The cost of sin

How many of us have lied just a tiny bit to cut corners? Maybe to get a child into an amusement park at a discounted price? The cashier gave me too much change back but it was her fault she doesn't know how to count, or how about lying about a child's age to get a free meal or a discounted meal. Whatever the case may be because there are many to pick from and I'm sure that at one time in our life we have ALL been guilty of this sin.

What makes this sin any more different that any other sin or less of the sin of murder? Sin is sin no matter what the sin is. Sin is serious-all sin. We tend to categorize into more and less tolerable categories. The truth is all sins lead to death; all sin is abominable in God's sight. And for all our sin, even the littlest lie or tiniest cover-up, Jesus died. Sin actually made us enemies with God. He is perfect in all His ways; sin can not exist in his presence. So we in our sinful state, we are eternally separated from Him. But God made a way for us to come to him, through the sacrifice of His perfect, sinless Son. " He made the one who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him" (2Corinthians5:21)". Therefor because of the great price that God paid to put our sin to death, we live in gratitude for the debt He has paid on our behalf. We are to obey Him, not out of fear or compulsion, but as a response to the astounding love, grace, mercy HE the God almighty has freely given to us.

Dear Jesus, thank you for paying the price for our sins. Help us to live in the light of the sacrifices You made out of love for us. Forgive us for where we have failed you. Thank you for our salvation. Thank you for paying the ultimate price for us. In you sweet precious name we pray
Amen!

I AM THE BIBLE

I AM THE BIBLE, God's wonderful library. I am always and above all-the truth.
To the weary pilgrim, I am a strong staff.
To the one who sits in darkness, I am the glorious light.
To those who stumble beneath heavy burdens, I am the sweet rest.
To him who has lost his way, I am a safe guide.
To those who are sick in sin, I am the healing strength and forgiveness.
To the discourages, I am a message of hope.
To those who are distressed and tossed about by the storms of life, I am an anchor, sure and steadfast.
To those who search for salvation, I reveal the Savior of the world.

I AM THE BIBLE

The seasons change

As we all know that the season change several times a year i have made a change in my life.
i believe it to be a change for the better. I feel that God has asked me to make some changes in my life and to get closer with him as i do. So therefore, i have turned over a new leaf or to speak flipped my heart to walk closer with god. I encourage everyone out there to evaluate their own self and see if there is anything you could do to make you walk closer with God.

I haven't blogged in awhile because i have had things going on that make me depressed and i don't want to blog about all the depressing things in my life, i want to write about the good things i have done for God's glory, i feel that all the bad is finally gone and i have nothing but good to look forward too. I know and have learned that God never gives us anything that we cant handle but only to make us stronger.

this is something id like to share with you that we received from church a few Sundays ago.

The Teachers Psalm

The Lord is my helper; I shall not fear in Guiding these pupils.

He leadeth me to the heart of the truth and prepareth the mind of the pupils for the truth.

He giveth me a vision of the immortality of these lives.

He leadeth me me to see the sacredness of teaching his book.

Yea, though i become discourages and despair at times, yet shall i lift my head, for his promises cannot fail me.

His word will not return to him void, and my faith undimmed shall burn through all the coming years.

Thou walkest before me that the seed planted shall grow.

Thou shalt stand by my side on Sunday and speak through these lips so that these pupils may feel the nearness of God.

Thou shalt cause each broken effort to gather sheaves through unnumbered years. My void is full when i know that every effort in thy name shall abide forever.

Surely Thy love and watchcare shall be with me everyday of my life, and some day I shall live with those who turn many to righteousness for ever and ever.

Beautiful hugh?

As i learned when we have problems as long as we turn to God and not away from him he will always be there for us no matter what. Trust in God and he will provide.

Have a Blessed Day

confused, shocked, worried

OK here goes and please keep in mind this is only an opinion and its my opinion as well. i just do not our people in our country would want to vote for someone who wants to kill babies. Doesn't that make them murderers? i believe that would should all have the right to make our own choices but i was taught that only
God had the right to decide whether a baby should live or not because he is the one who gives us our first breath of air. if he doesn't feel that baby should live than the woman would never had gotten pregnant nor carried it for 9 months unless God had a plan for that child. Can i get an Amen! I strongly believe that God has a plan for all of us no matter who we are, and what we may think, or how we may feel.

I'm am honestly scared to death to think what is going to happens to our once beautiful country now that a certain man is going to be president.

Gay marriages? what in the world is up with that? it states in the bible how wrong that is. I am assuming that people don't believe in the Word of God because it states it in the bible. I feel so sorry for those who don't listen to word of God b/c God is going to reak havoc on some people. Gesesh I'm scare for all the non-believers and Godless people, Antichrist whatever it might be. I am proud to be a christian in this world today and I'm glad to know i will not fear anything because God is my best friend and i know hes got my back, he and i will walk side by side for the rest of my life and i can honestly say if i died right now i know i am going to heaven, and that is something that I COULD USE TO NOT SAY.

i guess that is enough rantin and raving about politics today. hope you have a wonderful and blessed day
