize God” in its public life, the country can expect more and more of these types of tragedies.

The solution is not to create more laws restricting guns, If you restrict guns, people will use knives. If you restrict knives, people will use explosives. Those are only tools that people use, and those are not the problem. It’s the root cause we need to get to, and that’s the brokenness of humanity. The only way evil can be restrained is by God and the teaching of GOSPEL TRUTH!!

I do believe that right now what America desperately needs is what we used to call an old-fashioned revival.  There will have to be a reawakening to biblical norms and biblical values. When President Obama prayed last week on behalf of the victims in Newton, Conn., and invoked God’s name, he appealed to God, but this is the same person whose party tried to eliminate God from its political platform!!  YOU CAN’T HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT TOO!!

We have now a God of convenience. When we want God to bless us or want to acknowledge God in some way to encourage people, we’ll invoke his name until the cows come home…BUT God is not a puppet. He’s to be feared and adhered to and his laws, which are irrefutable, must be obeyed, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!

Are you Running from God?

I TOLD YOU FOLKS THAT I WAS COMING BACK FROM THIS COLD WITH MORE INTENSITY, MORE FIRE THAN EVER, A GREATER DESIRE TO SERVE THE KING OF ALL KINGS  ….SO  - Hey YOU!! yeah you, why are you running from God….. Why do you insist that your way is better, you know more, and it’s your way or the highway!  Really, I want you to understand that NO amount of distance, NO amount of speed can take you out of the sight of God.  I got a question for you …. Do you question the motives of why He hung on that cross??  Are you willing to take those nails for Him??  seeing that you think you know better…. COME ON STEP UP since you wanna CALL UP and ask WHY!

Can you REALLY with a clear conscience look at the picture above and be content with what you are doing?  How can you question and run away when things get to hard from the ONE that loved you so much that He died a unimaginable torturous death for you??

I mean seriously, You get a notice that you gonna be fired – SO WHAT…. You get a notice that you’re being evicted – SO WHAT…. You go to jail or prison – PRAISE GOD (He could have required you to face judgment right then, instead He put you in a place where you could finally turn and trust HIM)  When you think all is lost and it can’t get any better and all you know to do is run …PLEASE STOP … TURN AROUND AND LOOK JUST FOR A MOMENT…. YOU KNOW WHAT YOU’LL SEE??…

You’ll see Jesus standing with open arms and tears of joy on His face saying …”WELCOME HOME MY SON/DAUGHTER”.  When Lazarus was dead in the tomb and Mary said to Jesus – Father, He is dead 4 days now, and she tried to stop Him from entering – Just think, what happens to a body lying in a cave after 4 days… it begins to rot and STINK the stench is UNBEARABLE RIGHT?… JESUS DOESN’T CARE ….  NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU STINK …HE KEEPS COMING …WHEN THE WORLD SAYS YOU STINK AND AVOIDS YOU … JESUS STEPS IN AND KEEPS COMING ….

As I write this I weep for those that have run for so many years…. as tears stream down my face… Please know ..you don’t have to run anymore…Let Him comfort you, stretch you, mold you, deliver you, SAVE YOU!!! RIGHT NOW….Jesus said in His Word ” Come to me all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matt. 11:28) Stop running because I PROMISE, YOU WILL tire before God does.

Next week we are going to begin “Theme Week”.  Basically, each week we will focus on a specific subject and the week will be tailored around it.  See ya soon!

7 miles!!

 

 

Check this out…… that very day 2 of them were going to a village named Emmaus – about 7 miles from Jerusalem, 7 MILES….7 MILES…7 Miles away, how ever many minutes by car, how ever many minutes it’d take you to run that…an hour, 2 hours, 4 days…..7 miles from Jerusalem and they were talking to each other about all these things and what had happened….. while they were talking and discussing together, JESUS Himself drew near…and listen to this……WENT WITH THEM —-WHERE???? TO EMMAUS….HOW FAR AWAY IS THAT?? 7 MILES.

