Tonight The Lord Has Dealt Kindly With Me

What a night that I had tonight! I'm tired, its 1:18AM and I ought to be going to bed now....But I must write about tonight, the Lord has been gracious to me, even tonight. I met with Malcom and 6 others tonight. Angelo and Elias were not here this week, though the Lord supplied 6 others, so there was 8 of us tonight, gathered in His name. I met up with Malcom and 2 others just after 8PM tonight. We prayed for about 10 minutes and we left for the beach.

As we got their, others joined us. Kay, Malcom's wife came tonight again and I was happy to see her back from Minnesota. Tonight there was a huge festival going on, so there were mass amounts of people, not like in the past month. We found a suitable place to preach and Malcom began to preach. Jose, preached for the first time in Spanish, with much passion. I couldn't understand a word he said, but I could hear the passion he preached with. As a old saint used to say, "Preaching is not a profession, its a passion."

After Jose preached, I'm glad to have been given the opportunity to be made a fool in the sight of men and I'm thankful for it. God gave me the grace to preach once again. I'm thankful to my God, who is my God, indeed.

I spoke with a girl about certain ministers of the Bible. She told me that we ought not to be judging men of God, she seemed sincere to me, she said it is dangerous to speak against them. I agreed, yet, should we not discern their teaching? Should we not "know them by their fruits"? As a sincere little one, discern teaching! Discern a pastor! Discern a church! Know a godly person, by their fruit!

She became angry with me, for making a judgment over this certain minister's way of telling fallen man the gospel of Jesus Christ, which is vital if fallen man is to be saved. If a minister preaches the gospel, but lightly glances over sin in his presentation of it, he lacks a correct understanding of how to preach the gospel. There is a correct way to preach the gospel and there is a false way to preach the gospel. You are not dealing with child's play, but with people's soul's. To learn how to preach the gospel correctly visit:

Way Of The Master

Tonight, the Lord has been gracious and very kind to me.

"Man's chief end is to glorify God,
and to enjoy him for ever."

Yo Paul!

It's Kevl from On My Walk. (Bongo5HH)

Love this post. God is good beyond measure isn't He?

The idea of "touching" a minister of God is something I have to study. I have done this in the past, and it has resulted in great pain.

I'm very "fearful" when I speak of Pastors now. It's important to judge but not condem.
