What I say

Empathy

Empathy is different from being a human gospel tract. If they’re not serious about it, neither is the gospel. What doesn’t relate, is useless. 1000x0=0 If their happiness means nothing, neither will the gospel. Emphathy is emphasizing their experience. This can be done through showing them that you're listening:

•What happened to you?

•(How do they want to relate to this?)

•This bothers/hurts you. It's been a difficult week, hasn't it.

I feel what you're saying, and can only imagine what it’s like to experience it.

I know. Me too. I hate this with you.

•I'd be honored if you shared more of your feelings with me. I wouldn't want you to carry it alone. I’m here to hold space for all your feelings. I may not actually know how you feel or how to solve it, but I can listen.

Hard to word, but understandable.

Maybe some don't get it, but I'm with you. You don’t have to self-justify, I'm team John Doe!

Couldn't be better, because God loves me. He rid my regret, leads me, and will take me to heaven.

Is there something weighing on your heart, that you feel that you might like, to share with me, here on this chat, right now?

What did you like about last week? And what are you going to do for the Lord this week?

Is there something weighing on your heart that you feel that you might like to share with me, here on this chat, right now?

Maybe you're expecting brainstorming, a second opinion, or just prayer...

I wish you could feel better. Feel free to share about what happened to you.

This doesn't just feel bad, it is bad... that's how much you need God!

As bad as it is, as important as it is to you, and as much as you may react to it, and as bad as you can feel of it- God is worth it.

Gospel

God did much for you. He gave you and your loved ones the opportunity to be rescued from everlasting torment, after this life.

Devil got us to not trust God and to do things which God hates (like lusting and lying...)

But, God really wants you! so He sent His Son to die on the cross, and rise.

Just acknowledge, admit what He did. You can confess what He did with your mouth, and with your whole body in baptism.

Tell God something like this: Have mercy. I admit your blood sacrifice on the cross to wash my wrongs. Don’t let me go to hell after this life. I give You my life now, for You to make me your children permanently. Amen

To pray:
I want God to answer your prayer, favorably. (God answers His children, rather than His enemies.) So you need a relationship with Him. To be His child: believe that He sent His Son to make your sacrifice. Then He'll no longer hold anything against you.

Verses:
(John 3:16-18) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

(John 20:31) But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

(1Jn 5:12-13) He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

Danger:
God sent His Son to die and rise. His Son bled on the cross for you and your loved ones. Confess this! God holds nothing against those those who admit what He did. But God holds everything against those who won't acknowledge what He did. After this life, unbelievers(His enemies) will be separated from God, day and night ever and ever... weeping, gnashing, being disgusting, ruined in darkness... But his believers(His children) won't be punished, burned, nor tormented.

Baptism:
Believers should get baptized. It shows: Jesus' death when you go down into the water, and Jesus resurrection when you are brought back up.

Growth

God has done so much for you. Without Him I'd be in hell, and your loved ones too. Appreciate that as you compare Him to anything else. Tell Him how much He means to you. Say: You are worth more to me than X(replace the X comparing Him to anything you may really want.) Tell Him why you are willing to do more for Him than anything or anyone else. He is worth more effort than what you put into any other. You love Him, you trust Him that much. Share with Him how you share His goals, to the point you'd spend everything on Him, unlike anything else.

Steps for growth:
1. listening to His book, and

2. listening as you talk to Him.I mean pray, being conscious of God’s reaction. Not that He needs audible words, but trust and accredit the best about Him while you talk to Him. (Like, don’t just give God a list and not consider what He thinks about the list, He doesn’t need one way prayers.)

3. express your love to God, when you need to, compare His worth to others things and say what you’re willing to give for Him. Reflect on the difference God made for you and your loved ones. (You're not in torments right now.)

4. Experience God’s love in your daily life. If God cares for you, He cares for others. Serve them. And even overcoming your own secret sins will allow you to help them in deeper ways. Share His goals, whatever He’d like to see accomplished in this world. Doing what you can, praying for what you can’t. God could send other people.

