Right With God

Romans 3:21,22 (NLT)

"But now God has shown us a different way of being right in His sight--not by obeying the law but by the way promised in the Scriptures long ago. We are made right in God's sight when we trust in Jesus Christ to take away our sins. And we all can be saved in this same way, no matter who we are or what we have done."


I just started a new Sunday School class a few weeks ago and we are studying the book of Romans. As I started reading it on my own I came to Romans 3: 21, 22. To me this verse shows me that as a Gentle I too can be saved. I need only to trust in Jesus Christ to take away my sins. I did that in 1966 and I must say it has not only been a blessing but a help in time of need. I know that Jesus is the Son of God and that Jesus died on the cross and rose again and is now with His Father. Jesus is coming back for me and all of those who have accepted Him and are in the family of God.

I am waiting to hear that trumpet and see my Lord coming in a cloud to raise the dead first and then myself if I am still alive.

Are you excited about being in God's family? Are you in God's family? Have you done what the Scripture has said and trust in Jesus Christ to take away your sins. I hope so.

What a great gift we received and I have so much joy when I read the Bible and learn how God wants me to live. His standard is high, but well worth setting forth a goal to follow it.

Years Gone By

I enjoy reading about history. Right now I am reading a lot of books dealing with time period of 1861-63.

Right now I am reading a diary written by Caroline Cowles Richards. She started her diary in 1852, when she was ten, and finished writing it in 1880. What I found most interesting was that every morning before she would go to school Caroline would read three chapters in the Bible everyday and five chapters on Sunday. This would take her through the Bible in a year.

In school the children would read the Bible and pray. If only our children could do that today.

At least we can teach our children or grandchildren that if they are a true believer they can pray anytime and anywhere. It might not be out loud, but they can pray silently and God hears them. I am so happy for this. Are you?

Who Do you Say Jesus Is?

In Matthew 16:13-17 Jesus asked His disciples who did the people think Jesus was. Some thought Jesus was John the Baptist. Some thought He was Elijah.Others thought He was Jeremiah or one of the prophets.

Then Jesus asked His disciples, "Who do you think I am?" Simon Peter answered right away, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

Jesus answered him and said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for no human has told you this, but it was My Father in heaven.

My question to you is, Who do you say Jesus is?

Pray For Your Pastor

It was layed upon my heart this morning that it is very important for all of us to pray for our Pastors. They have a big responsibility to help us grow in our Christian life.We need to support them in prayer. The Bible requires it and it pleases the Lord that we are doing His will.

Our Special Garden

Our Special Garden

When it is time
that I need to talk to
my Heavenly Father I say
to Him, "Father can we meet in our garden?"
He says, "I am here waiting for you."

O what joy and sorrow we have together.
I tell Him everything like I see it.
Sometimes my thinking may be right
and sometimes its not. But we get
everything cleared up.

I'm always told I am loved and God
loves for me to come to our special
garden and to become one.

When You Are Feeling Blue

When You Are Feeling Blue

There is one thing you can do
that will help you not feel blue

has done for you.

Count your blessing and look at the good
for what you thing is what you will do.

So be happy and enjoy life
for that is how to please the Lord.
Make Him happy today and you
will find that you will be happy too.
