Judge: No Special Access for Christians at School

A recent ruling in middle Tennessee said that Christian groups have no special access at school. The group Praying Parents were told they could no longer meet at an elementary school. Of course the ACLU was involved. This is always done in the name of separation of church & state. If Christians don't have an influence in school who does? And as the state takes over more & more of our lives, what influence is left for the church? The ACLU & other state-worshippers want to take away every influence the church has. Why? It is easier to answer to a God you can make into your image than to One who does not change & whose standards they have no thought or desire to live up to.

"I Had a Bad Experience at Church"

How many times have you had a chance to speak to someone about the things of God when they make a statement or ask a question & then 10 minutes after you're done with your conversation, you come up with a great answer & think, "I wish I had said that." Well tonight I stopped by the market & had a chance to witness to the young lady behind the counter when that exact thing happened. While I was explaining to her about judgement day & what she must do to receive mercy, she agreed with just about everything. But then she said, "But I'm not going to church, I had a bad experience in church." I hadn't said anything about going to church & I guess if I was going on the psychological theories of today I would have asked her to tell me about it. I'm just not sure how rehashing over old traumas with someone I barely know will keep her out of hell. Basically I told her to repent, trust in Jesus, find her Bible & read it to find out what God expects of her. I told her that on judgement day telling God "I had a bad experience" probably won't fly. Anyhow I left on good terms. But after I got in the car & was driving down the road, I started thinking, "Bad experience? Jesus suffered & died a terrible death on the cross because of me & you, now that's a bad experience. "Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted." (Hebrews 2:18) and "For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, But we have one who was tempted in every way - yet was without sin."
(Hebrews 4:15) No matter what you've gone through, or are going through, He's already been there.

The "Great Spirits" Told Him He was Going to Heaven

I was witnessing to a guy Wednesday night outside of Wal-mart. He was smoking, of course, if they ever ban smoking completely, it will be harder for me to find people to witness to. Anyhow, when I asked him if he knew where he was going when died, he said, "To heaven." I asked him how he knew that & he replied, "The great spirits told me." He said he was a Native American, half, the other half was Scotch-Irish & I could see a heck of a lot more of that than Blackfoot. I guess there is kind of a romance to being associated with the N-A way of life. An interesting thing happened to him though, as he was introduced to the commandments & judgement of God. Somewhere in the conversation he concluded he was on his way to hell. The "great spirits" & the Great Holy Spirit don't mix. They will lead you in two different directions. One goes the wide path & the other the narrow. One to destuction the other to eternal life.

California Court Overturns Gay Marriage Ban

California's Supreme Court overruled against the freely elected ban on gay marriage (although rather than calling it a gay marriage ban, the law would better be defined as enshrining God's design for marriage), effectively halting the democratic process there. As the far left continues their attack on everything holy, the court ruled in a lawsuit 4-3 to overturn the law banning gay marriage. A law voted on by the people of California.

"It's about human dignity. It's about human rights. It's about time in California," San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, pumping his fist in the air, told a roaring crowd at City Hall. "As California goes, so goes the rest of the nation. It's inevitable. This door's wide open now. It's going to happen, whether you like it or not."

No, it's about human rebellion. It's about human wrongs. And, as the mayor stated, it usually starts, in this country anyway, in California, with someone pumping his fist at God, while the lost roar their approval. And the door is wide open, just as the wide gate in Matthew 7:13 is open that leads to destruction, whether we like it or not.

To be honest though, if Christians were doing what Jesus commanded them to in Matthew 28:19,20 the courts might not be an issue. If God's Word was preached fully & people were instructed to "Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins will be wiped out,"(Acts 3:19) instead of, "Let me show you how to have your purpose-driven best life now." perhaps this country could avoid the path of destruction it is going down.

