There is a story of a rich man in the gospels who lived a life of luxury and abundance, and at his gate was a castaway. Sick, homeless, hungry and destitute. This rich man (like many of us) have been blessed by God so greatly, so undeservedly and that in and of itself is a scandal; but the most incredible thing is that having SEEN the man, he did not SEE the opportunity, or feel the compulsion or compassion to alleviate his pain

This same Christ who died according to the scriptures, this same Christ who was raised from the dead according to the scriptures; is the one, THE ONE. The one sacrifice. The one redeemer. The one Son of God. The one Judge. The only name under heaven, whereby we must be saved.

When we are going life whether difficult or not it is hard to at times to keep our focus on what really matters. In this story I want to draw out need for Jesus

A personal testimony challenging Christians to "tell their story".

A personal testimony challenging Christians to "tell their story".

It is not only the world that has lost its way, but also many who once walked with the Lord. At one time they knew his voice, loved his word, and lived for his glory....(but now) they have devolved into enlightment, wokeness, lovers of the world, pleasure and sin; even disdaining the years that they walked with him. And others who were assaulted by life, sorrow, pain and disappointment and used that as an occasion to turn from the Lord that they once loved and served so well.....And there are others whose drift turned into distance and they aren't really sure when or how they left; but they are a long distance aways from the Fathers House, But what ever the case, i know two things. Backsliding is a real thing; but to the one who turns back to God, His grace is an even GREATER thing.

Those of you know me that I do not waste the opportunity the Lord has given me to minister on Sundays to give some self-help, positive image, new age foolishness....but instead as with Sunday, we will examine the scriptures and determine why a believer should have God based confidence, that has a great RECOMPENSE of REWARD. There is no situation, no circumstances, no test or season that the believer does not and should not have the expectation of victory because of His position in Christ and the word of His testimony.

The world is filled with lost people who the God of this world hath blinded their eyes lest the light of the glorious gospel should shine unto them and they could see the truth. Once they have come to faith (and are found) we are to disicple them in the truth of God's word and train them in the ways of God. But what of the broken, the shattered, the traumatized and the decimated. Even if they have eyes to see the truth they are blinded by their pain and sorrow. And if they are saved and others try to disciple them their soul seems to be paralized, unable to fully respond the call to know and follow Christ. It is for their pain and dillema, we will look to the scriptures to find out how God can use us to mend them
