    How do you know? Does he know all of the screwed up babies he supposably created and creates, like ambiguous gender babies, gender dysphoria babies but yet he hates gays, conjoined twins that are screwed up for life, cancer babies, babies born without brains, harlequin ichthyosis babies, babies born with missing limbs? What about children that suffer and die from starvation and diseases everyday? Justify that for me. Maybe that's why I'm no longer convinced that the mythical baby killer ever existed. Ex- southern baptist thanks for rational thinking and not being gullible anymore. Also studying the immoral bible.

    I'm not worried about where God is, he is always with us. My question is where is the CHURCH? We have 2 pastors in jail right now in a so called free country. Their crime was preaching the Gospel to peaceful protesters. Prayers are good. But if prayer was good enough, he wouldn't have called us to go into the world and preach the Gospel to a lost world. I'm a Christian truck driver, and watched a pastors son crying out " church where are you" as the police dragged his father away. I'm echoing his cry. The world is on fire and the only other Christians I've seen actively involved were a mixed group of believers doing a Jericho march around our government building culminating yesterday at 13.00 by them crying out to God and 100's of truckers blowing their horns. Canada needs you NOW.

    Wow, as a kid, aged 7, my family moved to Connecticut from Florida. We rented a home fall of 1968 on Candlewood Lake! Dad was working for Perkin Elmer. We walked across the lake when it was frozen to cut a Christmas tree! Then March of 1969 there was a huge snowstorm. Mom was due anyday with my baby brother (He was born April 2, 1969). My school, Hill and Plain Elementary was pretty much covered with snow! We settled in Marbledale and lived there a couple of years before moving back to Florida. This is a wonderful testimony of accepting Jesus and even more awesome to hear from someone who kicked around somewhere I lived also! God is so good.

    I accepted Jesus that 'quickly' too. A friend at work was reaching out to me and I was only listienng a little bit because I didn't want to be a freak. I was 30 though. finally he gave me the book by c.s. Lewis, mere Christianity. I was raised a Catholic and like the Greek Orthodox Church you don't learn much. And going off to college made whatever I had go poof. I was now in Japan for almost eight years away from all Christian things. But after about two chapters of mere Christianity I was sold. I had accepted Jesus.

    I love Eric Metaxas' testimony. The parallels between Matthew 17: 24-27 are almost unbelievable. The Lord Jesus tells the Apostle Peter to go take basically a fishing pole, unlike the Nets he's used to to get one single fish that will come up from the water and within it has the temple tax which is the ransom and the atonement for a person's life. Just like the fish, the Lord Jesus has within himself The Ransom and the atonement for our lives, namely his very life blood itself that he shed for us and it is staggering that the first century Believers used the sign of the ichthus which may very well have come from this event. Hallelujah!

And they accepted Christ as His Savior. maybe for America that most people really depends on their ratio/intelectual, they dont believe it. but i believe Eric. Jesus is real and His power is supernatural. that's the sign to confirm Eric to come to Christ.

    God reveals Himself to us in His word. Period. How does this guy Eric know that it was God who gave him the dream? If he was being taught in the church, by his family, and the man he met, his dream was based on those things. To say it was from God is misleading. As if he is so special to receive a special dream from God while the rest of us have to hear the gospel alone 🤔

That let's 15,000 plus children suffer and die from starvation and diseases everyday, supposably creates ambiguous gender babies, gender dysphoria babies but yet he hates gays, conjoined twins that are screwed up for life, cancer babies, babies born without brains, damn now that's a good one but yet he is loving, merciful, just and all-knowing so therefore he knows that when he creates someone that he will send them to a mythical hell to suffer forever.