"For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh." (Genesis 2:24)

"If the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?" (Psalm 11:3)

Ronnie Reagan Preached & the Hail Came Down at the Morgan County Prison Tent Revival

As the lightning, rain & hail poured down, prisoners moved swiftly to the makeshift alter Friday evening on the last day of the tent revival at Morgan County Prison. The Lord God Almighty added the special effects as Pastor Reagan preached repentance one more time. Pastor Ronnie said, "When Moses preached on the moountain, lightning ran along the ground like a serpent." Then, as if on cue, lightning flashed & thunder roared while men moved up to the front for prayer. You couldn't have planned it any better.
I spoke to a man who poured his heart out to me in remorse over having "taken five lives," that he wished he could take back. God can even save him. It is amazing how He works.

Planned Parenthood Presents Awards for Sin Promotion

I read where Planned Parenthood of Middle and East Tennessee (PPMET) will present awards tonight in Nashville. They are best known for promoting killing unborn children & sexual promiscuity. Unless they repent God will have another reward for them on Judgement Day.

Tag-Team Witnessing at Sandy Springs Park

When we saw a Maryville Police Department Officer lecturing some high school-aged kids at the Sandy Springs Park Wednesday evening we decided to hang around until the officer left & give the youths God's version of the Law. Our new friend in the Lord, Eric, joined Donnie & I. We had a lively discussion with about 15 youths, the biggest part of them having little, if any, church upbringing. You definitly can't just give them a "Jesus loves you." & hope they have any clue what that really means. So many of these people you feel as if you are giving them their first Bible lesson. Time is short. The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.

Witnessing for Christ in the Prison

I have to admit, going to the State Prison in Morgan County, Tennessee & looking two (large) convicted felons in the eye with no bars between us & saying to them "you are lying, thieving, blasphemous, adulterers and you have to face God on Judgement Day." sounds a little unnerving, but that is what happened Monday evening when I went to the tent revival with Pastor Ronnie Reagan & friends. We had a big tent (almost 40'x80')set up in the middle of the yard. While they were singing I got to wander away from the tent a little bit & pass out tracts & talk to some of the prisoners who weren't directly at the revival. I was kind of nervous but it turns out that when they are faced with God's Law they are just as helpless as the rest of us & maybe more understanding of His justice than most. As I was handing one man a tract he told me, "I'm good." meanimg he didn't want one. I was thinking, if you were good, you wouldn't be in here. Then he told me he was an atheist. I said to him that wouldn't do him much good on Judgement Day.
I hope to go back up on Friday so remember me, & especially them in your prayers. Jesus died for them also.

Green Meadow Church of God with Pastor Ronnie Reagan Hosting 2nd Morgan County Prison Revival

Monday May 5th will begin a revival at the Morgan County Correctional Facility. Pastor Ronnie Reagan will be the main speaker. We have set up a tent in the outside yard that will hold 300 people. I am going to try to join them on some of the evenings. It should be exciting. Please keep us in your prayers.

"Christianity Isn't Fun"

I was sharing the Gospel with two guys standing out back of Thunderworld tonight. one of them, named Tom, was particularly pleased wit how much he had lied & lusted, he wasn't quite as proud of his blaspheming & stealing but admitted he had done them more than enough. His friend tolg him he needed to "receive" Christ & Tom said he had received Him but he just couldn't stop doing all the stuff he was doing. He told me, "I'm sure there are people out there who can have fun being a Christian but to me it's not fun. I like to lie & drink & gaulk at women & cuss & do what I do." I told him "I'm not trying to get you to become a Christian because it is fun. Jesus told us it often wouldn't be fun. There would be persecutions, tribulations & trials. I'm telling you this because of where you will spend eternity. He admitted he was probably going to hell but he wasn't concerned about it. "It's all up to the man upstairs." he said. I asked him if he broke his arm would he go to the doctor & Tom said he would. I told him, "The reason you would go to the doctor is you don't want to face the pain of having a broken arm untreated. The reason your not concerned about hell is you haven't thought about the pain of it. Jesus said there would be weeping & gnashing of teeth, the flame is never quenched & the worm never dies." At that point he was looking for a way to get out of there. I don't think he had heard it quite like that before.

Some times hearing the truth is like getting a cavity fixed. It hurts but it has to be done.
