If you are truly being sent by the Lord of glory to preach JESUS CHRIST in Mexico, and you have sound doctrine and believe in the doctrines of grace, and have proven effectiveness in evangelistic ministry, please consider teaming up with us to reach Guadalajara with the Gospel.
Church Planting in Guadalajara
Dear brethren, we are undertaking a church planting effort in the city of Guadalajara, Mexico.
Change in Blog Location
Dear blog followers, As you know, I haven’t kept up with this blog like I should. It takes time to sit down and write something and I just haven’t been taking the time to write lately. But seeing that there are so many wonderful resources online which promote biblical truth, I have started another blog [...]
God’s Free Mercies -Thomas Brooks
“His tender mercies.” Psalm 145:9 “The multitude of His mercies.” Psalm 106:45 It is God’s free mercy which every day keeps hell and my soul asunder. It is God’s free mercy which daily pardons my sins. It is God’s free mercy which supplies all my inward and outward needs. It is God’s free mercy which [...]
The Conclusion… All else is vanity
Come Lord Jesus!
Update
Meanwhile, since we’ve returned here to the city of Guadalajara, we’ve been busy preaching and teaching the Word of God and doing the work of evangelism. God has opened some doors and we are beginning to step into a new season of ministry here if the Lord permits. A brother is considering moving down with us to co-labor with us for the glory of God in this dark city, and we are praying for the Lord to provide the means and support for him to live here.
Nicodemus Came by Night -John 3:2
We are told that Nicodemus came to Jesus by night. The reason we are told this is obviously because Nicodemus at this time didn’t want to face the shame of openly associating with Jesus. Most of his fellow Pharisees were growing increasingly hostile toward Christ, and they quickly despised anyone who associated with Him. Nicodemus would obviously want to avoid such a taint to his spotless reputation, and to avoid losing all the recognition and honor and religious achievement he had earned for himself. Note, the more a man has (religion, honor, achievement, wealth, power), the more he has to sacrifice to become a follower of Christ.
A Man Named Nicodemus -John 3:1
It seems that this man, Nicodemus was not just any ordinary Jew. He was a man of zealous religious devotion, committed to the Law of Moses and to upholding the truth of God in Israel (or so he thought). He was not your average run-of-the-mill Jew, but he was a man that no doubt far exceeded the common Jew in his religious achievements, capabilities and public recognition among the people.
The New Birth -John 3:1-8
John 3:1-8 – There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: (2) The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. [...]
Moved with Compassion
Many times we should be lamenting instead of laughing, fasting instead of feasting, mourning our own sins rather than scorning the faults of others, suffering to carry the Gospel to the lost rather than having a merry time in selfish, fleshly entertainment. Have we no sense of this compassion that was in our Lord which drove Him to go to the cross to bleed?
