Details Of Life

Passing Time

Mankind became increasingly preoccupied with the details

of life -- material possessions, friends, loved ones, pleasures and 

success; consequently, they turned a deaf ear to the Gospel. When

people reject the grace of God in salvation, and when believers 

neglect Bible doctrine, decadence and apostasy invariably take over.

This was the case at the time of the construction of the Tower of

Babel: the need for evangelism was forgotten, and man substituted

his own plans for those of God. (Gen.11:1-9).

Spring is coming!

Be joyful in Hope patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

Ron.12:12

We Have Two Camps

Divided

It was not long before response and reaction to the Gospel divided the human race

in to two camps---believers and unbelievers. For example, Abel responded to the 

offer of salvation and believed in the Son of God; Cain reacted against the offer

and became the first to reject eternal life. (Gen.4:8), (Gen. 4:25,26).

God is the only one who can make the valley of trouble a door of hope.

Good News

Agencies Of Witnessing

The first declaration of the Gospel occurred in the Garden

of Eden after the Fall, with the Lord Himself as the

Evangelist and the first man and his wife as the recipients of

the good news of salvation (Gen. 3:15-21). After the regeneration

of Adam and Eve, the Gospel became their sacred trust, and witnessing

operated on what I call the "family plan." According to this system, the

first parents set the precedent for all future parents in that they evangelized

their own children.

By R.B. Thieme,Jr.

"Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he 

is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which He hath

promised to them that love Him.

James 1:12

 Dear God, this is a new day and I may face unexpected
temptations. Please help me to keep free from evil.
In Christ name I pray

Distorted

Personal Witnessing

Is frequently distorted into a merit system or is set aside entirely

in favor of mass evangelism. As a result, there prevails today a 

non biblical pattern: an evangelist is invited to some church to 

conduct a "revival," and members of  that church bring their friends

to hear him. If a few people are saved in this "revival," believers often

think that their personal  obligation to witness has been fulfilled.

"The Lord will bless His people with peace."

Psalm 29:11

Lord, help me to follow Your will with eagerness, knowing that to 

do so is the surest path to peace.

Citizens

As Children

of God by faith in Christ Jesus , we were born again into a

 high and noble position; we are not only citizens of this country,

 but also "fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of

God" (Eph. 2:19).

"And He said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest."

Exodus 33:14

Dear God, we know You do still speak to us. Help us to be still and know

what You are trying to tell us.

In Christ name I pray

We Are Commissioned

The Gospel

The Lord commissioned born-again believers to carry the Gospel

to the ends of the earth. The Apostle Paul reminded the Corinthians

that they were to be ambassadors for Christ (2 Cor. 5:20).

Ambassadorship exists in the spiritual as well as in the temporal

realm. Like earthly ambassadors, we did not appoint ourselves but

were appointed by our Savior to represent Him on earth as the King

of Kings and Lords of Lords while He is at the right hand of the Father.

"The meek will He guide in judgment: and the meek will He teach His ways."

Psalm 25:9

Dear Heavenly Father, when I have failed through my own lack of wisdom,

help me to rely on Your unfaltering love and power.

In Christ name I pray

Witnessing

Responsibility of Witnessing

But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost (Spirit) is come

upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in

all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth (Acts 1:8).

Who is responsible for the declaration of the Gospel--- the good news of 

salvation-- to the unbelieving world? Is the duty and privilege of witnessing

reserved solely for ministers, missionaries and evangelists?  Far from it!

Personal evangelism is the responsibility of  EVERY believer in the 

Lord Jesus Christ! 

"God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye...

may abound to every good work."

2 Corinthians 9:8

I place this day in Your care, O God, thanking You for the 

blessed assurance that Jesus is mine.

In Christ name I pray
