Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. (Matthew 7:21)
I think this is where modern day Christians mess up. We've been told, or at least it seems that I've heard, all we have to do is say that Jesus Christ is the Son of the Living God, repent and be baptized. (Confess, Repent, Baptize) Well, I think there is a little more than that to being a Christian. Confess, repent and be baptized is a requirement and the way to begin your walk. Once you have taken this very important first step . . . remember, it is just that - the first step, you have to continue the walk.
You have to walk the walk and it ain't easy.
It becomes a little easier when you realize that if you relax and listen to God (Which means actually studying his word and thinking about what you are learning and allowing it to sink in while you walk the walk. And searching out and finding others who are like minded so you can encourage each other.) you'll find that the things of the world fall away, and your eyes, your heart and your soul naturally focus on what is really important and not what you used to think was important.
Please don't be deluded into thinking you are saved simply because you say you are a Christian.
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven . . .
On this day the Lord has made . . .
As I was driving home from the grocery store I heard a man on the radio ask what we were leaving our children/grandchildren. He mentioned how he would choose, over any amount of money, the writings from his grandfather . . . if he had left any.
So, I have determined to create a diary/journal of what happened to me on this day(s) the Lord has granted me.

Prayer List
- Thank you Father thank you.
- Lord, extend the kingdom of your Son.
- O Merciful God, who hast made all men, and hatest nothing that thou hast made, nor desirest the death of a sinner, but rather that he should be converted and live; Have mercy upon all who know thee not as thou are revealed in the Gospel of thy Son. Take from them all ignorance, hardness of heart, and contempt of thy Word; and so fetch them home, blessed Lord to thy fold, that they may be one flock under one shepherd, Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.
- God please take the blinders from my children's heart and eyes. Please give them the gift of faith. Lord God, faith in you is so comforting and brings so much joy. Thank you!
- God please bless Michael, Lindsay, and their families with faith, wisdom, and compassion. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
- God thank you for the gift of my co-workers who have shown me that it is good to show that I am a Christian. It is more than okay, it is imperative that my faith shows, so that others can come to know you. Please make me into a shining light for you. Give me the words, and your wisdom, and please don't let me cause anyone to stumble.
- God please be with my family/friends as they go through this time in their lives. Please give them strength and courage and wisdom and faith Lord.
- God please guide the leaders of the world.
- God please heal my children.
