Proving Yourself to the World

I have seen some Christians seemingly list a number of disclaimers prior to attempting to speaking the Gospel.
I am not trying to judge...I love everyone... I hate the sin, but love the sinner...I am not trying to push my beliefs on anyone...I respect everyone's rights... 
Why take such pains to prove that you align with what the world considers a "Christian"?

Why go to such lengths to prove that you are "loving"?

Why the preface to prove that you are not "judging"?

Why feel the need to prove yourself to the world?

I don't recall any disciple of Christ ever taking this attitude, and I have to think it is because they just didn't care.

I am not saying that they didn't care about the people.  Clearly they cared about the people anytime they took the time to tell them the truth.  I am saying that they didn't care how people responded to the message.  Why?  Because they trusted the Holy Spirit.  The trusted the Holy Spirit to guide them in what to say (and how to say it) and they trusted the Holy Spirit to give understanding to those with ears to hear.  And they knew that many would not have ears to hear.

There is a difference between explaining things vs. feeling compelled to apologize for the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  The motive behind that is fear of rejection.  Yet, if you cut allegiances with the world now, then you won't care about their rejection.  In other words, you only feel rejected from those through whom you still seek acceptance.  Once you know you have been accepted in the Beloved, you will be whole and not require validation from others.

Some need to be reminded of the words of the Lord:

"Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them. For, behold, I have made thee this day a defenced city, and an iron pillar, and brasen walls against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against the princes thereof, against the priests thereof, and against the people of the land. And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee." Jeremiah 1:17-19

As the days grow more dark, we are sure to encounter fierce opposition.  In the days of Acts, people became so incensed at the Gospel that they would stone you to death.  Do we have any doubt regarding the level of hatred that people feel towards Christ today?  If you do not know, I assure you that it will become more apparent very shortly.

It is time to gird up your loins and proclaim the Good News with no regard for person.  The Gospel doesn't change, no matter to whom you are speaking; mother, brother, neighbor, stranger, president, king, pope, etc.  Pray to God to be able to speak His word will all boldness.

"Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus... 

And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, by stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness." Acts 4:13, 29-31

There is no way to show the world what a Christian is than to die to yourself and let the life of Christ manifest from within.  The lost (even in Church) don't need your impression of Christ or even the world's emulation of Christ; they need Christ.

Two Natures At War

All around the world, we are seeing evidence of two natures at war. Do you know why? Which one are you?


Sunday, June 28, 2015

Will You Secede?

"Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me." John 14:30

The prince of this world is coming. Does he have anything in you?

If so, then it is time for a secession.

It is time to break ties with anything that looks, tastes, feels, or sounds like the world.  It is time to break off all alliances and end all compromises.  It is time for us to become crucified to the world and for the world to be crucified to us.

"But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world." Galatians 6:14

We have held on long enough to people, possessions, relationships, reputations, hurts, fears, etc. You cannot drag these things into the Kingdom of God.  Yet at the same time, these things will keep you back from the Kingdom.

There are people lying to you, telling you that the Kingdom of God is all about building up some earthly dominion in this world.  They call it "Kingdom Business" as they focus on making money, acquiring possessions, expanding professional networks, and becoming a person of renown.  There is nothing wrong with having possessions, just don't let them start to possess you.

Haven't you heard that the Kingdom of God is not of this world; it is righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost (Romans 14:17)?

"Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence." John 18:36

There comes a time when you realize that you are in covenant with something which is holding you back.  The world is pulling you in one direction while the Lord is urging you in another. The only option at that point is for you to secede...or you will shift away from the Lord to keep covenant with the world.
secede: to withdraw formally from membership in a federal union, an alliance, or a political, religious, or other organization.
You are trying to enter eternity by investing in that which is temporal (Luke 12:16-21).  This will never work. You have to decide which is more important: the things of this life or the things of God. Don't you know that the two are at odds with one another?  We must either fish or cut bait because the time is coming where - if we do not decide - Jesus will decide for us.

"I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth

Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. 

As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent." Revelation 3:15-19

We are fast approaching the time where mere religion is not going to make it; in fact, it is going to fail you miserably at the most inopportune time.  Why?  Because you won't have the strength or desire to keep pretending that you are what you aren't.

