Who I am.
I’m just a Christian, who, would like to help other Christians learn to witness and share their faith more effectively. I use the principle of “law to the proud, grace to the humble”. It’s biblically sound and very effective. It bypasses the place of argument; the intellect, and goes straight for the conscience. Go to the links page to learn more about it.
Why do I do this?
Good question; why would I spend my time and effort, putting this web site up at all? Well, first off, it’s all about my gratitude. My gratitude for my salvation, and the amazing free gift it is. What can I do but spend the rest of my days thanking God by telling the world, “the good news” of the Gospel of Jesus Christ?
What IS the Gospel?
Another good question. Maybe the question is: What ISN’T the gospel? You hear a lot of things these days that are passed for “the gospel”. Some are; “come and accept Jesus into your heart and you’ll have a better life”, or “You have a God shaped hole in your heart, only He can fill”. Well then, what IS the gospel message; what’s the “good news” that you should know about? Simply put it’s this: mankind, by virtue of Adams’ fall, is sinful by nature and his ultimate destiny is HELL. “What?? going to hell?” you say. I’m guessing that you assumed that man was destined to go to heaven, because God is grading on a curve. Not so. Read on…
How will we be judged?
Simply put? By Gods standard of perfection. What is that perfection? it’s the 10 commandments. Have you heard of them? Most people have, and probably most people will say that they follow them also. This isn’t what the bible says, the bible says that “none seek after God”.
So my question to you is this: what are you going to do about it? If you’ve got questions; email me, I’ll try and answer them, If you think what I’ve said is all baloney and you think you’re a good person, go here and “take the good person test” and see how you’ll do on judgment day.
What is your background in Bible? From what point of view do you view your understanding of the Scripture.

Charles,
I’m not sure what you mean by my “point of view” of my understanding of scripture.
You can probably tell a lot from my posts…
I found my way here from Born 4 Battle. Looking forward to reading my way around. Thanks for your efforts.

What is the “links page” and where on the links page do I find out about “law to the proud, grace to the humble”?
b4dguy,
You caught a typo!
Those words were from my other site before I closed it down.
I’ll put up some links to vids and docs explaining all of it…keep checking back today…
thanks for catching that.
Here is the link to the materials found on my blog

and here is a link to some vids:

I wasn’t sure if it was a typo, or I’m just not familiar with blogging lingo. at any rate, I look forward to reading/hearing about the concept of “law to the proud; grace to the humble.”
b4dguy,
the link that I put in my reply was a link to 4 pdf files explaining the Law to the proud concept.
Basically though, it’s this… The word says that God “resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble” and so Ray Comfort and co have used this principle in developing the “Way of the Master” materials, as a way to witness to unbelievers.
If an unbeliever is proud, and not receptive, then we are to speak to them about their sin, and keep on speaking it so their conscience does it’s work.
The word says that the law was given “so that every mouth may be stopped and the whole world become guilty before God.”
It also says that the “law is perfect in converting the soul.”
So, they’ve come up with a small formula based on asking about the 10 commandments, and getting answers out of unbelievers as a way to get them thinking about their sin…all before talking about the cross.
I find its a good way to “keep things straight” and not lose my place when witnessing, so I used a loose version of it.
anyway, check out the link and read up…
thanks,
bob
ahh…the old “10 Commandments Pop Quiz” - I’ve used that for many years since I first heard about it in high school in the 70’s. In this version, you ask about someone’s adherence to the 10 commandments. Of course, we’re all 0 for 10, and the grading scale is 100% - pass, everything else you fail.
I’m familiar with WOTM, but I had not heard this terminology before.
Thanks.
b4dguy,
Yes, you got it.
I hadn’t realized that they were using it in the 70’s though…interesting.
