"I want to say to every sinner, “You are in a state in which there is nothing morally that can qualify you for being saved, but Jesus Christ meets you where you now are.” Remember first, that when the gospel was first sent into the world, those to whom it was sent, were manifestly without any moral qualification. Did you ever read the first chapter of Paul’s Epistle to the Romans? It is one of those awful passages in Scripture, not intended to be read in congregations; but to be read and studied in the secrecy of one’s chamber. The apostle gives a portrait of the manners and customs of the heathen world, so awful, that unless our missionaries had informed us, that it is exactly the photograph of life in Hindustan at the present moment, infidels might have declared that Paul had exaggerated. Heathendom in the time of Paul, was so desperately wicked that it would be utterly impossible to conceive of a sin, into which men had not fallen; and yet, “We turn unto the Gentiles,” said the apostle; and yet the Lord himself commanded, “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” What! To Sodomites, whose very smallest sin is adultery, and fornication; to thieves and murderers, to murderers of fathers and mothers? Yes, go and preach the gospel to them! Manifestly, the fact that the world was steeped up to its very throat in the filth of abominable wickedness, and yet the gospel was sent to it, proves that Christ does not seek for any qualification of morality, or righteousness in man, before the gospel is available to him. He sends the Word to the drunkard, to the swearer, the harlot, the vilest of the vile; for such is the gospel of Christ intended to save."

" God has given us a new vision for the year of 2008 which is evangelism. This is something ALL Christians and churches should be doing right? With less than 2% of the modern church evangelizing, the church is fulfilling "a little commision, and not a great commision." A lot of us sit up in our churches week after week and recieve great Bible teaching and exhortation, we have Christian radio, Blue Letter Bible, unlimited commentaries, and get like fattened cattle and do little to nothing with what we've learned in regards to "taking it to the streets" outside the church. Our community needs active Christians to "go out" and bring the message of salvation to the lost and bring spiritual medicine to the dying and hurting. We can't do that if were arguing about whose doctrine is the best and stay hung up in the fort (church) all the time enjoying the cozy, non-confrontational, safe, comforts of Christianity. You don't always have to travel to the Middle East, Africa, or Romania to bring the message to the lost. Although it is important to “go” throughout the whole earth, we need to evangalize our city, state, and country which is dying like so much of the church. We might want to stop wondering "What would Jesus do?" and look at "What did Jesus do?" and do it. That is the CCRSM Youth Ministry vision for 08'. Will you join us?"

"Hey Sir. Just wondering when you guys were going out again. I really appreciate you for helping me out. Things for me have gotten a lot better. I realize now that even if I become rich, have expensive cars or anything material, that I still would not be happy. I feel good now knowing how much the lord cares for me and all his children. Thank you."

"Hey T,
     I just wanted to email you and let you know that you are doing an awesome job!!! One thing I really like that you do is that you don't old back the truth, to make it more "friendlier" or whatever, as some churches do. All of this on prayer is definitely helping me become a prayer warrior!! You know what is so stupid about me. I have seen what prayer can do. Prayer changed one of my good friends totally around. He did drugs and all of this stuff, and I talked with him and stuff about it, but I mostly prayed for him. And he told me I changed his life. Now, that is wrong, because it was God, but I have seen what God has done, and can do. And yet when a trial comes I forsake prayer, UNTIL I fall on my face, that usually wakes me up. So, yeah just wanted to let you know that God is definitely speaking through you!!! I always think that is the greatest thing. Like when I see things happening through me for others, I have to just stop and think "WOW this is awesome the God of the EVERYTHING decided to use ME for this". Sometimes I think He is crazy, but then I remember that is crazy, He can't be crazy!!!! So, yeah I will talk to you laterz!!! love yah loads!!! buh bye!...Lindz

"I was at the church on Sunday and I just wanted to say thank you for welcoming me this weekend. I thought your talk about obedience and then understanding was great because most of us look at it the other way around most of the time. I also wanted to tell you that I think you are having a really good overall impact on Shelley. She is always telling me how great your messages are and I've found out that she's right. So thank you for all that and hopefully I'll be coming back again.
