Gene starts so many great conversations. He takes the time to share the gospel and then goes into detail about how to be a Christian. Gene is gentle and persistant in sharing the truth with everyone that will listen.
CCN last night in Pottstown. Fellow soldiers Andre, his wife Laur, and special guest, all the way from the Dominican Republic, Angel. Also, Ken and my dear sister, Gina. Another CCN recruit, Garrett, was out but had to leave.
Quite an interesting night sharing the gospel with many worldviews. Shared the gospel with Self-professed Agnostics, pagans, Roman Catholics, and one who claims the “I AM” is in all of us. Earlier, children who kept coming back asking questions. But my conversation with the young Muslim brother stands out. For He was taught that God forgives as long as you perform works to amend for your sin. Explain that the true God of the Bible is holy. Because He is holy, he requires 100% obedience to His law in word, thought, and deed. No one can do that, hence the necessity of a Substitute who fulfills the righteous requirements of the law and the penalty of the sins we committed. We broke the law, Jesus paid the fine. Told him he needs to repent of his sin and cry out to God to save him. Moving moment.
One last thing. The Agnostic said that everything, laws, morality, and truth, originate from man. When asked if there’s absolute truth, he said no. “Is that an absolute truth claim”? He said no. Hmmm? In this brief, I pointed out to him that you can’t deny truth while positing truth. Self-defeating argument. Explained, truth comes from God.
If any would like to participate with us in the great commission (Matt 28), 7 pm, Pottstown at the clock on High st.
Below you can see new friends that Tom is out witnessing with in CA. How wonderful it is to meet Christians who share their faith. Tom has been blessed in his move to CA.
Below, Eddie is pictured sharing the gospel on the pier. It is always an encouragement to see him out witnessing,g and Tom gets to go out witnessing with him all the time.
This time of year is bittersweet for me. The semester is coming to an end, and graduation is approaching. Preparing for life as an adult is approaching, and many college students are still unsure about their future. Christian Collegian Network not only wants to help prepare the students for the future, but we are also greatly concerned about their eternal future.
I love watching these young people grow in Christ. CCN desires to evangelize the lost and disciple the found to teach them to evangelize the lost and disciple the found. I have seen this in action. It is a blessing and a privilege to serve Jesus in this organization.
Since we became an official campus ministry in January, we have been busy. We have held two Bible studies and an event, Apologetics on the Lawn, weekly. We set up on campus to share the gospel and give a reasoned defense for our faith. Watching my students interact with their peers, standing on the solid Rock of Jesus Christ, has been a wonderful time. They swim against the tide, and that takes strength that can only come from God.
These young people have shared the gospel with people from around the globe and many different religions. They know and trust the Word of God. His Word is accurate and sufficient.
The poet Virgil said, “The gates of hell are open night and day;
Smooth the descent, and easy is the way:
But to return, and view the cheerful skies,
In this the task and mighty labor lies.”
There is no escaping the gates of Hell unless you find shelter in Jesus Christ. You cannot enter the gates of Heaven until you have come to him in repentance and trust. The mighty labor of salvation fell upon the King of Kings. He made the way, He is the way, He is the Truth.
We will continue to meet via Zoom throughout the summer and in person as well. This is a hard time for me because I love these young people, and this is the time of year to bid them farewell, but this year I don’t. Daniel, who is graduating this year, will be an assistant campus leader next year while he interns with CCN for a year.
Until next time, Don’t waste your dash, go serve your KIng
Tim has expanded his ministry to include a few more college campuses. Please pray for all the students that hear his sharing the gospel each week.