Lemme tell you why I’m pointing this out – Historically, not biblically, Historically this causes a lot of trouble for the secular mind….so there’s all these theories about how to deal with it….. one of the theories is – that when they arrested Him, beat Him a dozen times, yanked the beard out of his face…..drove nails through His hands and feet. After they ripped the skin off His back and left Him hanging there for 6 HOURS…then took a spear and DROVE IT under His rib cage through His lungs and back out, spilling blood and water all over the cross, that maybe they didn’t kill Him, that they put Him into the ground and 2 DAYS LATER, HE’S WALKING 7 MILES TO EMMAUS WITH 2 GUYS.

RIDICULOUS…..THE WORLD SAYS…. THEY SAY YOU’D HAVE TO BE AN IDIOT TO BELIEVE THAT THEORY….I mean come on ….Have you ever broken a toe and tried to walk without looking like your hips exploded inside your PELVIS????

The theory….the historical, Discovery Channel theory is that after this unbelievable beating, JESUS is 2 days later walking to Emmaus for 7 miles

NOW THAT’S SILLY….. The world says… All the goofiness that is Christianity, that’s right up there with the dumbest things those Christians believe, that after having your full body weight bared down on a nail driven through the center of both your feet that 48 hours later your walking a 7 MILE JAUNT TO EMMAUS…..

THANK YOU JESUS THAT THIS GOOFY CHRISTIAN IS NO LONGER

CONFORMED TO WHAT THIS WORLD BELIEVES, THANK YOU JESUS THAT

I AM NO LONGER A FAN BUT A FOLLOWER!!

WHO ELSE IS WITH ME?

ARE YOU?

Some personal questions: On a Sunday morning

Do you like to snuggle up in a warm bed on a cold night?  Do you have a favorite position for going to sleep?  Have you ever woken up from a nightmare, and taken several minutes to shake off a feeling of terror?

Has you whole body suddenly “jumped” because you thought you were taking a step, just before you dropped off to sleep?  Do you get annoyed when someone asks you personal questions, or do you feel a sense of identification, because you’ve had these same experiences?

I hope you do identify with me.  This is because it is the knowledge that you and I are similar that drives to try to reach you with the gospel.

We have many of the same loves, fears, desires, and concerns.  You, like me, want to enjoy the pleasures of this life.  No one in his right mind wants to be unhappy, and you therefore instinctively don’t want to die.  Everything within you recoils at the thought of death.  It is the ultimate root-canal for which there is no painkiller outside of conversion to Jesus Christ.

So, if you don’t know the Lord, ask yourself some personal questions about me.  What is my motive for pleading with you like this?  I don’t get paid for doing this.  I am not asking for your money, nor am I trying to get you to join a church.  It is simply out of a deep concern for your eternal welfare.  Please, repent and trust the Savior before death seizes on you and it’s too late.

A tragic reminder of the condition of this world:

You guys/girls are not gonna believe this, I ask that you pray for this group that I’m about to mention … please ask that the message that they are being taught be removed and pray that God does a work on their hearts.

- This morning I had a dreadful conversation with a man that has been truly bound by the devil to do his will.  Here’s what happened:

The group is called “A TRUE CHURCH”, they are located in Moody, OK.  First off let’s start with some of the things these people are being taught -

We believe whatever the Holy Bible says (all 66 books, Genesis to Revelation). For how we do this, please see Our Hermeneutics and Judging. Scripture is our first and last and everything in between authority. The Word of God is our life and our salvation (Matthew 4:4; John 1:1; 14:6; James 1:21). By it He has given us eternal life, and our hope is in His Word (Psalm 119:49-50).    Okay, so you say – Matt what’s the problem – unfortunately, here is what is in their doctrine:

These are some of their beliefs: ******* (there were many links to articles this leader wrote on these subjects, however, I have omitted any teachings from this doctrine )**********

We believe those who commit suicide go to hell (John 15:1-6).

We believe gambling is not wrong, but to gamble because you want more is (Hebrews 13:5).

We believe masturbation can be done in godliness (Titus 1:15).

