True Love!

Good morning to all. I am going to be blogging about the power of Love. I think we could all agree Love is a very powerful thing. If you don’t think so I would tell you you’re a liar! Love is talked about all through the scriptures of the old and New Testament. The cross symbolizes just how much Love God has for you. I’m here to tell you today I don’t care how bad you think you are or how bad what you have done in your life may be. Jesus Christ loves you unconditionally! You see when he died on the cross he died for all the sins Past, Present, and Future. He new everything you were ever going to do and still he loves you! You know the one thing about street ministry and outreach that is the hardest is getting people to realize Jesus wants to help them and save them from the way they are living. The things I constantly here go a something like this. “Man I've done some horrible things and God would never help me or use me”. Or “Man I'm a prostitute or I sell drugs and God will not forgive me for all that”. Let me just set something straight right now both of these are lies from the pit of HELL! God can use anyone he is using me I have had the same struggles as some of these people. I had a drug addiction and alcohol problem, a Pornography addiction etc… He saved me he wiped all of that Junk away! God can use you I don’t care how messed up you may be! Now for another thing that drives me crazy. Some, notice I said some, Churches will not accept these types of people. Because they don’t have good clothes or maybe they stink and have not had a shower because they are homeless. They will not accept them because they are not in a nice car they may have walked to church. They don’t look like everyone else therefore they are not accepted! I don’t know about you but that does not sound like a Jesus filled church to me. It sounds like a Holy Huddle or should I say a Non- Holy Huddle. You see some not all churches make it all about them and they will listen to the teachings of Paul (YOU SHOULD BY THE WAY) and he was a murderer and about as far from God as anyone could be but they won’t open the doors to the lost who like Paul could be transformed and used in a mighty way for the Kingdom of God. This breaks my heart it really does! The reason I know about churches like this is I used to walk in unaccepted and looked down upon by them. Praise Jesus he led me to a Church where I now serve and accepted me the way Jesus did and Jesus worked in my life in a MIGHTY way. He took it all away He planted a Passion in me to reach out to the beat down busted and disgusted people within the upstate and with Jesus we can reach out in a MIGHTY way! We have been in Greenville SC now he is saying go to Anderson and Iva. We are not leaving Greenville we have more Passionate people willing to reach out in Dangerous areas. So Anderson and Iva here we come HELL is getting smaller and Gods Kingdom is already getting Bigger! You see the key element to what I’ve blogged about is LOVE! Are you showing Love to anyone today? How about the person you dislike the most, show them Love. You will be amazed at the results you will get by just showing Love to people the saved and the lost! 1 Peter chapter 4:8 tells us “Above all Love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins”. I want to challenge you to read 1 Peter chapter 3 and 4 today. It will rock your world I Love you Folks I’m out to do lunch with my Lovely Wife!
