The police came and took my statement,repparttar lady's andrepparttar 126444 man's. I went torepparttar 126445 Magistrate Court and filed a warrant againstrepparttar 126446 man.

Atrepparttar 126447 courtroom, justice was served, and I gotrepparttar 126448 opportunity to witness to a room full of people. Later, I went torepparttar 126449 store manager's church and attendedrepparttar 126450 Sunday School class he taught. He was teaching about Joseph who was wronged by his brothers and sold into slavery. Joseph had seen God's hand in this and did not hold unforgiveness in his heart towards his brothers. I testified in his class what had happened to me inrepparttar 126451 grocery store and it was uplifting to him and his class.

A few weeks later, I sawrepparttar 126452 man who hit me in McDonald's. A Christian friend, Mike, and I witnessed to him and prayed for him. He had a history of assaulting men and women but nobody ever took him to court.

Something further good came out of this incident. My jaw had been out of place, andrepparttar 126453 man's hit knocked it back in place.

Romans 8.28 "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who arerepparttar 126454 called according to his purpose."

Paul’s Letter to 21st Century Christians

Written by Rev. Saundra L. Washington


Continued from page 1

In a time when man’s inhumanity to man has reached chaotic proportions and destroyingrepparttar very foundation of ethical values, we need those who are willing to take a stand for Jesus Christ.

You arerepparttar 126443 salt ofrepparttar 126444 earth; you are able to be a light inrepparttar 126445 midst of a dark world. You have become onerepparttar 126446 richest nations underrepparttar 126447 sun. You live in a land that flows with milk and honey. You have eaten from grapes that you did not plant; you live in homes that you did not build, and yet I hearrepparttar 126448 painful cries of people all overrepparttar 126449 world dying of starvation.

Therefore I, Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus byrepparttar 126450 will of God, deem it necessary to write to you to inform you that God is still able. It seems to me you depend more on pills than you depend on God. I understand you have invented pills to come in all shapes and sizes, all colors and taste. You have a pill for just about everything. But it is strange that out of all these pills, there is not one that will prevent a person from lying and cheating, stealing and killing.

Well, that being said brothers and sisters; I encourage you to take a stand forrepparttar 126451 Lord. Live or die, survive or perish, stand onrepparttar 126452 solid foundation of Jesus Christ and “be strong inrepparttar 126453 Lord and inrepparttar 126454 power of His might. Put onrepparttar 126455 whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand againstrepparttar 126456 wiles ofrepparttar 126457 devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, againstrepparttar 126458 rulers ofrepparttar 126459 darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness inrepparttar 126460 heavenly places. Therefore take uprepparttar 126461 whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand inrepparttar 126462 evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put onrepparttar 126463 breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet withrepparttar 126464 preparation ofrepparttar 126465 gospel of peace; above all, takingrepparttar 126466 shield of faith with which you will be able to quench allrepparttar 126467 fiery darts ofrepparttar 126468 wicked one. And takerepparttar 126469 helmet of salvation, andrepparttar 126470 sword ofrepparttar 126471 Spirit, which isrepparttar 126472 word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication inrepparttar 126473 Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for allrepparttar 126474 saints-- and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make knownrepparttar 126475 mystery ofrepparttar 126476 gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak” Ephesians 6:10-20).

“Now to him who is able to establish you by my gospel andrepparttar 126477 proclamation of Jesus Christ, according torepparttar 126478 revelation ofrepparttar 126479 mystery hidden for long ages past, but now revealed and made known throughrepparttar 126480 prophetic writings byrepparttar 126481 command ofrepparttar 126482 eternal God, so that all nations might believe and obey him– torepparttar 126483 only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen” (Romans 16:25-27).
