Oh let the Son of God and found you with his spirit and his life,

let him fill your heart and satisfy your soul.

Oh, let him have the things that hold you

and his spirit like a dove will descend upon your life and make you

home.

Welcome to the Word for today,

featuring the Bible Teaching of Pastor Chuck Smith,

founder of the Calvary Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a verse by verse study through the entire

Bible. And on today's edition of the word for today,

Pastor Chuck continues with the right thing in the wrong way as we pick up in First Chronicles chapter 13

verse 7 and now with today's message here's pastor Chuck now you're trying to do a

right thing you want to get men to Jesus Christ but you're trying to do a right thing, you want to get men to Jesus Christ, but you're doing

it in the wrong way.

God didn't say that we were to get fancy advertising schemes and all of this kind of stuff to bring men to Jesus Christ.

A lot of work for God, legitimate work that should be done, is done in a wrong way.

And so because we have been doing things in a wrong way,

then we've got to raise funds to support the wrong way method of doing things. And we make a travesty of God by the way we get up to raise funds.

It is a shame the methods that people use to extract money for the so-called

work of God. I am embarrassed as a Christian of the junk that goes on on

television in their fundraising efforts and methods. It to me is an absolute embarrassment.

And they are motivating people the wrong way.
