Romans 8:31 "What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?

33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies.

34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.

35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?

37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us."

Church planting in the TAMPA BAY (what is church planting?)

Churches are closing their doors across the US. We lose 58 congregations each year.

There are places where you might find 3 churches in the whole state .. yet this issue is met with silence in circles where such concerns should be voiced.

I talked with a Christian who worshipped with me in a assembly of 400. This man was from out of state. He remarked that there's more Christians in this building, here then in these 4 states in America, and proceeded to name them. This godly man has visited 100 churches in the US and in our talks has said that most congregations he's been at are small.

As we talked this man said that Christians here are experiencing a rare thing in America....to be surrounded by so many brethren in worship and in fellowship. The church we worshipped at is blessed because of the work, that it does for the Father. But in many areas in the US, there are few Christians and some places no churches. This needs to change.

How many places do you know of where a new church is being planted? I'm not talking about when a church divides through strife....

When i say "church planting, "Im speaking about Bible based, planting, like we read about in the book of Acts. Paul did evangelism and that was how churches were planted in the New Testament.

Our mission field and missionary call is not just in foreign lands oversea, its also in our back yard.
Many evangelism efforts focus on planting/ supporting planted congregations in other countries....

But in a US county where congregations are dying each year, with few church planting taking place, perhaps we should also seek kingdom work closer to home in this matter.

More sermons on hell and heaven would remind more Christians of the need to share the gospel.
Reminders matter and help strengthen conviction.

Hell is real. Jesus talked about it more than anyone else in the New Testament. You need to know what He said.

The One Thing You Cannot Do In Heaven?

Wanted to share some quotes from a book I read: "I can guarantee that there is one thing you cannot do in Heaven that you can do on earth. You can worship God in Heaven. You can praise God in Heaven. You can sing songs to God in Heaven. You can learn God’s Word in Heaven. But one thing you cannot do in Heaven is share your faith with a non-believer. Why? Because everyone in Heaven is a believer. Do you realize that when you take your last breath, you will never again be able to talk with a lost person? Since that is true, shouldn’t it be a priority of your life to reach out to all the lost people on earth while you can?

Auburn University gave me a four-year basketball scholarship for one very simple reason. I don’t say this to be cocky, but I can shoot a basketball pretty well. I can take that orange ball and put it in the goal. Some people say I was born with the talent. I don’t believe that, although I definitely have athletic talent wired into me. The real reason I can shoot a basketball pretty well is hours upon hours upon hours of practice. All I did as a kid was shoot basketball, and if you do something often enough you get pretty good at it. So, if we can’t witness in Heaven and can witness only on earth, what is the only way we will ever become good at it? Practice. Practice. Practice. I firmly believe that witnessing is a learned talent. God burdens our hearts to reach the lost, but we must get out there and start practicing those conversations. The funny thing is, though, the more you practice, the easier it becomes."​

From Mark Cahill's book "One Thing You Can't Do in Heaven"

Amen 💚 🙏

Without revelation there is no revolution. Not just truths taught but truths felt. (2 Corinthians 5: 11;14) Until those of faith feel Christ words they read burn in them (Jeremiah 20:9) enough live the gospel as our Lord did beside the sea of Galilee and by the roads of Jordan, religion to many will be an academic exercise and little else.

Evangelism can affect our generation if enough of us dare to go into the past and bring the gospel examples of Jesus into the present. Love and compassion towards the world is the way to reflect His walk within the gospel. (Matthew 9:35-38)

We are commanded to not just care for the caught fish in the fish bowl we are called to fish...as Christ fished. We are to be as Jesus was. (Luke 6:40) That is how we live as His....as disciples (followers) of Jesus (A term for Christ-ians/Acts 11:26)

Matthew 4:19 “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.”

1 John 2:6 "Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did."

We are called to call and saved to save. This is the Christian purpose and reason for our spiritual lives. (2 Corinthians 5:18-19/1 Peter 2:9)

Evangelism works for those who are willing to let Christ live in them. (Galatians 2:20) The Gospel IS the power of God for salvation to all who believe. (Romans 1:16) Here are past photo's of people coming to the Lord, washing there sins away. (Acts 22:16) To God be the glory.
