No Excuse

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God”
Paul's Second Epistle to Timothy
(II Timothy 3:16)


Dear followers of Christ,

I don't know if you all realize this, but....
We are SO blessed to be a part of the body of Christ!

The more that I evangelize to people, the more thankful I am for Christian fellowship.
When you're out there on the battlefield, sharing truth that can impact people's souls,
A lot of things just seem to shrink in value.

In the book“The Bravehearted Gospel,” Eric Ludy talks about the Canon tested word of God.
I had never even heard exactly how books of the Bible were added on to the 5 books of Moses. I had always wondered about that, but it is just amazing to hear the process that those people went through to make sure that the things which were being added, actually were the Word of God.

Now, not only do I know for sure that all scripture is given by the inspiration of God,
but I know HOW I can know that to be true, and WHY no other religion can say the same thing.

Powerful stuff!

Literally, we can come up to anyone, anywhere, with any background, and have complete confidence that what we as Christians have is completely true.

While we should be very thankful to have this information, and spend more time studying it, some people get so focused on winning arguments, that they forget or stray away from the main thing.
The main purpose for studying Biblical Canon, is to be able to tell more people about God.

What is scary about this information, is that people don't even know about this. So there are some people who have just been raised to believe a certain thing a certain way, and they are just lacking the correct information to really believe in Christianity.
When you study Biblical Canon, it completely takes away every excuse a person could have to not share the gospel of Christ with anyone.

I encourage you all to study that! It's at the end of the book in The Bravehearted Gospel.

It never ceases to amaze me, how SO many people are open to talking about spiritual things.
Remember, even though people don't typically talk about death and eternity,
EVERYONE thinks about it at least occasionally!

Sometimes they are just waiting for you and me to bring up the topic.
Then we can share the truth of God's amazing, awesome love.
Remember, it's not us that saves people.
Jesus saves people!
We just obey God and share the truth of the gospel in love, and then pray He saves them.

Let's go out and make sure we share Jesus' love with others!

God bless you all this week!
Love in Christ,
Landon

Do you have an excuse for not sharing Christ?


Project 100 Update
After devoting more prayer and thought toward this idea,
As well as taking wise counsel from my dad,
We decided that Project 100 is something that is best to not be taken while on our vacation.
Project 100 Highlights will be delayed until May 2,
Unless something changes before then.

  2. No Excuses!!
    just kidding - no problem. I go to bed early anyway - and I like the post!

    We are blessed to have fellow believers! This reminds me of the pictures from WW2 that show a soldier with his arm around his wounded buddy.

    I think many people are looking for someone who will be fine with talking about heavier things, but they just don't have anybody. A lot of times, one good friend can make the difference between a happy life and suicide.

    Keep it up!
