Evangelism! Tonight was a good evening, because God allowed me to talk to a variety of folks ranging from those who had a church background to those that had none, to the proud, to the humble, and to some one involved in a cult, the yellow deli's (sp?), who was spreading his cult's poison by passing out their tracts.
The night began by handing out tracts and engaging folks in conversation if they were amiable. Three of those conversations really stood out to me this evening. One was a lady who was full of pride and self reliance in her own "goodness" to attain salvation, she mentioned that she had had a church background. So I got her permission to ask her a few questions to see how she would measure up to God's Standard, (The 10 Commandments). As I was going through the Law with her I noticed a change of her countenance to one of concern as she admitted her guilt. Her countenance began to changed again to one of resolution as she began to fall back on her works. She then stated she felt her own "good" works would be recognized by God and rewarded. I tried to converse with her, but she then got up and walked away. The second one was when the cultist (Yellow Deli (sp?)) tried to proselytize me. Well, as I attempted to converse with him he continuously twisted and perverted Scripture. So, I had to pull out my Two-Edged Sword and wield it. PRAISE GOD! However, he just kept up the constant peppering and jumping around to various Scriptures so that I finally latched on to one of his references and read the text within the context and tried to discuss it. As you can imagine he didn't like that and became irritated with me and walked away in a agitated state and hurried pace. As he walked away I left him a warning to repent and believe the Gospel for today is the day of salvation and should he not repent and believe on the Son the wrath of God will remain on him. As I was warning him I noticed his pace seemed to constantly quicken. The last conversation that stands out tonight was one with two older teenage guys. One didn't have any church background and the other had very little. As I took them through the Law you would've seen a very concerned expression on their faces that grew more solemn as we progressed. They admitted their guilt before a Holy and Righteous God and were very concerned with their spiritual state and their coming judgement of God's eternal wrath. I shared the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ with them. Please pray for these two guys and everyone that I spoke with tonight for God is sovereign and knows who they are and His word will not return void (Isaiah 55:11). Thank you.
