This is Hans Scheil from the Finishing Well podcast. On Finishing Well, we help you make godly choices about Medicare, long-term care, and your money. Your chosen Truth Network podcast is starting in just seconds. Enjoy it. Share it.
But most of all, thank you for listening and choosing the truth. Podcast Network. This is the Truth Network. Welcome to If Not Forgot. Stories of hopelessness that turn to hope.
Here is your host, Mike Zwick.
Well, hey, this is Mike Zwick. I am with the owner of the Truth Network, and his name is Stu Epperson. Stu Epperson Jr. That's right. And Stu, there has been something that has really been on my mind lately, and it has been this idea that people have been running with.
And it's universalism, universal reconciliation, and even to a lesser extent, I would say annihilation or annihilationism, where it is really a dangerous, dangerous doctrine. To me, that really kills evangelism. And so, this is actually something that you actually debated with a guy named Carlton Pierce. It wasn't really that hard in the preparation. Honestly, friends, to deal with, everyone talks about: well, how do you deal with Joe's Witnesses?
How do you deal with Mormons? How do you deal with false doctrines, false beliefs? Let me tell you how: you study the Bible, you read the Bible, you memorize the Bible, you meditate on the Bible, you sit under sound Bible teaching. I had coffee today with a guy. He's not plugged into a church.
He's not hearing the word. And I keep saying, turn on the truth network. Just listen to those sermons. Sponge them in. And go to church on Sunday, not because you're checking a box.
So I'm a good Southern Christian and I went to church. You know, I'm part of the tradition. No. Go to church to be fed the word. Go to a church where your pastor feeds you the word.
He doesn't just wake up in the morning and say, Okay, God, give me something for today and get up. No, he studies 1 Peter 5, 1 through 7, for example. And he goes verse by verse. What does the Bible say? Observation.
What does the Bible mean by what it says? Interpretation. What does the Bible mean to me? Application. That's Bible study.
It's also called hermeneutics, which is the art of Bible interpretation.
So if you're not plugged into a church that's feeding you the word, if you walk out starving on Sunday, go to a church that feeds you the word. Because TED Talks from the pulpit are producing spiritual illiteracy in the pews, and it's damnable, it's horrible. Pastors, your people are starving.
So, study the word and teach them the word.
Well, I gotta jazz it up. This Sunday is gonna be Star Wars Sunday. We're not the force. You don't really have to. I mean, if you wanna do that, fine.
Be winsome, be creative, be clever. But here's the thought, Pastor. Open the Bible. To 1 Peter 1, verse 1, is just start teaching through the Bible and let the Bible do the work. God gave you a word.
So don't go tell me, I believe this is the authoritative sword of the Spirit that pierces even the dividing asunder of soul and spirit. Hebrews 4:12. Don't tell me that when you open it, you read a verse and you close and say, Now, let me tell you what, God, let me tell you about all these people. Let me give you a really good analogy and a really good story and anecdote. And we don't need comedian pastor.
We don't need psychologist pastor. We don't need CEO pastor, TED Talk pastor. We need a pastor who faithfully brings God's word. Yes, incorporate real life. Talk about your life, what God's done in you through His Word.
But people are starving. And so I took that, I exited off.
Now we're going to get back on, Michael, with this issue of universalism. As you study God's Word, you notice some things that are universal, like the proclamation of the gospel. It's universal. We're to give the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15.
We're to proclaim the gospel. We're to preach the gospel everywhere we go to everyone we know and everyone we don't know. But when it comes to salvation, Only those who put their faith in Jesus Christ are saved. And those who don't are damned. 1 John, you know, John 3:17.
John 3:18. They're condemned already because they have not believed in the name of the Son of God.
So it's really crystal clear. But people like the gentleman you mentioned that you debate, you talk to, Because they had maybe someone in their family that died outside of Christ. They're like, well, I can't believe that a loving God would cause them to burn in hell forever. You know, so then what suddenly now we come up with our theology. based on meology.
Right. Based on kind of what I feel. It's emotional. It's emotional, yeah. This has happened with the, with the, sadly, with the gender issue, the homosexual issue.
Well, I had a kid that went this way, so how could God hate my kid?
Well, first of all, God's calling your kid to salvation. And he needs the Lord just like you need the Lord. But because this tragedy, or because someone became a prodigal in your family, doesn't change what the Word of God says. It doesn't change the bedrock truth of God. He created them, male and female, in His image.
