Br. John McGlone Witnessing to a Chat Rep from Sears

Taking Time to Plow, Plant, and Water with Salesmen, Technicians, Pollsters, and other Souls Online, the Phone or Anywhere! 

1) Jesse White Maytag introduced its spokesman as “the loneliest guy in town” in 1967, in a campaign created by its ad agency at the time, Leo Burnett Chicago. Jesse White played the role for more than two decades, filming 68 commercials as the character who cultivates habits such as solitaire, crossword puzzles and bead work because he is rarely called upon to repair a machine. He would also come to be known as “Ol’ Lonely.”Jesse White

We have several refrigerators/freezers in our home, which get abused sometimes and I have to order parts for them.  I started an online chat with a Sears Parts Support Technician, named Spencer, I really enjoyed chatting with him from the beginning of our interaction.  But, you will see by the end of our conversation, I purposely turned the conversation to spiritual things.  I try to take the time to do this with anyone who I need to call for help, or someone who calls to sell or petition me at home.  Have you ever gotten a call from India?  I have and they believe in jesus, but their jesus is just one of millions of gods.  God knows what He can do in a person’s heart in that land by simple obedience of the saints to be unashamed of Jesus.  I hope they will be sober enough to listen to my Gospel presentation, so that we may see them in eternity.  One concept that freed me up in evangelism twelve years ago is the subtitle above; plowing, planting, watering with God granting the increase.  This is biblical and I realized that I didn’t have to get a ‘convert’ right there but to disciple myself and other believers that we would be about the spiritual agronomy of our Father’s business planting and watering. So, you can see by the end of the conversation we were really interacting on an intimate yet spiritual level even though I don’t know him from Adam.  As we ended our call, I wondered after him with compassion, hope,and a prayer that he will actually seek first the Kingdom of God and everything else will be added to him.

 

Spencer (23:20:36 GMT) : Hello John!
Spencer (23:20:43 GMT) : Welcome to Sears parts sales department! What parts may I order for you?
john mcglone (23:20:44 GMT) : FFHS2611LWHA we need the bottom door shelf
Spencer (23:20:51 GMT) : Thank you for the model number.
john mcglone (23:20:52 GMT) : hey spencer!
john mcglone (23:20:58 GMT) : welcome
Spencer (23:21:01 GMT) : How are you doing?
john mcglone (23:21:05 GMT) : good you?
Spencer (23:21:18 GMT) : Me too good, thank you for asking!
Spencer (23:21:25 GMT) : I will be glad to help you locating the door shelf for you.
john mcglone (23:21:34 GMT) : gr8t….[we had much going back and forth at this point finding two different shelves for two different models, so I’ll cut to the end of the chat]

2) Gordon Jump The actor who first became known as station manager Arthur Carlson on the sitcom “WKRP in Cincinatti” took over the Maytag repairman role from Jesse White in 1989 and starred in the company’s commercials until 2003.