5. The biggest thing is just to trust Him. He’s trustworthy. He does everything He wants for His people. He outpays whatever the devil offers. It’s going to be good, no matter how bad it is now. And no matter how wicked you feel, God is still good. Any truth can help wash your mind.

Forgiveness Verses:
God is always faithful to forgive His believers, you can confess anything you need to.

1Jn 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1Jn 1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

Rom 5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
Rom 5:8 But God (shows) his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Rm5:10b when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son

Mic 7:18 Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.
Mic 7:19 HE WILL turn again, HE WILL have compassion upon us; HE WILL SUBDUE our iniquities; and THOU WILT CAST all their sins into the depths of the sea.

You notice God's character there how He so fervently wants to separate you from wrongs because of how zealous He is for you.

Song about forgiveness

Worthwhile

For God is not unrighteous to forget your work...Heb 6:10
Thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just. Luk 14:14
Always abounding in the work...your labour is not in vain in the Lord. 1Cor 15:58.
Whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord,... Eph 6:8
Whatsoever...do heartliy... Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward Col 3:24
He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will He pay him again. Pro 19:17

-This life gives way to the next, the next gives way to none
-Give what you can't keep, to gain what you can't lose

Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. Col 3:2
Mat 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven

Critics

Agnostic:
Everything points to single Maker. Why risk hell? First dedicate you life to God and don’t try to prove Him. Then let Him guide you to prove which religion He wants for you. The Bible reveals that He made our sacrifice to wash the believer’s wrongs. Don’t just look at the truth- eat it! marry it! Commit to God. Let Him have the rightful responsibility for your life. And put away the devil’s independence. God has given everyone some light to be saved from the afterlife. More is given to those who accept the light they have. If you reject, you may fall into great darkness. Day after day throughout eternity some unbeliever woman, for example, continues to defraud God of her presence in His joy. God doesn’t want forced friends. She’s owned by the devil, God won’t steal her. We're dehumanized without God. The Devil strips us of our value. It's not why God invented us. You should give back God’s responsibility for your eternity!

Suffering:
If there is no suffering, then God agrees with our sin. A world against God, must be against His people. People won’t believe God because they love sin. They won’t turn from sin, unless sin brings suffering. Have you seen enough suffering in your life, to turn to God? Believers, suffer with God, for the sake of those who haven’t yet believed. We’re not all in bliss yet, because God is waiting for the unbelievers to believe. If you want God’s approval, don't blame Him. If the comfort god people imagine repels you, then accept God’s real will in everyone’s lives. The children? It’s not the child who hurts worse, but those who think they deserve to know why they suffer. If you’re looking for the most unfair thing: Men crucifying God’s Son. Nothing stopped God from sending His Son to us. Of course, we’d killed Him. Of course, He wouldn’t let Him stay dead. God hates everything unbelievers even think they do right because He wants the credit. And if you choose God, then you are God’s, so God is accredited with your choice. God teaches with force, so that you can freely make the right decision. A person that has not been forced, cannot know the right decision for he has not seen the effect of any cause which he may choose.

Evidence proof:
If you could deductively prove God, God would be fake. You want God to be fake. Therefore, you are trying to prove God deductively. But if it’s impossible to prove God deductively, that in itself is inductive evidence of God. And there are millions of such deductive evidence for God…

Marriage

Don’t marry an unbeliever.
2Co 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
2Co 6:15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
1Co_7:39…(widow) is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.

1 Thessalonians 4:3-4: “It is God’s will that you be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the (unbelievers), who do not know God”.
Ephesians 5:3: “But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality,
1 Corinthians 6:18-20: “Flee from sexual immorality.