So when you go against when you're bringing up gender, You're not attacking some cultural norm or some more that has been popular in the church for decades. No, you're attacking the image of God because this is how He made them in His image, male and female. He created them.
Well, that's Leviticus. No, that's Genesis. That's before even the Levitical law.
So, but it's understanding what God's word says, and that's why I want to challenge you. in debating and talking to someone who's a universalist or an annihilationist. or wherever they fall in that you know that linear Get grounded in God's Word, and you'll have a framework. to deal with all that stuff. You know?
Yeah, and and I think a lot of it is kind of like you said, Stu. A lot of it, I do believe, is emotional. But when I read the Bible, when I look at it, I'm looking at Matthew 25:46 right now, and it says, And these will go away into evil. eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.
So, Revelation 14:11, and the verse describes the smoke of their torment, which is rising up forever and ever, with no rest day or night, for those who worship the beast. Revelation 20, verse 10, this verse states that the devil will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
Well, some of these universalists or the people who believe in universal reconciliation, they believe that even the devil someday is going to get saved.
Well, I don't, how do you read that verse and look at that? Revelation 20:15, the verse speaks of anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life being thrown into the lake of fire. Isaiah 66:24, this verse describes the wicked being consumed by a fire that will not be quenched, and their worm will not die. And I'll give you a couple of examples without mentioning any names. There's a guy that I know who always believed the Bible, he believed these verses just like they were.
And what happened to this guy? I believe he had a son who kind of fell away. Kind of like you were saying before, Stu. He had a son who fell away. And he said, when his son fell away, what happened was, he ended up, he decided to say, okay, I can't take this anymore.
And I could tell it was driving the guy crazy that he felt like his son was lost and his son was going to hell. And he said, so eventually he started moving down this route of, well, I guess you just die and you cease to exist or that's it. Or I guess eventually everyone's going to heaven and that's it. And so now he feels better about himself. When Jesus was out there, he did not come just to make people feel better about himself, better about themselves.
What I saw Jesus do was he confronted people. He told them what was wrong. And Stu, I believe that the reason that he. confronted people. I believe that the reason he confronted people was because he loved people and he didn't want to see anybody perish.
But see, if I believe that eventually people are going to heaven, it's not going to want to make me take those uncomfortable decisions of going out and sharing the gospel with a stranger. What do you think?
Well, and I'll tell you what I told Carlton Pearson, who, by the way, the listeners called in and were masterful. I mean, they were great. They, they. did an amazing job in talking talking to him and Uh even better than I did. But I basically said, well, Carlton, let's call the missionaries home.
Why do we need missionaries? Mm-hmm. If everyone gets saved or everyone just kind of goes away and sleeps and they're gone in annihilationism, we don't need missionaries. It turns missiology upside down, or basically. it it ends all missiological teaching in the church today.
And so everything you just said is spot on. When the Bible talks about heaven and its eternal nature, and the new heaven and the new earth. And the the infinity of that. At the same time There is an absolute Teaching in scripture that is clear. And he uses the same words, the same Greek language to describe hell.
And because You know, because there's Different, you know, because there's Hades. And you have the parable of Lazarus and the rich man. There's Abraham's bosom because there's the second death, and there's a lake of fire, and then there's hell, and there's the dragon. Because there's all these euphemistic, you know. Linguistics used in the Bible, it does not, you know, what the cults do is they cling to those things.
Mm-hmm. They cling to, well, Jesus is praying on the cross.
Well, who's he talking to?
Well, if he's talking to God, then he's not God.
Well, he's every much God is God. He's the Son of God, He's God the Son. And cults can't believe that. They have to deny the deity of Christ. But if you don't have a God-man, then you have no one who can save your sins.
Because only God can be holy, only God can be perfect, only God receives worship. Jesus received worship. He didn't say, like the angel in Revelation 21: stand up, don't worship me. He received worship from all kinds, from young and old. Because he is very God of God.
So the cults grab these things and then they twist the scriptures. And then, in some cases, like the Jehovah's Witness, they have their own Bible. They won't list their scholars in their Bible, interestingly enough. Everyone in the King James Bible and everyone in the ESV, there is a list of scholars in the very front. You can check every one of them out.
Check out their DDs. Check out their linguistics background. Check out all their accomplishments. Check out their academic. Prowess, check out what the pedigree that gave them the great knowledge to properly.
