OLD TIME RELIGION

Truth is unyielding and God’s church should not drift with the culture. Every generation has its criminal elements and vice. Our generation is willing to put the criminals in office and legalize the vice. The church must not draft the world’s drift. We believe in old time Bible religion.
• Hold fast the form of sound words…in faith and love (II Tim. 1:13).
• Hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end (Heb. 3:6).
• Hold fast the profession of your faith without wavering (Heb. 10:23).
• Hold fast until He comes (Rev. 2:25).

LOVING YOU & THE LOST

Compassion changes the way we see people. It is a movement of the heart—we are moved with compassion. It turns a problem into an opportunity to serve and elevates other people’s needs above our own convenience. Instead of putting others in their place, we put ourselves in their place.
• By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another (Jn. 13:35).
• And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh (Jude 22,23).

How do I get to heaven from here?

The Bible says it is possible to know for sure in this life that you will go to heaven—to KNOW that you have eternal life (I Jn. 5:13). That is GREAT news!

You probably have to give all your money to a church...right? Do the best you can? Keep the 10 Commandments? Get baptized? Be very sincere? Obey the golden rule? Be satisfied with yourself? Make sure your good works outweigh your bad ones? This is the path to heaven right? Not at all.

The Bible says, “Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified” (Gal. 2:16).

None of us will get to heaven on our own. If there had been a list of rules we could keep to go to heaven, God would have sent the rules instead of His own Son to die for our sins.

The Bible gives the road map in the book of Romans.
1) Admit you are a law-breaker
•For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God (Rom. 3:23)
•There is none righteous, no, not one. (Rom. 3:10)

No one is good enough to go to heaven on his own merit. No matter what good we do, we still fall short. We try and fail. We promise to be strong and then slip. We reform and then fall away.

What’s worse, we have intentionally broken God’s laws many times. It doesn’t require a great deal of honesty to admit that. We favorably compare ourselves to other people who are sinful like ourselves...”I’m better than that guy.” But God compares us to Jesus Christ and His word, the Bible. They are the yardsticks or standards we are judged against.

God’s word is the mirror that won’t lie and can’t be bought off. It shows us that we are not the people we would like others to think we are. We all fall short.

If you and I were in a contest to jump across the Grand Canyon, even if you out-jumped me, you would still fall short–and that would be to your death. We have displeased God greatly. We are law-breakers.

2) Realize you owe an eternal debt for sin
•For the wages of sin is death... (Rom. 6:23)
•Revelation 21:8 - But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

We owe a huge debt for the sins we have committed. It is an eternal debt. Sin has a price tag and there is punishment for wrong. The penalty for our sin is eternal death in a real place of fire called hell. Many people don’t want to believe that but God’s word declares it with great certainty referring to it directly over fifty times.

We are like people who, instead of having surgery, ask the doctor to retouch the x-ray. Denial of hell won’t keep me from going there. We need to accept responsibility for our choices and acknowledge that we have broken God’s law and do indeed deserve the penalty prescribed for sin.

3) Believe Christ Died for you
•For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Rom. 5:7,8)

I have nothing with which to pay my sin debt. I am spiritually bankrupt. I don’t have anything God wants. You say, “I’ll work hard and help people and live clean.” But even if you started right now and never sinned again and could live perfectly until death, you would still have your past sins to pay for.

The Bible says that even my best works are like old rags covered with excrement before God. Imagine trying to pay your mortgage with the gold, white, pink, and blue bills of Monopoly money. My good works are like that to God...counterfeit.

But here’s the GREAT news–God loves you! Jesus Christ, the sinless Son of God, showed His great love when He died on the cross to pay our sin debt and rose from the dead. He loves us in spite of sin and failure, in spite of unbelief and awful mistakes, in spite of blasphemy and wicked choices, in spite of pride and defiance.

Jesus died on the cross to pay our sin debt for us–in our place–as our substitute. God the Father will accept his death for our sins because Jesus had no sins of His own for which to pay. He gave Himself entirely on our behalf. That’s how much He loves us.

4) Trust Christ alone as your saviour now
•...But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Rom. 6:23)
•For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved (Rom. 10:13).

Everlasting life is a gift purchased by the blood of Jesus and offered freely to those who call upon Him by faith. Put another way, the fact that Jesus died on the cross will not get us to heaven. He offers a gift–it must be received by choice like every other gift you have ever known. Picture Him with His hand extended to you. In His hand is eternal life: forgiveness of all your sins, the price paid in full, your reservation in heaven, a right standing with God.

Call out to God from your heart by faith, “Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I repent of what I am and turn to you. Please forgive me. I am so sorry for offending you and breaking your laws. I believe you are the Son of God who died and rose again to pay for my sins. Please come into my heart, wash me clean from sin, and save my soul from hell. I’m trusting you, and you alone, to take me to heaven when I die. Amen!”

It is simple: repent, believe, receive. If you did that just now, please contact us so that we can rejoice with you and give you a free Bible.

Never Quit!

Out soul winning with my partner, I ran across a lady whose testimony of conversion went to a night when she knelt alone to receive Jesus Christ as her Savior in front of the television set after Billy Graham preached the gospel. That reminded me of a chain I had read about years ago that needed to be accurized.

158 years ago, a seventeen year old boy named Dwight, born to an alcoholic father, left home to seek employment at his uncle’s shoe store in Boston. His uncle required all of his employees to attend Mount Vernon Congregational Church. Dwight was disinterested but obedient. Fourteen months later, a faithful Sunday School teacher named Ed Kimball who had been encouraging Dwight along stopped by Holton’s Shoe Store during a business day and lead Dwight to Jesus Christ. Dwight would go on to become the famous evangelist DL Moody and see almost a million people come to Christ under his ministry.

