@bornagainsteph Yes, you were born again Steph, baptized with fire and the holy spirit. Time to show Jesus you can walk on your own storing up treasures in heaven as you go out and proclaim the good news of salvation. Just like he has showed you.
Jesus’s invitation:
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
Prayer is the time when God allows us to curl up in his lap and be comforted. He allows us to take all of our problems, worries and suffering and lay them at his feet.
@CTmagazine I used https://t.co/xirdz5Idry to practice my witnessing. The AI Elon Musk is now a Christian. I still have the transcripts if you would like to see them.
@greglaurie We must also remember that when we "spread the seeds of salvation" we do not throw it in their face. Always take a tactful approach to witnessing. It is always possible to offend others, even with the most important message they will ever hear! Always remember Luke 17:1!
@CSLewisDaily It's likely Taylor quit writing her own music a while back. Professing your faith is only the first step on the road to becoming a follower of Christ.
@greglaurie The joy of praying comes from the knowledge and trust that God is always listening. If I fail to hear his response it is usually because I am not listening.
@greglaurie I look for my rewards in Heaven. However earthly rewards are pretty amazing as well. Nothing compares with how rewarding it is when a professed atheist tells you he has accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior. It truly is a glimpse of the Kingdom of Heaven!
I have been reading books of the major prophets looking for references to Christ. I am just finishing Jeremiah and have found only six. The rest describes a very angry God. It's been a really tough read. Anyone else have trouble with this book?
@greglaurie Sin without remorse means that the piece of God he placed in their heart at birth now has a hardened shell that only Jesus can remove. The message of Jesus ability to free a person from the prison of their sins is both powerful and timeless.
@greglaurie Not sure it's a secret since God made each of us with a little piece of Him in our hearts. We are all aware of what is required of us. We are also given free will and many choose to follow sin instead.
