Boast in Christ Alone - Jennifer Woodley
“For it is we who are the circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God and boast in Christ Jesus and have no confidence in the flesh.” Philippians 3:3 (NRSV)What matters is Christ: not our accomplishments, credentials, experiences, knowledge or position. Let’s not be deceived. If we think we have or are anything great, before Christ, it is “rubbish” as Paul reminds us in his letter to the Philippians. Boasting signifies that we are pleased with our own self. However, the victorious Christian glories not in themselves. Their attention has shifted from self to Christ. What they are or are not, is no longer their prime interest. The believer knows that they have been crucified with Christ. But even more than this, they agree with Paul who said, “it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me and the life I live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who died and gave Himself for me.” (Galatians 2:20). Of course it is much easier to type these words than to live them out. Self-boasting takes a firm hold upon our heart and is not easily removed. Just when we think we have mastered its destructive hold upon our lives, it turns up again to spoil the peace and fruitfulness we experience through humility and dying to self. Yet in Christ we have the victory! When our faith rises to claim the risen life of Christ as our own, the root of self will be destroyed completely. Let’s be encouraged. Allow the work of the cross to do its work in our hearts and only then will we make our boast in Christ alone. Jennifer is a freelance writer from Australia who enjoys encouraging others on their journey with Jesus. Contact

Topic: HERO (10/01/20)
TITLE: My Secret Adventure | Previous Challenge Entry
By Barbara Lynn Culler
Peering over the hotel balcony, I gazed longingly at the ocean a short distance away. It was early afternoon, and I was antsy to get out to the water, but the three other middle-aged women in my tour group were too tired from shopping all morning. Coming to a decision, I grabbed the rental car keys and slipped out the door for an adventure on the tropical river. After a 10-minute drive, I arrived at my destination — kayaks for rent.
Once launched in the river, I paddled against the current to reach the tropical grotto. Lush greenery and intoxicating aromas of vibrantly colored flowers lining the hillsides flooded my senses, distracting me from noticing that storm clouds had blanketed the sky.
KABOOM! Thunder sounded, echoing off the surrounding mountains. Zigzags of lightning lit up the darkened sky, and the water became choppy. Paddling my kayak back towards the docks, I struggled to keep from capsizing into the roiling water. No one else was around, and I was at a bend of the river, so remained unseen by others.
All of a sudden, a seasoned man swung down from a rope attached to a nearby tree crash-landed across my double-seated kayak. Sheepishly, he looked up at me with a lopsided grin. Be still my heart! After assisting him into the other seat, I smoothed down my hair before studying the hunk beside me. I’m sure my mouth dropped open when I realized who was sitting inches away. I’d know him anywhere -- those khakis, the partially buttoned shirt, the hat. It was Indiana Jones!
Too distracted with gawking at the hero of my dreams, I failed to mind the weather, and now rain bombarded us, causing the river to agitate like a washing machine. Despite the rocking kayak, Indie stood upright, swung his ever-present whip, lassoing a hillside banyan tree, and maneuvered the watercraft to safety. Once securely tethered to the tree, the handsome man held me in his embrace —for protection, he said. We looked into one another’s eyes. He glanced down at my lips, then his head lowered to my face.
SPLASH. Suddenly, we were in the water — the capsized kayak bouncing away from my grasp. My glasses had flown off, and I was unable to see where I was going. The river was not deep, but strong waves kept knocking me down, and I tumbled along with the current. Struggling to keep my head above water, I cried out:..... Finish reading HERE.

