- Welcome to The Rapid Pull, daily edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications.
- 00:12
- This is a ministry of striving for eternity. Many people are afraid that they're not going to have the right words to say.
- 00:22
- They may say something that's incorrect. They may not have the best wording when they are sharing the gospel.
- 00:29
- Here's a simple thing to remember. This is going to blow your mind. Are you ready for this? God is sovereign.
- 00:36
- That's right. God is in control. God can use your poor wording, even your wrong wording, or anything else you may say, to lead someone to repentance.
- 00:48
- Because God is the one that brings them to repentance. And so because of that, we have to remember, it's not something we do.
- 00:55
- It's not our wording. It's not how eloquent we are. It is all about God doing what God will do.
- 01:01
- When I came to Christ, the gentleman who led me to Christ, Chuck, said something that was theologically not so sound.
- 01:09
- In fact, it was pretty downright insulting and offensive. See, my mother had died, and people knew that I got a little bit violent when people would speak about my mother.
- 01:19
- And he said, what if your mother died, so you'd be right here, right now, listening to this message, and you walk away? Your mother would have died in vain.
- 01:25
- Now, is that the only reason my mother died? No. Theologically, that's incorrect. And so you look at that, is that offensive?
- 01:32
- Absolutely. But you know what? It was exactly what I needed to hear, to turn around and talk to him, and find out what it is he wanted, that he believed about the
- 01:40
- Bible. And that's what brought me to get to a point where I came to repentance. You never know what God can use.
- 01:46
- He can even use your misspeaking to bring others to a knowledge of Christ.
