Deny Yourself Daily: The Great Privilege

The Great Privilege

This is one of the best sermons I have ever heard....and I don't say that lightly. I have watched it 4 times in the last week because it is just that powerful. I posted a ten minute clip of it a week or two ago, but this is the entire sermon. I pray that we will listen and take heed to this message.

"I don't need to be a prophet or a son of a prophet to know what your God is, I only have to watch your life. When Jesus Christ is just something you do at the beginning of the week, but yet throughout your life you are a practical atheist, I know who your God is and it is not the one who is the One true God. When you have just enough Christianity to make you moral and comfortable in the south, I know who your God is. If I could look into your mind to see what occupies your mind I will know what your God is."
-Paul Washer

This blog was made for one reason: to bring glory to the Kingdom of God. In a world where the truth has been exchanged for a lie, I'm here to contend for Biblical truth and to get the word out about the one true Gospel of Jesus Christ. Nothing fancy, just a way to share beliefs on Biblical Christianity and to provide a sound source for people out there hungry for the truth, not just another vain and empty worldview.

In order for us to understand the Good News of the Gospel we must first understand the bad news: we are born separated from God and dead in our trespasses of sin. Anyone who has broken just ONE of God's laws is guilty and deserving of an eternal death. There is nothing that we can do to "help ourselves" out of this, it must take an act of God. It is Christ alone who rescues a sinner's heart and transforms it into a new one that desire's to know God, therefore it is Christ alone who gets the glory. This work of salvation is a gift from the Lord and comes by humbling yourself before Him and repenting of your sins and believing on Christ's substitution death on the cross. Those receiving God's free gift of grace are forgiven of their sins and are chosen to live a life here on earth as well as for all eternity with the Lord. WHAT GREAT NEWS! Unfortunatly many professing Christian's have taken on the name and have forgotten to "count the cost" of what it means to be a true follower of Christ. It is important that we search the scriptures to uncover the true Gospel so we can learn about the life of self-denial that we have been called to live.