Interpret and probably translate what we have as the Old Testament and the New Testament. But the New World Translation Which is what the Jehovah's Witness used, it's not a Bible. They won't list any of their scholars because none of them had any of this background. They were all just followers of Charles Taze Russell, who was a false prophet.
Okay? Who all who believes in annihilationalism and other false doctrines? And the 144,000, they take that everywhere. But at the end of the day, They deny and then they take and they twist key verses in Colossians 1, in John 1:1. They say, In the beginning was the word, the word was with God, the word was.
A God. They won't say the word was God. See, they add a participle that's not in the Greek language. And they do that in multiple places. They forgot to change Hebrews chapter 1, which clearly says Christ is the resplendent glory of Almighty God.
So, anyway, but there's a pattern like that. That's why you've got to get in the word. Get get embedded in and indoctrinated in the truth And honestly, connect with other brothers and sisters in Christ.
So, when you run into a crisis of faith, they're there to help encourage you and pick you up and ask the tough questions. There's nothing wrong with asking the tough questions. Right. You know, but have the framework and have the grounding.
so that you are uh you're not going to be pulled into the fire. And then be willing to go after those that are deceived. And bring them to the truth, to the light. You know, we're just beggars trying to show other beggars where they can find bread. It's not I'm better smarter than you.
You never won an argument, by the way. You know, God didn't call us to win arguments, He called us to win souls. You know, Mike, I'm gonna let you jump on that.
Well, and yeah, the truth is, is that a lot of it is, and I understand the emotionalism. There was a lady that I met. It was at our swimming pool. And if you're listening now, Jesus loves you, but she did missionary work with her husband over in India. And they had all these children, and she followed the Lord Jesus Christ for a lot of her life.
And so what ended up happening was this. Her daughter ended up saying, no, I'm really a man. And she became a trans man, so to speak. And because her daughter made that decision, now she no longer believes that the Bible is the inspired word of God. And so was it anything logical that changed?
No, it was something emotional. Yes, there are tough things that happen in our lives. Why do bad things happen to good people?
Well, the truth is, is we really should be asking, Stu, why do bad things happen to good people? You see, The Bible says that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. See, that's the difference that I see, Stu, between the real Christian, the real followers of Jesus Christ, and those who are not. And the problem is, is for a lot of the people who are not followers of Jesus Christ or who say, I want to believe certain things in the Bible, but I don't want to believe other things, they're really good at tricking the masses. They won't just come out and say, I'm a false prophet.
You can't trust anything that I have to say. Everything that I say is bad. No, they'll tell you truth, truth, truth, truth. And then all of a sudden, they'll throw in the false doctrine because they knew if they just came all of a sudden with all of this false doctrine that nobody would want to listen to what they have to say.
So what they do is they get you hooked. They tell you something that, hey, I agree. Yeah, that God is good or, you know, that God loves people. or whatever and it was same with this lady at the pool She started talking to me and she said, Yeah, I know the scriptures. And, you know, she even said, I believe Jesus heals or whatever she said.
But then she started saying, Well, you know, you can heal yourself. And it just started to kind of go off the trails. And when you see that coming, you've got to be careful. And, Stu, I've even seen people who have followed Jesus Christ probably closer than I have, and now they've turned away. Have you seen that?
I've seen it, and it's heartbreaking. It's absolutely heartbreaking, Mike. to see that And I hear your heart, and I think that ultimately, at the end of the day, In Matthew thirteen, a parable went out to sow. And he sewed And there were three types of soils, four types of soils, and they were the seed, the seed was the word of God, the soils were the hearts of men. And it's the parable of the soils, parable of the sower.
And interesting, the word broadcasting comes from That word, so, which is why I love Christian radio and social media. We're spreading God's word. And by the way, we're talking about all this: if you haven't never trusted Christ, call upon the Lord to save you. He's a prayer way. And he loves you, he died for you.
What if the king came and died for his own subjects? And that's the beauty of the gospel of a loving God coming to die for sinners, unworthy sinners like us. That's a beautiful thing. And he makes us worthy, he makes us sons and daughters. Isn't that cool?
He gives us dignity, makes us a royal priesthood. A chosen generation, a holy nation. But Emotions can get into it, and you can easily get pulled away. And that parable in Matthew 13 that's in the other Gospels, too, you have. These uh you have these C's that take.
These seeds get they get in there. But What happens? The birds of the air come and grab them right off the ground, right? The rocks. come in and crush them.
