The Lord Jesus Christ is to be praised.
He is the only begotten Son of God.
He is our Lord and Savior who died on a cross at Calvary
to pay the price for our sins. (thank You Jesus. I'll love You forever.)
So my question to you today is..."Dear friend, How is your soul?,
If death should come for you today, would you be going home to Father God?
........Do you really know?"

Greetings! This is my second blog here on blogspot -yet, to me, this blog has more importance than the other. This blog (I hope) will lead you to a strong love of the Lord Jesus Christ, if you don't know Him already, and an even stronger love for Him if you do. May God Bless you richly as you go on this journey with me. Please know that I am disabled (multiple sclerosis) and I will be able to work on this blog only as my health allows. -WELCOME!
First of all, I want to mention that I'm an ordained minister. I was ordained on December 29, 2005. I have all rights and privileges to perform all duties of the ministry. I love the Lord God with all my heart; -The Triune God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.- Without God, my life would be worthless and I would be nothing.*
****************************************************
I remember when I was young. I never thought about the future. At least, I don't remember that I did. I just handled life as it came to me., day by day, the best I could. The best I knew how. I never thought I would end up being sick. I never really gave anything much deep thought. I was just interested in playing around. I was never taught the things that I needed to learn. My parents weren't much for teaching. They figured I'd learn on my own I guess. They never told me about this life. They never told me that after we're done with this one, there's another. (They might not have told me because they might not have known.)
I know now, and you need to know.
You need to listen. I know that you believe there is a God. (please don't act like you don't want to hear this. I was that way too! I didn't want to hear. It's humiliating to say, but I used to make fun of people who love God; That's how wicked I was. I thought they were stupid, when it was me who was the stupid one.) I want to tell you how much He loves you. Jesus loves you. The Bible says, "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." "There is none righteous; No, not one." Everybody has sinned. The Bible tells us that the price we have to pay when we die, for the sins we've committed is HELL, for ALL ETERNITY. No one can get to Heaven because they've been good.; (or better than some, or not as bad as others, or because they can remember when they've done some good things, or didn't do some bad things, etc.) Nothing that isn't HOLY can enter Heaven. God knew this, He knew that without Him, there was no hope for the Human race. So, God provided the way that the lost could be saved. His Son, our Creator, The Lord Jesus Christ, came down from Heaven; He was born of a virgin for one purpose. The sins that we've committed, He came to pay (for us) the penalty that was required for those actions. He knew that the penalty that was required was going to cost Him the shedding of His Precious Blood. He knew that we needed a Redeemer, a Savior, Someone pure, Someone Holy. The price for our sins had to be paid! He came to die for us; and He did, on a Cross. He was beaten so badly He didn't even look human. We might be able to imagine someone giving their life, to save the life of a real good person, but I wasn't good. I wasn't holy....and He died for me on that Cross. And He died for you. If you were the only person, He would have died just for you. That is how much He loves us. What He did on that cross was His gift to you and me. He was sinless, and He died for the sinful. I remember a preacher, telling about the early days of his ministry. He was talking to a young girl and he said, "Wouldn't you like to confess to the Lord that you're a sinner and that you need Him to be your Savior?" Her mom walked into the room and said, " Sinner?...Sinner?...my little girl isn't a sinner. She's never done anything wrong. She's only 15 years old!" The preacher said, "Oh, ...all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Her mother said, "My daughter doesn't need to be a Christian." The daughter just smiled and looked so self-satisfied. She said no to the Gift, no to the preacher's Savior. The preacher left, went on down the road....phone rings, it's the girl's mother, she says, " Preacher, can you come back and preach my daughter's funeral? She's gone."
She had sat in her living room and said she didn't need Jesus! She made her decision.
15 years old and in Hell. That was more than 45 years ago, and she's no more closer to leaving Hell today, than the day she arrived. She'll be there for eternity. Her choice was Heaven or Hell. She chose Hell. That's a choice we all have to make. Ignoring Jesus, or ignoring these chances that we get to accept Him as our Savior, means choosing Hell.
If you know that you're not saved, yet you've found yourself in a place of decision, then you understand that God loved you so much , that He sent His Son to die for you; but you also realize that you never accepted that love and asked the Lord Jesus to be your Savior. Please surrender to Him now and pray this simple prayer:
My dear Lord Jesus, I understand that I'm a sinner, and now more than ever before, I realize that I need You. I believe You are God's one and only Son. I believe You came to earth and walked as a man. I believe that You died on a cross to pay the price for my sins. (to redeem me)
And I believe that You Rose again. With that faith my Lord Jesus, I ask You to forgive me for all the sins that I've committed. Please come into my heart and wash me white as snow. I confess that from this day forward, You shall be my Lord and I will live for You, and I will be waiting for You on the day You come to call me Home to Heaven with You. I praise You and thank You for saving me. In Your Precious Name I pray, Jesus. AMEN.
<>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <><
I love you all so much, my friends, I had to tell you about my Lord. I'll be praying that you'll make your Decision for the Lord. It will change your life.