Consider this excerpt from The Organic Gospel:
The Church - God’s ekklesia - is a group of “called out” ones who have been set apart by God for His purposes. He desires to mold us into His image so that He can fill us with the eternal power of the Holy Ghost as living witnesses of Him. There is no other way to be reconciled to God except to be sanctified unto holiness (2 Corinthians 6:14-18) 
Brothers and sisters, we must come out from amongst them. We must separate from the Devil’s vexations which are sent to stop the formation of Jesus Christ within us. Only when the word of God is sown in our spirit and the nature of Christ is grown out into the soul do we become living witnesses as He manifests through our physical bodies. That transformation in itself testifies to the world that God is not dead, but alive!
Jesus IS alive, but the world will not know this until it is too late unless you become a vessel fit for the Master's use.  Yes the world is spiraling quickly into chaos, but the most tragic chaos is that within one's own soul as you decide which way you will choose.  Don't be found naked at this late hour (Mark 14:51-52).

Want to succeed?  You must secede.  You must die to the life which is tied to this world.  Let the light of God's word as directed by His Holy Spirit shine on all that is not pleasing to Him and then break ties with whatever that is.

Guess Who's Coming To Dinner?

"And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way. 

And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.

And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know. And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.

And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked? Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein? That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?

And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes. And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes: Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it.


And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty's sake. And he said unto him, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there. And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty's sake.

And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake.

And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place." Genesis 18:16-33

Consider this text.  In looking at Sodom, God proclaims two truths: He was building Abraham into a great & mighty nation; and, He was preparing to visit Sodom.

Why did He choose to bless Abraham?  Because Abraham was a patriarch; he took his rightful place as the head in his home by exerting the authority of God and commanding his household in the ways of the Lord.

For what purpose was God blessing Abraham?  So that, "the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him."  What God had spoken of to Abraham was a son.  As the Lord looked down at Sodom, He knew it was time to bring forth the promised son.

And although God only said that he was going down to visit Sodom, Abraham knew that judgment was coming.  He knew - as the Lord said - that the sin of those cities was great and very grievous. This know, there were not even ten righteous in all the city for God to spare His judgment.

When God looks down on the earth and sees that the world has become as Sodom, He determines that it is time for judgment.  He comes down to see about the people.  He prepares to send forth His Son.

"And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed." Luke 17:26-30

Have you ever seen someone going full force towards destruction and yet oblivious to their own pending demise? It is a pitiful sight to see.  There is none as foolish as one who will not heed Godly correction (Proverbs 12:15).

Scripture tells us that when Jesus returns, people will be eating, drinking, marrying, etc.  They will be going on none the wiser, carousing in life, believing that they are free from judgment and can do as they please with no repercussion.  Yet Jesus shall return in the midst of their revelry, and those who are unprepared shall all utterly be destroyed.

When Jesus returns, will He find you focused on the things of this world?  Are you still wrapped up in religion, trying to build up your treasures in the earth focusing on how to build prosperity and gain wealth "for the Lawd"?  Are you still wrapped up in sin (fornication, greed, lying, idolatry, etc.), believing that you always have tomorrow to get it right?  Are you still living for yourself, doing what you want to do but feeling like you are not really a bad person as long as you are not hurting anyone?  I tell you that you are a thief because you have stolen and misappropriated what belongs to the Lord...your very bodies.

"Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?"  Indeed He shall...and I hope you are prepared when He comes.

"Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire." Jude 1:7

The Old Cross and the New

I was asked by a brother in the Lord to share an article which was originally posted on our expired message board, so I thought I would post it here.  It is an excerpt from The Dwelling Place of God (1966) by A. W. Tozer.

The old cross was a rugged, worn, blood-stained torture device used to bring about the death or end of the man hanging on it.

The new cross is reduced to a mere symbol of that, becoming a source of pride for the flesh to show off, while affecting no change in man...except perhaps to make him worse.

Thank God for men such as A.W. Tozer, who could see the pitfalls in the Church even back then and didn't hesitate to sound the warning.

A. W. Tozer, Man, the Dwelling Place of God
ALL UNANNOUNCED AND MOSTLY UNDETECTED there has come in modern times a new cross into popular evangelical circles. It is like the old cross, but different: the likenesses are superficial; the differences, fundamental.

