Romans 3:23

Hey everyone:

I hope you have been trying to memorize our verse from last week.  Romans 3:10.  If not, please do.  Its always amazing to me how many people and churches want to see a revival in America and some will pray for laborers, but very few want to be the laborers.  If you saw a blind man about to walk off the edge of the grand canyon, would you try to stop him, or would you pray that God would send someone to reach out to him and let him know he is about to plummet to his death?

That analogy fits every Christian who prays for revival and laborers but isn't willing to lift a finger to help sinners see that they are going to spend eternity in hell if they don't accept Jesus Christ and follow Him.  Do you believe in hell?  Do you really believe in hell?  Then act like it.  I'm not going to apologize for being so strict.  I think that part of the problem in our churches today is most don't preach on Hell.  They don't want to offend anyone.  I wonder what it would be like to be saved, standing in front of the great white throne on judgment day, praising God as your son or daughter, grandmother or grandfather, wife or husband, brother or sister, neighbor or co-worker are being cast into hell by God's angels?

Romans 3:23  For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God

I use the topic, "Everyone's sinned" then say the book, chapter and verse number, Romans 3:23 then the verse then repeat the book, chapter and verse number.  So last week we had, "Nobodies righteous" and this week the topic is, "Everyone's sinned"!
Nobody is righteous in the eyes of God because everyone has sinned and we have come short of God's holiness.  God can't be around unholy anything and that is why He sent His son to die for us so that His blood on the cross would cover our unholiness, be the sacrifice for sin that gives us access to the throne of grace.  That is how much God loves us.  John 3:16, For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believes in Him, should not perish, but have eternal life.

Study and memorize these verses.  They are short simple verses and with just a little bit of memorization techniques everyday, you can acquire another tool for the ole' Gospel toolbox.

I'm praying for you, please pray for me.

In Christ,
Brother Bill
