Last Sunday our pastor allowed a member of the Gideon's to speak at our church.
The Gideons place bibles in schools, college, military, hotels and jails. They are know as Gideons International. And I quote / copy and paste
Gideons International is an evangelical Christian association founded in 1899 in Wisconsin. The Gideons' primary activity is distributing copies of the Bible free of charge. This Bible distribution is a global enterprise taking place in some 200 countries, territories and possessions.
One story that he mentioned was from a New Testament bible that was placed in a jail. Well, one prisoner got a bible, but used it, the pages / page to roll cigarettes to smoke. So that went on for a while, tearing out each page to roll his cigarettes. He went through the book of Matthew, Mark and Luke tearing each out, until he got to the book of JOHN, and He began to read pages from the book of John, then God spoke to his heart and the prisoner got saved, became a child of GOD, he prayed and he accepted Jesus into his heart.
Well, praise-the-Lord!!
He literally smoked his way through the gospels. Now he is out of jail and living for God.
Now, I would not recommend smoking, but get to God, and God getting you attention, I am ALL for that. It is very interesting the Book of John is sold at Christian book stores as a book by itself. Many Christian workers, will just place / hand out a copy of the book of John when trying to lead a lost person the Christ.
SO you don't have to smoke, go to a Christian book store, go to a Hotel and find a bible, perhaps turn to the book of John first then read it and let God speak to your heart.
Accept Jesus into your heart, and He will save you,
May GOD bless you,
