This Podcast is about How Christian Riders share their Faith. Many Christian Riders are intimidated by the idea of sharing their faith. Jesus never intended for the Great Commission to be an impossible burden. God meant for us to be witnesses of Jesus Christ through the natural outcome of living for him. So I wanted to talk about How to Share Your Faith in God With Others We make evangelism complicated. We think we must complete some 10-week course in apologetics before getting started. God designed an easy evangelism program. He made it simple for us. Here are five practical approaches to being a better representative of the gospel. First, Represent Jesus in the Best Possible Way Or, in the words of a pastor I know, "Don’t make Jesus look like a jerk." Try to keep in mind that you are the face of Jesus to the world. As followers of Christ, the quality of our witness to the world carries eternal implications. Unfortunately, Jesus has been poorly represented by many of his followers. I”m not saying that I am the perfect Jesus Follower—I am not. But if we, I talking about those of us who follow the teachings of Jesus) could represent him authentically, the term "Christian" or "Christ-follower" would be more likely to give a positive response than a negative one. Second, Be a Friend by Showing Love Jesus was a close friend to hated tax collectors like Matthew and Zacchaeus. He was called "Friend of Sinners" in Matthew 11:19. If we are his followers, we ought to be accused of being a friend of sinners too. Jesus taught us to how to share the gospel by showing our love to others in John 13:34-35: --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/christian-rider-ministry/message

I AM A CHRISTIAN RIDER

Grace and peace to you in abundance Christian Riders, This Podcast is a request TO YOU, for YOUR Testimony. 1 Corinthians 1:5-6 (NIV) 5 For in him you have been enriched in every way—with all kinds of speech and with all knowledge— 6 God thus confirming our testimony about Christ among you. Some Skeptics may debate the validity of Scripture or argue the existence of God, but no one can deny the personal testimony of your experiences with God. When you tell your story about how God worked a miracle in your life, or how he blessed you, transformed you, lifted and encouraged you, perhaps even broke and then healed you, no one can argue or debate it. When you share your Christian testimony, you go beyond the field of knowledge into the realm of relationship with God. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/christian-rider-ministry/message

Christian Rider Testimonies

Listen to even one televised news report and fear or anxiety may capture your thoughts and grip your heart. We dont overcome the effects of ‘the news’ by denying or ignoring the evil in our world that causes such intense emotions, but rather by applying scriptural truth to circumstances and responding biblically. But it doesn’t take a newscast to stir up fear. The enemy, Satan, wants God’s children to live in constant fear and anxiety as they stockpile worries and are burdened by cares. The Bible says such temptation is “common” to mankind (1 Corinthians 10:13). Even the strongest Christ-followers can experience the temptation to fear and worry. For our concern today with anxiety and unbelief . In Hebrews 3:12, it says, “Take care, brethren, lest their be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, leading you to fall away from the living God.” And verse 14 says, “For we have shared in Christ, if we hold our first confidence firm to the end.” --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/christian-rider-ministry/message

Battling Anxiety and fear

Backslidden Christians Have you ever temporarily lapsed into unbelief and sin after you became a Christian? The condition of backsliding results from spiritual apathy or disregard for the truth of God’s Word. It results in a departure from a confession of faith and Biblical ethical standards. Actions are affected by our attitudes toward God and His Word. Jesus said, “No one, after putting his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God” (Luke 9:62). Backsliding is different from apostasy, which spurns the grace of God by renouncing the atoning work of Jesus Christ on the cross (Heb. 6:4-6; 10:26-31). When a person renounces his faith in Christ that person was never a true child of God, and never was among the elect of God (John 3:18-21, 36; 5:24-29). On the other hand, the elect individual, regenerated by the Holy Spirit, justified by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, and redeemed by God has been delivered once-for-all from the bondage of sin. Backsliding is not a “fall from grace” in the sense that a Christian once saved by grace can lose his eternal life in Christ. He is God’s child forever, and He has placed His life in the believing sinner. There were times when the disciples of Jesus withdrew from fellowship with the Lord (Matt. 26:56), Peter denied Christ (26:69-75), Corinthian believers lived in sin (2 Cor. 12:20-21), the Church in Asia became lukewarm (Rev. 2:4, 14-15, 20), etc. The people of Israel serve as an example for Christians today. We are exhorted to persevere in righteousness and doing the will of God. Israel forsook her covenant with the LORD God (Jer. 2:19; 8:5; 14:7), and demonstrated her unfaithfulness by disobeying God. In the New Testament backsliding is viewed as an individual problem, although it is possible for churches to become backslidden, too. Why do Christians become backslidden? We all still possess the old nature that is “corrupt through deceitful lusts” (Eph. 4:22; Rom. 7:13-24; 1 Cor. 3:1-3). Lack of continuous fellowship by “abiding” in Christ results in a lack of spiritual vitality and ineffective Christian service (Jn. 15:4-8). There is no other way to live the Christian life except by maintaining an intimate fellowship with our Lord. If we do not maintain that vital contact with Him we cannot sustain spiritual growth and effectively minister in His name. Unbelief (Heb. 3:12), bitterness (12:15), love for the world (2 Tim. 4:10), love for money (1 Tim. 6:10), adherence to worldly philosophy (Col. 2:8), legalism (Gal. 3:1; 1:6; 5:7), indifference and spiritual coldness (Rev. 2:4; 3:16) are other causes for backsliding. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/christian-rider-ministry/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/christian-rider-ministry/support