From this new cross has sprung a new philosophy of the Christian life, and from that new philosophy has come a new evangelical technique-a new type of meeting and a new kind of preaching. This new evangelism employs the same language as the old, but its content is not the same and its emphasis not as before.

The old cross would have no truck with the world. For Adam's proud flesh it meant the end of the journey. It carried into effect the sentence imposed by the law of Sinai. The new cross is not opposed to the human race; rather, it is a friendly pal and, if understood aright, it is the source of oceans of good clean fun and innocent enjoyment. It lets Adam live without interference. His life motivation is unchanged; he still lives for his own pleasure, only now he takes delight in singing choruses and watching religious movies instead of singing bawdy songs and drinking hard liquor. The accent is still on enjoyment, though the fun is now on a higher plane morally if not intellectually.

The new cross encourages a new and entirely different evangelistic approach. The evangelist does not demand abnegation of the old life before a new life can be received. He preaches not contrasts but similarities. He seeks to key into public interest by showing that Christianity makes no unpleasant demands; rather, it offers the same thing the world does, only on a higher level. Whatever the sin-mad world happens to be clamoring after at the moment is cleverly shown to be the very thing the gospel offers, only the religious product is better.


The new cross does not slay the sinner, it redirects him. It gears him into a cleaner and jollier way of living and saves his self-respect. To the self-assertive it says, "Come and assert yourself for Christ." To the egotist it says, "Come and do your boasting in the Lord." To the thrill seeker it says, "Come and enjoy the thrill of Christian fellowship." The Christian message is slanted in the direction of the current vogue in order to make it acceptable to the public.

The philosophy back of this kind of thing may be sincere but its sincerity does not save it from being false. It is false because it is blind. It misses completely the whole meaning of the cross.

The old cross is a symbol of death. It stands for the abrupt, violent end of a human being. The man in Roman times who took up his cross and started down the road had already said good-by to his friends. He was not coming back. He was going out to have it ended. The cross made no compromise, modified nothing, spared nothing; it slew all of the man, completely and for good. It did not try to keep on good terms with its victim. It struck cruel and hard, and when it had finished its work, the man was no more.

The race of Adam is under death sentence. There is no commutation and no escape. God cannot approve any of the fruits of sin, however innocent they may appear or beautiful to the eyes of men. God salvages the individual by liquidating him and then raising him again to newness of life.

That evangelism which draws friendly parallels between the ways of God and the ways of men is false to the Bible and cruel to the souls of its hearers. The faith of Christ does not parallel the world, it intersects it. In coming to Christ we do not bring our old life up onto a higher plane; we leave it at the cross. The corn of wheat must fall into the ground and die.

We who preach the gospel must not think of ourselves as public relations agents sent to establish good will between Christ and the world. We must not imagine ourselves commissioned to make Christ acceptable to big business, the press, the world of sports or modern education. We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum.

God offers life, but not an improved old life. The life He offers is life out of death. It stands always on the far side of the cross. Whoever would possess it must pass under the rod. He must repudiate himself and concur in God's just sentence against him.

What does this mean to the individual, the condemned man who would find life in Christ Jesus? How can this theology be translated into life? Simply, he must repent and believe. He must forsake his sins and then go on to forsake himself. Let him cover nothing, defend nothing, excuse nothing. Let him not seek to make terms with God, but let him bow his head before the stroke of God's stern displeasure and acknowledge himself worthy to die.

Having done this let him gaze with simple trust upon the risen Saviour, and from Him will come life and rebirth and cleansing and power. The cross that ended the earthly life of Jesus now puts an end to the sinner; and the power that raised Christ from the dead now raises him to a new life along with Christ.

To any who may object to this or count it merely a narrow and private view of truth, let me say God has set His hallmark of approval upon this message from Paul's day to the present. Whether stated in these exact words or not, this has been the content of all preaching that has brought life and power to the world through the centuries. The mystics, the reformers, the revivalists have put their emphasis here, and signs and wonders and mighty operations of the Holy Ghost gave witness to God's approval.

Dare we, the heirs of such a legacy of power, tamper with the truth? Dare we with our stubby pencils erase the lines of the blueprint or alter the pattern shown us in the Mount? May God forbid. Let us preach the old cross and we will know the old power.

