Merry Christmas!

Hey everybody! I hope you all had a great Christmas. As we are thanking God for what He has done for us in Jesus Christ, we are all looking forward to the new year and what He will continue to do for the glory of His name. We are so grateful for what Jesus has done in our own lives and on the campus this past semester.
Enjoy your break. With the time that's left, seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.
Grace and peace to you in Jesus Christ, John


"Hail the heav'n-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Son of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings
Ris'n with healing in His wings
Mild He lays His glory by
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"

We only have one life.

Romans 12:1-2 "Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual[a] act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."
Hey everybody! Quick update! I hope that our first meetings have encouraged you to as much as they have encouraged me. When we see what Christ has done for us, we can serve Him "in view of God's mercy." He has overcome. Glory in His cross.
He shed His blood for my soul. That is our motivation. Lack motivation? Then you lack a vision of the face of Jesus Christ and His cross. See Him. Then there is no need for prodding and forcing to serve Him.
If God is God, serve Him! We only have one life. If you wait to serve until everything is perfect, you won't get that chance to serve. Sheep follow their shepherd. "Then He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Matthew 4:19"
in Him, John

First Meeting of semester this Tuesday! 9-25-07

Here's a shout out to the ones and ones of people who look at this blog!
Our first meeting of the semester is this Tuesday! Glory to the LORD. We hope to meet you @ 9:00 a.m. (wow! who do these guys think they are, meeting at 9?!) in the Library on the third floor at the top of the stairs. (From there we will meet in one of the "study rooms")
During our first meeting we will discuss motives for evangelism, and an intro to what the Bible says about the Law concerning evangelism.
If you can't stay the whole time, don't worry, you can still come!
If the LORD wills, see you Tuesday!
in Him, John

Hey everybody!

I hope this finds you all growing in your devotion to Jesus Christ and in your passion to bring His Gospel to the lost.
I just wanted to let everyone know what's going on this semester with CCN @ IUPUI. I am confident that God will have His way with CCN and that He will direct us into His will this year. I pray that God will give us each a burden for Him to be glorified and for the lost souls to see the salvation that only comes throught the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Please, if you would like to join us in studying and practicing Biblical evangelism (and also studying apologetics and Christian doctrine) on Tuesday mornings, let me know as soon as possible. If the LORD wills, I look forward to uniting with you in glorifying God on campus and beyond this semester! Again, if you are interested after prayerful consideration, please contact me @ jfb4indy@yahoo.com for info on exactly where and when we will be meeting. I sincerely hope to see you! - John
Let's go preach the Gospel....because Jesus Christ is worthy!


1 Corinthians 9 : 16 For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for necessity is laid upon me; yes, woe is me if I do not preach the gospel! 17 For if I do this willingly, I have a reward; but if against my will, I have been entrusted with a stewardship.

We are not called to proclaim philosophy and metaphysics, but the simple Gospel. Man's fall, his need of a new birth, forgiveness through atonement, and salvation as the result of faith, these are our battle-ax and weapons of war." C. H. SPURGEON

End of Semester!

Hey everyone! Thanks so much to all who came to our last meeting of the semester! Many on campus were engaged in conversations and the Gospel was made known! Glory to the Most High God! Now. There isn't much time left. Keep pressing on and share your faith boldly. Lukewarm no more.
We'll all be in touch this summer. Also, i will update this blog with posts about the witnessing we will plan to do, downtown, in Broadripple, and everywhere else! Stay in touch with each other! See you! Peace, John

Last meeting of the semester!

Hey everybody! This Tuesday (4/24) is the last meeting of the semester! If you got tracts, bring 'em! And pray that the Lord would prepare our hearts and the hearts of those we will encounter as we go out. Titus 3:1-8 see you! John

New Resources!

Hey everybody! The goal of our blog is to be a place where you can come see what's up, and equip yourself! Look around! Audio sermons and websites (along the right side) are there to encourage, educate, and equip you to glorify God by reaching the lost! in Him, John

"I want to be a soul winner and bring the lost to Christ

That they His grace may know;

I want to live for Christ ever, and do His blessed will

Because He loves me so. "

Next Meeting!

"I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth." Revelation 3:15-16
Are you cold? Are you hot? Are you lukewarm? If you sincerely want to be "Lukewarm No More," please come this Tuesday, April 10th. in Him - John

Hey everybody!

"I am He that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death." Revelation 1:18 Jesus Christ lives and He is coming again soon!

Last meeting!

Thanks to everybody who came on to our last meeting! We talked about the reality of Hell, our responsibility to share the Gospel with the lost, and the Lord's promise to be with us as we obey His command in faith. We talked about James 4:6 how "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble." This will guide our witnessing encounters by remembering, Law the proud - Grace to the humble. God's Law is used to reveal someone's need for the Savior, while grace provides the perfect sacrifice of Christ, and a risen Savior!
"The beginning of repentence consists of that work of the Law by which the Spirit of God terrifies and confounds consciences. Just as the Christian life must certainly begin with the knowledge of sin, so Christian doctrine must begin with the function of the Law." - Melanchthon
Grace, peace, and boldness in Him, John

Friday - Downtown!

Picture (Joe, Todd, John) Friday afternoon, Joe, Andrea, and John hit Monument Circle to see who the Lord would lead them to! They gave out hundreds of tracts (which proclaim God's moral Law, His justice, and the need to repent and trust in Jesus) They were blessed with many conversations and were able to talk to many about the urgency of salvation! They even met Todd, who joined right in by passing out tracts. He is enthusiastic about reaching the lost and plans on coming this Tuesday! Glory to God!
"Let us not glide through this world and then slip quietly into heaven, without having blown the trumpet loud and long for our Redeemer, Jesus Christ. Let us see to it that the devil will hold a thanksgiving service in hell, when he gets the news of our departure from the field of battle." C. T. Studd

Our first meeting!

(Top row) Andrea, Joe, Jeremiah, John (Bottom row) Tatenda (Tia), Fungie, Kyle

Thanks again to everyone who came to our very first meeting in the University library!

"Make it an object of constant study, and of daily reflection and prayer, to learn how to deal with sinners so as to promote their conversion…… Evermore the Law must prepare the way for the gospel. To overlook this in instructing souls is almost certain to result in false hope, the introduction of a false standard of Christian experience, and to fill the Church with false converts... Time will make this plain." - Charles Finney

See you around campus, John

CCN on campus!

Hey everybody! We already had our first meeting on Tuesday! Thanks to everyone who came! We've hit the ground running! We have room 2115E in the University library reserved for the rest of the semester. Meetings start at 5PM! Hope to see you there.
in Him, John
