Now playing: Just a Closer Walk With Thee
Dear friends,
The intent of this ministry is to be of a help and a blessing to the lost person and to those who have trusted Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour and Lord. The Lord has so graciously blessed me since He saved me on Friday the 13th of November in 1992, to have given me over 130 articles concerning topics ranging from salvation to spiritual growth. It is my most earnest prayer and desire that He will use this ministry as a very real and lasting blessing to all who will visit.
I believe that within these pages you will find that there is something for every one and like the wonderful Gospel of Jesus Christ, it's absolutely free. I hope you will take the time to browse these pages and that you will come back often.
Please feel free to send us your prayer requests and I assure you that they will be earnestly lifted up before God's great Throne of Grace and that they will be kept in complete confidence. Please read my article entitled, "The Privilege Of Prayer". Also feel free to send us your comments and/or suggestions as we welcome and appreciate them all. Thank you for your visit and may God richly bless you and may He use this ministry to do so. And again, please come back soon and tell others about it.
Romans 1:16 says, "For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek." I was a good church member for years. I had joined the church and been baptized and lived as good a life as I could. I had even married a preacher's daughter. But I was lost and on my way to hell. On Friday the 13th of November in 1992, the Gospel of Christ was presented to me and I received Jesus Christ into my heart and life. Jesus Himself called this being "born again". These pages are indeed filled with that glorious Gospel and I would not have this page to be an exception.
The pure and simple Gospel of Christ is:
You my dear friend are a sinner, just like I am a sinner. Romans 3:23 says, "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God;". Now, we are not sinners because we sin. We sin because we are sinners. The truth is that we are all born sinners. And the wages or penalty for those sins is death as we read in Romans 6:23, "For the wages of sin is death;..." But the Good News or Gospel of Jesus Christ is found in the rest of that same verse where we read, "but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." You are indeed a sinner my friend, just as I am a sinner, but Jesus Christ has paid the penalty for your sins and mine when He laid down His life on the cross and was buried and rose again on the third day and ascended back up to heaven giving us the victory over death and hell.
The question now is, not whether or not you are a good person. And it is not whether or not you have joined some church or any other religious organization, or even been baptized. The question that must be answered by you is, have you truly trusted Jesus Christ as your very own personal Saviour and received Him into your heart and life as your Lord? If you cannot remember a time in your life when you personally received Him, and if you believe that He died for you, now is the time for you to do so, before it is eternally too late. Go to God immediately in prayer and tell Him that you realize that you are a lost sinner, but that you believe the Gospel of Christ that was just presented to you and you want to be saved. Ask Him to forgive you of your every sin and to come into your heart. His Word, which cannot lie says that He will indeed save you and you will be forever saved. God bless you.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with one small step.
And if you have taken this step of faith, it would be a real encouragement to my own heart if you would write to me and tell me about it.