The Whole Truth

A sister in the Lord contacted me saying that she had attempted to post a comment to the last article, but for some reason was unable to.  Therefore she sent it to me directly.

In the comment was a link to a blog post speaking about how the "Mother" Emanuel A.M.E. Church in Charleston, SC - the scene of a recent tragic slaying - was an apostate church steeped in freemasonry.  She wanted me to post it on her behalf because she thought it was important for people to know the whole truth about this situation.

Honestly, I knew that this church was a part of Babylon when the news referenced the church's women pastors.  Anyone who is born again would know that women cannot be pastors in the Church of God.  Somehow, that knowledge was enough for me.  While I don't dispute the research presented in the linked blog post, I have to wonder, "Why was that necessary?"

In a recent article about the shootings, the interim pastor stated:
"The blood of the Mother Emmanuel Nine requires us to work until not only justice in this case, but for those who are still living in the margin of life, those who are less fortunate than ourselves, that we stay on the battlefield until there is no more fight to be fought."
Is it not clear that this is a worldly endeavor?  They are not waging a spiritual war empowered by the blood of Jesus Christ.  They are fighting to defend the blood of man in order to bring people a perceived version of justice and comfort in this life.  Such is not the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Does it really take deep analysis of the history of this church to understand that it is part of the false church system?  Do we have to conduct a breakdown of the history of world systems to know that they are of the world?  Shouldn't we be able to know the spirit of an entity (or a person) by applying the word of God (our standard for truth) and the inspiration of the Spirit (the One who guides us into all truth)?

"For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them." Ephesians 5:8-11

I am not against research or studying; on this blog you will find posts which are the result of both. However, what is the focus of that research & study?  Deep, on-going analysis into freemasonry, the Illuminati, the Kabbalah, and all forms of mysticism will only leave you familiar with the occult. We should not be ignorant about the devices of the enemy, yet his tactics should not be our primary focus.  We are to study the word to show ourselves approved (II Timothy 2:15).  The truth - the whole truth - is a person named Jesus Christ (John 14:6).

A tabloid used to promote its paper with the catchphrase, "Enquiring minds want to know."  Many in the church seem to have become enamored with the acquisition of knowledge in what seems to be a form of Gnosticism.  The last thing we should want in this day and age is to become ever learning, but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth (II Timothy 3:7). As things become more volatile in the earth, we are going to need to rely on the Holy Spirit more and more for discernment.

One characteristic of Gnosticism is that it leads to a false presentation of Jesus Christ.  Likewise, the author of the Parables blog (the site of the linked blog post suggested to me) depicts a false presentation of Christ. Joseph Herrin believes Jesus Christ to be a created being versus the eternal Son of the Father.  He also believes that Hell is not eternal and that all persons will eventually be reconciled with Christ.  Others (including myself) have reached out to him in these matters, but he remains stoic.  I believe this is why the Lord did not permit this sister to be able to post her comment. He has had me cut ties with Joseph and no longer post any of his work.

Jesus Was and Is Eternally God

Hell Bent

My intent here is not to disparage any person, but to call our attention to the importance of how we define truth.  If we are not rooted first in Christ, then we will be deceived (Matthew 24:24).

Please be prayerful about who you receive as preaching the truth, especially as these days become darker.  Truths can be shared by many, but may our standard always be Christ.

May the Lord keep us in these evil days, as only He can.

A Preoccupation with the Demonic

Get Off Your Knees & Stop Praying!

"Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom." Luke 21:10

The Scriptures warn that in the last days "nation will rise against nation."

The word translated as "nation" here is the Greek word ethnos, which references in part ethnicity.  It lets us know that racial tensions will be prevalent in the days before Christ's return. This makes perfect sense because II Timothy tells us what the character of those outside of Christ will be in the last days:

"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 

For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth." II Timothy 3:1-7

The root of the peril we will increasingly face is because men have become lovers of their own selves. Whether manifested as racism, gay pride, etc., this love of self, or pride, is the root behind every other wicked attribute noted in the above Scripture.  Satan was cast out from Heaven due to pride, and those who are inspired by his spirit will have that same trait.

