I have made you a light for the Gentiles,
that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.
That is acts 13:47
I'm still struggling on how to bring Christ to my Jewish friend, I'm going to plan another meeting with him soon, I just find it really hard to bring up Christ how to turn the conversation to Him. I don't want to offend him and I don't know that much about the traditions of the Jews, but I do know that there will be a place for the Jews and that God is not done with them...
If you have any books I should read please let me know...
Short today....

I need that daily renewal, coming back to Christ daily.
Derrick
In Job 12 we see Job talking to his 3 friends, who are adamant that Job committed sin. Job here says that this has been done by God, but he never sinned.... i find it beautiful in verses 13-following,
"With God are wisdom and might; he has counsel and understanding. If he tears down, none can rebuild; if he shuts a man in, none can open. If he withholds the waters, they dry up; if he sends them out, they overwhelm the land. With him are strength and sound wisdom; the deceived and the deceiver are his."
We have a God that is all knowing and all powerful, he loves me so much that he sent his Son to die on the cross for me! CHRIST DIED FOR ME! My past sins my future sins, the sins I don't even know that I commit on a daily basis... He knew what was going to be my choice in this life... He knew I would choose sin over him for the first part of my life it took me 26 years to realize that the only hope for my life was Christ and his shed blood. His blood that washes me whiter than snow (side note... snow is dirty it starts with a spec of dust that is frozen over,) HE WASHES me cleaner than the beautiful snow. I push him away, even now. I don't do it on purpose. It happens with a thought here and a lustful look there. But it still happens, I push my God away on a daily basis... well my conviction is to do as Job did in the beginning of his book...to offer up my sins to Christ on a continual basis thus bringing me back into a continual habitual relationship with Christ.
I need prayers for this, I need accountability too...
