STREET PREACHING IN HAYWOOD COUNTY,NC

I WAS HONORED TO HAVE BEEN ALLOWED BY GOD TO TAKE TO THE STREETS OF HAYWOOD COUNTY, NC TODAY. GOD PAVED THE WAY FOR THE GOSPEL AND MANY HEARTS WERE TOUCHED. IN THE PICTURES TO THE RIGHT ARE MYSELF AND BRO. JOSHUA MCELRATH IN TWO DIFFERENT CITIES(WAYNESVILLE AND CANTON). WE RAN INTO OPPOSITION EARLY IN THE TRIP WHEN THE MANAGER OF BEST BUY TRIED TO VIOLATE OUR 1ST AMENDMENT RIGHT TO PREACH AND HOLD SCRIPTURE SIGNS ON A PUBLIC SIDE WALK. HE WAS ANGRY, COWARDLY AND OBVIOUSLY CONVICTED BY WHAT WE WERE DOING SO HE THEN CALLED THE POLICE. GOD BE THANKED,THE WAYNESVILLE PD UPHELD OUR RIGHTS AS AMERICANS AND CHRISTIANS! THE MANAGER THEN TRIED TO HAVE OUR TRUCK TOWED AND WE WERE FORCED TO MOVE IT , BUT WE STAYED TO PRESENT THE GOSPEL UNTIL GOD SAID TO LEAVE. MY THANKS TO WPD FOR THEIR COOPERATION AND SUPPORT AS WE TRY TO REACH THE LOST IN OUR TOWNS AND IN OTHERS. MY SINCEREST THANKS ALSO TO BRO. MCELRATH FOR HIS WILLINGNESS TO GET OUT ON THE STREETS AND FULFIL THE GREAT COMMISSION.

WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED......COULD SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME!

SO MANY ARE CONFUSED AS TO THE WAY OF SALVATION. THIS FACTION SAYS YOU MUST BE BAPTIZED(AND BY ONE OF THEIR OWN), TO BE SAVED. ANOTHER SAYS YOU MUST CONFESS YOUR SINS TO THE CLERGY OF THEIR CHOOSING. WHILE THE GREATEST PLAGUE OF THE HOUR SAYS THAT ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS : SIGN A CARD, SHAKE A HAND, JOIN A CHURCH AND "DECIDE" TO FOLLOW JESUS. HOWEVER ,I'M WRITING TO YOU PRECIOUS SINNER, A LINE OF TRUTH CAN BE DRAWN THROUGH THE AGES ,EVEN BACK TO THE LORD HIMSELF, WHICH SAYS" REPENT YE ,AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL" -MK 1:15. IT IS NOT 2 SEPARATE WAYS TO HEAVEN AS SOME BELIEVE, BUT 2 SIDES OF THE COIN OF SALVATION! REPENTANCE IS THE HEART FELT HATRED OF SIN AND SELF, TAKINGS SIDES WITH GOD AGAINST YOURSELF AND TRULY MOURNING OVER SIN WITH THE HEART. THUS IT PREPARES THE HEART TO BELIEVE THE GOSPEL-THAT CHRIST JESUS CAME TO SAVE THAT WHICH WAS LOST! YOU SEE GOD ONLY SAVES SINNERS! UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO TAKE YOUR RIGHTFUL PLACE AS A CONDEMNED MAN AT THE FEET OF YOUR RIGHTEOUS JUDGE, GOD WILL NOT SAVE YOU! BUT PRAISE BE TO GOD, IF YOU REALLY GET SERIOUS ABOUT FINDING GOD, HE WILL BE FOUND! Deuteronomy 4:29 (KJV) 29 But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.

CONVERSION vs. PERVERSION

IN ACTS 3:19 WHEN PETER DECLARES TO SINFUL MEN THAT THEY SHOULD "REPENT AND BE CONVERTED", HE HAD A CONCEPT OF WHAT TRUE REPENTANCE PRODUCES IN THE LIVES OF SINNERS. THE IDEA OF ONE HAVING BEEN SAVED AND YET REMAINING A REBEL TO GOD WAS UTTERLY FOREIGN TO PETER AND TO ALL THE OTHER APOSTLES. IN II COR 5:17 PAUL DECLARED EMPHATICALLY THAT SALVATION PRODUCES A NEW CREATION! THE MODERN DAY RELIGIOUS IDEOLOGY SAYS THAT SINNERS CAN "DECIDE" THAT THEY WANT TO GO TO HEAVEN AND CONDUCT THEMSELVES LIKE THEY LIVE ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF HELL! NOTHING COULD BE MORE ANTI-BIBLE, ANTI-GOD AND ANTI-CONVERSION! THE JACK HYLES WAY OF "SOUL WINNING" HAS PRODUCED A GENERATION OF BAPTIST BASTARDS THAT HAVE NO REAL LIFE IN THEIR SOUL! WE CAN APOLOGIZE FOR THEM AND SAY "THEY JUST DON'T KNOW ANY BETTER" ALL WE WANT TO, BUT THE TRUTH IS THEY DO KNOW BETTER! THEY HAVE A BIBLE THAT TEACHES BETTER! IF THEY ARE SAVED THEMSELVES THEY HAVE A HOLY GHOST THAT TEACHES THEM BETTER! THE TRUTH IS THAT YOU MUST FORSAKE SIN IN ORDER FOR GOD TO SAVE YOU. WELL THAT IS LEGALISM THEY SAY, NOT SO! IT IS GRACE THAT GIVE US STRENGTH TO REPENT! IT IS A WORK OF GRACE, FROM THE FIRST TO THE LAST! THAT'S CALVINISM THEY SAY, NO IT IS THE SALVATION OF THE BIBLE! IT IS THE SALVATION THAT I HAVE, THAT I PREACH, THAT CHRIST PREACHED! WHAT OF THE COUNTLESS MULTITUDES THAT CLAIM THE NAME OF JESUS AND LIVE IN HABITUAL INIQUITY........MY FRIEND THEY ARE LOST. THAT IS NOT JUDGMENT, BUT DISCERNMENT. GOD HELP US TO REALLY EVANGELIZE THE LOST! NOT TO PAD STATISTICS, BUT TO SEE THEIR LIVE CHANGED FOR THE GLORY OF OUR LORD!
