*This is my pastor preaching following immediately after a wedding. The couple wanted their unsaved family to hear the gospel.
This song called "If We Are the Body" by Casting Crowns really speaks to me. I first heard it when our church was showing all the missionary works our church and fellowships sent out. I love the focus that is there. I'm so happy that the money doesn't go towards a big massive, beautiful church building or hundreds of programs. Instead, the money goes towards sending new works into the nations of the earth or here in the states. Our church just sent another couple to Bombay, India. We've sent out others. Whether you are a missionary, a pastor, or a disciple of Christ, this song would touch you because that is where our hearts are. Not in how much money we can make, or the best clothes we can have, or the best house. The bible says "where your treasure is, there will your heart be also". This song spoke to me because sometimes it's not good enough to just sit back and hope to be a light to others. I am so happy that someone came to my husband's door before we met and shared with him God's love and of the need to repent. He gave his life to Christ and a little later we met. I would've only married someone who loves Christ so what would've happened if no one came to his door? I wouldn't have this sweet family. :)When Jesus was leaving his disciples, he said "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature". Not just to hope that people know you're a Christian. Tell everyone about Jesus! Your coworkers, your spouse, your family, your friends, strangers, anyone! Whether you're on the phone, standing in line at the store, or anywhere. Jesus loves them and they need to know too. :)

That is so wonderful, how much more can we love our family than to share Jesus with them!
SHARING THE GOSPEL OF LOVE AT A WEDDING? SOME PEOPLE WOULD THINK THAT'S NOT NESSESARY. THE FACT IS THAT GOD CREATED US AND GAVE US THE PRIVLEDGE OF MARRIAGE. AND HIS ULTIMATE LOVE FOR US WAS EXPRESSED ON THE CROSS. GOD CREATED EVE FOR ADAM, NOT STEVE FOR ADAM. AND THIS SOCIETY IS BREAKING DOWN BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE COMPROMISING IN MORALS, AND THE CHILDREN ARE THE ONES PAYING FOR IT, MOST OF ALL. HOMOSEXUALITY IS AN ABOMINATION, ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE. AND I HAVE FRIENDS THAT REPENTED OF THAT UNGODLY LIFE STYLE AND WHERE COMPLETELY DELIVERED, AND TODAY LEAD NORMAL LIFES. THE BIG LIE IS THAT HOMOSEXUALS CAN'T HELP IT, BECAUSE THEY ARE BORN LIKE THAT. I THINK THAT A CURSE CAN BE PASSED TO YOUR CHILDREN IF YOU ARE INVOLVED IN IT. AND SO THE CHILD THEN WOULD HAVE THAT BATTLE. BUT IT ALL STARTS SOMEWHERE, AND IT'S USUALLY BECAUSE OF A MOLESTATION. IF YOU KNOW ANYONE THAT THINKS THAT THEY ARE MEANT TO BE THAT WAY, PLEASE LET THEM KNOW THE GOOD NEWS THAT THEY CAN BE DELIVERED AND SET FREE. THE BIBLE SAYS; THAT HE WHO THE SON SETS FREE, IS FREE IN DEED. JESUS IS COMING BACK SOON, NOW IS THE TIME TO REPENT! I'M PERSONALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO HIS COMING, BUT FEEL FOR MY LOVE ONES. AND BECAUSE THEY KNOW THE TRUTH, THEY ARE NOW RESPONSIBLE TO RESPOND. THE MIDDLE EAST IS IN AN UPROAR AND THAT'S ONE THING THAT JESUS CHRIST MENTIONED WOULD HAPPEN BEFORE HIS COMING. I PRAY THAT THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW GOD'S FORGIVENESS, WOULD TURN AWAY FROM SIN, AND GIVE THEIR LIVES TO JESUS CHRIST. ANOTHER THING IS THAT FOR SOME REASON PEOPLE CAN BELIEVE THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO CHURCH TO BE A CHRISTIAN. JESUS ALSO SAID TO NOT FORSAKE THE GATHERING TOGETHER IN THE LAST DAYS, BECAUSE THERE WILL BE PARRALESS TIMES. AND MENTIONED ALL THE THINGS THAT WOULD HAPPEN. I KNOW THAT BECAUSE I'M A PART OF A CHURCH THAT HAS A PASTOR THAT PREACHES THE GOSPEL. THAT IT'S KEPT ME ON TRACK. AND THE FELLOWSHIP WITH OTHER BELIEVERS. AND ON TOP OF THAT. ALSO, THE ACCOUNTIBILTIY TO OTHERS. JESUS KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING WHEN HE INSTRUCTED THE DISCIPLES. AND OUR CHURCH IS A PATTERN OF THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH. THANK GOD! AND I'VE BEEN A PART OF THAT MOVEMENT FOR MANY, MANY, YEARS....HOPE YOUR A PART OF A CHURCH THAT'S REACHING THE WORLD WITH THE GOSPEL OF GOOD NEWS.
