Your Attitude Comes Back To You

by Byron Foxx

THE LAW OF REAPING AND SOWING HOLDS TRUE IN OUR RELATIONSHIPS

Have you ever had an experience with a person who had a condemnatory, fault-finding, supercilious attitude? The experience is unpleasant to say the least! On the other hand, have you spent time with someone who is charitable, generous hearted, and kind? What a blessing to be in the company of someone with that attitude!

In Matthew chapter seven, Jesus said, “Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.” According to the Bible, we reap what we sow.

Here’s a little story to serve as an illustration. Some time ago, there was a family moving from Newport News to Richmond. They packed all their belongings on a wagon and began their journey to Richmond. After traveling about half of the distance to their destination they saw an old man. They called out to him, “We are moving from Newport News to Richmond. What kind of people live in Richmond?”

The old man replied, “Well, what kind of people did you know in Newport News?” The family began to complain, “They are the worst people in the world! They are no good!” At that the old man said, “That’s the same kind of people you are going to meet in Richmond!”

A week later, a family was moving from Richmond to Newport News. They packed up their belongings, put them on a wagon, and started their journey to Newport News. After traveling about half of the distance to their destination, they saw that same old man. They called out to him, “We are moving from Richmond to Newport News. What kind of people live in Newport News?”

The old man replied, “Well, what kind of people did you know in Richmond?” The family began to say, “They are such fine people. They are some of the best people in the world!” At that, the old man said “Well, that’s the same kind of people you are going to meet in Newport News!”

If we want people to have a proper and right attitude toward us, then we should exhibit a right attitude! Christians should “love as brethren.” We are to be good to all, but especially to the “household of faith.”

Don’t tell your critics the burdens of your soul. Critics, railers and scoffers will make you miserable! Proverbs chapter twenty-two says, “Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go: Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.”

But, praise God, if you have a “friend that sticketh closer than a brother,” you can tell him your troubles. He will help carry your burden. He will bring joy to your soul!

Humility and charity are hallmarks of Christian living! O that we all would have hearts full of sympathy and love! Each of us should feed the poor and give cold water to those who are thirsty!

If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.—Romans 12:18

America's Cities are Becoming Mission Fields

by Byron Foxx

REACHING AMERICA’S CITIES WITH THE GOSPEL 

For many years, we have thought of the frontiers of advancing the Christian faith in America as being “out there” somewhere in a new territory and “over there” somewhere a thousand miles away in the backwoods.

That may have been true at one time, but it is no longer true! The frontier of the spiritual life of our beloved America is now found in the heartland of our major cities. As a Christian, and an American citizen, I refuse to allow Satan to continue growing his ugly grip on the cities of America. I will not surrender our cities without a fight! I am deeply in love with my Lord and my country.

God has a beautiful plan for every city! Any city that will follow God’s plan will receive God’s blessing! In fact there will be no murder, mischief, or hatred in any city that will follow God’s plan! There will be love, compassion, and real kindness in every city that will follow God’s plan.

Where do you find God’s plan for the cities? It is found in the Bible!

What should city people do? Start with John 3:16. Read it, memorize it, share it with others, and do what the verse says. Then read Matthew 5. Read it about 100 times. Then read Psalm 119. It takes about 22 minutes to read that chapter, but if you will read it every day for a month, your life will greatly change.

Pray. Pray to God Almighty and pray through His Son, Jesus. It will change a city. Ask God to raise up Christian workers for the major cities of America. We need prayer warriors. We need soulwinners. We need Bible teachers.

Believe. God will not do great and mighty works in a city that does not believe. Want proof? Read the first few verses in Mark chapter 6 and you will find that no great miracles took place in that city because of their “unbelief.”

What Our Nation Needs

By Byron Foxx 

We are becoming a nation of lawlessness and violence.

• We have alcoholic beverages and other drugs to destroy our bodies.

• We have immorality and perversion to destroy our homes.

• We have vandalism and mischief to destroy our properties.

• We have gangs and violence to destroy our schools.

• We have hatred and bitterness, in the neighborhoods, to destroy our cities.

• We have false religion and cults to destroy our churches.

• We have lies and scandals to destroy our government.