You know, they fall on the rocky ground. You know, you have all that. You know, so the. The parable is very fascinating because sometimes we don't. put that parable in the context of Jesus' day.
These are the people that came up to Jesus. That rich young ruler Most of us would have said, hey, let's pray the sinner's prayer and get you in here because, man, you're going to be a big-time giver to our church. Jesus. To him the law And his heart's not ready for it. And he walks away, it says, weeping.
He came to Jesus and fell on his knees before Christ, it says.
So he was one he was one of those things. The the Rocky Terrain squeezed that faith. It went in there. He had enough faith to come to Jesus. He had enough faith to call him Lord, right?
He had enough faith to say, What must I do to be saved? But Jesus saw the hardness of his heart. And so It just goes to show you that, and there are people that come along that jump on the Jesus bandwagon because it's the thing to do, because, man, it hits my felt need. I'm gonna get out of my little mess right now. But Jesus said, follow me.
And he's looking for that fourth soil that went in and produced fruit. and the sign of a life that is truly his. Is a sign of a fruitful life. Yes, I sometimes I'll ask people that I'm always arguing with, or they're always angry, or they're just always upset, and they're always unsettling life.
Sometimes I'll just stop and say, Hey, when's the last time you shared the gospel with someone?
Now that's a convicting question to me, to Mike, and to you. Think about that. Your life is a Tough stuff going on. But when's the last time you shared the gospel with someone? And if the answer is, well, I don't know, well, you know, I don't know, well, there's a real issue there.
Because there's people you know that are on their way to a burning hell. While we're talking about universalism and the state of the end and damnation.
Okay? We should be talking about that. with an absolute broken heart and with a fire in our belly. That's right. I think it was one of the one of the great pastors, it was Wesley or one of these guys said, he said, rather than put a man in seminary for four years, I would rather have him stare into the open up the earth and stare into hell.
for four seconds. to awaken him. To the severity and the reality of judgment. And he said that would light them on fire as you preach the gospel. That would light them on fire.
Literally, yeah, yeah. Yeah, my guy, the disciple of me in college, Rick Hoppy, mighty man of God. He's still walking with the Lord. He's a leader. He's pastoring pastors.
He's this incredible guy and counseling and all this stuff. He used to say, Stu, sometimes when you're sharing the gospel, picture someone with flames coming off their body. Mm. And picture, man, would you wish that on your worst enemy? No.
You think about that. And so there's something that goes brings us back to We have a lot of problems. But One problem I don't have is, I'm not on my way to hell. God's redeemed me. I didn't deserve it.
I didn't earn it, I didn't pay for it. He came after me and loved me. Michael's wick has been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb.
So that's not my problem.
So, why am I still here? I'm here to help solve everyone else's problem on this planet. They didn't have Jesus. And no, I can't solve it or fix you, but let me introduce you to one who can. His name is Jesus.
And he was a carpenter because he could put you back together like no one else can. And he didn't come to make good men better, he came to make dead people alive, to transform people.
So that same power of the Holy Spirit that raised Christ from the dead, Romans 8, lives in you if you're a believer. Supernatural power and empowers you to be witnesses of Him. Acts 1:8. This is the kingdom power. This is the power of the gospel.
I'm not ashamed of the gospel. It is the power of God to salvation to everyone that believes.
So, what are we doing? Sharing the good news of the gospel.
So, we can argue, but you're never going to win a soul. And you're never going to win an argument. You want to win a soul. You want to bring someone to Jesus.
Well, people don't, they, what do they say? People don't know. People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. Amen. And so there have been so many psychologists over the years that have tried to help people who have been having problems and issues and this and that and the other.
And one of what somebody came up with one time is they said, you know what I found in psychology with the people that I've been helping? If somebody was having a tough time, he said the first thing that I would tell them to do is to go help somebody else, is to go. Share the gospel with somebody else. That's right. We would say, as we're Christians, is to go give somebody food who doesn't have any food.
Give them the food of life. Go ahead and show it to them.
So, this card here is exactly that. And if you want to create a little mini revival in your life, Hit that card right, hit that QR code, just maybe screenshot and just download it right there. And that QR code has Thousands of answers to life's toughest questions. Amazing. But it's this little card you give someone.
And all of a sudden, you're thinking, man, I just gave, I'm having a real bad day, and I don't know if I'm going to have enough months at the end of my money or whatever. I'm struggling financially, whatever. But you're now just giving someone. An invitation to learn more about Jesus. who can transform their day.
