Am I a Soldier of the Cross

"Am I a soldier of the cross, a follower of the Lamb? And shall I fear to own His cause, or blush to speak His name?" Isaac Watts posed these questions to believers almost 350 years ago. The same questions must be asked today. We are in a war. God has called us to fight for the hearts and souls of men. I pray that what is said here will prove to be an encouragement and a challenge to every believer who visits this site. Let our cry be the last verse of the old song. "Sure I must fight if I would reign- increase my courage Lord! I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, supported by Thy Word!"

His Job...Not Ours

    I just wanted take a moment a quickly share something that happened to me the other day. I was meeting up with some people and two of my friends showed up with a guy I had never me before. One of my friends was debating with him creation vs. evolution, and we all kind of got in on it. It got to the point where he wasn't really able to answer questions about how life could begin without design, foundations for morals, and things like that, but he would not budge from his position. For starters please pray for this young man.     As a side note, I was reminded something that is easy to forget. There are many different organizations mobilized to help equip believers to defend their faith scientifically, logically, philosophically, etc. These organizations are great and are doing a great work, but at the end of the day, we cannot win someone to Christ by our arguments alone. Without the conviction of the Holy Spirit, no amount of scientific evidence will win someone to Christ. Many scriptures indivisibly link the Holy Spirit to the process of salvation. A few of these are 1 Cor. 6:11; John 3:5; Tit. 3:5; and John 16:7-8. The conviction of the Holy Spirit brings the "godly sorrow [that] worketh repentance" (2 Cor. 7:10). I just thought I would share that with you.

    I am reviewing a good book from Apologia right now called I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheiest. Good read, I highly recommend it. The workbook with it is good too! I would like to give the book to several unbelievers I know! Joining you in prayer for this young man, that the Lord will open his eyes to the truth.

    Glad to see you posting again, we have missed you!
