Exhortation

It's Testify Tuesday friends! That means we are going to Markville Mall tonight (5:40PM) to proclaim Christ to whoever will talk with us.

Those of you at Harvest Bible Chapel York Region heard this Sunday how it is by faith alone we are saved. Rom 4:11 talks about "a seal of the righteousness that he [Abraham] had by faith." Praise God that all we need to do is believe in the Lord Jesus and we shall be saved (Acts 16:31). Praise God we don't need to read the Bible, we don't need to pray, we don't need to evangelize, for it is by faith alone! Sola fide! But wait, why don't you read the Bible? If God has saved you, why aren't you listening to what He's telling you through His word. If God so loves you, why aren't you talking to Him in prayer? If God so commanded, why aren't you sharing the good news of Jesus Christ?

Brothers, sisters, in the name of Christ, wake up! "Faith apart from works is dead!" (James 2:26) Bathe in His rich word daily! Pray in the Spirit unceasingly. And evangelize to the whole world fervently! You don't have to do so at the mall, go to your family, your coworker. But please, do something... Pray also for us, that as we go tonight, words may be given us that we proclaim the gospel boldly, as we ought (Eph 6:19-20).

Dry bones, be dead no longer. Live! Live by faith, live in Christ.

Testimony

Last night was a good experience. The three of us went and were a bit tired at first and didn't want to be there. So we spent even more time in prayer at the beginning than we usually do. We spoke to these guys who actually admitted to being sinners deserving of Hell. We were also encouraged by the whole experience, that is how prayer uplifts a spirit that is not willing. We didn't see masses converting or anything like that, but we saw our own hearts get molded by God. And the gospel message did get out. So overall, tonight was a great success. :)
