www.jsm.org THE EVANGELIST NOVEMBER 2020 5 The Priceless Corner We have set aside this corner of The Evangelist to show God’s plan of salvation. If you are unsure where you will go when you die, please listen to what God has said in His Word:

1. GOD LOVES YOU! “For God so loved the world, that he gave His only begotten Son, you reached out and touched the Lord. The devil said, “I’m going to kill you,” that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). but notice he hasn’t done it because he can’t do it. He can’t do it. He can’t do it. 2. MAN IS A SINNER, AND SIN HAS SEPARATED HIM If he could, he would have a long time ago, but you’re still here shouting the FROM GOD “For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and praises of almighty God, changed by the power of God, by the power of the sinneth not” (Eccl. 7:20).

We’re that He might bring us to God ...” (I Peter 3:18). still here, and we’re touching most of this world by the power of almighty God. “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” The devil is telling some of you that your son, your daughter will never be (Acts 4:12). saved. I was talking to a man some time back and he mentioned two of my 4.

A.The answer is yes. There are all kinds of curses on people—on people who don’t know the Lord—and these troubles can destroy entire families, which leads some to believe in “generational” curses. Daily we hear of the damage: • “Down through the years, several of the men in my family—all unsaved—have committed suicide.” • “My great-grandfather was an alco- holic, so was my father, and now I drink, t o o.” WITH • “My temper gets the best of me. Is & this because my mother’s family was so Sister abusive?” A curse of some kind has been the com- mon lot of man ever since the garden of Swaggart Eden. Because of Adam’s sin, God placed a curse on the serpent and on the ground Q (Gen. 3:14, 17). He also placed a curse on Cain because he killed Abel: “And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s A10 NOVEMBER 2020 THE EVANGELIST Visit my website at www.francesandfriends.com | Find us on Facebook blood from thy hand” (Gen. 4:11).

They hadn’t failed the Lord in law was given, this was true in a sense as it regards original sin. Mankind, born in original sin, is automatically under a curse. In Genesis 3, the Lord told Eve He would greatly multiply her sorrow, and He told Adam, “cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life.” Some 2,500 years after the fall, the law of God was given to Moses, and it contained both blessings and curses. The blessings are found in Deuteronomy 28:1-14. The curses are found in Deuter- onomy 27:14-26. The world today pays no heed to the law of God, but whether people realize it or not, since the law was given, every human being is under the curse of the broken law.

THE STORY OF CALEB is a story of WE ARE ABLE TO faith. From the outset, we see his faith in action. He was selected to be a part of a campaign to spy out the promised land—a land given by God to the children Overcome of Israel for them to inhabit. When the twelve men arrived to spy out the land, they saw that the land was as the Lord had said it would be. It was a large land, flowing with milk and honey, but there was one major problem: giants in- habited the land. Out of the twelve men sent, ten men said that there was no way to defeat these giants. The walls were too large, the fortifications could not be pen- etrated, and the giants were too big. They cried that they felt like grasshoppers in comparison to these giants. These ten men, whomever they were, exhibited a defeatist mentality—a mental- ity that says God cannot give us the land. It was a mindset that believed that the gi- ants were too big, and God was too small. So many Christians today have that very same attitude. They look at what God has done for others and say that God would never do that for them. In reality, they are saying that the giant is too big, and God is too small.

SHOCKING! “I purchased the book, Rape of a Nation, thinking it was recently written and would explain our country’s dilemma today. When the book arrived, I was surprised to see it was written in 1985, the year I graduated from college, and questioned whether or not I should have purchased this book, as it wouldn’t be relevant to today’s issues. NOT TRUE! I started reading and was shocked at how wrong I was, and how totally unaware I had been of all the things taking place to undermine our youth and country, and to bring us to the place where we are today. I’m not even halfway through the book, but the more I read, the more I’m understanding how “This book is a must we got here, what’s going on, and by whom read for anyone who and why. This book is a must read for anyone wants to know all the who wants to know all the elements that have elements that have led us to this place of led us to this place of moral decline, etc. moral decline, etc.” What an eye opener!

As with all things that God has, they are obtained only by faith. True biblical faith always has its object in the cross of Christ. Why? It is because The Blessings this is where man’s covenant with God was cut. This is where the inheritance was OF THE LORD established.

As Christians, we are called to be witnesses to a lost and dying world. This charge was first given by Jesus to His twelve disciples. It was a charge that would become the foundation of their ministries once Christ returned to His Father. They were a city on a hill.

To say “thank you” seems to be a great understatement, but that is just about the best that we can do. I know that your giving and your prayerful support are strictly for the work of the Lord, but yet, without you, we simply couldn’t do what we are doing.

On the other side of that coin, so to speak, not many people can say that they have the privilege of being a part of this worldwide outreach, to open the door for the salvation of souls, and to have a part in that which is touching the world. As I said, not many people can say that, but you can.

For every person who says yes to Jesus, and every life that is touched by the power of God and turned around for something useful, you have a great part in it. Now, I want you to think about that for a moment. Not many can say that, but you can.

That means that you are helping to touch not only those in your own particular town or city but, as well, all over the world. It’s a staggering thought, and it’s something for which we should thank God every day of our lives for giving us this privilege. Again, I say thank you.