What is needed? There is only one solution. The only hope for our country is a sweeping revival. A Heaven sent revival can save any nation! Do you want proof? Read Jonah chapter three and find what happened in ancient Nineveh. Next, read about the Welsh revival of 1904-1905 when the jails were closed because there was no crime.

How can such a revival take place in our country? The revival we so desperately need will not begin in a nightclub, a bar, or a theater. So where would you suppose that revival begins? In the legislature? In the business world? NO! The people in the bar are committed to other things. Those in the theater are looking for pleasure. Those in the business world are buying and selling.

Revival is a Christian word. It is a church word. Revival is for Christians. It is our word! Revival is a gift from God to His people!

Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?— Psalm 85:6

For churches, revival should be normal. Revival ought to be expected among the children of God. Every church service should be a revival service. Every day should be a soulwinning day. Each day, a Christian should walk a little closer with the Lord, worship the Lord a little more fervently, pray a little more earnestly, and seek the lost a little more zealously.

In order for revival to come, I must get right with God. Second, you must get right with God. You and I are part of our beloved country. One by one, each member of our nation needs to get saved, baptized, join a Bible believing church, and get busy obeying Almighty God!

O Lord, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy.—Habakkuk 3:2b

May God Almighty send a sweeping revival among His people in America and around the world today!

Hope for Our Country

By Byron Foxx

What kind of nation are we becoming? We are becoming a nation of lawlessness and violence. 

-We have alcoholic beverage and other drugs to destroy our bodies. 

-We have immorality and perversion to destroy our homes.

-We have vandalism and mischief to destroy our properties.
-We have gangs and violence to destroy our schools.
-We have hatred and bitterness in the neighborhoods to destroy our cities. 
-We have false religion and cults to destroy our churches. 
-We have lies and scandals by politicians to destroy our government.

What is needed? There is only one solution. The only hope for our country is a sweeping revival.

I want to strongly state that a Heaven sent revival can save any nation! Do you want proof? Read Jonah Chapter 3 and find what happened in ancient Nineveh. Next search for information about the Welsh revival of 1904-05 when the jails were closed because there was no crime.

How can such a revival take place in our country this year? First, I must get right with God. Second, you must get right with God. You and I are part of our beloved country. One by one each member of our nation needs to get saved, baptized, join a Bible believing church, and get busy obeying Almighty God!

Psalm 85:6 "Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?"

The Power of God's Word

By Dr. Byron Foxx

The Bible is the only book I know that can absolutely move this nation back to God! The Bible is alive! Christians love it, sinners need it, and it is a weapon against the devil! Read it today!

All preachers should commit themselves to preaching and teaching the infallible, inerrant, inspired, God-breathed Word of God! My soul is troubled for any pastor, church, or institution that begins to doubt the Word of God.

You have likely heard folks say it is full of errors, fables, and inaccuracies. NO! The Bible is the immutable, unchanging Word of God.

• You can build your life on the Book.
• You can build your home on the Book.
• You can build every aspiration on the Book.
• The church is built on the Book.
• My hope of going to Heaven is found in the Book!

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.—Psalm 119:105

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.—2 Timothy 3:16–17

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.—Hebrews 4:12

The Bible begins in Genesis to unfold the great revelation of Almighty God Jehovah. Without the Bible we would never know Him. Without the Bible we would not know about creation. Without the Bible, we would not know the marvelous story of redemption. Hallelujah for the Bible! O bless the Lord!

I know the Bible is the inspired Word of God. It brings assurance of salvation upon repentance and belief in our loving Saviour, Jesus!

I don’t want the science of the liberals. I don’t want to read about a cosmic egg. I’m not interested in a “fire mist swirling in space.”

Voltaire said, “Within a hundred years there will not be a Bible on the face of the earth except as an antiquarian curiosity.” The infidel Hume said, “I see the twilight of Christianity.”

However! The Lord still reigns, the Bible is still the greatest book, and salvation is still available to all! Give me the Bible. Give me the Book. The queen of all science is theology. We should read and study the Bible, not just for facts, read and study it for TRUTH!

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.—Isaiah 40:8

The Great Need for Revival

REVIVAL MUST START IN OUR OWN LIVES
