WAY OF THE MASTER MINUTE

Do you care about the lost? Then think of yourself as a doctor who has a patient with a terminal disease. He must be treated immediately or he will die. You have a cure for him. So, what are you going to do-chat about the weather? No. Your focus is on the cure you have for him. You therefore swing the conversation the way you want it to go. You lovingly and deliberately take control. This is what Jesus did in John chapter 4. He went from water to God. You could swing to the things of God by offering a tract and saying, "It's a Gospel tract. Have you had a Christian background?" Or you could gently ask, "Do you ever think about what's going to happen to you after you die?" Whatever you do, do something... and do it today. There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.

CHRISTIANS ~ By Maya Angelou

When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'." I'm whispering "I was l ost, Now I'm found and forgiven." When I say... "I am a Christian" I don't speak of this with pride. I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide. When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not trying to be strong. I'm professing that I'm weak And need His strength to carry on. When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not bragging of success. I'm admitting I have failed And need God to clean my mess. When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not claiming to be perfect, My flaws are far too visible But, God believes I am worth it. When I say... "I am a Christian" I still feel the sting of pain. I have my share of heartaches So I call upon His name. When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not holier than thou, I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow! Share this with somebody who already has this understanding, as reinforcement. But more importantly, s hare t h is with those who do not have a clear understanding of what it means to be a Christian, so that the myth that Christians think they are "perfect" or "better than others" can be dispelled.

THE LAW OF THE LORD

"The Law of the Lord is perfect converting the soul" according to Psalm 19! Just what does this mean? When we understand with the apostle Paul that by the Law is the knowledge of sin, we become aware that the lawful use of the 10 commandments (the Law of the Lord) is very biblical. Especially in relation to the conversion of the soul. Paul says " I had not known sin, except the law of God show me" The church for so long has been offering the world the cure when in fact, it doesn't even see that it has the disease. It is the law of the Lord that makes the simple wise, and shows sin to be, as Paul put it, exceedingly sinful. This can be likened to the terminally ill man who goes to the doctor . He does not know how sick he is until the doc takes the time to visit with him in his office to disclose the seriousness of the man's condition. The doctor shows him the x-rays, blood tests, etc so the sick man gets the picture. i.e. that if no cure is available, he doesn't have long to live. The doc tells him there is , in fact, a cure. How long do you think it takes the sick man to lay hold of the cure? See the principle as it applies to the goodnews of the gospel! Doesn't this make sense? Here is a vid showing the convicting power of the law of the Lord as it sets the stage for the Grace of God.
