Come To Me

Romans 10:13 ÔÇ£For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

I thank God for the meaning of the word, "Whosoever." That word included me and all that will accept the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior. Thank God, He included me!

This very description of those whom the Lord will save is clearly denied by Calvinist. But I ask you, isn't it amazing that all Calvinist are included in their TULIP belief, that God has predestined some people to be saved and some that will never get the chance to be saved.

I thank God for His Word that clearly states that the Jesus came to the World that the WORLD might be saved, John 3:17.

Believe me when I tell you, that there is no short supply of the Grace of God to forgive man of their sin and save them, but there have been, are now, and will be men that will not come to the Lord, they will not confess their sinful way and make Jesus Christ Lord of their life.

I read a story where an atheist barber took a preacher through the city slums to prove his point. The barber made a remarked, "This is why I cannot believe in a God of Love. If He is kind as you say, why does HE PERMIT all this poverty, disease and sin? How can HE allow these poor people to be addicted to drugs and other character destroying habits?"

The Preacher went silent until they met a man who was a drug addict, an alcoholic, and especially dirty, smelling really bad. His hairs hung down on his shoulders and the stubble covered his face. Then the Preacher said, "YOU ARE NO BARBER AT ALL, or YOU would not permit a man like that to continue living in this neighborhood without a haircut and a shave!"

The atheist barber, very upset at the Preacher's statement replied, "Why blame me for that man's condition? I can't help it if he's like that. He has never given me a chance! If he would only come to my shop, I could fix him up and all for FREE!"
The Preacher just LOOKED at the barber and said, "Then don't blame God for allowing these people to continue in their evil ways when He has sent His Only begotten Son to die for them, when God has constantly invited them to come, be saved and then He would deliver them."

The barber GOT THE POINT!
