Football!

Hello! Today i want to talk about College Football it is almost here. The long lines of traffic, the intensity, and most of all watching players play with PASSION! These kids that play the game play with an incredible amount of emotion and intensity! We as Christians are called to be Passionate people. Im looking for the non passive people when it comes to sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. In the new testament Followers like Paul, Peter, and John were passionate followers of Jesus. Man im in Awe! Paul reached out to the whole city of ephesus without internet, transportation, cell phones absolutely no technology. What could we do today if we had this kind of Passion and used the tools we have. We could reach the world in 1 week! You know ive over heard conversations of people saying i dont like a big church and the traffic is awful! Well you are going to hate heaven because its going to be huge, and we will complain about traffic at church but wait 2 hours in football traffic and its ok! How is that ok! We should praise God that there is traffic at church and if there is not we are not doing our part as a member of the body of christ to invite people. A very high percentage of people who have excepted christ since the message has been there simply done it because someone invited them to church. Will you get out of your comfort zone and invite them thats the challenge! For some it starts at home maybe your husband or close family for others your neighbor. I know you think to yourself ive invited them 100 times and they will not come don't give up on them! Praise God they did not give up on me. With Love Jason ,Go Clemson Tigers!!!

encouragement

Hello! Can you say WOW! I would like to share how things went in Greenville, SC today. Me and Chad an awesome friend of mine done meals on wheels from 10:00 to 11:00 that was fantastic, we talked to all kinds of people while doing that. We were able to minister to all those people who very rarely have company over or even family to come see them and that burdens me, so we give them a big smile and talked with them. That was just the start of what God had in mind for the Greenville community on July 7th. Let me say what im about to share with you we take no credit for it was all Jesus. We were just willing to be a vessel for the creator of all things and he worked through us today! OK now that im going to Brag on Jesus! We reached out to over 25 people today however they were few that actually wanted to talk. So we reached out sharing the gospel with them and 3 people ended up recieving christ, thats huge and fires me up!!! Not only did they except the perfect gift Jesus offered to them, one lady (who's name i will not share) had been prostituting and using drugs she had a look of death and pain in her eyes. she shared her story and i have to admit it bothered me. Then we ask her if she truly wanted to change and she cried out, Thats when Chad stepped up and prayed with her it was awesome just to see her crie out to God. She excepted christ, the look on her face after was full of joy and peace. She then said she was on her way to eat and rehab! We exchanged info and cant wait to check on her! Man Jesus was just getting started we made one stop right in the heart of the biggest drug infested and prostitution areas in South Carolina. We parked our truck got out and hit the streets once again shortly after we ran up on 5 people just sitting there with looks of sadness on there face. We listened to them and shared our story as well. Then something came over me so we prayed for them and 2 of them said the sinners prayer it was all i could do to hold it together. After that they were then my brothers in Christ and im thankful that. We will continue to check on them and offer help in anyway possible. I could go on and on and since this is already a long Blog entry i will wrap it up. I have one thing left to say God called us to be salt in a lost world ,salt makes people thirsty who have you made thirsty for Jesus lately! To Jesus Christ be the Glory and anytime God moves like this i will BRAG!! on him, he deserves it. Thanks for taking the time to read my long blog i hope your encouraged and at the same time challenged! with LOVE!! Jason

Life!!!

Hello! I just wanted to tell you a little bit about my day. Me and my wife went to Publix (were its a pleasure to shop!) . Something stuck out to me why we were shopping. The shampoo section for women, wow!!!! i never realized how many kinds they were. I pointed that out to my wife and her response was women need options! True and then i thought life gives us plenty of options are we just caught up in the motions. We are in jobs we cant stand to try to please people who dont care. Has the thought ever crossed your mind that there has got to be more than this! With most of 92% of this country in debt we struggle just to get by. This is true for large and small income families. We dont try to live on a financial level we can handle. We always try to buy more stuff to please people who really don't care what we have. Its true they don't!!!!When God created you in your Mothers womb he made you for a purpose and he has an awesome plan for your life. Do you know what that purpose is. Why not ask? He will show you what it is and its most likely something you would say to yourself i could never do that. The reality is when you put your FAITH!! and TRUST!! in Jesus Christ he will lead you in the right direction. Lets stop asking Oprah what to do and ask the creater of the universe! This is something i have struggled with. Im not just trying to challenge people out there it apply's to me as well. Im convinced if we focus on Gods plan and not our own we could change this nation in one generation! No more Debt! No more jobs we Hate! and a life we always dreamed of! I hope this challenges you!2nd Peter Chapter 1 verse 3 says. His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. (NIV) Have a great Day!
