The narrow road.

   I shared that the final words from God that pushed me to do this blog were: Are you publishing the Gospel? Well I followed in obedience to start the blog but let's make sure that I am publishing the Gospel.

   So what is the Gospel? Well, as I have proclaimed all questions here will be answered with the Bible. In Romans 1:16 it is written: For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Have you received the gift of Salvation? Do you know how? Again we look to the "Answer Key".

John 3:16-17: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

Romans 3:23: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Romans 6:23: For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 5:8: But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 10:9: That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

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

This week I have seen the example of how much the traditions of men and "church" can confuse people and there thoughts of how to receive Salvation. God makes the instructions plain to see and simple to do. He is not the Author of confusion (1 Cor 14:33). It is His will that ALL hear the message, understand it, and believe upon Him.

If you have not done so already, please call on the name of the Lord today. There are no special words to pray. Just speak from your heart. Admit the sin that is in your life and recognize that you are in need of a Savior. Believe that Jesus Christ was sent to Earth and lived a sinless life, but was crucified as payment for the sin of ALL men. And graciously ask to receive the gift of that precious blood that was shed...and you WILL BE SAVED!

When you pray and receive Christ please e-mail me at DearPW@ymail.com . I won't embarrass you, I just want to rejoice with you.

If you are already a Christian please take the opportunity of this blog to share the Gospel with your lost friends and family members.

These words are written in love and compassion for ALL of God's children. God bless you.

Satan is a lier and a loser...

Woke up to my first PW letter. This is more a letter of encouragement not one seeking advice. I forgot to mention those are always welcome!!!

Hello PW, 

Thanks you so much for following what the Lord has commanded you to do. I am so excited to see this idea and journey with the rest of you. I went to the first ever .Mom conference in Birmingham Alabama this past weekend, my first ever. I like you-- tried to talk my way out of it with endless excuses to myself and to God. I prayed about it and came to the conclusion that it wasn’t my mothering instinct coming out but Satan possibly not wanting me to go somewhere where I might be spiritually strengthened and grow more on my spiritual journey. I followed what the Lord led me to do and went, and grew so much in my relationship with the Lord. I was convicted in many ways of stuff I was doing wrong and then confirmed of stuff I was doing right. I commend you too for doing what the Lord would have you do, I wish you well and look forward to learning and growing on this spiritual journey with you.

Sincerely,

A Mother of Two

The bible instructs us to share our trials so that we may grow in unity:
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. James 5:16

Satan's M.O. is always to convince us we know better than God. God gave us the armour to protect us and help us defeat the devil. Make sure you put it on this morning.

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; Eph 6:13-18

Thank you Mother of Two for sharing and for tuning in on the blog. God bless you and your family.

In the beginning...

Jesus laid a vision on my heart for this blog and I have spent almost a week trying to talk Him out of it. The title of our Sunday night message... "Are you publishing the Gospel?" Here's your sign :)

Why do we turn to self-help books and motivational speakers? We subscribe to magazines and spend hundreds of dollars on videos. Most of the time to gain a new perspective and a clear vision on what is the "right" way to handle a circumstance. The real answers flow from the Author of our circumstances and lives.

Like the title of the blog states I am a preacher's wife...but I am also a helpless sinner. Filthy rags, but for the blood Jesus shed for me (and you) on the cross at Calvary. I too need to get back to the basics. God promises we can do all (handle all) through Him...again I say: THROUGH HIM. Through prayer and scripture God will reveal an answer for us.

So here lies the purpose for this blog. The vision: a "Dear Abby" if you will, but for us to seek knowledge from God not my human and fallible mind. I encourage you to travel this journey of growth with me. Together we will learn the ways of life as our Heavenly Father intended it. He already gave us the "How to..." book. Let us seek out the answers together.

I have created an e-mail account at DearPW@ymail.com . I will read your letters and post them on the blog with the Biblical advice that the Lord shares with me. The comment section will be available to viewers to post their Biblical perspective as well. Emphasis on the word Biblical. Comments will first be approved by me to weed out "trash". Please provide scripture references with your comments. There will be no limit on the topics discussed. God provided the answers to "it all" in the Bible, therefore we discuss "it all".

All letter writers will remain anonymous as well as myself :)