Is there such a thing as racism?  There sure is!  Is that the real battle?  No it is not.  I don't mean to imply that the repercussions of racism are not real.  They certainly are.  My point is that there is another war behind the facade which has nothing to do with race.

It is a shame to watch evil occur and do nothing.  It is a crying shame to be deceived by a false flag into fighting a battle that will never bring victory because the true enemy is not in your targets.

Satan wants our vision limited to that what we can see, touch, taste, hear, and feel; in that way we remain controllable by him.  Yet I am telling you that there is a spiritual reality beyond what you can perceive with your carnal senses.  There is a goal Satan has in mind by stirring up all of these racial tensions, and he has slipped and let his hand show ever so briefly this week.

A number of lives have been senselessly lost recently in what often appears to be racially motivated hate crimes against persons of color. The most recent tragedy occurred in Charleston, SC this week when a young white man brutally shoot and killed nine African-Americans during a Bible Study at their church.

As a result of these slayings, there is understandably much grief, anguish, and anger across the nation.  In an interview about this assault, a young black woman interrupts the CNN reporters to express her outrage about this situation and the media's handling of it.  As you listen to the woman's reflections about everyone from the shooter, to the reporter, to the President, she gets out one last comment before the reporters cut to a break, "Black folks, get off your knees and stop praying!"

And there we have it, folks.  The goal of all of this chaos, murder, and systemic inequity is to get people to take their eyes off of Jesus Christ.  Yet, I tell you that the real battle is on your knees; so pick up the prayer, pick up the fasting...now more than ever.  Don't be distracted by the devil, no matter how much he throws your way.  Don't let him deceive you into setting your targets on someone in the flesh, which will be powerless to affect change.

"For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)." II Corinthians 10:3-4

The world - even if it calls itself the Church - will follow the world.  They will fight as the world fights, with carnal weapons directed at men. I encourage you to fight, you MUST fight, but fight a good fight which is destined for victory; don't waste time beating at the air.

"I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:" I Corinthians 9:26

Why The Gospel HAD To Be Organic

"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek." Romans 1:16

I recently posted that the book The Organic Gospel is now available, both in print and in eBook format.  I urge you again to get and share a copy of this book.

Friends, this is not about mere book promotion, but about getting into the hands of those who love God and those who need God (and that should be everyone) a message that cuts through the deceptions of religion and points you to the simplicity of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The devil has done a wonderful job of blinding the minds of men to God's plan of salvation (even those in church) because he aims to pervert the image of God in man.  As long as he can keep man from being born again  - being supernaturally and organically transformed by the Spirit of God to be a new creature - he can keep man bound and alienated from God (Colossians 1:21). Yet, if we can present to people the truths of the Gospel, then there will be a clear call upon their hearts to make a choice. While they may not choose the True & Living way, it will no longer be due to ignorance.

God is not after changing your behavior (your good works or your bad); He is after changing who you are at the core.  He desires to change the very lifetype or nature you possess, from being one that is enslaved by sin to being one made in the image of His Son, Jesus Christ.  Due to sin, we were all born by nature to be children of wrath (Ephesians 2:3-6).  The answer for salvation then lies in killing that fallen nature so as to be given a new nature in Christ.  This is the liberty we experience in Christ Jesus; no more trying, no more striving, just being who God has created us to be.

Please understand the times we are in and the spiritual war being fought over the souls of men (Revelation 18:8-13).  This is all about saving souls.  I am willing to lay down my life for the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Are you?  This has to become personal.  It has to become your personal charge to fulfill the calling of the Lord God Almighty upon your life.  Believe me, anything wrong with you (spiritually or physically) will be worked out by Him as you go forward in His name.  He will perfect that which pertains to you as you give your life and body back to Him for His use.

Have you enlisted in the army of God?  Then it is time to take your place on the battlefield.  It is time to take the true Gospel around the world.  Stop arguing about doctrine or sitting idly by watching the world spin into madness.  Make it your mission to save souls; on the job, in the market, on the streets, in your home...  Don't turn to religious works, but pray that God will give you eyes to see and ears to hear so that you are ever available to Him to be a witness to the lost.  As you do, I know that The Organic Gospel will prove to be a valuable part of your arsenal...such is why the book was written.

"Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me. When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand

Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul." Ezekiel 3:17-21