    I've had a similar experience. I've been estranged from my father for a while now, but I've spent most of 2021, after being led to fast to work through old wounds, and so I did. Nearest to my birthday in January 2022, I have this overwhelming urge to contact my father and to ask him whether he'd send me my photo album and that I was willing to pay for courier costs upfront, is the story I was fixing to interject as I start to contact my father. I'd already forgiven him and was at peace with how things ended and with whatever happened. I realised in previous conversations before I had any idea about contacting my father about my photo album, that I still loved and missed him and that there really was no animosity/pain/suffering toward my father or the circumstances that led to the estrangement and everything up until that point. So I get the idea that the missing link was connected to a picture of myself as a child, full of joy and laughter and of course my mother's letters and pictures, whom I've lost as a 7/yo, and just seeing the possibility to what can happen once again if I'd stay faithful to this healing and forgiveness journey. I'd tried reconciling with my father on previous occasions, but they blew up and went south so fast, but this time it felt different. I wasn't expecting anything from the past to resurface, yet I knew they'd still be there, but I knew because I loved my father and I genuinely wished him well, that the conversation for me would be easy. Btw, I'm led to share this experience, so if yourself reading this, I pray that the grace and mercy of God be with you always. At the time I texted my father and told him that it would be the most amazing birthday present if he could send me my photo album and he said yes. I didn't even have to pay upfront for the delivery, even though I had every intention of doing that. He said that it was fine and that he'd sent it as early as possible so that it might be delivered before my birthday. My birthday arrives and the album has not yet arrived, but my father actually wishes me happy birthday!!! This was unexpected and definitely not what I had expected and so I go all in and tell my father thank you and that I love him and that all is well and what not. I don't expect anything to happen, such as reconciliation of any sort, because my joy was in telling him how I felt and know that it was the truth. I hadn't been in my Christian faith for a while now, even though I've been born and raised in the church and had attended many Christian schools and so forth. I was actually way off, but desperately yearning for something, anything. I'd dabbled in new age and occult practices since I was in grade school. So yeah, a loooong story and just a big mess. January 30 I received my photo album and overjoyed, I texted my father to let him know that I had received it and I thanked him again. That very day I looked through my pictures and saw pictures of my father where he seemed full of joy and hope and that really filled me up like nothing else and truly, it felt like the best gift ever!!! January 31 at around 00:00 am - 3:00 am I fell asleep and after a YT video came across my feed that I'd already watched, so I knew more or less what the message was and fell into a little catnap. Suddenly inside my dreams I'm back in my hometown, but I didn't tell anyway that I'd be there and even inside my dream, I'm thinking to myself, why would I be home? My father and I don't talk nor do I and my stepmother, so where would I sleep, where would I go?? I find myself back at family that I use to visit a lot, my mother's side of my family and I brought my son with, but he's asleep, while me and my nephew play catch up, but for some reason it must've become so rowdy at the house. An alarm goes off, I look around and ask my nephew what the hell, he says he doesn't know what's going on and we suddenly click that my father is being called and I tell him, hide my son, I'm running and finding me a place to lay low, just until I can come get my son, so we could leave. I try to run, but I'm cornered in and cut off, with no way to hide, and out pops my father. Full of smiles and beckoning and his posture is formidable, but his stance is that of expectation. He waves at him and smiles and stars talking to me, asking me to come closer. I'm in a state of shock, a healthy dose of fear and just disbelieve as my father starts rattling off, things that he shouldn't have known and I am compelled to tell the truth and because of this, I finally walk and he meets me halfway and pulls me into a bear hug. The kind of hug that heals wounds and revives hope and love that was buried beneath layers of hurt. I'm overwhelmed and we keep talking like we never were estranged, like the relationship we use to have before I turned 10, but on WHOLE NEW LEVEL, completely out of this world. He asks me why I didn't tell him that I was on my way home, but never mind that, he KNEW I was heading home. Something about my whatsapp status let him know that his little girl was coming home. So he planned to visit every family member he knew I'd visit fist before even thinking about coming home and they each had an assignment to alert him, the moment I landed. This entire conversation has me speechless for a few moments and I sense that there is a genuine hurt there, because why wouldn't I rather reach out to him and stay at his house when I came home? I tried explaining that I didn't know how I'd open up that conversation after the last time, and so I didn't try. He smiles and is upbeat yet again and this immediately reliefs the heaviness that I was feeling, like it never happened. We talk and he asks me so was I going to run to my stepmother who lives in a neighbouring city, even though I knew there wasn't much love lost there and how I thought I was going to do it, without a plan or fully developed idea and then bringing an innocent child into the uncertain situation. I didn't know what to say and felt really bad, but he pulls me closer into a hug and says, not to worry, because I'm going home with him. He knew I was coming, so he prepared everything in advance, just in case. I'm like, what?!?!? Just dumbfounded and he goes on to say it's because you're my child and I know everything about you. Of course I knew when you would come home, when and why I'd come home. I'm just overwhelmed and we walk and as we walk, he puts his arm across my shoulders and opens up the conversation with, "Your mother told me..", I interrupt,: "Did she tell you that she blocked me as well?", I respond and we have a big laugh and the conversation stops right there and he tells me, I want to show you something. We walk a little distance and with his arm still across my shoulders and me basically holding him by the waist as we walk, he tells me that he has had my inheritance all this time, in fact that his been keeping it, in case I'd ever need it and I'm like, loss for words. He pulls out a big bag and zips open one of them and you could see just the piles and piles of money in it. I'm overwhelmed and all I could do was cry as he takes a dollar bill out of the bag and hands it to me, as a way of saying, I got you. When I woke up, realised that I was visited by God as my estranged father and it makes complete sense that he'd come as my father, since I'd reconciled my earthy father. So this was amazing!!! Praise God!! He really loves and cherishes us with everything that he is and hopes to have that father/daughter/son relationship outside of modern/traditional church boundaries.

