As a Christian, what do you do when you randomly meet a person who does not believe in God? One who argues that he does not want to be told by God what to do? One who believes in choice?
This is a very interesting conversation between Evangelist Ray Comfort and Sergio as Ray shares the Gospel with Sergio down in Huntington Beach, California.
I really like conversations like this as we are called by God to share the Gospel of Christ. Romans 1:16 says “For I am not ashamed of the gospel [a]of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes.”
The Great Commission 16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them. 17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go [a]therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” [b]Amen.
Matthew 28:16-20 NKJV

John Bevere of Messenger International speaks about this very important topic of Speaking in Tongues. Not all people who call themselves Christians are new to this gift and some have not experience and had any manifestation of the gift of tongues. The Bible speaks clearly about this gift. John Bevere presents this topic in a simple way. Pay attention how speaking in tongues operates and praying that you will experience first hand how to speak in tongue.

Bible Verses on Speaking in Tongues
When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. Acts 2:1-4
And when Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began speaking in tongues and prophesying. Acts 19:6
Therefore, my brothers and sisters, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues. But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way. 1Cor 14:39-40
If any speak in a tongue, let there be only two or at most three, and each in turn, and let someone interpret. But if there is no one to interpret, let each of them keep silent in church and speak to himself and to God.-

Francis Chan Quotes
“But God doesn’t call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust Him so completely that we are unafraid to put ourselves in situations where we will be in trouble if He doesn’t come through.” – Francis Chan
“We need to stop giving people excuses not to believe in God. You’ve probably heard the expression ‘I believe in God, just not organized religion’. I don’t think people would say that if the church truly lived like we are called to live.”- Francis Chan
“It is true that God may have called you to be exactly where you are. But, it is absolutely vital to grasp that he didn’t call you there so you could settle in and live your life in comfort and superficial peace.” – Francis Chan

You were about to enter your Church on a typical Sunday morning. You noticed a homeless man sitting on your church’s doorsteps. What would you do? Would you simply walk straight inside your Church and pretend that you didn’t see the homeless man? Would you walk to this homeless man and make a conversation with him? Would you offer him a food or drink? Would you go and speak to him and if you could pray for him? Would you invite him to go inside your Church?
This what Pastor James exactly did to test his flocks on how they would react to the situation. He dressed up as a homeless man to the surprise of the congregation when he entered to do his Sunday preaching. Watch this interesting video and find out how his flocks respond when they saw him as a homeless man in front of their church.
Matthew 25: 31-44 New King James Version
31 “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the [c]holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. 33 And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’
37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’
41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’
44 “Then they also will answer [d]Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
