Evangelism con't.

Psalm 107:31-32
31 Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love
and his wonderful deeds for men.

32 Let them exalt him in the assembly of the people
and praise him in the council of the elders.

Let people understand that God has blessed them and others. There realization will lead the into his righteousness.

Psalm 107:42-43
42 The upright see and rejoice,
but all the wicked shut their mouths.

43 Whoever is wise, let him heed these things
and consider the great love of the LORD.

Evil people won't care, be concious. Those who are good and wise will take heed to God's work in everyone's lives and think about the love of the Lord.

Ecclesiates 11:4-6
4 Whoever watches the wind will not plant;
whoever looks at the clouds will not reap.

5 As you do not know the path of the wind,
or how the body is formed [a] in a mother's womb,
so you cannot understand the work of God,
the Maker of all things.

6 Sow your seed in the morning,
and at evening let not your hands be idle,
for you do not know which will succeed,
whether this or that,
or whether both will do equally well.

You are not God. You are doing his work, when you evangelize. Remember that the person must answer to God. Don't stop doing what the Holy Spirit tells you to do, because God is using you even if you don't know how.

Isaiah 65:8
8 This is what the LORD says:
"As when juice is still found in a cluster of grapes
and men say, 'Don't destroy it,
there is yet some good in it,'
so will I do in behalf of my servants;
I will not destroy them all.

Regardless of what they've done if God still sees the good in a person, he will be with them. If he loves them you should to.

1 Peter 3:15-22
15But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, 16keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander. 17It is better, if it is God's will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil. 18For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit

Share your story, share the good news. Sharing your change (which is the art of testimony) could very well be the key to helping save someone from eternal damnation.

Successful?

"Do not envy evil people or try to be friends with them. Their minds
are always planning violence and they always talk about trouble." Proverbs
24:1-2

What is it that you want from life? Is there a life that you desire to live? Are there any luxuries that you wish to have? Any people that you admire?

...Do any of those embody Christ?

Today I define success, as a Christian. Success should not be having thousand ,of dollars to spend freely, nor should it be having the most attractive boyfriend/girlfriend. We have to remember that the sole REASON we are on this Earth is to serve God, and fulfill his purpose for us. So I ask when we place revere in men who make a living off of misogynist lyrics, or women who dance half-clothed on television living by 'sex sells' instead of 'Jesus saves', are we serving God's will. Are we fulfilling his purpose? Or are we working for the enemy?

The scripture above says not to envy those who delve in these evil behaviors. It is not wise, for their minds are no more stable than leaf on a tree. As the wind blows, their position changes.

But the bible quotes "Their minds are always planning violence." Not only are they dangerous, but their mere THOUGHTS are violent. Their thoughts are harmful. A person who is full of harmful thoughts, is capable of dangerous actions. "They always talk about trouble." What do you learn from someone who only speaks trouble? Drama? Sorrow? Pain? Nothing positive comes of it, so why do you desire to be their friend, let alone be like them.

Remember the next time you think about success, God has an extraordinary success plan for your life, and the only way to achieve that success is through his word, and his son Jesus Christ. Don't let an evil person interfere with that plan.
