"What am I?"

Amazed at just the way this was answered and awed at the gravity and the realness of this post I repost it here. You know also some days I pray for a deep deep devotion to God the way C.J. Mahaney puts this. This was posted at the reformed evangilist website .. enjoy

When asked by Mark Dever, “What are you now that you have passed on your Pastoral leadership of Covenant Life Church to the guy you mentored?” C.J. replied:

What am I? Well, here is what I am. I am the worst sinner I know. And by the grace of God I am doing better than I deserve. For I deserve the righteous wrath of God because of my sin. I deserve to be punished eternally. But in the mystery of His mercy, God sacrificed and crushed His Son on the Cross–as my substitute–so that I might be forgiven of my sin and know God as my Father rather than my Judge. What am I? I am truly amazed by the grace of God. That’s what I am.

Of much lesser importance, I have the privilege to serve and lead Sovereign Grace Ministries in its mission to plant and support local churches. And I am especially blessed to be a member of Covenant Life Church, “the dearest place on earth.” — C.J. Mahaney, T4G Blog

I too am the worst sinner I know and by the grace of God I too am doing better than I deserve! What about you?

Go Witness Now

"I think a good rule of thumb to follow would be to presume the Lord wants you to share the gospel with everyone unless He leads you not to." Danny Lehmann

Interesting quote eh? Kind if hits you where it hurts doesn't it. It sure did me!! Please pray for me that I will start sharing the gospel with strangers and with friends more boldly!

ADHD

I read this and I thought it was hysterical! I took ritalin for a couple days due to some adhd symptoms. After taking it I was sick and couldn't think straight. After reading this post I feel better already.
The Reformed Evangelist

Hello… my name is Jeff and I have ADHD, better known as Arminian Deviance Hyper-Calvism Dissension. It has been 12 months since the last time I told someone to “take the first step and God will do the rest”. About 3 weeks ago I was righteously indignent toward a sister who mistakenly called me a Hyper-Calvinist because I was discussing Election. I haven’t been taking any Ritalin for my ADHD, instead I have sought the Great Physician for wisdom and humility. I also find sweet relief in reading and meditating on His inerrent Word. Witnessing has become much easier with ADHD and I am nearly cured of my outbreak of Finneyism. I don’t count decisions as notches on my belt anymore and I don’t ask people to raise a hand nor walk an aisle because I realize that salvation is wholly a work of the Holy Spirit. I no longer look for a public professions, instead I look for fruits of the Spirit and evidences of rebirth. Overall, I am glad that I’m ADHD…

Thank you Jeff for the humor.

verse of the moment

I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God. Ephesians 4:1

Just a couple things I see here that just impacts me right now are this. Paul says that he is a prisoner for serving the Lord. Can you imagine for a moment being arrested for sharing your faith? For doing for the Lord? Are we that serious about our faith? Then he begs us to lead a life worthy of your calling. What is your calling? What is all Christians callings? To share our faith with others? To tell people about Christ? And to take care of people? Deeper than that our calling could be to shine our light? To live a life that looks like Christ.
This all tells me that it is time to get serious.
