The Ministry of Jesus of Nazareth.

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised."
Luke3:18

I grew up in a hellfire United Methodist church. Then Independent Baptist. Then Reformed Baptist.

Arnold Dallimore's George Whitefield biography has much of this information. There are 2 volumes, and they are very good.
How did you survive..

having problems with miss mac. Going to close and reopen. If I don't return, she passed on, and will hold a funeral. All invited.

I actually did not think it sounded like a boast more like sharing of information,

however, I really do not think it is helpful to compare what each of us does in the Lord, or to even ask.

At the judge seat of Christ everyones works will be on full display. If someone asks you a question and you simply answer it its not boasting lol. If people want to say that then go ahead.

My main target is younger generation including my own of those who go through depression, despair and dont know the lord. For them to accept the lord. They spend alot of time on social media, not only they can see the gospel but many others. You asked me what ive done and i answered, i asked you and you replied "I could tell you my works, and i could say it's better than yours", which says alot. People even liked that post which also says alot as well.

There's a website that you can download books like that one from Amazon guys. And all free. They would like donations even if just 5.00. But, it's for my sword, and e-sword software.

Will post that website site but I have to make sure I have it right. Brb.

At the end of the day...all glory goes to God dia Jesus.....any work, fruit, service is the result of Jesus in and through us as a living sacrifice.....exactly why we will cast our crowns at his feet......Unto Him be GLORY IN THE CHURCH THROUGHOUT ALL AGES WORLD WITHOUT END! He alone deserves to be praised and we are only low life bond slaves doing what we have been commanded to do!

I think Jesus earthly ministry should be a model for Christians to follow; as much as we are able. When you see some one of good report, whom you admire and trust, follow and support their ministry as well.

The Ministry of Jesus of Nazareth.

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised."

We liked UnderGrace's post because we understood what she was getting at, unlike you...

I really think you have missed the point of what I was trying to say, and my question to you was rhetorical,

I was just trying to make a point on what it teaches in Corinthians.

Thank your for sharing about your ministry.

I will not be discussing this further ;)

We all have taken a lot a lot of grief with this thread Prynce...it's easy to be defensive. Not saying UG is, but just forgive us. We aren't so bad once you get to know us.

What you are doing is great. We need more workers in the field.

We understood you very well enough :) He who did not understand went on to do exactly as you predicted...
