Email Rebuke and a River Drive
Good evening sisters!
Praise God for this day to serve Him!
Thank you sister for the scripture pictures:-)
Brother Jim and I had a lot of travel today so I have a few videos of it to share with you, here's one. All the glory to our Father.
Then as we were traveling later in the day we made a video for you about an email we received and brother Jim said it would be a good teaching moment for us all.
Below is the email with brother Jim's response marked by ***

Hi Debbie,
I don't know if you have ever seen a track called: "The Four Spiritual Laws"?
Law 1: God loves you and offers a wonderful plan for your life. (John 3:16, John 10:10)
Law 2: Man is sinful and separated from God. Therefore, he cannot know and experience God's love and plan for his life. (Romans 6: 23)
Law 3: Jesus Christ is God's only provision for man's sin. Through Him you can know and experience God's love and plan for your life. (Romans 5:8, 1 Corinthians 15: 3-6, John 14: 6)
Law 4: We must individually receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; then we can know and experience God's love and plan for our lives. (John 1: 12, Eph 2: 8,9, John 3: 1-8, Rev 3:20)
Before Christ, we live a self-directed life. After Christ, we live a Christ directed life. We surrender our pride, and make Jesus our boss.
I was bothered by the alter call at the concert, because it lacked a sharing of the Gospel, the bad news and good news, and a walking through of surrender, confession and making Jesus boss.
We can't have all the feel-good stuff, but forget the message of the gospel.
However, when we see something that is wrong, sometimes in our own self---we end up creating a different gospel.
-Like the holy spirit is going to come zap you, but you don't have to repent.
-Or, we can also make up new rules...that create a new religion. Like you must wear this, or eat that, or you must do church this way...
But, those things are not The Truth.
No other door can be created, whether a holy ghost worship service that zaps people without repentance, or we proclaim that others must keep our law in order to have abundant life.
We have to remember the tenants of how we become born again. But as we warn this generation, there must not be any of our own add-ons.
Your husband and you are on to something in regard to repentance. This generation is skipping that step in becoming saved.
I know some of you are probably asking..."Why would you put someone's email on the internet?"
My answer is this....if she's going to take time to write out all that false teaching, she may be doing it to others so we need to warn them, because we love her, her husband and all our other neighbors in the world that might be swept away in such heresy. We pray she repents.
We decided to keep moving down the road to another town instead of stopping for the night in the Wind River Canyon, as we have much work to do and to get ready for street witnessing in a busy tourist town in the other side of the mountains this weekend. I did make some videos of the canyon on our way through, you can find them on our video page HERE.
We've been there before, in fact HERE is a post I did on it and HERE is another one.
Praise God sisters for all the things we can do for our Father, each and every day He gives us. Let us rejoice in Him and do our good works that we were created for.
HERE is brother Jim's update.
Love to you all,
Sister Deb
And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
1 Peter 5:4-11