Spencer (23:31:35 GMT) : Sure, John. 
john mcglone (23:32:49 GMT) : Ok gr8, God forbid if you died today and stood before Jesus Christ, would you be guilty or innocent?
john mcglone (23:34:49 GMT) : Spencer?
Spencer (23:35:03 GMT) : I am sorry, I think I will be guilty. 
Spencer (23:35:21 GMT) : I was thinking about it. 
john mcglone (23:35:36 GMT) : Okay, if you are guilty where would you go? Good to think carefully about your soul…
Spencer (23:37:04 GMT) : I think he is kind enough and if I will beg for pardon, I will be forgiven. 
john mcglone (23:37:43 GMT) : JUDGMENT DAY is not where you get mercy. Mercy must be had in this life while you breathe here or you will be condemned. That is according to the Bible.
Spencer (23:38:15 GMT) : I totally agree, John!
john mcglone (23:38:16 GMT) : He is kind enough to offer you pardon through Jesus Christ now. The Bible says, ‘Today is the day of salvation…”
Spencer (23:38:41 GMT) : Very true! 
john mcglone (23:38:44 GMT) : I’m glad you do. You’ve been born again of the Holy Ghost?
Spencer (23:39:50 GMT) : I am planning to.
john mcglone (23:40:40 GMT) : What if you die before you surrender?
Spencer (23:41:12 GMT) :  With gods grace, very soon that will happen. 
Spencer (23:41:16 GMT) : Hope you are a blessing to others 
john mcglone (23:41:45 GMT) : I hope that I am as well. Will you check this link? http://www.jesuspreacher.com/becoming-a-christian/
Spencer (23:41:55 GMT) : Sure, John!
john mcglone (23:41:56 GMT) : put it in your smart phone!
Spencer (23:42:00 GMT) : Thank you very much!
john mcglone (23:42:12 GMT) : You’re welcome, I care about you.
john mcglone (23:42:20 GMT) : Love Jesus, Hate Evil!
Spencer (23:42:45 GMT) : I’m glad to see that someone isn’t afraid to address such a topic.
Spencer (23:42:54 GMT) : It was really nice chatting with you.
Spencer (23:43:01 GMT) : Have a great evening ahead!
john mcglone (23:43:13 GMT) : It’s so important! Nice talking to you as well. I hope to see you in the Kingdom of Christ!
Spencer (23:43:29 GMT) : Me too, John!
Take care!
john mcglone (23:43:32 GMT) : Good bye Spence…

Dear friend in Christ if you look at the ‘hook’ highlighted in red above you will find that it is an excellent spiritual question which; brings about the hard topic of death, urgency of ‘today’, shows compassion[God forbid], names the Name of Christ, and asks them to judge themselves whether they be guilty or innocent[appeal to the conscience/law].  This gives them time to really think about their own life IF they stood before God today.  Then you will see the fishing line of the blue highlighted question, “If you are guilty, where will you go, heaven or hell?”  Which really is an attention grabber and opens them up to humble interactions.

Saints, I hope you are encouraged and edified with these concepts/ideas and practice and implementing them right away.  Lastly, you will find this works anywhere, anytime, with anyone of any religion, cultural, or experiential background.    Try it in line at Walmart, Lowes, at the auto repair shop, school, your ‘church’, etc.

May God bless you with many Kingdom rewards for His glory!

 

 

 

America in Distress! Flying Our Flag Union Down

Flying the Colors Union Down, July 4, 2016 Nashville, TN

by John McGlone

Today I took my retirement flag out of it’s case of 15 years, and flew it upside down at the 4th of July event in Nashville. This was a warning and sign of imminent danger and distress for our country. See subpara (a) It got lots of attention all day long as I knew it would.  However, I am not seeking to disrespect our country, flag, or people by doing so.

I am not a homosexual, socialist, or Muslim who was burning or stomping on our flag. I am a Christian American who served 21 years in the Navy, exercising my duty to warn my countrymen displaying our flag in a lawful manner. Not many know of this display, but I have handled the Ensign and Union Jack for our ships thousands of times. Ceremonies daily at 0800 every morning, sunset every evening, funerals, burials at sea, ship commissioning, decommissioning, gun salutes, etc…This display got lots of emotional tirades, some humble questions, and lots of thought provoking of careless Americans on one of our most celebrated of holidays in Nashville , TN where the week before the District Court was bathed in homosexual rainbow banners/flags flying high and ‘proud’.

Here are some of the reasons why God is angry with Americans and is judging our country:  1.  Abortion 60 million plus innocent babies murdered  2.Homo and Hetero Sexual perversions/approval  3.  Militant Feminism  4.  Destruction of the Family  5. Corrupt Goverment/politicians  6.  Wicked Educational, Medical, Social, and Financial establishments.  7.  Rejecting God and His Word in every area of our culture.

 

This demonstration of our union down as we fly ‘Old glory’  is a lawful way to display our flag as you can see here. I am warning, God’s JUDGMENT is about to fall. Homo and Hetero Sodomy is a threat to National Security! God firebombed Sodom and Gomorrah for these very things. We are putting our lives and property in dire danger and imminent distress of God wrath IF we don’t repent of our national and individual sins!

