Side Notes From The Parade

The Lord delivered a couple more oportunities to me to present His message. One of them I will share. 2 teens in the mod type of clothing, hair swooshing over their face like they wanted, tatoos, ear rings in all the "right" places. Again they claimed to know the Gospel, they surely did not know anything close. Remember: close gets you points in horseshoes, it also gets you Hell for eternity.
I was about to start my presentation when their father walked up. I saw the puzzled look on his face. After explaining to him what I was doing, his response was "they are Christians already".
I told him I could not judge their hearts but I could plainly see the fruit dropping from their tree. I begged him to allow me 5 minutes of their time, he relented and the teens did too.
In the end after my presentation, I could tell the father appreciated all that I said. I shook their hands and told them to read the book of John.

Jhn 3:8
"The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit."

In case you need to know how to think on this verse: We don't control the wind or where it comes from and what is being blown by it. The same is with the Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit is the only one who can get a camel through the eye of a needle.

Jon's Confrontation with the Law?

Jon is in the background wearing the brown jacket passing out tracts. He has no clue Fort Worth's finest is keeping an eye on him. I know, Mr. Policeman just told me I was in the way and to move off the street where Jon where you see Jon in the Pic. Yes Jon ended up with me, off the street:
Jon is in the middle of designing a website of his own with a buddy of his. He will be entering into full time ministry after returning to Texas from Hawaii. Hard life eh! All these full time ministers tend to deserve a little break from time to time I guess. As soon as the site is available, I will post it here.

Pro 27:17
Iron sharpens iron, So one man sharpens another.

No Parade Here

Here is another friend of mine the Lord put into my life. Koko is his name and lives somewhere in the downtown area where we met on the parade route. Koko is holding a tract I gave him called "Are You Good Enough to Go to Heaven?". I asked if he knew the Gospel, he said yes. Because I don't believe what anyone tells me anymore in our post-modern, emergent time we're in I asked him to explain to me what the Gospel of Jesus Christ is. After a few more words just to be sure he knew what the question was, I asked him if I could explain it to him. Koko said yes. He was very gacious to me and gave me the time I needed to clearly explain it.
I took him through the ten commandments the pointer to our righteous redeemer. Once he knew what sin was and who it was he sinned against, a Holy and Righteous Judge who demands that we live a perfect and holy life, he understood the rest. Once he knew he was a lying adultery at heart and all liars and adulterers will have their part in the lake of fire then Christ's sacrifice for our sin's made sense to him.
Again, by using the simple clear Law of God, a Savior makes sense. The perfect sinnless life of Christ now placed on us once we have faith and repent. Have faith and repent, follow Christ in all that He commands. His yoke is easy. Christ paid the penalty for all our sins past present and future.
Do you even care that Koko needs Christ? You call Christ a liar if you sit in your comfortable pew week after week and do nothing.
Mar 16:20
And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them, and confirmed the word by the signs that followed.] [{And they promptly reported all these instructions to Peter and his companions. And after that, Jesus Himself sent out through them from east to west the sacred and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation.} ]
