To My Facebook Friends
Dear Facebook Friends….
You are a New Covenant christian, a covenant ratified by “the blood of the Lamb”. (John: “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”) How does a New Covenant person live? A New Covenant person lives by the teachings/standard/guidance revealed in the New Testament through Jesus, Paul and others. Amen?
Please hear me. Before you is a better life. You may not achieve that better life but it is there for the overcoming christian. Again, a better life than the one you are now living is available for you. And before the overcomer is a gratifying celebration at the judgement seat of Christ. (2 Cor. 5:10: “We must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.”) It is so-o-o-o important that you get this.
You can have a new start, a fresh beginning! You will become a soul-winner. Not a few people, but many. (Jesus: “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.”) You will influence your friends to follow Christ instead of religionists. (As religionists beget religionists, so disciples beget disciples.) Your entire eternity will be much, much richer. (Jesus: “Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven.”) Above all, you will become much better acquainted with the very Son of God!…. the very center of heaven!…. the “Lord of lords and King of kings”!
And now, one more thing. I heartily invite you to regularly feed on my library of books and articles, and listen to my videos. Why? Because if you make a sincere decision to return to “first love”, if you place yourself under the direct lordship of Jesus Christ, if you are determined to fully shed the religious paraphernalia that binds evangelicals to evangelicalism, you just might encounter strong disapproval of evangelicalism’s many officers. My material will strengthen and encourage you, and help you stay focussed on Jesus. (Isaiah 26:3: “You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You.”)
Question: What are my qualifications to speak into your life? Answer: I imitate Paul, no not fully but progressively more and more. (Paul to the corinthians – and thus to you and me: “Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ.”) Unlike perhaps every preacher/teacher in your christianity, I am not attached to a religion. Like Paul, I daily pursue Christ. (“That I may know Him.”) Like Paul, I don’t want your money. (“I kept myself from being burdensome to you.”) Like Paul, I do not monetize my material. Like Paul, I do not seek a following. (“Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you?”) Like Paul, I preach and exalt Jesus Christ. (“I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.”) Like Paul, I believe in “one another” ministry. (“Teaching and admonishing one another.”)
