Don't let the blood of lost people be on your hands.

Another GREAT statement by someone in the Bible, can you make it?

PLEASE keep Celeste in your daily prayers. She and I need it right now.
"I am pure from the blood of all men" Acts 20:26. This is a result of Ez 3:18. "When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die and thou givest him not warning, his blood will I require at thine hand".We really are to "preach the gospel to EVERY creature" Mk 16:15. God is saying, "Don't let him die and go to hell without giving him the gospel, You know how to Keep from going to hell and if you do not tell him, "his blood will I require at your hand. THAT IS AWESOME.

Paul is the only one I believe could have said that. I surely could not and I don't personally know anyone who could. BUT if we believe God, and that lost persons blood will be on our hand, it should make us live differently. We could change the world in a few short years. The tragedy is that most Christians don't even try to give the gospel to anyone.

This week I went into a store. The clerk was a very attractive and intelligent looking lady. After I shared the gospel with her she said she thought she was going to heaven because she had never hurt anyone. When I asked if she had ever lied, or stolen anything etc. she completely denied it. Guess what I did, I left her alone. God says "shake the dust off your feet." Remember, the Holy Spirit is to do the convicting, NOT YOU. I planted the seed and now I look for another person who is ready to hear the gospel. You and I cannot convict nor convince nor convert them. We are to GIVE THE GOSPEL TO EVERYONE POSSIBLE. If he is leaving them alone, I might as well too and give the gospel to others and find those God is working on. Make sense? Ifindit works very well. BUT, if we do not try, their blood will be on our hand. THINK SERIOUSLY ABOUT THAT. ABC Sumner

DAILY I keep fired up by giving people a "ticket to heaven" and see God working.

Look where we have come to

Most of the great universities such as Harvard, Yale, Princeton were founded and taught by God fearing Pastors and people. I have read many of their constitutions and all said they were founded for the glory of God and the prorpogations of the gospel of Christ.

 

Most "rescue" missions were founded to reach and win men and women to Christ. They attracted the people through feeding and sleeping them. I have preached in dozens of mission. One of my favorite places to minister. My whole family spent all of one Christmas day in the great Pacific Garden Mission in Chicago eating with the people and preaching 5 times that day and loved it.

 

The Salvation Army, the YMCA and YWCA were founded as a Christian organization also to win people to Christ through their means.

 

The Baptist Hospitals, Methodist Hospitals, Presbyterian Hospitals were all founded not just to minister to people physically but as a means to minister spiritually. On and On we could go.

 

The truth is now, you can not put up tract racks in them to try to win people to Christ. I have tried. Many of course have Chaplains and most do not witness to win people to Christ. I have been there too many times and no one tried to win me to Christ. I have the thrillof life to win many nurses to Christ in the hospitals. What happened to these wonderful institutions. They went from a spiritual ministry to a social ministry and left their primary purpose. Of course, not all of them but most of them. Have you tried to give out tracts in some of these places. I have and been told, we are not supposed to do that for we offend other religions.

 

Now, the same happens in churches. Liberal churches all over America never preach against sin nor the positive of preaching the gospel how Christ suffered and died for our sins and rose again. Prosperity theology where every one is told how to live prosperously. is a prime subject in some of the largest churches. No gospel No preaching how the Lord Jesus suffered and died for sins, rose again and was seen by hundreds.

Christianity is banned from public schools, sports events but a singer can bare her breasts and the crowd goes wild cheering her on.

 

My wife is very ill right now and you should hear most tell her we are thinking about you, you are in our thoughts and this by professed Christians. Lets give the gospel to people, lets pray for people not think about them. "Blessed in the nation whose God is the Lord" We were one of those nations and now we are turning our backs on what made us the wonderful, prosperous, loving nation in the world. GOD HELP US. Lets get back to God before it is too late, if it is not already too late. make sense? I know. I have only scratched the surface. All Because of Calvary, Sumner and Celeste

The secret to an evangelist's great ministry. POWERFUL

Celeste is not doing well and we need wisdom to know what to do. PRAY, PRAY!

 

Jesse Hendly was a powerful and prominent pastor and evangelist some fifty years ago. I heard so many phenomenal stories of how God used him. Celeste and I went to a Bible conference and met about six couples from Colonial Hills Baptist Church just outside Atlanta GA. One couple became very close friends, Price and Willis Horton. Price was probably Jesse's right hand man.

Every time we were with them, I would pump Price to find out what it was about Jesse that God used him so greatly. Thousands were saved under Jesse's ministry. Price would get exasperated with me and kept saying, "I don't know, God just used used him. Jesse was a fabulous teacher of the Bible. He taught his people Greek and they knew the Bible better than any other Christians we knew.

 

One evening, we had just had a big steak cook out in their mansion of a home and were just fellowshipping and was it rich. Once again as we talked about Jesse who was then in heaven, I asked Price, a very successful businessman, very well to do, What did Jesse do, what was the key to seeing God use him so much. Price, was almost fed up with me blurted out, "I don't know Wemp, all I know is that Jesse was madly in love with Jesus" and heaven came down in that room. We all sat there weeping for that was the key and we knew it. That was one of the greatest moments of all of my life.

 

Dear people, that is the key, the main key to being used of God, JUST STAY MADLY IN LOVE WITH JESUS. Do you love Jesus like that? Everyone who gets saved probably loved Him like that at first. Too many of us have left our first love" Rev 2. "Return and do the first works" and see that love restored. ABC Sumner