Backslidden Christians

“You ran well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth?” Galatians 5:7, NKJV. “When you walk, your steps will not be hindered, And when you run, you will not stumble” Proverbs 4:12, NKJV. If you had to make it to the airport to catch a flight, you wouldn’t allow anything to hinder you from getting there. You’re going to make sure, no matter what occurs, no matter what comes your way, no matter what seems you need to give time to, nothing is going to hold you back. God wants you to be unhindered. Be aware of the hindrances that come to distract, restrain, and hold you back from being the man He has called you be. We are all being faced with various challenges, but recognize the enemy’s devices and the hindrances that may be happening, even now, to hold you back from running your race well and being Christ-like. As you choose to be like Christ in the moment, the love, forgiveness, and peace of God will flow powerfully in your life. Allow nothing to restrain you from doing God’s will. Let nothing hinder you. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/christian-rider-ministry/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/christian-rider-ministry/support

Unhindered

“I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me. Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethen, you did it to Me” Matthew 25:36 & 40, NKJV. It’s a blessing to see that Jesus directly addressed people in prison in scripture. He loves those in jail so deeply that He acquainted Himself with them. Jesus puts himself in their place. He says whatever you do to the least of these, you have done it to me. When you visit them, you’re visiting Me. When you take the time to write them a letter, you are taking the time to write me a letter. It’s as if He’s there in the jail cells and when we support them, we support him. We’re helpers of God to do a mighty work in their lives. With everything going on in the world, it can be easy to forget about this labor of love and forget about the imprisoned. In His eternal word, He didn’t forget about them, neither should we. In verse 37-46, Jesus gives a hard truth and shows that He sees the heart of the believer that doesn’t help the needy, visit the sick and those in prison. Search your heart about visiting and ministering to the imprisoned and detention centers. Know that whatever we do for them, we do it to Jesus Christ. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/christian-rider-ministry/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/christian-rider-ministry/support

God loves the imprisoned

To console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified” Isaiah 61:3, NKJV. In sports, when a team is down in a series 3-0 or down with seconds left in the game, the whole world will count them out. Everyone says it’s over. Sometimes in life, things can feel that way. But it’s great to know that you may can count out man, but you can never count out God. No matter what the devil says in your ear, you are never counted out with the Lord on your side. With God, it’s never over, and the best is yet to come. He takes what is nothing, and makes something good out of it. He takes what appears dead and makes things alive. You will rise from this situation better, wiser, and blessed. Sometimes, He will allow you to be uprooted, but He will plant you in a place far better than you were. Your turn around will be so great, that you know only He can get the glory. You will look back and only be able to say only God could have done this in your life. It’s never over for the man that will trust in Him. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/christian-rider-ministry/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/christian-rider-ministry/support

