Good Examples

Today I kept on thinking about stories I have heard about famous people who are very good examples and devoted Christians.

Some of the people I was thinking about for good examples are:

Mark Driscoll

Voddie Baucham

Ken Ham

Billy Graham

Franklin Graham and many others!

All of these men are godly,Christian leaders who should definitely be used as good examples! I have to admit I haven't been following their examples too much lately,but I definitely am going to try harder to be more like Christ! And I hope that everyone who reads this post will feel the same!

Paul Washer,The Determined Preacher

I know that I have put up other posts about great preachers before but lately I have been listening to Paul Washer, a very strong believer in Christ,and a firm God pleaser! So I am going to tell you a little bit about him. Paul Washer is about 52 years old and is the Founder/Director and Missions Coordinator of HeartCry Missionary Society. He is also a Southern Baptist itinerant preacher. He is a father of three and is married to Charo Washer and lives in Radford,VA.   Here is his picture.....
                                          

                             
And better yet, here is a short video by the HeartCry Missionary Society. It's called.....

                                                         THIS IS WAR!





I have always have wanted to be a Pastor and Paul Washer is a very godly example!!! Paul Washer has a heart for Christ,and even though in some of his sermons he may seem harsh and like he is judging humans,really he loves you and talks hard for Christ so you can believe in God!

  "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."-Joshua 1:9 (ESV)

Listen to the Lord

Always listen to God even when you don't feel like it. Do you remember the story of Jonah? He tried to run away when God told him to go to Nineveh. But he didn't listen and he got his punishment! .Take Saul for example,he disobeyed God by offering up the sacrifice which Samuel was suppose to offer up and he lost his kingdom for it!These are just two of the many stories of people in the Bible who have disobeyed God`s orders.
Serve God no matter what happens to you.  Remember to serve the Lord with all your heart, soul, strength, and mind!

Ecclesiastes 12:13-
"Everything has now been heard. And here's the final thing I want to say, have respect for God and obey his commandments."

What I've Been Doing Lately

I have been really busy these past few months which is why I haven't been updating my blog lately. And  some of those reasons are because I joined the football team in my neighborhood (with some of the kids here) called the "Gladiators". I really enjoy playing football! My friend, Anthony, comes over everyday to play sports with me and Ravi. He's really nice and a really great friend! Me and my family and some other families are doing very exciting work for God, which I'll be able to tell you more about later (in the next couple weeks). I've also been reading a lot of good books like the Bible, "Swiss Family Robinson", "Kit Carson", and "Robin Hood". We've been watching some good movies too that I've liked. Me and my siblings have joined some classes for art and Lego's and building thing out of wood. And all the little things I do everyday have also been keeping me busy! I've been trying to meet some new Christian friends and I'm praying for the non-Christian ones I already know, like the other kids in my neighborhood.

I hope all of you will accept Jesus into your heart like me and my family have! :)