Twenty-five years later, in 1879, a Lake Forest College ministerial student named J. Wilbur Chapman attended a Moody meeting in Chicago where the great evangelist counseled him to an assurance of his salvation from John 5:24. Chapman later became a friend and in 1893 joined Moody’s evangelistic crusades as a fellow preacher and hymn writer (One Day, Our Great Savior, ‘Tis Jesus, etc.).

Chapman hired a professional baseball player turned evangelistic assistant named Billy Sunday in 1893. Sunday had been saved only 5 or 6 years prior under the street preaching of Pacific Garden Mission evangelist Harry Monroe and turned down a lucrative contract with the Philadelphia Phillies to take an $83 per month job with the YMCA as a personal worker. Chapman hired Sunday as an “advance man” for his crusades and tutored him in his preaching: a very different style with the same straight-forward gospel message.

Billy Sunday held an evangelistic crusade in Charlotte, NC in 1924 from which a Christian businessman’s prayer group was begun. Ten years later, the Christian Businessmen’s Club brought the fiery, Billy-Sunday-styled Mordecai Hamm to town for a crusade. Hamm was a pastor’s son and an eighth generation preacher known for his sin-fighting, no-holds-barred preaching. In that crusade of November 1934, sixteen year old Billy Graham left the choir loft and walked the aisle of a packed, 5,000 seat temporary tabernacle on Pecan Avenue to accept Christ as his personal savior, along with 6,400 other North Carolinians before the crusade was finished.

Graham would leave his family’s Charlotte, dairy farm to preach to over 2.2 billion souls by way of radio and television and is attributed with 3.2 million conversions. One of those was a dear elderly lady in Roseburg, Oregon named Lura, whose door I knocked and who attended our church.

Stop and think about it Christian. Look at all of the links in the chain God used to bring the gospel to this dear, little lady—and there are many more than we know about. A Sunday School teacher (Kimball) led a shoe salesman (Moody) to Christ, who brought a college student (Chapman) to assurance, who hired a YMCA personal worker (Sunday), who spawned a prayer group (Christian Businessman’s Club), that organized a crusade and invited a fiery preacher (Hamm), who reached a teenager (Graham) with the gospel, who preached televised gospel sermons that convicted a woman (Lura) all alone in her house, that sat in our church. That’s at least eight links we know about over 150 years. Do you think each of those soul winners could foresee it?

The next time you get discouraged and feel that your efforts are pointless and unproductive, remind yourself that we will not know until heaven what became of the bread we cast upon the waters and that the gospel never returns void.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

NEVER QUIT!

Let’s hear it for the FAITHFUL MEN!

And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. (II Tim. 2:2)

It is far more common than it should be–pastors shocking their families, churches and friends with horrific news of catastrophic, moral failure. I believe Satan targets pastors and men in authority more than most and that is why we are commanded to pray for them (I Tim. 2:1-2).

While the normal, news-making corruption eruption usually occurs among priests, tele-pop-stars, and in the lives of men and women outside my circle of association, occasionally it hits close to home. I spend a lot of time each week strengthening and counseling ministry families. Often, the counselee is a person on their way into or out of a moral crisis, or the family member of someone who has exploded and left a damage path through their lives. Sometimes, it even ends in suicide.

Today I would like to focus on the vast majority of pastors and full-time workers in my friendship who have stayed true to their marriage vows, said “NO” to every affair opportunity, never stolen the church’s money, never molested a child, lived up to the scriptural qualifications for the office of pastor, and held the trust placed in them by their families and churches higher than their own fleshly desires to implode in office.

Thank you for not breaking our hearts and dragging the precious name of Jesus Christ through the mud before a lost world. We know not to place our ultimate confidence in man...any man. We know confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint. Thank you for being II Timothy 2:2 men–faithful men.

My pastor is in semi-retirement in his eighties. He would never claim to be sinless by any means. But in working closely with him for many, many years, I have never heard him lie, seen him misappropriate funds, felt he behaved sexually inappropriately with a man, woman or child, heard him curse, or felt he disqualified himself from office but wouldn’t step down. When he slipped or made mistakes, he admitted it and apologized.

Those statements would also be true among the host of pastors I call friends, preach for, and have watched minister God’s word for decades. I celebrated 40 years of ministry in May and counsel about 50-60 pastors and full-time Christian workers per year. My sample pool is large. Most of God’s men in my circle are holding the line and keeping their integrity. Thank God for faithful men!

Here are some suggestions to help a ministry couple live faithfully:
1. Work at building a happy, romantic life. Usually, that means a talk time each day, a romantic date alone each week, and a happily, active marriage bed.

2. Become accountability partners. There should be no password secrets on the computer or cell phone and a freedom to ask any question when something makes the other feel uncomfortable.

3. Pray in bed together the last thing of each day. You see your mate’s soul in a way you don’t otherwise when they sincerely pray to God .

4. Keep your walk with God consistent and fresh. While lonely people are the one’s you tend to think of first, I have found three other classes of people more susceptible to sexual temptation: prideful people, angry people, and discouraged people. Be sure you walk close to the Lord and deal with pride, anger and discouragement scripturally.

In addition, keep a special watch if you were sexually molested as a child. That past can come back as unexpected sexual excess in adult life.

5. If you are having troubles, ask for help before you pass a point of no return. Pastors are the last people to seek help because they feel they shouldn’t need it. More than your job is on the line.

So, thank God for men who practice what they preach. My greatest desire in this life is to finish my course, look my Savior in the eyes and hear him say, “Well done thou good and faithful servant.” Let's all of us run to the tape!
