HAVE YOU TRIED TO WIN THEM???

Your family and friends will die and go to the lake of fire forever if they are not saved before they die or before the Lord Jesus comes. You can meet a need that no other person can perform if you will do it.

Winning souls to Christ is of more value than gaining the whole world.


There are many ways to reach your family and friends.


First, go to them with God’s plan for being saved by believing His Word.


Second, give them the plan of Salvation in a gospel tract form.


Third, take them with your to Church where the Word of God is preached and souls are saved.


Fourth, write out the plan of Salvation in a letter. They will read it.


Fifth, tell them how and when you were saved.


Sixth, spend much time in prayer for each one. Give them such scriptures as --



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 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:


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 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

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



These verse are very effective if you will write them out and give them to your family and friends.


Remember, you will lead none to Christ if you do not try.

Get started today.

DON’T WAIT ‘til the Hearse Hauls You To Church

- if you do.




1. You will go regardless of the weather.


2. You will go regardless of how your family feels.


3. You will go regardless of the condition of your body.


4. You will have beautiful flowers but you won’t enjoy them.


5. Regardless of how good the singing, you won’t enjoy it.


6. Regardless of what the minister may say it will do you no good.


7. You will go to the altar but you will not pray.


8. You may have a great need but no one will be able to help you.


9. You will never be able to attend church again.


10. There will be relatives and friends there but you will not worship with them.


11. You will go regardless of how many hypocrites are there.



12. You will go regardless of how much you are needed at home or on your job.


The Pastor would rather help you now than try to console your lived ones if you die without God. So make it your choice to go to church while you have a choice.

AFTER THEIR KINDS

How wonderful, your dog has just had puppies! But do you now have to sort through the litter and make sure there are no baby giraffes or kangaroos?


In God’s account of creation in Genesis 1 we repeatedly read that both plants and animals were created to reproduce “after their kind.” Genesis 1, in speaking about the creation of plants, repeats three times in just two verses that they are to reproduce “after their kind.” We see the same phrase repeated later in the chapter when animals are created.


Why does God stress this principle? Even before creation God knew that man would eventually sin and then seek to hide his responsibility by trying to explain things without a Creator. God knew that this idea of evolution would capture the faith of millions over the history of the world.


And so He stresses what our experience shows so that He might be harder for men to hide from All things do reproduce after their kinds. And despite evolutionists’ strong faith in evolution they cannot offer on e established scientific fact to explain how one kind of creature might eventually make a completely different kind!

Old Paris Law Still Stands: No Pants for Women

1800s rule prohibits ladies from 'dressing like men'


Newser) – Turns out fashion-forward Paris has some rather retro regulations. Namely, a ban on women wearing pants. It's the type of law associated with the Sudan, not the Champs-Elysées, but more than 200 years after it was enacted by the city's police chief, the law stands. But today's cops may have a tough time enforcing it: Trousers are mandatory for policewomen.


The rule has survived repeated attempts at repeal. In 1892, the Daily Telegraph notes, it was "relaxed" such that trousers were permitted "as long as the woman is holding the reins of a horse." In 1909, female cyclists were declared exempt. In the 1960s and again in 2003, people tried, but failed, to overturn the ban. So, law-abiding ladies, when in Paris, stick to skirts.

AP poll: Family dinner survives, with distractions

WASHINGTON DC - Pass the gravy -- plus the phone and the remote control. It's dinnertime in America.

Between the blare of the TV, the ring of the phone and Junior texting his buddies under the table or from the couch, the modern dinner comes with a heaping helping of distracting bells and whistles, an Associated Press-iVillage Food poll found. Yet the sit-down, home-cooked family meal is an enduring tradition. And not just on Thanksgiving or other special occasions. Most nights, most families manage to eat together, the survey found.

Democrats and Republicans do. Devout churchgoers and never-goers do. Childless families and those with kids are about equally apt to have a regular family meal. So are families from the suburbs and the country.

Altogether, more than 60 percent of those who live with families said they sat down with family for dinner at least five nights in the past week. Home-cooked meals were the norm, not just takeout and the like.

Hand-me-down recipes determine the menu more than any other source. Although more than half in the poll have cooked something from an online recipe and TV shows, such digital delights lag recipes clipped from newspapers and magazines, and none of that holds a candle to recipes passed on from family elders.

So far so good, painter Norman Rockwell, that celebrant of the idealized old-fashioned life, surely would think. But family bonding has some competition when people are chowing down.

Television is a constant dinner companion for a quarter of families, the poll suggests. More than half have it turned on more often than rarely.

Half are pestered by phone calls -- including, it must be said, from the occasional pollster like the ones who did this survey.

Texting or e-mailing on a cell phone is always going on over dinner for five percent of families. It's more than a rare intrusion for 15 percent. Nearly 40 percent have the radio or stereo going, at least occasionally.

Surveys over recent decades have generally found the American dinnertime to be hanging in as family time despite the growth of households with both parents working. It might be harder to pull off these days but, in the view of Don Wells, 59, of Phenix City, Alabama, it's not that hard.

"Cooking is not rocket science," said Wells, a government contractor who is retired from the armed forces. He and his wife, Mary, have dinner together every night, along with kids, grandkids or "anyone else who happens to be in the house at meal time."

Cell phones don't interrupt. "Not in this house," he said. But the TV is sometimes on.

In West Chicago, Illinois, Judit Mohai, 34, is a musician who usually cooks for her husband and kids, ages 2 and 5, four days a week. She's working the remaining three nights. The family eats in the kitchen, where there is no TV, and no one has a cell phone.

"It's very important because we're sitting together," she said. "I did it with my family. My husband did it with his family. It's just kind of normal."

"It just comes naturally and it works," she went on. "It's not like we have teenagers in the house, so as long as we can do it, we do it."

For those who can't pull a family dinner together regularly, it's most often because someone is working too late. Almost one in 10 family members surveyed had no dinners with family in the past week.

Major reasons for offering prepared food instead of a meal from scratch were that the cook was too busy or too beat.

Shelly Fry, 35, a computer programer in Truro, Iowa, says she sometimes wonders how others with full-time jobs manage to cook so much. Her husband, T.J., has an electrical contracting business; their kids are 13 and 14. They cook about half their dinners.

The deli counter, a precooked chicken at the grocery store and takeout are frequent saviors. Dinner is often at 6:30 p.m., with the TV usually on in the background. The kids share one cell phone, are not allowed to text at all and can't take calls at dinner. "My kids are deprived," she said wryly.

Among the poll's findings:


- Once in the past week, 20 percent of those polled had dinner at a sit-down restaurant and 27 percent ate dinner at a fast-food place.


- Women are still doing more of the cooking. Just 51 percent of men said they make a home-cooked meal at least sometimes, compared with 71 percent of women.


- 60 percent of independents, 61 percent of Democrats and 65 percent of Republicans said their families had dinner together five times or more during the week.


- 86 percent had cooked a meal using a recipe passed along from parents, 68 percent had done so from newspapers or magazines, 54 percent from the Internet and 51 percent from TV.


- 64 percent of people in rural areas and 63 percent in the suburbs said they ate with their families at least five nights in the week, compared with 56 percent in cities.


The poll was conducted November 5-9 by GfK Roper Public Affairs and Media. It involved landline and cell phone interviews with 1,006 adults nationwide and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
