"Help people who object understand that their argument is with the Bible rather than you personally."

DON'T ABANDON WHAT YOU THINK IS SO OUTRAGEOUS YET IS


IMPORTANT TRUTHS.....

GOD HAS NOT

YET REVEALED THE FINAL CHAPTERS IN YOUR LIVES

**Many who write for Authorsden also participate on yahoo boards. The Lord has blessed me with Christian websites on yahoo where I believe in telling the truth.

The Lord told us in Luke 14 verse "23": "And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled."

I have seen some on here who PROFESS HOLINESS while writing for Authorsden but then on the yahoo boards twist and mix the world and the church together. It's time to be about the Father's Business and expose these devils for who they are.

Whatever you do in the dark people it will be brought to the light.**


There are important biblical truths that apply to life today just as much as they did in generations past......



Faithful Christians





Need to answer Jesus' call to stand up for these truths and make a positive impact on the fallen world in which we live.



Here's how you can proclaim important truths that sound outrageous to some in our secular culture:



"Thinking you can get to heaven any other way"



Help people who object understand that their argument is with the Bible rather than you personally.



Let them know about Scripture verses such as John 14:6

6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.



and John 10:1

1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.





John 10: 9

9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.





Emphasize that the exclusivity of Christianity is not the claim of Christians it's God's decision.





Encourage people that God wants to save as many people as possible - not as few as possible. Let them know that God loves all people and point them to Scripture such as 1 Timothy 2:4, which affirms God's desire for all people to be saved. 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

Help them understand the Bible teaches that God will reveal Himself to those who sincerely want to know Him. Do all you can to get the Gospel message out to people.



"Suffering"



Encourage them that God fully understands our suffering (when He came to Earth as Jesus He suffered all kinds of pain). Affirm that God cares about what happens to us and will walk through any kind of suffering with us.



God has not yet revealed the final chapters in your lives.... and that He promises to work all things together for good for those who love Him.



"Hell is mentioned in the bible"



Help them understand the size and seriousness of the moral gulf between God and us. Explain that everyone deserves hell, but God offers the gift of salvation to everyone. Help them realize that people who reject or even neglect the Gospel are, in effect, rendering Christ's death on the cross (God's ultimate sacrifice because of His great love for all people) meaningless.



Help them recognize that people who are in hell are their because of their own decisions to rebel against God it's their choice not God's choice.



"Homosexuality is a perversion"



Don't shy away from the vital truth that homosexuality is a distortion of God's plan for human sexuality. Mix tender love with hard truth whenever you deal with this volatile subject by emphasizing God's love for all people even though He detests the sins that hurt them.



Point out what the Bible says about homosexuality in both the Old and New Testaments. Help them understand the importance of sexuality the way God designed it and recognize that homosexuality is neither normal nor healthy. Help them realize that just as an alcoholic is responsible for his or her actions even if predisposed toward alcoholism so a homosexual is as well. Tell them stories of people who have successfully been healed from homosexual relationships and gone on to fruitful lives as heterosexuals.



"Husbands are to be the leaders of their families"



Emphasize that submission is mutual because husbands and wives alike should submit every aspect of their lives to God first.



A faithful husband steps up to his responsibilities to lead the family and love his wife sacrificially (and never exploiting her), while a faithful wife chooses to submit to her husband out of love and respect for God because He has given her husband the position of head of the family. But a wife is free to refuse to submit if her husband asks her to do something that is contrary to God's Word. Explain that submission is a way of expressing love and working together for healthy marriage that draws upon each spouse's strengths.




"America is a Christian nation"



Encourage people to study the ideas and influences that shaped our Founding Fathers' thinking so they can recognize that the Bible played a crucial role in the formation of our government. Help people recognize the biblical principles so clearly and abundantly expressed in our nation's foundational documents such as the Bill of Rights and many others.



Explain that the concept of the separation of church and state originated for the purpose of protecting the church from the state - not to protect the state from the church. Help them learn how early government leaders wanted to ensure that the government did not corrupt the church, and that they were comfortable with the church's values guiding the government.



Be wise when talking with people about these controversial issues.



Pray for people and know that there's always hope for them to discover the truth and the joy of connecting to God.



In His Love,

Min. Nina
