No one has to be sexually immoral ever again. No one has to be a drunkard, or a swindler, or a homosexual ever again. "You were washed." The slavery of sin was broken by the cleansing of Christ. And that's good news to deliver, like when I was trying to be friendly to a little child.<br /><br />But the Good News has to be delivered from across from the person, not above the person. See, most of us don't realize we have to come down to their level. Not to do what they do, but to let them know that this is a sinner who's talking to them; a sinner just as in need of saving. And I'm just talking to a sinner in need of saving. I said to this girl, "Have you ever been greedy?" She said, "Oh, yeah." I said, "Have you ever said anything bad about anyone, slandered anyone?" "Well, I guess." "Have you ever let anything be more important than God is?" "Well, yeah." "Well, see, that's idolatry. We're all in this list. We're on the same list as the sexual immoral." You see, often the one that we're trying to reach feels condemned by our presence.<br /><br />A person tends to back off like a child retreating from that intimidating adult. That may be how they feel. But that's not how they should feel. "I'm a beggar. You're a beggar. I just happen to be a beggar who found bread."<br /><br />I want to tell you where I found it. I must never forget that I am a sinner, still desperately in need of what Christ did on the cross. I heard a song recently that said, "Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future." I like that!<br /><br />When I remember who I am, I'll come in on their level. And maybe they'll be willing to listen to a fellow sinner who has found a Savior, who changes what you were into what you can be. And then I won't be a scary giant.<br /><br /> <br />To find out how you can begin a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, please visit: Yours for Life or call 1-888-966-7325.<br /><br />"A Word With You" by Ron HutchcraftThought Humorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441517904230432368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1544422258420242952.post-47944888776572273322011-06-30T12:42:47.783-03:002011-06-30T12:42:47.783-03:00Over the years, I've learned a few lessons abo...Over the years, I've learned a few lessons about how to meet a little child for the first time and how not to. I used to stand there all big and adult and come on real enthusiastic, "Hey, how you doing, Billy?" Well, at that point the child promptly turned his head and disappeared somewhere in his mother's leg.<br /><br />Have you ever seen that happen? I think I scared him to death! When you're only knee high, and an adult reaches down to you, especially as enthusiastically as I did, it probably looks like Goliath reaching for David.<br /><br />But I'm getting a little smarter in my old age. Now I sort of squat down or I kneel down; get down where he is and look that little guy in the eye and I talk gently, not real loud. I come on soft instead of strong. And believe it or not, I get some smiles and hand shakes back from little Billy. Even big folks respond better to that kind of treatment.<br /><br />I was at a conference some years ago and a young woman asked me how she could get through to her boss with the Good News about Jesus Christ. The hurdle was that her boss was a homosexual, and he was very guarded when the subject of Jesus came up. And it was further complicated by the fact that this girl is like the picture of innocence. She's the model girl in her youth group, very wholesome looking, doesn't even attend a public school or a Christian school. She's being home schooled as a 16-year-old girl. I showed her the Good News that she has for her boss, and in the process, a little something about herself too.<br /><br />Our word for today from the Word of God is from 1 Corinthians 6, beginning at verse 9: "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the Kingdom of God?" Who are those folks? Well, "Do not be deceived, neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, or homosexual offenders, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor swindlers will inherit the Kingdom of God." That's bad news!<br /><br />(Continued Below!)Thought Humorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441517904230432368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1544422258420242952.post-76305039873367340272011-06-30T12:40:46.602-03:002011-06-30T12:40:46.602-03:00"Let every student be plainly instructed
