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.

good news

The Gospel

James MacDonald is talking about Dogs. People who subvert the word of God. People who add to the word of God. People who take away from the word of God.

I may have been, I may be, a dog. Forgive me Lord. Forgive me my friends.

My only worry should be that people come to know Jesus. The rest of it is between them and God.

All we have to do is get a un-believer to see is that Jesus Christ came unto this earth to pay the debt of our sin . . . then God will take care of the rest. He certainly has with me.

The good news is: God's grace is the only thing that saves us. God's grace through Jesus Christ is freely given. All anyone has to do is ask.

You do not have to wait until you give up gambling, living in sin, drinking or any other thing that you know is bad for you or for someone else, etc. You don't have to wait until you give up anything. There is nothing you can do that will save you except - tell God that you know that He sent His Son and that Jesus Christ is Lord. Do it right now. Look into it if you have any questions, or any hesitation - ask me, ask another Christian, but please - tell God that you know He sent his Son to this earth and that you know that Christ is Lord.

Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Jesus Christ is Lord!

I can only hope for you that you will come to desire a personal relationship with Him after this grace is given. I say this because my life has changed in so many ways, as I learn more, and open my heart more. I know I was saved a long time ago, even though the fruits of that conversion may not have shown to the general public, after all, I am slow in most things. :) But the joy I get to feel when I see God working here and now is life affirming, and I'm not talking about this earthly life affirming, but the little glimpses of eternal life and God's power and love.

Jesus Christ, that God the Father, and that the Holy Spirit knows that we are all ugly sinners, weak people and they don't care about our ugly. They know, and they still love us. There is nothing that you have done, or will do, that will separate you from the love that our God offers. His offer of grace comes to everyone equally.

Please do not let anyone (including me) stop you from coming to Christ. Don't let anything (gambling, sex, abortion, drinking, drugs . . .) stop you from coming to Christ.