Homo:
Sex is only for you and your spouse. It's a sin even to think of having sex with anyone else- male or female. Jesus said that marriage is for male and female.(Mk10:7) It goes on to say that God joins people in marriage. (Micah adds, marriage is in the vow.) Paul implies that homo marriage breaks the symbolism of two unlikes coming together in marriage. Also, we see the symbolism in Romans, men trusting men is condemn, rather than putting trust in God. (Male representing God, female representing people.) This picture is also in Eph 5. The reason God made marriage was to show our relationship with Him to be closer than our relationship with each other. So, even if unbelieving America accepts male with male; God only unites male and female, two different sexes to show his relationship with people. It means, we are not to trust ourselves as much as Him. Not like, but unlike sexes coming together. This then goes beyond just culture. Besides, God specifically calls homosex acts gross(Lev) sinful(Tim), not worthy of heaven.(Cor) We should love all people, especially those of the same gender since you're around them more probably. If you love someone (besides your spouse), you'll not have sex with them.

Lev 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. (The original Hebrew word used here abomination is different than the other word for abomination and this word is used for God hates the lying, pride, and murdering...this is not a light word)

Lev 20:13a If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: (the context is rules for the nation of Israel, but we see something universal here as well- He calls this practice an abomination TO HIM- regardless of whether or not the practice is outlawed or promoted by any government)

1Ti 1:9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
1Ti 1:10 For whoremongers, for -those who practice homosexuality-, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;

1Co 6:9b Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor -those who practice homosexuality-,
1Co 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
1Co 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

Rom 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Rom 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

Experiences

One time, I prayed for my wife to get fruit and yogurt that she likes. The hour I pray, a random person dropped by those two items only. The reason I prayed was because I was at a far away job and I was sad that she was sick. No one knew till afterwards.

I prayed to find a phone, and it appeared on a table immediately. (There was nothing on that table at the start of the prayer.)

I wanted to belong to God. I thought I was going to die as a kid. I prayed and an invisible hand pushed from my back, out of this pit.

I asked God for my wife, He said you'll meet her tomorrow at lunch. I'd only met her like two quick occasions before. The three last sermons before college, were at different churches, all about husbands loving their wives. That year she came. I also did a Gideon's fleece, to be sure at the last.

I ask God to play the piano, only for Him, within the hour, my hands were going all over that piano, amazingly.

There was an old man that always sat in the back pew of church and didn't say much. I felt like I had to sing him a certain song while he left church. After singing it to him, he didn't return to church again, but died.

God showed me that a big change in my life would happen, and that it would be a car crash on such a day. So, I fasted a week. I knew that I might miss my brothers wedding. I ask my wife to fast four days. I told, three people, went on the road. And I awoke in the hospital. I asked what happened. Sure enough I had been in a crash. It's comforting to know, that nothing surprises God.

I prayed for my cousin to have a baby safely, and that it would be a healthy boy. It was unlikely she could have a baby. I felt God told me that they would have a healthy little boy. They probably conceived that same night. I started telling people, it would be a healthy boy.

A good friend of mine, spent years and thousand trying to get his wife to conceive. I prayed. I didn't know what God would answer, they probably conceived around the time I prayed. And although I didn't tell anyone, they named the boy, the last word of my prayer

I thought God would have me spend more time with my family, so I asked God to shake the company as proof that I should leave. I awoke the next morning and oddly the lounge was full of workers on strike. That was my sign, so I put in my two week notice.

I drove through forest area to get to work. At work prayed for an oven. After my shift, I drove back through the forest, and this random large, perfectly new oven was on the side of the road with a free sign.

I asked for a microwave, and within an hour I noticed someone taking one to the trash. I couldn't had known. It was big and perfectly fine and worked ten years.

I didn't give tithe $1200 tithe, So God took it away and gave it back once I gave the tithes. What are the chances. Again with $900, and finally again with $600. Each time, the exact amount of money went missing, was tithed, and immediately returned.

Misc

God gave the church for most of your surface social needs. God is better because He's not selfish like everyone else, and He lasts longer, knows more about you, can do more for you. If you don't get along with God, then you don't deserve the friends, because He made them for HimSelf too. If God's responsible for you then pray for a companion. Someone that shares God's goals in the same way as you.