 

U.S. Code › Title 4 › Chapter 1 › § 8
4 U.S. Code § 8 – Respect for flag

Current through Pub. L. 114-38. (See Public Laws for the current Congress.)

US Code
Notes
prev | next

No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor.

(a) The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.

(b) The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water, or merchandise.

(c) The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free.

(d) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker’s desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general.

(e) The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to permit it to be easily torn, soiled, or damaged in any way.

(f) The flag should never be used as a covering for a ceiling.

(g) The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.

(h) The flag should never be used as a receptacle for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering anything.

(i) The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard. Advertising signs should not be fastened to a staff or halyard from which the flag is flown.

(j) No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart.

(k) The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.
(Added Pub. L. 105–225, § 2(a), Aug. 12, 1998, 112 Stat. 1497.)

This retirement flag which I received after 21 years of military service in the U.S. Navy had been flown over the U.S.S. Arizona if any know what that means and where that is…

Lastly a warning from Scripture for all you patriots out there:

2 Pet 2:4-22 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; 6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; 7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: 8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) 9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: 10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. 11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. 12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; 13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; 14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: 15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; 16 But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice forbad the madness of the prophet. 17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. 18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. 19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. 20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

Instead of singing, “God bless America”, we need to start blessing God both in song and our conduct.  May God stay His hand of execution that we may repent as a nation and return to Him who establishes nations.

 

Is God Blessing or Cursing America?

Celebrating the Blessing or Cursing of God

– July 4th, 2016

2 Chron 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

During this patriotic season and celebration of the Independence of America, I am torn and conflicted in many ways.  I have my experiences, my family’s emigration, heritage and military service to it, our people, our ‘freedoms’ enjoyed by no other nation, our civil and Constitutional foundation and framework, the blood and lives of my countrymen shed and laid down for it, the traditions of our fathers, etc all come to a head and in conflict against concepts I see in the Bible.  America needs to become dependent on God once again.

What is the complete concept that is expressed in the previous passage from 1 Chr 7?  It is God speaking to Solomon, the wisest man/leader the world has ever seen about the condition of God’s land and people and what God would do in response the the people’s idolatry and if they fail to repent of their wickedness.  This nation that we live in has been greatly blessed by the Creator of the Universe because we have honored Him in the past with obedience to His law and statutes as a people.

2 Chr 7:12-22 And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice. 13 If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; 14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 15 Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.
16 For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually. 17 And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and shalt observe my statutes and my judgments; 18 Then will I stablish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel. 19 But if ye turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them; 20 Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations. 21 And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to every one that passeth by it; so that he shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and unto this house? 22 And it shall be answered, Because they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath he brought all this evil upon them.

This word evil doesn’t just mean moral impurity, it also means destruction.  We know that God is morally perfect and pure so this certainly means of God’s willingness to bring destruction upon the people and the land with great consequences.  This is what is currently happening to America.  Our land which has been defiled with abortion, sexual deviations like homosexuality, bestiality, and pedophlia, divorce, pornography, fornication, corrupt politics, greed, and false teachers.  This has led us into not a backsliding from the faith once delivered to the saints, but is a moral and religious freefall where we see ‘churches’ marching in gay pride parades, approving, and promoting such wickedness even to the children where no standard of conduct is imposed upon anyone because ‘Christians’ have been lied to and convinced that judgment is not allowed in the aforesaid faith.  We can’t even examine or judge ourselves, according to them, though the Bible clearly teaches that we should.  See webpage here on CHRISTIAN JUDGMENT.

Isa 13:9-13 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it. 10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine. 11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. 12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir. 13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.

Pro 14:34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

When will our people learn that God is not fooled by our theologies, our pastors, our desire for secret sin, which are an abomination to Him?  We have churches filled on every corner, yet we can’t muster a squad of godly men in a city like Nashville, Louisville or even LA to carry the trumpet and banners of the Lord to the enemies of God.  We have churches filled with people who have made up a god for themselves.  His name is jesus christ.  He is another christ, another gospel which the Bible clearly warns against.

May God stay His Hand of Judgment, If my people will…