They're night into day. And look, on the other side of the card, Michael, is a. A little QR code. And that QR code, by the way, go to Michael Zwick's Facebook page and I'll repost this, and you'll see this, where you can order 200 of these cards for free.
So, Michael, before you go to bed tonight, I'm going to pass this card across the table. All these viewers are our witnesses. I want you to give that to one person. Before you go to bed tonight, maybe the waitress, the server, the person at the gas station, wherever you're stopping next, a client, whoever, and invite them to click on the QR code. And right now, there's an Independence Day message for me about how not only are we free as a country, but we can be free from sin if we trust Christ.
So there's a message, but then there's all these questions: depression, gender confusion. What do you say to a Muslim? Or do we all believe the same thing? All the things we're talking about. All those are answered there.
Hundreds of thousands of questions. But it's just a simple tool.
So what we're trying to do is create a cool tool for people to share the good news. And everyone listening. To my voice and watching this, you're an evangelist if you're a believer. Paul said at the very end of his life, some of his last words to Timothy were After he said, Preach the word, be instant in season, out of season. After all these things he said, he said, Do the work of an evangelist.
Yeah.
Well, it's actually funny, and you may know this. They did a study of kids who were Christians growing up, and they ended up leaving for college. And I think they said up to 70% of those kids who left for college ended up leaving their faith. That's right. But they said the kids who were actively involved in evangelism.
The number of those kids who left their faith was way less. And it was because you're doing the tough stuff. You're going out there. You're having to, you're literally having to fight the good fight of faith. And one of the things, one of my favorite messages was actually from an atheist that I saw years ago by a guy named by Penn Gillette.
His name was Penn Gillette. And he was out and he was sharing something about a story that he had when he was doing his magic show. He said there was a guy who was helping him out with his magic show. He said, This was a big guy. And he said, This guy was a Christian.
And he said, I believe that this guy knew that I was an atheist. He said, But at the end of the show, he said, This guy had a Bible, a Gideon's Bible. He had some phone numbers given in it. And he said, This guy looked me right in the eyes. He handed it to me.
And he said, I guess I'm sort of proselytizing to you. And he said, I wanted to let you know about Jesus. And you thought, you know, okay, Pendalette would think, oh, I hated that. I didn't like that. What Pendalette said was this: it surprised a lot of people.
He said, What that guy did by giving me that Bible and by sharing the gospel, he said it was a beautiful thing. And he went on to say, He said, How much do you have to hate somebody? How much do you have to hate somebody if you believe that eternal life is possible, or you could believe that I'm going to hell for eternity and you don't want to share the good news of Jesus Christ? With me that could save me from hell or that could get me into heaven. He said, How much do you have to hate someone?
Wow, that's a great word. And I love what one of my pastor friends, I heard him on the Truth Network. He said, either evangelize or fossilize. Yeah.
So so so there's if there's kind of like deadness in your church, in your life. Go on a missions trip. Like literally, I interviewed a lady yesterday on live radio, the show you host a lot, and she couldn't even use her name. She's been kicked out of countries for sharing the gospel. But her pastor challenged her to go on one missions trip.
That transformed her life.
Now she's been to like 30 countries. She's led thousands to Christ. Yeah.
And she's told me book of Acts kind of stories about people getting saved and all the amazing miracles. But it started with her saying yes to one short-term missions trip. And suddenly she got there and realized: wait, there's something bigger than me out there. Yeah.
God's at work here. There's something supernatural. And maybe some of you just need to jump out of your comfort zone. and jump out of your shell and go out and and int intentionally share the gospel with someone. Tell someone God loves them.
I mean, you know, it's so simple. There's so many ways to do it. If you're more of a serving person, Bent towards serving. Make a bag of lunch for someone. Put some time into something and then share it with them, you know, by giving gifts.
And it's good to give them gifts. That's right. But, and it's funny, when I first became a Christian, I didn't know what denomination to choose or whatever.
So I ended up going to a Catholic church. I just didn't know. But I liked what the priest actually said. He said, it's good that you give people food. He said, but we need to tell them the good news.
We need to share the gospel.
So there's some churches out there and there's some places out there. They're handing out food and they're saying, have a good day.
Well, if you give somebody some food, I mean, that's good. You've helped them. They're not hungry. But you will lead them to hell and they won't be hungry for that meal. We need to give them the good news that lasts forever.
