Oooooh...at our Bible study group, one of the participants often shares how 'we' do nothing to win people to the Lord.. 'we' are lame.. 'we' are this.. 'we' are that... 'we' need to 'really get back to the basics'
and so it goes.
Just about every week I share about something I've done.. someone I've spoken to.. some debate here.. some public act which stimulates discussion about Christian things.. but still 'WE'....grrrrr...
JOHNNY.. you are welcome in the name of freedom to have whatever order you wish, it is said of Jesus:
"Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God"— (John 1:12)
If an individual does not wish to receive Jesus, He is not going to force you or anyone to do so...but maybe one day you will surprise me when I maybe meet you in Glory.. I can tell you this much..when the Lord draws someone, it's difficult not to be drawn...and while we have our free will, if you are on the "list" in the book of life... you will be there :) I shudder to think of any other 'order' which people trust their destiny to.
