Unbelief Makes The Heart Even Harder

(John 9:39)  "And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind." The above verse teaches us about the importance of believing God's Word when we hear it. Naturally, all men are blind to the truth of God because of their sin nature. So, to open the eyes of men God chose the foolishness of preaching His Word (1 Cor. 1:21). However, the problem with man is in his heart. Too often the Word of God is preached and because a man's heart is hard or indifferent to the message or the messenger, he will reject what he hears in unbelief, making himself even blinder and harder. If a preacher is preaching and explaining God's Word, he stands as an ambassador of God. Be careful when you hear God's Word, it's not the preacher's word it's God's. If we will both listen and obey, we will see the truth and that truth will  both save us and protect us in this life, but if we reject it be afraid, our disbelief will cause us an even greater judgment. Oh listen, God desires that all men see His truth.   (Jn.8:32)  "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

Door To Door Evangelism I Still In God’s Plan

(Mark 6:7) "And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two;" Beginning this June, I would like to begin a new calling program on Saturdays that will take a step of faith and a commitment to carry out. It will take partners of two people willing to go out and canvass specific areas of West Salem together with tracts and the gospel. Brethren, door to door calling is not popular in churches today mainly because it has been dominated by such cults as the Jehovah Witnesses and Mormons, but can I say it is still very much in God's plan for evangelism. I personally believe that most won't do it simply out of fear, and some Pastors today will even go as far as to say that the method is old fashioned and that it doesn't work anymore. Satan has managed to discourage the Church into thinking that the only way a church will grow is by friendship evangelism, but this is not true. Most people in West Salem do not have a church, and those that do seldom attend. Listen, I realize that most Christians won't do this, but what I truly need is just a few who will.  Please pray about becoming a part!