Can You Declare Your Righteousness in Christ When You Fail?
Michael Edwards
The people will declare, "The LORD is the source of all my righteousness and strength." Isa 45:24a NLT
When you find yourself failing, in the midst of reoccurring sin; can you say this and believe it?
I Am The Righteousness of God in Christ!
If you cannot say it and believe it when you have just sinned, quite possibly you do not fully believe that you are saved by grace alone through faith - EPH 2:8-9. You still think it is somewhat about you and your actions.
In opposition to what the Bible teaches, you are sin conscious instead of righteousness conscious, Jesus conscious. This grieves the Holy Spirit because he convicts believers of their righteousness - john 16:10. The enemy has deceived you into looking at yourself instead of the perfection of Jesus, who paid for all of your sins once and for all.
Think about it. If we are focused on our sins, we do not really believe they have been forgiven. We are saying what Jesus did was not enough to wash me clean.
If you want to stop sinning and what you have done to date has not worked, try Gods way instead. All the time and especially the next time you fail, in the midst of your sin, make this your declaration:
I Am The Righteousness of God in Christ!
The enemy will try and stop you, trying to get you to look at yourself and away from Jesus. Don't let him! Keep your focus on the spotless lamb that took your place and exchanged your sinfulness for His righteousness.
Stating this firmly when the enemy and every religious bone in your body try to fight you, will transform you by faith into the image of Christ.
It lets God know you really believe it is all about Jesus. It lets satan know you really believe God and slams the door shut on his attacks. Who can condemn those who God has justified? It lets you know that God's love for you is not dependent on your actions. He sees you in the perfection of Jesus.
It takes little or no faith to declare our righteousness in Christ when we are doing everything right. On the other hand, it takes sound and sincere faith to declare it when we fail. God wants us to live from faith to faith, walking in faith even when we fail.
I guarantee that if you do this, transforming your core belief, all the false beliefs that have been built upon this false core belief will fall away too. You will reign over sin instead of sin reigning over you.
This is the way to the freedom Jesus died to give you my friend. Say it now by faith, keeping it constantly on your mind and lips until you really believe it: I Am The Righteousness of God in Christ!
Once you believe it, Peace and Joy along with everything else you seek will follow.
If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of (HIS) righteousness. Rom 8:10 NAS (emphasis mine)
"For our sake he made him to be sin, who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of god" (2 Cor 5:21).
For while we were still helpless, at the right time, Christ died for the ungodly. For rarely will someone die for a just person — though for a good person perhaps someone might even dare to die. But God proves his own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. How much more then, since we have now been declared righteous by his blood, will we be saved through him from wrath. For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, then how much more, having been reconciled, will we be saved by his life. And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received this reconciliation. Rom 5:6-11 CSB
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD. Isaiah 54:7 KJV
“For in the gospel, the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: ‘the righteous will live by faith’” (Rom 1:17).

Support FaithWriters Spread of the Gospel
Fishers of Men in Over 230 Countries Together We Spread the Gospel On the Net
Not all of us can go around the world as missionaries in person, but we can reach the world online. We can even reach many places missionaries cannot go in person. The world needs sites like FaithWriters, prepared Christian authors and as many Christian articles and books that point to Jesus as possible. The web especially needs your Bible studies, apologetic articles, calls to salvation, nonfiction and fiction articles and books leading people to Jesus. Together we attract lost people from all over the world who need Jesus along with believers who need their minds renewed and encouraged. God has given us a great opportunity to reach many people who may have never heard of Jesus. The image above marks the location of our visitors.
Numerous people from around the world have accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior directly through FaithWriters. We contact every person who leaves an email address and provide them with more information. Sometimes we correspond with them several times. We even offer to place them in contact with another believer (FaithWriters member) in their country. Consider how much time people --- especially kids --- spend on the internet these days. Watch this two-minute video from Kimberly on how she found God on the internet
A few unedited emails from people who have accepted Jesus on the site.
1) This first one was from a person who hacked FaithWriters a few years ago. We feared the entire site might be lost. We prayed for our hackers and posted articles letting them know that their salvation was more important than the website. The shutdown of the site stopped and we received this message through our evangelism page. I am certain is was our hacker.
Type of prayer : first time prayer
Country : Algeria - Please leave a comment. : "I JESUS PRAY TODAY MAKE EVERYTHING BETTER I USED TO BE THIEF CRIMINAL IDENTITY SCAM BUT NOW LIFE IS BETTER UNDER JESUS CHRIST MY LORD SAVIOR."
Your work occupation : Other Religious background : Muslim
2) "Hi my name is Collin I live in Utah heber I know that we are n the last days and I want to be saved so please I need help I've been going to site to site I'm tired of going home from school a sinner I'm stressed with all my homework I cry more than ever sometimes I need Jesus." (This message was obviously from a young boy)
3) "I felt the the holyspirit lead me to you and that God's message of love drew me here."
4) "I want Jesus to be the number one in my life."
5) "I'm saved from sin and I've rededicated my life to HIM who owns me. I'm now free from lies, exam malpractice etc. Pray for me to believe that indeed "It is finished "
6) "I accepted Jesus as Lord and Need A Bible." (We sent Roger a Bible.)
7) "I have accepted Jesus and prayer not continue to commit sin any more." Matthew
8) Recently had a deputy police chief from a major city accept Jesus on the site. He is responsible for over 1,500 officers and staff and could be a big influence for Jesus. Please pray for J. Ramar.
9) "Jesus is my Lord and Savior, please save us from witchcraft, sorcery, divination, polygamy, immorality, astral projection, pride, all sin iniquity fathers, false religion, false gods, show me your way, give me purity, holiness, give me Jesus true, save me from work of devil, and evil spirit, kingdom of darkness be destroyed, give me holiness, save us from Satan and his work, premature death, I need to serve Jesus, thank You Jesus, Amen." Anna S.
We wish you many blessings in Christ and thank you for your support! Michael & Bea Edwards and everyone at FaithWriters

