FOOD FOR THOUGHT – unknown 

Luther – The devil came to him, and brought him a long sheet containing a list of his sins, and Luther said to him, "Is that all?" "No," said the devil. "Well, go and fetch some more, then." Away went Satan to bring him another long list, as long as your arm. Said Luther, "Is that all?" "Oh, no!" said the devil, "I have more yet." "Well, go and bring them all," said Luther. Then it was a very long black list.  They say it would have gone round the world twice. Then Luther said, "Write at the bottom of them, 'The blood of Jesús Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin!'" It does not matter how long the list is when you write those blessed words at the end of it.

(1 John 1:7-8)  "The blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.  If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us."

 "I'll never forget when I found out God wasn't mad at me anymore."
Pastor Donnie Bell

As we have opportunity to preach or to witness to someone, it is not God honoring to tell them that God loves them and Christ died for them. The word of God and our Lord Jesus Christ gives us what we are to say, "Except ye believe I Am He ye shall die in your sins."  "He that believeth on the Son of God hath life; he that believeth not the wrath of God abideth on him."  To be without Christ is to be without God and without hope in this world again, "God is angry with the wicked everyday." "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature, he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved, he that believeth not shall be damned." "Except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish." "God commands all men every where to repent, because he hath appointed a day in which he shall judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained." These are just a few of the things that sinners need to hear and we must be faithful to tell them that Christ Jesus is the only way God can be approached and the only One by Whom God deals with the sinner. 

As Brother Scott Richardson once said; "God will not be spoken too nor will he speak to any man except through Jesus Christ."  Oh, how I remember the weight of my sins, and God's wrath against my soul,  it struck fear to my heart, and I tried to get on God's good side by my  works, by my sincerity . . . but my burden grew heavier instead of lighter. But thank God, someone told me about Christ bearing my sin in his own body on the tree. I thought, "Did he really do that for me?"  When God gave me faith to believe on Christ, all the condemnation I felt was taken away. I'll never forget when I found out God wasn't mad at me anymore.  What I am saying is this, a soul will feel the weight of sin before he will know the forgiveness of sin, and he will feel the condemnation of God before he will know the acceptance of God. What about God's elect? No man has any reason to believe he is one of God's elect and one for whom Christ died until he repents and believes on the Lord Jesus Christ. And until that happens all he can expect is the "indignation and wrath of God" against him for their sin and unbelief.

CALL TO WORSHIP
William Hammond  1745

Lord, we come before Thee now,

In Thy presence humbly bow;

Grace, O Lord, for grace we cry,

Grant us each a rich supply.

Sweet the solemn hour of prayer,

Sweet to praise our Saviour there,

Where the Saviour is the theme,

Where we meet and sing of Him.

Send a message from Thy Word

That may joy and peace afford;

Let Thy Spirit now impart

Full salvation to each heart.

Grant that those who seek may find

Thee, our Lord, supremely kind;

Heal the sick, the captive free;

Let us all rejoice in Thee.

(Tune: "I Am Coming Lord To Thee")

(Psalms 86:3-5)  "Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.  Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift
up my soul.  For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee."
