Gratitude
"Knowing the fear of the Lord we persuade men." 2 Chro 5:11
I am grateful for what God has done for me. God wrote the 10 commandments in Stone showing us that the law is unchanging and that these rules where very important. They were important enough that he wrote them down himself. These rules are for our own good and it is good that we should obey them. Proverbs tells us that it will go well with those that obey the law. God is just and merciful. Since God is just he must punish law breaking where it it found. If you have ever broken one of the 10 commandments, lying, stealing, hating, lusting, taking Gods name in vain, making a god of your own liking then you will be guilty on the day of Judgement. God will not clear the guilty. God is merciful. There is only 1 way a God can be merciful and Just. God sent his son who lived a perfect life and gave up his life as a sacrifice. Jesus dieing on the cross is a perfect sacrifice and it is a payment for the law breaking of those that turn away from their sin and turn toward God.
It is like you are standing in a court of law and are guilty and God send his son to run into the court room and pay your fine. You would go free not because you were innocent or good but because your fine was paid. Your fine must be paid before you die. To get your fine paid you must see sin as wretched. You have to hate law breaking. You must turn away from your sin and turn toward God. This is called repentance and faith. If you turn from 1 sin to another sin then you are not free from that sin you just exchanged sin. If a person pays your fine they are going to tell you I just paid that fine do not do that again. This is exactly what God is saying to us. Stop breaking my law since I was kind enough to pay the fine in my own sons blood.
I am so gratiful for God paying my fine that I repented of my sin and now I am warning others of the Judgement to come and being people to recieve the mercy of God by repentance and faith as well.

First Night Pittsburgh PA
We handed out over 6,000 Gospel tracts. We talked to well over 50 people in conversations. People loved the Gospel tracts. We had people coming and getting more and people coming up and asking if they could have some. There were people down town from all over the world due to the Classic Hockey Game.
I talked to 1 young man who was from India and the conversation went so very well with him. The conversation started with him telling me he was not a good Person. I went through the Law with him anyway. I asked him if he ever told a lie and he said yes. I asked him if he had ever stolen and he said that he had when he was younger. I told him that would make him a thief. I asked him if he had hated or lusted and he said that he had. I told him that would make him an adulterous murder. He still said he was not a good person. I took him to court and showed him that he was going to stand before a holy righteous and just God and and his eyes got very big.
I asked him if God Judged him by the 10 commandments if he would be innocent or guilty and he did not know what the 10 commandments were so I had to explain that those were Gods laws and that they were written on his heart and so that is one way to know that the God of the Bible is the true God. I asked him if it was wrong to murder and wrong to steal and he said yes.
I asked him if it concerned him that if he died today he would end up in hell and he said yes. I took him back to the court room and told him that the judge was about to pass sentence and he had to come up with 1 million dollars to pay his fine or go Go to prison. Someone he has never met runs into the court room and tells him that he loves him so much that he wants to pay the fine. Then he could go free not because he is good, not because he is innocent or deserves to Go free but because the law was satisfied. I explained that this is what God had done for him. God sent his only son Jesus Christ to live a perfect life to die on the cross and took the punishment that he rightly deserved. I told him that if a person paid his fine afterward the person would probably tell him not to do that again since they paid the fine and that is what Jesus is telling us. He had to repent which means to turn away from your law breaking and confess them to God and trust in Jesus and Jesus only. I told him to read the Bible and obey what it said.
I asked him if he believed this and he said yes. I gave him a bag with a Bible, a ESV New Testament, the DVD "The Big Question" , The Good person Gospel tract and a CD with Hells Best Kept Secret on it. He told me he could not pay for it and I told him it was a Gift and he thanked me.
These encounters are worth the entire evening and the expense of it all.
I hope to see you out with us soon.
Please pray for us.
