Nehemiah 9:6 (NASB 95 ed.)
“You alone are the Lord.
You have made the heavens,
The heaven of heavens with all their host,
The earth and all that is on it,
The seas and all that is in them.
You give life to all of them
And the heavenly host bows down before You.”
The other day I posted on my Facebook page that I had an amazing privilege, a God-ordained conversation with two of the residents who live at my apartment complex. I was planning on leaving early and not spending the whole day at the pool, but God had other plans.To make a long story short, God gave me the chance to speak to an agnostic couple. Although they held this view, the questions they asked, revealed their deep desire for truth.
We talked about everything from being born gay, who I was in my "old life" (being bi-sexual, a drunk, a sexual deviant, angry, addicted to porn, and more), abortion, and who God and Jesus are. They questioned if Jesus was really who He said He was and was the only way? There must be more ways, right? Excellent questions and engagement we had. I spoke boldly in TRUTH, however, God filled me with understanding, grace, and LOVE that only God could give.
I used the passage in Nehemiah this week because it clearly states there is only one God. There is only one way to the Father. Jesus said in John 14:6
I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.
They mentioned how they feel like they're good people. I stated by whose bar are we setting that? If it's by our own, then of course we deem ourselves righteous. However, that bar was set by Christ. We have to compare ourselves to a sinless, perfect man, who shed His innocent blood for the guilt of the world.
Romans 3:10 says,
Romans 3:10 says,
as it is written, “THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE;
God alone is Lord. God created, although it seems wicked and lawless, this planet we live on. It was good before the fall. God said it, I believe it!! However, the fall of man is why it is the way it is currently. Satan is the 'god' of this world. The great news is God WILL renew it all one day.
My hope and prayer to ALL those professing Christ, you will get out there and reach the LOST. People need the Lord. They have become hopeless and lost.
It’s not up to the pastor to spread the “good news”

…and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.” (Acts 1:8)
Maybe today saints.
However, maybe today you will be bold and courageous and seek those who are lost. Time is soon to close on the church age!!
