Peace - Revolver Part 2

"Be careful for nothing,

but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, 

which passeth all understanding, 

shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."

Paul's letter to the Philippians 

(Phil 4:6-7)

Continued from last week...
=======
The three young men walked closer to Joe, and were about ready to do whatever it took to get his money.
But before they could even say something to Joe, he asked them all, with a calm, peaceful demeanor, as well as a bold, enthusiastic voice and smile, "Hey guys, how are you all doing?"

That completely took them off guard.
"Normal people just usually aren't that friendly." The leader, Sean thought.
Sean stopped walking, said, "alright. How you doin'?"
"Doing great, thanks! Did you guys get one of these?" Joe said, as he handed them each a million dollar tract.
"What's this?" Sean asked.
"It's a gospel tract, with the million dollar question on the back: Are you going to heaven when you die?"
After a conversation with Joe, where he shared the true gospel with them, the three men repented from their sins, put their faith in Jesus as Lord and Savior, and became mighty warriors of God's kingdom.

The Lesson: God wants us to share the gospel boldly with love and truth, and to have PEACE about whatever the results are.
Whether the people you share the gospel with become Christians or not is up to God.
Whether you die or not while sharing the gospel shouldn't be our concern as long as we're doing our part to take care of His temple (our body).


Do you care more about your body,
Than you care about other people's souls?

Isn't it crazy to think that even if we lived in TORTURE for Christ,
on earth,
for 10 million years,
it would be worth it?
And a if we had to do it over again a BILLION times,
THAT would be worth it too.
Why? 
Because any number divided by infinity is zero,
And ANY number of years on earth will seem like zero compared to eternity.
Wow.

At that point we'd probably be like Paul, who said in Philippians, "Having a desire to depart and to be with Christ, nevertheless, to abide in the flesh (on earth) is more needful for YOU."
In other words, it's going to be so AWESOME in heaven, and even though we wanna go there,
We have more people that we should be a blessing to on earth.

Always Remember...



"This earth is the best that unsaved have,
For we that are saved by Christ,
the best is yet to come."

Application:
How to Become Unashamed of the Gospel....
Pray that God would give us joy in tribulations.
Why? because Romans 5:3-5 says that tribulations are the first thing to make not ashamed.

"Jesus gave His life for me,
I want to do the same for Him."

Tip of the Week
Take counsel from wiser people, who have the results that God wants first, and second the results that you specifically would like to have
In the multitude of counselors there is safety!


May God bless you all with His peace this week as you share the gospel boldly!
Your brother in Christ,
Landon
