Rejoice evermore.
1 Thessalonians 5:16
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Around the world tonight at midnight everyone will be celebrating another year. This verse came to mind and how we have another year coming up to share the gospel. We have new year approaching where we have the opportunity to tell someone about Jesus Christ and how He died for them to give them the most precious gift of salvation. There are many ways to share the gospel. You can hand out gospel tracts, one on one witnessing, taking part in a youth ministry, helping at your church, finding a soup kitchen to help with and my personal favorite being a living testimony. The example that I always tell people about and always comes to mind is Stephen the first Christian martyr. I believe his very living the Christian life till his death had an impact on the Apostle Paul's life. Friends I know with the way the world seems to be going and how things are it can get discouraging, but hold fast in the faith and fight the good fight( 1 Timothy 6:12 ).
For anyone reading this tonight who has not accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and personal Savior I invite you to do so. Ask Him into your heart and admit your a sinner in need of His forgiveness. Be real with Him and cast all your worries, doubts, and fears at His feet, the feet of mercy for He cares for you( 1 Peter 5:7 ). Repent of your old ways and find your identity in Jesus Christ( 2 Corinthians 5:17 ). Don't let your past or not being perfect get in the way( Psalm 103:12, Romans 3:23 ). Instead cast yourself upon His mercy( Luke 18:13 ). Remember He is waiting on you with arms wide open( John 3:16 ). In those arms you will find love( John 15:13 ), mercy( Romans 5:6-8 ), forgiveness( 1 John 1:9 ), and a grace that is sufficient( 2 Corinthians 12:9 ). Will you choose Him? Will you let Him set you free from the bonds of sin( John 8:36 ) ? I encourage you to do so. This is the single greatest choice you will ever make. It is a matter of life and death, life and death eternal( John 3:18 ). Don't wait, make the choice tonight ( Matthew 24:36 ) !
God bless,
John W. Whybrew III <><
