Because I Deserve IT !

Hi Friends - Welcome,

January 12, 2010.

I would like to update the adventures of the tailgate ministries experience.  To stand alone on a windy cold parking lot, a main street in a small town can only be done knowing you are not alone.  Knowing that Jesus is by my side all of the time allows be to be unafraid.  I never turn my back on any person, no matter how they look or how they are dressed. I think that the organized church today has more Samarias in their home town than are in the middle east.

By the way I just finisked reading Inside the Revolution by Joel C. Rosenberg. Read it. God is working miracles even today.  Read it.

So, last week I am at a small strip malll handing out Bibles and religious tracts. Several people were curious and some took a Bible or a tract. Ususally I get a few of these and then God sends me one or two who look like and act like God sent them.  This young mother with her infant stopped to talk and take a Bible. When i asked her the two questions, If you were to die tonight...and , What would you tell God.... She said "Because I deserve to go to heaven". 

First time I heard this one. I have been doing door to door evangelism (EE) for 20 years. But, it shows us the world is changing.  This mother really believed in her mind and heart that she belonged in God's heaven when she died. No qualifications.  I took what few minutes she allowed me to share about the Holiness of God and the sacrifice His Son made.  Heaven is a free gift but, there are a few qualifications.  Repentance, Lordhsip of Jeus etc,... She left with an invite to our church and the infant.  Pray for her and those like her who were raised thinking they deserved everything. For free.

Pray for Tail Gate Ministries and me.  I want to be an effective tool for the Gospel and an unashamed servant of Jesus to a world that really needs Him
