Trail Mix - 8.24.19


August 24, 2019 "He that winneth souls is wise..." We are to walk as Jesus walked but we are also supposed to be a witness. Being a soul-winner is "wise" because it keeps our hearts warm, it saves a soul from hell, it encourages the body of Christ, it improves the moral climate in our community, it adds to the pool of workers in the kingdom and much more! Let's sow the Gospel seed and trust God to give the increase. Trymon Messer preached, “Let’s keep the main thing, the main thing!” The 21st Century church as lot the sense of the urgency of the Gospel! God help us to reclaim and rekindle this desire to reach the lost and dying!” S. E. Trail

My prayer for you is for a “heart” for souls that will be expressed in a verbal and virtual witness!

Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. KJV

“While two visitors were visiting Annapolis, they noticed several students on their hands and knees assessing the courtyard with pencils and clipboards in hand.  "What are they doing?" one of them asked their tour guide. "Each year," he replied with a grin, "The upperclassmen ask the freshmen how many bricks it took to finish paving this courtyard." "So what's the answer?" one of the visitors asked the tour guide when they were out of earshot of the freshmen. The guide replied, "One. That brings up an interesting theological question.  How many sacrifices did it take to finish paying for our sins?  The Jews would have needed lots of pencils and clipboards to make the calculation.  "Let's see, let's take all the sin offerings, all the guilt offerings, the bulls, the goats, the lambs, the turtledoves..." So what's the answer?  How many sacrifices did it take to finish paying for our sins?  Only one. "And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.  But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God." (Heb. 10:11-12). After thousands and thousands of sacrificial animals had been sacrificed, Jesus Christ gave his own life on the cross.  Only then could it be said, "It is finished." (John 19:30).