It's never over with God

“Show me Your ways, O Lord; teach me Your paths.” Psalms 25:4, NKJV. Your way may on the surface appear better or even more sure, but there is nothing like allowing God to have His way in your life. In His hands He holds life, good instruction, wisdom, success, and strength. In His will is where your desires get met. Everything you could ever dream of, He will exceed your expectations because He is just that good. In Luke 22:42 “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” Your way won’t work. Let God do what He desires to do in your life. Don’t restrain Him or hold Him back. Let His Spirit fill you and use you today. Let His praise flow from your mouth and make Him big in your circumstance. In Acts 16:25-26  About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. 26 Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everyone’s chains came loose. So Let God do what He wants to do, even if that involves launching what’s in your heart, or confidently being who He made you to be. Let Him have His way. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/christian-rider-ministry/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/christian-rider-ministry/support

Show me Your ways Lord

“He must increase, but I must decrease” John 3:30, NKJV. “For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure” Philippians 2:13, NKJV. It can be difficult to move yourself from doing what you want to do. Jesus had the hardest battle of His will to get on the cross, yet it yielded the greatest results, the greatest impact, the greatest blessing in His life. What He knew He could not do, or even wanted to do, He set Himself in prayer to humble himself and decrease, so the grace of God, the power of God could increase. The more you decrease, the more He can increase, birthing the results you are looking for. In Luke 22:41-43 (NIV)41 He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed, 42 “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” 43 An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. There are things that we just flat out don’t want to do. In spite of how tough it may seem, it can all be accomplished as you go before God and decrease. Decrease and you’ll hear Him. What you can’t do, allow Him to do in you. It is the key to every victory, every inward fight. He will work in you what you can’t do, what you can’t manufacture, the will and the ability to do what pleases Him. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/christian-rider-ministry/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/christian-rider-ministry/support

YOU MUST DECREASE SO HE CAN INCREASE

Choices…the greatest power we have in our lives are our choices. As Christians, this should always involve choosing to do the right thing. In any discussion about doing the right thing, we must also bring up the word “love.” This is because God’s love for us and our love for him compels us to want to do good as well. We love and serve others, because he first loved us. In light of this, here are my top 7 Bible verses about doing the right thing. Acts 10:38 “…how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.” Romans 7:19 “For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing.” I Corinthians 13:4 “Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant…” Galatians 6:9 “And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” Colossians 3:17 “ And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” I Thessalonians 5:15 “See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone.” James 4:17 “So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.” --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/christian-rider-ministry/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/christian-rider-ministry/support

7 Verses bout Doing the Right Thing

‘I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you.’ Psalm 32:8 (NIV). As we become more increasingly aware of God’s presence, we find it easier to discern the way we should go. This is one of the practical benefits of living close to Him. Instead of wasting precious time and energy fretting about what is on the road ahead or worrying about what we should or shouldn’t do and if or when we should do it, we can concentrate on staying in close communion with God. When we do arrive at a point where a choice needs to be made, God will instruct and teach us in the way we should go. Many of us are so preoccupied with future plans and decisions that we fail to see choices we need to make today. Without any conscious awareness, we make our habitual responses. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/christian-rider-ministry/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/christian-rider-ministry/support

CRM Prayer of Protection

We are involved in something that will still be worthwhile a million years from now because God has not revoked the great commission. Jesus said, “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a witness to all the nations, and then the end shall come” (Matthew 24:14). Today the kingdom of God is realized as we proclaim the crucified, risen, and returning Lord Jesus Christ. The gospel is the good news of the kingdom of God that has come in the person and work of Jesus Christ. How do we enter into the kingdom of God? There is only one way. “Repent of your sins and believe on Jesus Christ.” That is the message we preach. Our message is the gospel of free grace. It is what God has accomplished for us in the sacrificial atoning death of Jesus Christ for our sins. We offer the gospel freely “without money and without cost” (Isa. 55:1). John Ryle once said, “Men are apt to forget that it does not require great open sins to be sinned in order to ruin a soul forever. They have only to give hearing without believing, listening without repenting, going to church without going to Christ, and by and by they will find themselves in hell.” It is imperative that we make the message of salvation crystal clear in our presentations. Salvation is the gift of God and it is “by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves.” God has provided everything we need in order to be saved. “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved” (Acts 16:31). But also be assured, “Reject Jesus Christ, and you will perish forever.” Every time we share that message we are personally involved in what God is doing in building His eternal kingdom. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/christian-rider-ministry/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/christian-rider-ministry/support
