God: Amazing Love January 20th, 2007

Phil Martin

I saw my previous blog entry, pridefully entitled “Myself” and immediately wondered how I could be so bold?

Who am I, that I should exault myself? The post was to introduce my new website, but I was just struck by how small I am and how incredibly amazing the KING OF KINGS and the LORD OF LORDS is.

I just came from working tech here at the second week of Snow Camp at the Word of Life Bible Institute. I was working in the dining hall annex, where were showing a live feed via fiber optics from where the opening rally of the weekend was being held. In this first meeting, we always give a salvation message, for sharing the Gospel is the point of Snow Camp. We give the unsaved teens that come an opportunity to receive Christ as Savior.

Those that watch this feed are mostly students of the BI, and some of the youth leaders. I confess that I thought my job wasn’t imprortant. But something simple and amazing happened. As the camera zoomed out to show the teens walking foward to make that public declaration, the youth leaders started praisng God for certain of the teens they brought. They whispered names of those that made the step from the kingdom of darkness whose realm is hell to the Kingdom of Light whose realm is Heaven and whose Sovereign is God Most High. By being willing to do a job that didn’t seem that great, I facilitated those leaders being able to see immediately the answer to their prayers and the work of God. They had the chance to praise God for the good He had done.

Over 30 youth came to Christ tonight. And it was amazing to see.

Oh the Amazing Love of God, who would die in my place, take my death for my evil, and return from hell to offer me the chance to receive a free gift of release of my debt to God!! How can it be that my KING would die? for me??

I have no idea. But I thank Him for it.

what an AWESOME GOD I serve!!
