It's a mistake I don't intend to make. Over half of the people who went forward in Graham's crusades either never truly got saved or will fall away in time to come. Could one mistake evangelicals make is the 'public invitation'?

I like Tozer's take on it when he told new converts and first time people who made professions to go home and live the message now that they've made their decision to follow Christ.

I've done horrible things my entire life. Would God forgive me?
Mourner, wherever you are
Wherever you are at the cross there is room
Tell your burdened hearts
Your burdened heart at the cross there is room
Tell it in the Savior's ear
Cast away your every fear
Only speak and He will hear

I should be dead. One day I decided it would be a good idea to hop myself up on a bunch of barbituates and go for a walk. They tried committing me saying I was suicidal afterward, but the reality was I was in a fog in my mind and tried walking across the street without looking. And BAM! One somersault in mid-air and a feeble attempt to run off from the scene of an accident, my adrenaline flatlined and the next thing I know the driver of the car was standing over me panicking, asking questions. one of which was if I was a Christian. Of course, I said I was. (Not having a clue what that even meant)

After the ambulance ride and stretched out on a gurney in an isolation room at the hospital they finally gave me a room (after not attending to me for at least two hours.) Next thing I know I was being visited by a deputy and was soon cuffed and stuffed in the back of a police car to be hauled off to the local insane asylum. Remember, I was "suicidal". The fight I gave the mental ward workers was epic though. I did not want that Thorazine shot in my butt. And I put up everything I had to prevent myself from getting it. In the end, I lost. But thankfully, no lasting effects of stiffness or involuntary jerking of body parts do I experience. See?

Listening to Misty Edwards this morning. Wrote this little diddle from inspiration.

A song to my Beloved
A song of our love covenant
At the quiet waters where He sought her
To the green pastures where she saw HIs laughter
Up on the mountains that ever seemed to go higher, higher, higher, and higher
Thru the valleys of temptation and sin
In the wounds He promised to mend
To the people whose cause He did defend
To whose cry He did attend
From whose hand she borrowed when asked to lend
To whose name she will call on now, forever, again, and again!

A sinner's lies
That cut me to the bone
Make it hard to leave you alone
To leave you here wailing in your wounds
I am God the Son. I am the Truth.
I am the Lord
I am the Lord
I am the Lord of all
____

There's too many people
Who claim my name they know
They saw me coming
But didn't see me go
They say they know my name now
But I know not theirs
This world is crazy
Filled with despair
But I am the Lord
But I am the Lord
But I am the Lord of all

Are you tired of fighting?
Tired of fighting?
Against the Lord of all?
--------------------------------------------------
There's a place from where I'm coming
You aint never been before
Noone of flesh nor blood can go there
That's why I'm knocking at your heart's door
This is what my love is for
----------------------------
I am the Lord
I am the Lord
I am the Lord of all
Are you tired of fighting?
Tired of fighting?
Against the Lord of all?

Had an encounter with one of my co-workers last night that was pretty sad. The last whistle went off to signify work was over and everyone could go home. Well, as my friend and I were walking off to the time clock, he confronts me to say that I couldn't go anywhere and that I had to wait for the supervisor to sign off on the work area. My friend automatically defends me and tells him to chill and enough was enough. Meanwhile I'm just kind of standing there a little taken aback at this dude's nerve.

He continues to rant to me and finally goes upstairs to tell the boss on me. Lol
Meanwhile I just clock out and walk away. The bad thing is my buddy told me this man is a professing believer and supposed preacher too.

Not last night. Not today either, devil.

The Holy Spirit's really been moving in me at work these past few nights. Had the opportunity to minister to some gal that lost her grandmother to death. And the fellowship with this other brother in the Lord has been good too. Not going to be there for very much longer though. But what God is doing and teaching me will last for an eternity. Danke, Lord. Giddy up
