Faith, reasons and evidences
I have just came through some Faith, reasoning and evidences classes on the bible with some Apologetic teachings and I must admit there's something there for the God called Preacher, However, there's still something that can be said about the the power of the word of God to convict and the moving of the Holy Spirit to convince a sinner, even a college educated sinner.
I think about the testimony of a young Cherokee Indian boy who read a little red New testament bible (KJV) and got saved and became a preacher of the gospel, the missionaries going to third world counties with their bible and God's message that Jesus saves, and others it makes me excited about the Power of the Word of God and the Holy Spirit who speaks to their heart. I realize the word of GOD has a built in promise, "it will not return void" or empty but accomplish that which it's set out to do.
Are we forgetting the Preaching of the gospel is the power of God unto salvation. The dying thief did not debate Christ, yet under Holy Spirit conviction, 'LORD remember me in paradise" Well, the other thief did debate and we know what that got him.
Help us LORD, to preach and proclaim the word of GOD in it's power and purity!!
Well, just thinking, if I had a place to preach tonight that would be my message, Well PTL!!
Truly, the story of Jesus will never, no never grow old!!
