A Blog Burrito.

i prayed last night to God about what ken talked to me about. How to recruit soldiers of Christ. God spoke to me and said one word. Perseverance.


Perseverance : steady persistence in a course of action, a purpose, a state, etc., esp. in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement (dictionary dot com lol)

A seriously awesome chapter on perseverance : James 1:2 - 18. and thats where im going to base this blog on. mostly ;D

so if you've read ken's blog you'd know that he had posted about how to spread the gospel more efficiently. the only problem is that human's do not like change. at all. period. if they do become christian they have to go through drastic change. they need to devote a lot of time to God. they need to go to church. and thats whats most popular with my friends. what is also a very popular excuse is that they dont have time and that they are very got up at school or have better things to do. im starting learn how to sit . not doing any work on sundays (my sabbath) and also making time for God. way easier than last year because my new homeroom is a bit of a slouch. hahaha. but i still have much more to learn down this long and winding road. my problem is that when i try to get people to seek Christ (especially very immature people, you know who you are) attack you by saying God doesn't exist, or that science makes the world go around or something of this nature. and as we all know that is just ludicris. this is where perseverance takes place. you should know when to stop poking whoever if you know they're annoyed by you, but you should never stop trying. leave them alone and then try again later, much later in some cases. perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking in anything. have patience. keep praying for them and encourage them to seek out Christ. dont think that they may fall into the "darkside" forever and be condemned.


to bring in more christians is to saving them from multitudes of sins. those who arent christian are blind and wandering in darkness. they commit sins and do not know that they are sinning. from enoch's blog : Only those that know of the sin can remove it but only those that remove that which blinds them will see new things and clearly. so this means that these blind people will be able to open their eyes a little once they accept that they are sinning and accept Christ as their saviour (part uno) . and now they have to learn how to repent of their sins and rid themselves of idols and so forth.

also make sure that you include God in this. you need him more than you think. it is through him that it is possible to break through to some individuals. dont try and "muscle" or "solo" it by yourself because you will fail. epically? lol. faith without deeds is dead and deeds without faith is dead. by the way if you dont catch my drift its faith=God and deeds=us. (christians)


here are ken's guidelines to evanglism?
1) somethings not right with us and our world 2) The world was meant to be good 3) Sin and its effects distorted the world we live in now 4) In Jesus, God has taken the initiative to fix what we broke 5) God will one day make all things right 6) Meanwhile, God continues to redeem his creation in the present 7) You can respond to God's offer of new life


PRAISE GOD!

evangelism isn't one of my "strongholds". I guess im kinda a wuss and sometimes back out and fail to do what God so urges me to do. honesty i don't know how to approach my friends at school with this but luckily i know God is a good God and his timing never fails. pray for me...

hey jones, i dunno who you are but i prayed for you. stay strong in faith. by the way i was reading about gifts that God gives us. evanglism is one of them. as you can see Paul had evanglism as a gift.every christian has a gift, which in your case may not be evanglism. pray and ask God what it is. you must learn how to use your gift to glorify God

ill keep praying for you bro ;D