| | | Article Comment Emails Not Getting to Your Gmail?
In the past, some members have had issues receiving notification emails when their Challenge or other articles receive a comment. We just did a test of the system and placed a Gmail test address in my profile. I then posted a comment
on one of my articles. I also did this test on a Challenge article for a member who said she was not getting the emails. In both tests, the email notification of the comment did come through to the Gmail address, but in both cases it went to the junk file in Gmail. So, FaithWriters automatic email system
is working to Gmail but may be going to your junk.
If you have not been receiving notifications of comments on your articles, post a test comment on one of your own articles and then check the junk tab on your Gmail. Be aware, my junk tab in Gmail showed there were no junk emails until I clicked on it and found the comment notification email from FaithWriters in there. If you find any emails from FaithWriters in your junk, move them to your inbox and hopefully next
time they will not go to junk. Make sure to check your junk on a regular basis and click on the other tabs just to check. Each time move them to your inbox. There is also a tab titled "view all email" that should be checked. Sometimes Gmail divides email up into different tabs, so check all the tabs once in awhile just in case. This is something you should check if you have Hotmail or others too. |

| | Another Great Way to Improve The Critique CircleFellow Members Need Your Help.
Providing comments and critiques for fellow members is of great encouragement to them. It is also the perfect way to improve your writing skill.
Tips on Giving Critiques
Critiquing the work of others requires balance. Being too nice will not help your fellow writers develop their work; being too harsh can crush a writer’s ego (particularly new writers, who tend to be shy about sharing their work). How can you achieve the right balance? Here are some tips:
Take care to point out both what works, and what doesn’t. If you’re new to critiquing, a good hint would be to point out one thing you like (a phrase, a description, an idea) for each thing that bothered you.
Whenever possible, be specific when pointing out things that you didn’t like (don’t just say “I didn’t like this part” or “I’d cut that,” say “I didn’t like this part because…” or “I’d cut that because…”).
Try to offer suggestions when you think a change is needed. Suggestions, even to the point of an offered rewording, can be very helpful; even if the suggestion isn’t exactly right for the author to use, he or she may get a good idea from it, or at least a better understanding of the point you are trying to make.
Be honest and direct, but in a polite and caring way. Holding back your feelings about a piece because you’re afraid to share your thoughts isn’t going to help anyone. Just be mindful of how you share your opinions!
We Also Need Your Article to Critique!
Members and paid editors provide the critiques in the circle. You can even submit your judged Challenge entries to the circle.
"I have a few, very few, trusted friends who will edit me with a scowl. Most people want you to feel good so they give you compliments about your writing, and these don’t help at all (except emotionally). Really, you need some grouches to edit your work." Philip Yancey in a FaithWriters interview.
This is a real chance to help others and receive some very constructive and private critiques of your writing.

| | | Increase Sales With an Audio Book or Make a Nice Income From HomeRecently, I had an email exchange with Dave Walker, a longtime FaithWriters member who grew tremendously in the Writing Challenge. Dave's book, God in the ICU, has done very well with almost 600 Amazon reviews the last time I looked. He was happily surprised to see a significant increase in sales due to the addition of an audio version. You can view Dave's book and listen to a small audio portion HERE. Dave's book was perfect for an audiobook. Dave did his narration, and for some, that might work out great. But there is an easier way and it is not that expensive. You can learn about it HERE. ACX is an Amazon company, on their site you can place your book up for narrator auditions. You then get offers from narrators who read a sample for you, posting it on ACX. You choose the one you like and make a deal. This is all done online. I recently had an audiobook done of Gravity on ACX, by a great narrator and believer named R.F. McCoy. You can hear a sample HERE. If you like R.F. McCoy's voice, make sure to request an audition from him. He was professional, diligent and on schedule. You can find his profile on ACX. It costs nothing to request auditions and you will probably get several. I paid Bob $500.00 and keep any profits myself after Amazon's cut. You can also offer to split profits and pay nothing if a narrator agrees. When your narration is complete and you have paid the bill, your book is automatically loaded for sale on Audible and other outlets. Everything is professional and that's what you want for your audiobook. Another thought for some readers is to apply to be a narrator. ACX will show you how to do this on their site. If you have a good voice, you could make a nice income from home. |
