IF A REALLY DRUNK MAN CAME TO YOUR CHURCH SUNDAY, WHAT WOULD BE THE REACTION OF THE CONGREGATION? THERE WOULD PROBABLY BE TWO DIFFERENT REACTIONS. ONE IS THAT SOME OF THE PEOPLE WOULD BE APPALLED THAT A DRUNK WOULD DARE SHOW UP IN THEIR CHURCH. THE OTHER IS THAT SOME OF THE PEOPLE WOULD WELCOME HIM AND MAKE HIM FEEL LOVED. WHAT WOULD YOUR REACTION BE?
WHAT IF THE MAN GOT BORN AGAIN THAT SUNDAY AND THE NEXT SUNDAY HE SHOWED UP DRUNK AGAIN? NOW WHAT WOULD THE REACTIONS BE? THE FIRST GROUP WOULD PROBABLY SAY "I TOLD YOU THAT HE WAS NOT REALLY SAVED". HOW COULD THEY KNOW SINCE ONLY GOD KNOWS THE HEART?

HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING IF YOU ARE STILL ALIVE WHEN JESUS RETURNS?

I SAY THIS BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS THAT ALL OF OUR SINS HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN AND WE ARE JUST LIKE JESUS IS RIGHT NOW IN THIS WORLD. (1ST JOHN 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.) NOW, ALTHOUGH OUR SINS HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN AND OUR SPIRITS ARE SEALED, AS FOR ME,...
IN PRAYING THIS MORNING FOR OUR KIDS IN THE SERVICE, THE VERSE MATTHEW 18:19 CAME TO MIND WHERE JESUS SAYS "Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven." I HAVE MENTIONED THIS BEFORE IN TALKING ABOUT GETTING A PRAYER PARTNER TO PRAY WITH EVERY DAY. IT CAN BE YOUR SPOUSE, A RELATIVE OR A FRIEND. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE TOGETHER TO DO THIS. IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE YOU CAN CALL ON THE...
