Hi beloved. I am new here.

Hello! I am also new here…have lots of questions and can’t wait to chat with someone about my experiences and thoughts!

Hello Jim! This is a great pleasure to meet you. How do you get stubborn souls who lead good live believe in Christ? People I know think this is the best, they are financially sound and living pretty. My heart goes out to the poverty, yet this is what I witness. I am a restaurant owner, successful, and I am with the Lord. I surrendered my heart to Jesus Christ! But I am confused to how to get others to believe.

Hello Jim. I too am a Christian author. I thought I'd share. I am not a universalist but I am a Christian who believes in the universal salvation of all of the world throug Jesus Christ.

“Without Doubt” is the creation of published author Bill Whitmire.
Whitmire shares, “There is no doubt about it, God’s purpose is to save the world and He has a plan to accomplish it in Christ. Everyone who believes Him seeks understanding without biases. Anyone who denies him is the Antichrist.
“Praise God that He will save every soul that we love. Praise God that He will save every soul that we despise. Praise God that He will save us all. Praise God that His justice is the salvation of an unjust world. Praise God that His mercy, and His grace cannot be compromised by the sins of men.
“He made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment— to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ. In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will. (Eph. 1:9–11 NIV)”
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Bill Whitmire’s new book is a compelling personal Bible study.

That is not your job.

Jesus wants to save as many as he can….isn’t it my duty to help Jesus and talk to others, spread the word, teach them as I am taught?

It is always helpful to build up your apologetics, the ability to present a persuasive position and live out your beliefs is very powerful.

Cross Examined on YouTube is very good.
Paul did state come "let us reason" together.
I was persuaded by a powerful solid position, we as Christians have truth on our side.

Have you ever gotten so tired that you become unfocused? I hope he forgives me for when I do.

Hello Joe, do you mean "tired" because of a general lack of sleep, or "tired" from being frustrated by your work as His witness (because you are not seeing the results that you'd like to see yet)?

Thanks

God bless you!!

I do.

Yours is a particularly tough business (especially as both chef AND owner). The Lord knows what you are facing each day at work, so I do not believe that this is something that you need to ask forgiveness for (of course, this is something that you need to discuss/confirm with the Holy Spirit).

Hopefully some balance will be found again as we continue to get further away from the pandemic (and everything that resulted from it). I know that restaurant employees have been unreliable over the last couple of years. Has this been generally true at the management level too (such that you cannot count on people to be there for you in that capacity either)?

Praying for you about this.

God bless you!!

Extremely true, most people on this planet have given up. They don’t want to work. I also witness that with this laziness comes laziness in faith, they simply don’t believe. They do not worship our Lord, Jesus Christ and simply do not acknowledge Him. It’s so unreal, yet incredibly true, like some kind of horror film. I pray for these souls that they will come to the Lord for direction. We all need it, not just them. Jesus was scorned and mocked and made fun of at times he spoke of God, this is exactly how I feel when I speak of God. People take it so lightly and actually laugh at me as if I might be unstable. My faith is strong, my heart swells when I speak of Him, I feel honestly feel Him in my heart. I wish those that don’t can experience my love for Christ. It is so easy to be evil on this planet, yet for me it is so easy to be good, even if I am surrounded by evil.

Ecclesiastes 11:1-6 KJV
Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.
[2] Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.
[3] If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be.
[4] He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.
[5] As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.
[6] In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.
