Favorite quote of the Day: Marcus Aurelius

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts... take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.

Salvation

We're not sure how much longer this old world has to last.  With so much bad being accelerated, and so much disregard to what is good and moral, it doesn't look like we can ever return to a time where godly, biblical morals will take precedence.  Unfortunately, sin is the culprit. Sin is an adjective that describes all bad in general.  Sin is also in our spiritual DNA.  That's why we all struggle to consistently do right.  It is also what separates us from God.

Did you know that we are separated from God without Jesus Christ in our life as Savior?  If we're separated from God, only our faith in the Gospel of Jesus can restore our relationship with God.  Jesus is the only known person that made promises only a God can deliver.  He is the only God among gods that rose from the dead and was seen by many after His resurrection.

The Bible says that "no one can come to the Father except through Christ".  Therefore, if we wish to escape the penalty of sin, restore our connection with God, and reap the benefit of eternal life, we must turn from our sinful ways, believe and confess that Jesus is Lord and simply ask Him to be Lord and Savior of our lives.  Rom. 10:9-10, 13.

Here's a simple prayer you may say:  Dear God, I admit that I’m a sinner and realize that my sins have separated me from You.  I repent for my sins.  I acknowledge and believe you are the Son of God and that you died, was buried, and rose on the third day to offer the gift of eternal life.  I give my life to you by trusting in You now and forever.  Come into my heart right now as I claim your forgiveness for my sins and save my soul from eternal wrath. I accept your gift of eternal life. From this day forward, I will turn from my old life and live for you.  Amen.

If you have prayed this prayer, let it be known that it is not the prayer that saved you, it is your faith and trust in the Lord Jesus that saves a person.

Please contact the church, if you have accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior.
