What is YOUR Ultimate Problem?  DON'T MISS OUT--see the drop-down menu showing  the link UNDER "Solving Our Ultimate Problem" above for more information, please!

Here is a way we Christians can share the gospel with millions (honest).  See this video: https://youtu.be/sWDkFn6OP-Q 

26 sites occupied during day of 27th, and I got to talk to people on a dozen sites, gave out 14 tracts to them.  We will leave tomorrow on the 29th, to drive to Clifty Falls State Park.  There we will be off the grid until Tuesday the 1st, so we will be 'dark' as to cell phone service and internet service.  The Food for Thought and Prayer below is two days early due to that reason.  God bless.

Only five campsites occupied this morning (23rd), but in an hour I got to share the Gospel with two couples and another man! Wow!

First I saw a YA couple from New York state (car license) getting loaded up to leave. I struck up a conversation. No real spiritual belief, didn’t understand much about Jesus, and not sure about heaven and hell. I shared the Gospel, they listened, and then I gave them $1M and Are You a Good Person tracts.

I saw a man from TN (license plates tell me a lot), and started talking to him when he brought out a rescued greyhound to walk it. I shared the Gospel quickly, as he seemed in a hurry, and gave him two tracts, too.

I was getting some water bottles out of our pass through, when a man and wife in a pickup stopped in front of our RV. We have a suet holder beside our RV, and he asked if we were getting any birds to feed there. I told him no, and we are surprised. He said the natural balance is good here, and the birds aren’t attracted. I asked him if they are birders, he nodded. (My brother and sister-in-law are birders.) They’re from outside of Chicago. He’s agnostic, was Lutheran. I asked that since he’s agnostic, to him, who is Jesus? He said a historical character (man). Not sure about heaven or hell. I shared with him the proofs for the Messiahship and for the resurrection of Jesus—OT prophecies fulfilled, His predictions that He would rise from the dead (although the disciples didn’t believe He was talking literally), over 500 witnessed Him alive and well after His death on the cross, and the transformation of the faith’s chief persecuter Saul into the faith’s most powerful proclaimer of Jesus’ resurrection! I gave him and her a tract, and asked their names. Please pray for R and C.

An hour and three times I got to share the Gospel, including one couple who came to me and stopped in front of the RV! Praise the Lord! I can almost hear the Holy Spirit saying, “Yes, seed planted. Now I can go to work!”

Please pray for these people. May we believers see them all in heaven!

Christians, sow the Seed of the Gospel!  We often only get a brief chance to do this.  Sow the Seed of the Gospel when you have the opportunity!

 

Food for Thought and Prayer (updated each Monday and Thursday)

Nothing will work unless you do.  —Maya Angelou

Believe you can and you're halfway there.  —Theodore Roosevelt

What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality.  —Plutarch

Richard Graham—not sure of these stats, but they sound close to reality:

To keep up with the population growth and halt the decline of the American church, there is an imperative to plant at least 2,900 churches per year (that’s just to maintain the current % of evangelicals).  —Matt Fretwell

… before we can plant that many churches, we have to stop the closing of about 1,000 per year.  —Christopher Sanchez

For the current congregations to grow they have to have a visitor rate of 30% higher than their active membership, as churches lose approximately 20% per year.  —Matt Fretwell

On top of those facts, something like 1,500 ministers leave the ministry for various reasons.  —Christopher Sanchez

Human babies are being chopped up so Planned Parenthood can see parts, no one cares.  A dentist kills a lion, and everybody loses their minds.  —Apologia Radio

Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.  —Benjamin Franklin

As a liberal Democrat, I am appalled at Nancy Pelosi.  The idea of her weaponizing the criminal justice system and calling for the imprisonment of the President of the United States without him being charged with any crime, without him being charged with any impeachable offense.  It’s just outrageous.  It sounds like the conversation between Stalin and Beria where Beria said to Stalin, “Show me the man, and I’ll find you the crime.”  The idea of the most important Democrat in the United States calling for the imprisonment of a president is such core violation of civil liberties, the rule of law, and American justice.  She ought to be absolutely ashamed of herself.  —Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz, stated 2018

So, if we lie to the government, it’s a felony.  But if they lie to us, it’s politics.  —Bill Murray

It is not the bee’s touching of the flower, which gathers honey—but her abiding for a time upon the flower, which draws out the sweet. It is not he who reads most—but he who meditates most, who will prove the choicest, sweetest, wisest and strongest Christian.  —Thomas Brooks

I only have two dates on my calendar . . . today and Judgment Day.  —Martin Luther

I believe that appreciation is a holy thing—that when we look for what’s best in a person we happen to be with at the moment, we’re doing what God does all the time.  So in loving and appreciating our neighbor, we’re participating in something sacred.  —Fred Rogers

The angel looked at Mary, thinking, “You have no idea how important you are!”  The Holy Spirit looks at each of you, and says, “You have no idea how important you are, and the potential you have!”  —Pastor Shelby Smith

Reject the tyranny of picked. Pick yourself.  --Seth Godin, “Poke the Box”

Human nature is to need a map. If you’re brave enough to draw one, people will follow.  --Seth Godin, “Poke the Box”

I define anxiety as experiencing failure in advance…and if you have anxiety about initiating a project, then of course you will associate risk with failure.  --Seth Godin, “Poke the Box”

I am imperfect in many things, nevertheless I want my brethren and kinsfolk to know my nature so that they may be able to perceive my soul’s desire.  —Saint Patrick

If your dream only includes you, it’s too small.  —Ava DuVernay

Prayer is not so much an act as it is an attitude—an attitude of dependency, dependency upon God.  —A. W. Pink
