Quote Of The Day And A Witnessing Tip

"Soul winning is the chief business of the Christian minister; indeed, it should be the main pursuit of every true believer. We should each say with Simon Peter, ‘I go a fishing,' and with Paul our aim should be, ‘That I might by all means save some.''

- Charles H. Spurgeon

Witnessing tip from Way of the Master:

What is the balance of assurance between salvation and examining oneself to see if he is in the faith?

Think of what you would do if you were wearing a parachute and waiting to jump out of a plane. You would have faith in the parachute, but you would also regularly check to make sure that the straps are firm. Once you have put on the Lord Jesus Christ through conversion (repentance and faith), you should regularly examine yourself to see how firm your relationship is with the Lord. Are you reading the Word daily? Do you have regular prayer? Are you fighting sin, or giving in to it? Are you living in holiness? Are you confessing sin? How is your relationship with other Christians? Is there any hidden bitterness against anyone? Are you sharing your faith? What is your greatest passion? Is it the Lord, or are material things more important? Do you love the world and the things in the world? On a scale of one to ten, how would you rate your walk with God? It should be a ten. If it's not, strive to make it a ten . . . and at the same time relax through trust in the integrity of the God who cannot lie (after all, He issued the parachute).
