I came close to getting punched out at Walmart last Sunday. Why? Because I gave the Gospel to a cashier while purchasing my items in line. It wasn’t the clerk who threatened me, nor the customer behind. I wasn’t holding up the line, just simply having a friendly spiritual conversation as I was loading my sixty-plus items on the conveyor.
“O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD” (Jer. 22:29). These words, spoken so long ago, reflect what God wants more than anything. His desire is for His creation to hear His spoken word which is “quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart” (Heb.

Once upon a time a Master of Wisdom and his young apprentice were traveling through the countryside when they came upon a poor farmer’s cottage. The master instructed his apprentice to go to the door and ask for food. “But we have plenty,” protested the apprentice. “Just do as I say,” ordered the master. The apprentice dutifully did as he was instructed and knocked on the door.
So far, my attempt to introduce my Saviour, Jesus Christ, has allowed me to share Scriptures relating to His birth and how that great event was prophesied and fulfilled; His genealogy and why it was important that He was born of a virgin; and that God declared Jesus Christ as the great High Priest in the order of Melchizedek. He was born without sin (Luke 1:35) "And the angel answered her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the chi ...
The message proclaimed clearly in the book of Romans is that "all are under sin"; "there is none righteous, no not one" (Rom. 3:9-10). Our sins have separated us from God and due to the curse placed on Adam, mankind suffers the consequence of death, "And so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned"
I cannot prove the existence of God. There. I said it. But let me be clear: I can point to evidence that suggests a Creator.

Old Glory: Long May She Wave—Correctly
My wife was driving one morning when we passed through Silver City, New Mexico. I noticed that the flag in front of an elementary school was flying upside down. I asked my wife to turn around so that we could find out what was happening at that school. I entered the school office and was greeted pleasantly by a receptionist who asked if she could help me.
"Are you Jasper McClellan's son?" "Si, Senor," I would reply. "Please honor us by having supper with us tonight!" So it went in town after Mexican town. It seemed that my father was known in nearly every village, town and city in Mexico as he purchased more than 300 properties and supervised the construction of 30 churches and as many schools.
"1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God:because many false prophets are gone out into the world. " 1 Jn. 4:1 This is how to test the spirits: "2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God:Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God:and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it ...
