    Pretty Good Day.

    Hi friends...

    The good news is I'm now 36 hours sober. The shakes are quite bad and the temptation at the flophouse to relapse is just too great.

    So I got up early and started walking south of the strip thinking I might see what all this church stuff is about. I found Cornerstone Baptist in time for the 8 oclock service and walked up the steps. They would not let me in... said I had to prove I was saved before I was welcome. Or tithe 100 dollars and I could be saved on the steps. I have a Keno ticket worth a dollar, but nothing else left to my name....

    A bus for the Holy Cross Lutheran church in Henderson happened by and I flagged them down. They welcomed me with open arms and the service was inspiring. I'm not sure why, but they had two large men watching me as the plate was passed. I put my Keno ticket in the plate.....

    Any way I'm trying to be a Christian and think I have found a church that wants me. Doesn't to be seem much difference between them all. They use the same book and sing pretty much the same songs.

    I guess I need your prayers?

    God has a Plan for you, it would be wrong to try and influence Him.

        This is terrible news. Luthers don't care about God at all because they fail to follow the Bible. They are not Christians™.

        You should have tithed to the Baptist Church, you foolish drunkard. $100 for salvation? Yes please!*


        *The good news is you can still be saved. Just tithe this Church a lot, God'll put you in his account book.

        A woman came up to me the other day, 12/6/2016 and said:
        "But Mr. Winner, if GOD loves everyone then why is there so much suffering in the world?"

        Because GOD doesn't love everyone. Too many people have this absurd idea in their heads that GOD is all loving.
        If he was all loving, then murderers, thieves and homosexuals would be waiting for you in Heaven.

        GOD doesn't open his gate to just anyone. Being a True Christian™ is like a Queue Jump ticket at Disney, we are guaranteed a ride with JESUS.

            Well that's a sign of a True Christian church. It is the True Christians that don't want just anyone walking into their Sunday services. I suggest that you contact this church again tomorrow and speak with the pastor about becoming saved.

            A bus for the Holy Cross Lutheran church in Henderson happened by and I flagged them down. They welcomed me with open arms and the service was inspiring. I'm not sure why, but they had two large men watching me as the plate was passed. I put my Keno ticket in the plate.....
            And this is the sign of a typical false Christian church. They'll take anyone as long as you put something in the plate, they'll tell you all the loving stuff in the Bible and ignore the bad stuff. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that they used the NIV.

            Any way I'm trying to be a Christian and think I have found a church that wants me. Doesn't to be seem much difference between them all. They use the same book and sing pretty much the same songs.
            Please, please, please go back to the Baptist church, remember Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

            Please remember this, Churches that are willing to accept anyone and only tell you the good stuff are a one way ticket to hell.

            I guess I need your prayers?
            You have my prayers. But I am begging you to go back and talk to one of the Baptist pastors.

              You made the wrong choice, silly little man. What good is that $100 going to do you when you are being tormented eternally in the fiery pits of hell? It is delusional to think that money belongs to you in the first place. You should be grateful that the LORD allows you to keep any of your earnings at all.

              Haggai 2:8
              The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts.

              Jesus will surely forgive you for attending a false Church if you get on your knees right now and REPENT! Let Him into your heart, and be filled with the Holy Spirit TODAY.

              Next Sunday, I want you to go back to the Baptist Church, tithe to the LORD of hosts, undergo full immersion baptism, and share with the congregation your tales of wanton depravity and how you came to seek the Face of the LORD.

              Move thine troubled bowels or get off the pot, Larry. Salvation™ is serious business.
              II Thessalonians 1:7-9
              And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
              In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
              Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power
              The man who is being progressively sanctified will inescapably sanctify his home, school, politics, economics, science, and all things else by understanding and interpreting all things in terms of the Word of God and by bringing all things under the Dominion of Christ the King. -R.J.

                Re: Pretty Good Day.

                But I don't HAVE a hundred dollars to get in. That's the problem. It's a pretty fancy church and they were clear that it took cash to get in the door if I was unsaved.

                I suppose I could snatch a purse again, but I'm trying to leave that life behind. Are the Lutherans really that bad? They were very nice people and pointed out how they were not there to judge me as that is God's decision. According to them, I was saved this morning just by saying a few words in prayer as they held my hands. If I was saved by the Lutherans, will the Baptists let me in?

                I don't know what else to do.... I guess I could hawk this computer in the flophouse lobby? It's a real nice model called a "486". But that would be stealing too because it's not mine.

                Maybe I'm just not meant to be in a church? My sins are many after all...

                Help?

                    Why are you so mean to me? I am making every effort to get saved and you are still talking about hell for me. I've BEEN to hell here in Vegas.

                    Is there no love in your "christian" heart?

                      The hell of vegas is just the depravity like in Sodom and Gomorrha. Have you really repented and given yourself to the Lord, or are you just using the Lord to escape from your eternal damnation.

                        Why are you so unwilling to do an honest day's work?

                        The Lord hates lazy people.


                        2 Thessalonians 3:10 (King James Version) For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.


                        Colossians 3:23 (King James Version) And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;


                        Proverbs 18:9 (King James Version) He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.


                        Proverbs 13:4 (King James Version) The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.


                        Proverbs 20:4 (King James Version) The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.


                        Proverbs 10:4 (King James Version) He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.


                        Proverbs 24:30-34 (King James Version) 30I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding; 31And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down. 32Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction. 33Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: 34So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.

                          Re: Pretty Good Day.

                          Well Larry .... it is with mixed emotions I read this thread.

                          I am pleased that you are looking to find God in Las Vegas.

                          But it saddens me that you are looking in the wrong places.

                          Brother Billy Bob is so right here Larry.

                          You need to go to the Baptist Pastor today and ask what chores he requires for you to EARN your $100. No bag snatching. No hocking items that do not belong to you. Just honest hard work.

                          He may want you to wash the fleet of cars the church owns. With your shakes that should be quite achievable as you will shake over each area a few times even when aiming for an area beside it.

                          Honest hard work Larry. God didn't even give his son our Lord Jesus an easy ride. He was a carpenter and are you aware that Jesus is still working as a carpenter even to this day?

                          John 14:2 (King James Version)
                          2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

                          Now if you want Jesus to knock together a nice room in Heaven for you then you need to do the work on earth for Him.

                          Chin up young man. You can do it. Bit of hard work now for eternal life in Heaven.

                          Matthew 5:12 (King James Version)
                          12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven:
                          2 Chronicles 7:14
                          14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land Australia.
