Courage is a Decision

I have heard so many ask God for a burden for souls hoping that this burden would make them into soulwinners. Chicken... God called you and that should be enough. Courage is a decision not a possesion. You may think that some just have courage; but they really decided to carry on in spite of fear and that is courage.

Kind People

I have heard so many people say that they will never leave God or church again. This statement trusts in our own power which is very small. Most of these ones are not living for God any more. It is so much wiser to ask God to teach me the things that will keep me walking with Him for the rest of my life. I know many people that are doing this and in spite of lots of difficulties they are still going on for God. Learning is better than promising.

Nice old People

When I was a teenager my dad suggested that I start working toward becoming the kind of person that I wanted to be when I was old. Well I am old now and am glad that he gave that advice. I also heard it said this way “decide what you want written on your gravestone and live that way.”

Winning Souls

The parable of the soils is not about who is saved it is about who is fruitful. It says that we became unfruitful. This means that we were already fruitful. Mark 4:19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. All we have to do is return to it. Your car was built to go, if it won’t go you don’t start teaching it, you find out why it isn’t working and fix it. I won many souls before I even knew that there was a plan for getting people saved. I was so excited about knowing God that it was infectious.