Yeah, there's two people in the famous John 4 account of Jesus and the Samaritan woman. There's there's two groups of people in that story. that we're looking for tangible drinkable water and food. Mm-hmm. And first a Samaritan woman.
And Jesus says, I have water that you know not of. If you drink the water I give you, you'll never thirst again. She's like, What? She's like, Well, where's this water? You know, five marriages couldn't, or, you know, couldn't, couldn't, you know.
Satisfy, you know, in all of her life pursuit, but she's standing in front of the living water, Jesus Christ. Yeah, so there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, so he's there to offer that, you know, not that he doesn't meet our physical needs. And then the second group in that story are the disciples. When they came back, from wherever they went and they see Jesus. You know, and they see the this woman, right?
They said to him, Jesus said, Hey, He says, I have a food that you know not of. That's what he said to them. Yeah.
Like, wait a second, we we're needing to get something to eat here. Mm-hmm. They're like, Did you call dominoes while we were gone? You know, what's going on here, Lord? And Jesus said, You know, my food, my meat is to do the will of the Father.
And then he looks and says, Look out there, the harvest is plenty.
Well, what do you see when he said that? He saw a woman. Who had no seminary training, had no Bible college training, maybe never went to Sunday school, who was shamed by her community, was going out in the middle of the hot day to get water because she didn't wanna go out when other people were going out because she was so ashamed and made fun of, and she had lived this adulterous, sinful life. He sees a woman. with in tow behind her.
Hundreds of her townspeople. Who she went back and said, I've met a man who told me everything he ever did. That's right. And these people, all these people in this town are like, well, if someone could. could get a hold of her like that at the soul level We want to meet that person too.
That's right. And Jesus tells his disciples: look. There you have the harvest. And he's looking at it, but you see this beautiful picture that, you know, maybe it was a very agricultural area. Maybe there was wheat ready to be harvested, but the real harvest were the souls of all those people that emptied that town.
One of the most effective evangelists to ever live was a Samaritan woman because Jesus Christ, she encounter one encounter with Jesus changed her life. That's right. And even the disciples didn't get it. They're thinking physical food. They're thinking actual harvest.
Where's all the equipment to get this harvest in before the rain falls and all that? And Jesus is saying, those souls right there. That's right. And so whoever you are, wherever you are, whatever you're doing. Ask the Lord of the harvest.
to send you Say, Here am I, Lord, send me Isaiah 6. and watch what he does. And start pray first. Just ask the Lord to open a door. Today.
to share the gospel. Ask the Lord to open a door in your life. Where you go, where you are working right now. You're like, well, I'm going to quit this job and go into full-time ministry. You are in ministry.
God has entrusted you. You know, Howard Hendricks, the great Dallas theological professor, I'll tell you this story. I know we've got to go. He said this. He had a seminary class, and a lot of these guys in seminary are working, going to seminary, you know, trying to bivocational, trying to, you know, make ends meet.
One of his students came up to him at the end of class one day, very upset. A very long face. Doctor Hendricks, I'm so frustrated. He said, I work in a big plant. just to pay my way through school.
And I'm the only believer of 500 people. I'm the only believer. Doc, how can I quit this job? What do I say to my boss? I got to get out of this thing.
It's killing me. I'm the only believer there. Dr. Hinders, without even missing a beat, looked at this young man and said, Young man. You mean to tell me that God has entrusted you with 500 lost souls?
Get back there as soon as class is over and let your light shine before men. They may see you in good works and glorify your Father who's in heaven.
So, God has entrusted you with a family. Man, that baby's up all night. Quote scripture to that baby before they get car keys and can run away. That's right. Take them.
You just baptized a couple of your kids. That's amazing. I saw the video. I had tears in my eyes. But share Jesus with those kids while you can, where you are, with your wife, with your children, while we still have time.
Every soul is precious in God's sight, and we don't know how long we're here. People today, people will die without Christ. Why am I still here? To bring them the good news of the Savior that came and died for their sin to bring them to God. That's why we're still here.
So go share everywhere you go, at work, at play, even at church. There may be people that are there visiting that need someone to lead them to Christ. Have you received Christ? Have you been born again? It's a great question to ask someone.
Share a card, do something. And watch what God does through that work in your life and in the lives of everyone around you. If not for God. All right, for my YouTube channel. If not for God with mighty wick.