    Yes, God loves us unconditionally and wants us to come home. That's why we are here: to reconcile with everyone we have grudges against. Forgiveness is like layers of an onion and God helps us get through each of them with a changing of our minds that put the grudges and guilt there in the first place. metanoia.

    The Gospel: Plain and Simple “But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.” - 2 Corithians 11:3 Ask someone today if they are saved and you will most likely hear responses like these: “I have accepted Jesus into my heart.” Or “I have made him Lord of my life.” “I’ve been baptized.” “I said a prayer.” Sounds all good and churchy don’t it; but it is difficult to de-termine whether or not a person actually knows the gospel that saves them. These use￾less phrases don’t describe a thing about what the gospel is and has left a devastating effect of people not knowing what it is that they are saved from nor how they are saved; which leaves a more serious effect of people ques￾tioning their salvation. Let’s not muddy the simplicity of salva￾tion that is in Christ with vague church sounding phrases that do not communicate anything. But rather present God’s word with clarity and assuredness. So here is the gospel: plain and simple. Sin was passed upon all men by one man Adam, and death is a consequence of this sin (Rom 5:12). Mankind has an eternal destiny of condemnation and wrath - Hell - because of this sin (Rom 6:23). No matter what good works one might do we are still found sinners in the sight of our Creator God. And all un￾righteousness and those who follow get in￾dignation and wrath. We cannot be found righteous for by God’s law we are found sin￾ners (Rom 3:19-20). If we have broken even one law we are found guilty. It is for this reason of not being able to create our own righteousness and being born in a sinful flesh that we need a savior (Titus 3:5). Christ is that Savior, God manifested in the flesh, sinless, died in our place on a cross 2000 years ago. Taking upon him the wrath and judgement that was intended for us sin￾ners. And it is through his bloodshed, burial, and resurrection on our behalf that we are able to have peace with God and forgiveness of our sins (1 Cor 15:1-4, Col 3:14). This good news is unto all but only those that believe in it are made righteous in Christ (Romans 3:22). It is then after we have heard this good news of Christ’s righteousness available to us freely, that we are sealed with the Holy Spirit and we are now part of Christ’s body the church (Eph 1:13) There is nothing that we need to do, no good works that are required, and no bad works that can separate us from our new po￾sition in Christ (Romans 8:35-39). Faith and belief in this information from God’s word is the gospel. The gospel is not accepting Jesus into your heart. The gospel is not making him lord of your life, it is not saying a prayer and it is not being baptized with water. So next time someone asks you if you are saved. Give them the clear assured answer “Yes! And let me tell you why!” Find more free resources at: www.graceambassadors.com
