Things to think about

At church we had a Missionary Names Gilbert Tenorio. These are my notes from his service.

We read Acts 8:

There are 4 things that Man like and enjoy, but do NOT provide or give Salvation:
1> Authority and Power. WOW, to be a king or a president of a nation and have such power like that. It doesnt save us and we need to realize this. No single person on earth is above going thru Jesus to get to Heaven.

2> Wealth and Money...We all dream of having money, some of us would like to just have enough money to be able to live comfortably and not worry where our next mortgage will come from, but again, God wont accept the money of the wealthiest person for salvation. It doesnt work that way.

3> Religion and Being a member of a church. Altho the church will help guide you and point you in the right direction, they will not give you salvation.

4> Being well Educated. This will help you secure great employment, but will not save you

So what saves you from spending an Eternity in Hell? God's Grace saves you. Jesus died for your sins and he died for mine too. We have to believe that and have faith in Jesus as our Lord and Savior. "No one will come to the Father except thru Jesus Christ"

God wants his followers to do the following:
1> GO....Go where God wants you to go. If you get a calling from him, you should answer him, get up and GO!

2>TALK to the person God wants you to TALK to...If you get a feeling to speak to someone about their salvation, that is God and you need to speak to that person. Their salvation may be depending on your witness.

3> PREACH...Preach the Message God wants you to preach. God wants you to preach the Message about Jesus. You do not have to be a pastor to tell others about Jesus.

So what will you do? Go with me into the battle field and be armored with "the belt of truth", Your "Breastplate", "Sandals of Peace", "Shield of Faith", Salvations Helmet", and your "Sword of the Spirit!"
