Do you treat God as a butler? Do you mistakenly think that the great Creator of the universe is at your beckon call to magically provide you with whatever you ask Him for? Do you think God is around just to make your life better? To provide you with wealth and prosperity? That's obviously not the way to pray. So why should we pray to God? Because He communicates to us through His word, through other ... http://www.seekandsavethelost.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1330410247 General http://www.seekandsavethelost.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1330410247&comments=comments http://www.seekandsavethelost.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1330410247 Sun, 13 May 2012 17:03:00 -0600 Daily Needs Some prosperity gospel preachers use Matt. 6:33 for their message because they focus in on the last part that says "and all these things shall be added to you." So they preach that if you seek God (if you ask Him for what you want), he will give it to you. He will add it to you. But is this prosperity gospel biblical? Is that what Jesus was really telling us - just ask me and ... http://www.seekandsavethelost.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1335643716 General http://www.seekandsavethelost.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1335643716&comments=comments http://www.seekandsavethelost.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1335643716 Sun, 06 May 2012 13:48:00 -0600 In Focus or Out of Focus? We have a pond behind our house and we see Canadian geese all the time, but every now and then we'll see a mallard, road runner or a blue heron. When one of these birds are across the pond they are hard to see with the naked eye. So we keep a pair of binoculars handy so we can see these beautiful creatures that God has made.

A lot of people do because most of us don't like weeds. We have always used weed killer because we want our yard to look good.

Can you do whatever you please, whenever you want to? With no repercussions? Do you have a license to sin? Some people claim to be a Christian, but they still live for themselves: selfishly, lusting, coveting and doing whatever they want, when they want.

So what's the big deal about sin? Everybody does it. We are all just human beings. We all make mistakes. There's no need to worry about it. We're not bad people. It's not like we've murdered anyone. There are a whole lot of people that are worse (more evil) than we are. Just live and let live. We hear all kinds of statements like these when we are out street witnessing.

I won first place a few times in golf in high school. I was only an average golfer so the team wasn't really very good and sometimes our competition wasn't very good either.

When I'm out witnessing with Born of Him Ministries, we sometimes run into professing Christians who are stumbling drunk and/or yell at us that we shouldn't be preaching the Gospel in the open air. Also recently, Rick Santorum said that "If the President says that he's a Christian, he's a Christian." So these things made me wonder, how do you know that you are really saved?

I agree with that statement (but not in the context most people use it in). Variety is the spice of life. Look around at creation and what do you see?

They weren't familiar with you or where you were at in the curriculum, so they usually were more of a babysitter than a teacher (at least that was the case growing up in the 70's). Sometimes people say Jesus was our substitute for us, that He suffered and died on the cross for guilty sinners. 1 Peter 2:24 states, "Who his own self bare our sins ... http://www.seekandsavethelost.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1329933624 General http://www.seekandsavethelost.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1329933624&comments=comments http://www.seekandsavethelost.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1329933624 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 18:00:00 -0700 Why Do You Deceive People with Million Dollar Bill Tracts?

God is loving ( Ephesians 2:4 ). John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." This is an amazing Bible verse. God loves us (the world) so much, that He gave, in other words He sacrificed His one and only Son for us so that we might have eternal life.

I believe when he's "tebowing," that he is sincerely praying and/or praising our one true God. I don't believe it is an act or a show of any kind. I think Tebow is really worshiping God when he kneels down. People either jump on the Tebow bandwagon or they hate on him, they make fun of him and his faith.

I'm not very patient at all. I've pretty much been a hot head my whole life. Thankfully God has been working on me since I was born again over four years ago. A temper is a horrible thing.

I knew a guy years ago that had one. He used to like to say "I'll flip you for it" and he would always call heads. He wasn't malicious with it and he didn't take your money, he just thought it was fun to mess with people. Most people couldn't figure out how he always won.

A lot of people reduce Christianity down to this: You ask God to forgive you (maybe even while shedding a few tears) while you have an emotional moment.

My waist line proves it. I need to lose a few pounds (and hopefully I can do that starting the new year).

Some people think it is about family. Others say it is to give presents and still other people think it is about receiving presents. Being around family and sharing presents is a great thing to do.

During that time, the thing that is most consistent (with professing Christians and non-Christians alike) is that most people think they are good.

Sadly, the majority of the people who yell at us saying that we are offending them claim to be Christians themselves. Why is this sad?
