Who I am.
I’m just a Christian, who, by the Grace of God, was saved from eternal damnation; a fate that I fully deserve. But, the God of the Bible being as merciful and kind as He is, saved me, to His glory. God gave me a new heart, and life itself…I’m eternally thankful.
Additionally, since we are commanded to preach the gospel, this site is here to help other Christians learn to witness and share their faith more effectively and there are materials on this site to help you do that.
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. You will be judged on every thought word and deed. And the standard is perfection.
You must face the fact that you are a sinner, filthy in God’s eyes, and you deserve what you get. It’s NOT about a reward for you…something you get for doing something…it’s that you are guilty and you realize it. You must repent of your sins…believe on the Lord Jesus Christ as your only hope…may he save you as he saved me.
I pray that he does.
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
http://goshareyourfaith.wordpress.com/2008/04/09/law-to-the-proud-grace-to-the-humble/
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.

GREAT site. I have added you to my blogroll. I love your posts on evangelism.
Hi Bob,
great to have another look around your site again. Thanks for the many 100’s? 1000’s hours you put into it to put these resources before us and to lovingly challenge those to do not believe to consider the condition of their immortal soul. Every blessings, Geoff