We believe the Bible does not condemn slavery (1 Timothy 6:1-5), even though it is illegal in the USA (Romans 13:1).

We believe smoking is not condemned in Scripture, but addiction is (1 Corinthians 6:12; Galatians 5:22-23).

We believe most debt is ungodly (Romans 13:8).

We believe the Bible does not condemn polygamy (Genesis 16:1-3), even though it is illegal in the USA (Romans 13:1).

We believe there are fire breathing dragons called Leviathan (Job 41).

We believe during the 1000 year reign of Christ on earth (Revelation 20), God will bring back from the dead evil Levites of the past to serve in His temple (Ezekiel 44:10-14).

We believe sexual intercourse during menstruation is an evil practice (Leviticus 18:19-30).

We believe the answer to “eternal security” is both “yes” and “no” (Romans 8:31-39; 11:19-22).

That’s not the worst of it Here’s more -

We believe God is Spirit (John 4:24) and this One Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:4) is God (2 Corinthians 3:17) and is literally Seven Spirits. For more on that, please see (Revelation 1:4).

We believe the city of Jerusalem is God (Psalm 48:12-14).

We believe the Horses of Zechariah 1 Are God (Zechariah 1:8-17).

We believe Jesus Is Love (1 John 4:8, 16) and hates everyone (Psalm 5:5-6; 11:5).

We believe Jesus Deceives People (Ezekiel 14:9 KJV).

We believe Jesus Causes People To Sin (2 Samuel 12:11-12).

PLEASE PRAY FOR THIS CULT – THESE INDIVIDUALS HAVE BEEN BLINDED BY A SELF RIGHTEOUS PRIDEFUL DECEIVER – THE devil HAS BOUND THIS GROUP AND IS USING THEM TO DO HIS WILL …..

BUT JESUS IS STRONGER THAT THAT  — JESUS IS THE KING OF KINGS —– JESUS IS STRONGER THAN ANY SITUATION IN OUR LIVES —- THE devil IS ALREADY A DEFEATED ENEMY

 

Opinions Anyone?

Folks, this post is not my norm… I try to do what’s right in everything I do..UUUGGH   this has me so upset that I have a migraine…UGGHH so I have to get this off my heart and I would like you to help with some advise.

Yesterday, the Holy Spirit came upon me like nothing before.  I mean I was ablaze with reaching the lost even more so than I usually am.  Weird Huh?  Most of you know me by now and you know that I can get a little fired up… so I ‘d like to share something that happened.

I went onto a website – SermonIndex.com, I registered so I could be a part of discussions (Went fishing in that pond) and looked at the policies of their website… nothing unusual, until I got to a part that said “you cannot promote your own writings”.  So I gathered that meant I couldn’t provoke anyone to leave that sight and go to mine.  What I didn’t realize was … you can’t give the impression that you want people to believe what you write.  At least that’s the impression the owner Greg Gordon and moderator Robert Wurtz II gave.  I posted some Gospel truth about Blasphemy as well as the Powerful church teaching, within an hour had almost 500 hits on the posts.  You would think praise God right?…. I got an email from Greg stating that if I posted “my own writings” again I would be asked to leave the site.  I was like REALLY???  I think what bugged me the most was the fact he couldn’t even post what he said in the discussion he had to email me privately, which I can’t understand.  So I asked “explain what promoting my own writings means” and I asked Robert, How many times has he shared his faith with a complete stranger in the last month and I got a response that just blew me away….. Robert Wurtz II didn’t even acknowledge the sharing of faith question even though his profile says OUTREACH LEADER and he stated that I had an obvious agenda and that I needed to speak with love and not judge others… “you are a guest on this website”  he said, even though the website says… “register to receive full access as a MEMBER”.  Before I got a chance to respond, I was booted off the website and my profile deleted.  I praise God for the persecution but can someone explain what “promoting your own writings” means…. after all isn’t that what we all do when we comment or post on a discussion or blog…. i’m sure none of us goes in with the intent to say “these are just idle words… don’t believe a word I say”.. that would be foolish.
