Great night!!

So tonight was the harvest party and it went off without a hitch!! It was fabulous. Everything went well and I have faith that the drama touched some people and that they will read the Gospels we gave them at the end. One of my co-workers came with her kids so they got to hear the gospel too.
All I have to say is Praise God

Goodnight and God bless,
Anthony

P.S. real post to come tomorrow!!!

Humility

On Sunday night, my youth pastors wife Melissa preached a sermon on humility and at the end of it she had set up a foot washing ceremony for the leaders (thats me) to wash the feet of the youth as a demonstration of humility for both parties. I knew of the ceremony before that night and was not very worried about it but when it came down to it the first person that came to my station was someone that I had a problem with and thought it was over.... NOT. Every ounce of pride I had swelled up and in my mind I said ' I am not washing his feet!'. I took her message to heart so i began to wash his feet and prayed all the while... such an awesome and humbling experience. it got even more humbling when one of the other leaders washed my feet! I thought doing the washing was hard it was even harder to be the one getting your feet washed. it all makes sense now cuz in the Bible peater become completely humbled once he allows Jesus to wash his feet. If this seems weird to you look it up in the Bible... I believe its in John (someone correct me if I am wrong)

God bless,

Cool stuff!

Sorry I haven't gotten to posting anything in a few days.


There are these two girls that I work with that I have been trying to find a time to wittiness to. This week Joey and I finally had a chance to talk to them!! we walk every morning on our break and one of them asked if we had a special diet our religion had to stick to. we told them no and somehow found a way to preach the gospel to them. Later that day we were able to give them both a gospel of John. It was way cool. We have been trying for a long, long time to talk to them.

well, I realize it wasn't much but this is what I got

God bless,

Don't let politics take higher imprtaince than Christ

I recently read an article called Why Some Evangelicals Won't Vote for Romney I read comments posted about the article and it led me to post a response on the site this is what I wrote:

Bill Keller is 100% correct!To PreacherAz:we as born again Christians have MUCH to be worried about. not only will mormanism be legitimized but by these evangelical leaders backing a morman we are confirming the worlds assumption and the Mormans attempt to say that they are just another form of Christianity. If this becomes the common belief I believe there will be a mass move to mormanism and it will no longer be considered a cult but become a legitimate religion. Normally, it would not matter if a religion was no longer considered a cult but the morman cult has already been such a powerful force in its cult state so imagine how much faster it would grow in the world if evangelical leaders send out the message that it is a legitimate religion rather than the false doctrine meant to deceive and blind millions that it actually is. If you want to follow the thought that we should vote for whoever could beat hillary you should vote for gulianni (I do not endorse him, I think he would be just as terrible as a democrat)I agree with the fact that every Christian that votes for romney is responsible for every person that is deceived by Mormanism due to its legitimization. You may have the right to vote for romney and you may know that mormanism is a cult but there are many who do not

1 Corinthians 8: 9- 13:9:

Be careful, however, that the exercise of your freedom does not become a stumbling block to the weak. 10For if anyone with a weak conscience sees you who have this knowledge eating in an idol's temple, won't he be emboldened to eat what has been sacrificed to idols? 11So this weak brother, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge. 12When you sin against your brothers in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. 13Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause him to fall.>

Woe be the one that causes souls to burn in hell all because they like the politics of a high priest in a Cult and let it outweigh the truth of the Gospel

There is no "I" in God

This has been on my heart for a while now but it wasn't until just now that I found the words I was looking for:

I listen to a Christian radio show all the time and they always play clips of these emergent people always talking about the way God makes them feel and its always "I feel that God...." and "I think that God...". Talk like this always bothers me but i wasn't sure why. I finally figured it out! A good rule of thumb in my opinion is that as soon as you hear "I fell God...." or "I think God..." it should be a good indicator to be weary of what is about to be said. Nowhere in the Bible does it say to take the word of God and tailor it to your emotions. The question should never be what I think God is or God makes me fell like it should be what does the word of God say and what is God speaking to me through His word. now don't get me wrong, I am not saying that you can't ever have an opinion about the things of God but as soon as you start having an opinion about what God is and if you let that take precedence of what the word says He is you are in a sticky situation!

This is just my word of caution to every one to be on the look out for theology's like this where they let their emotions (part of the flesh) run things rather than having faith and looking to God and His word for the truth and guidance.


Good night and God bless,
