Christian Men at Work Podcast


Sep 9, 2018

What You'll Hear:
  • Gary became a Christian when he was 9 years old in a small church in 1960 in OK.  A women evangelist was preaching
  • He answered the call to be a minister at age 15 and began a traveling ministry to hundreds of youth
  • In 2005 Gary started BALNAM which stands for Be a Light Not a Mouth.  He started showing compassion and listening and serving and finding unique ways to let them know you care.
  • Dying to yourself through selfless serving
  • Phil 3:10, conforming to His death
  • The mindset of so many people is that love is nothing but a word
  • In 1998 Gary was broken with compassion
  • On a daily basis, Gary and his wife challenge themselves whether they are doing things for themselves or for the Kingdom
  • Jesus chose to give of Himself because He loved us so much, how can we not do the same for Him
  • God never told the government to feed the homeless, that was always the responsibility of His children
  • When you serve others you begin to have compassion for them, not the other way around
  • You'll never get compassion reading a book or watching a TV program
  • When you stay with a group of people, faithfulness and fruitfulness comes making hard decisions and being loyal to each other
  • The Lord put a love for motorcycles in Gary long ago.  It became a tool for him to open doors with others.
  • Sending money to feed the homeless won't cut much mustard when we meet God on judgment day
  • Once a year they go to Montana to give a horse away to Native Americans
  • They rode their motorcycles from London to Jerusalem
  • They do a diaper run from coast to coast in less than 50 hours to collect diapers and baby wipes and raise funds. Abortion has made a mockery of God's name.
  • Quit trying to start ministries, go out and serve
  • Psalm 38:7-8 is Gary's life verse
  • Work life balance in the natural sense is not the same as balance in the spiritual sense
  • When driving, quit listening to sermons and preaching and instead just start being quiet and listening to God
