Do you know God? I don't mean that you know of God or that you know He exist. You may have gone to church since you were a child or been raised in Christian family. Maybe you were sprinkled at birth or dedicated when you were a baby. Having said all of this, do you really know God in a personal way? Have you ever acknowledged to God that you are a sinner and you are in need of a Savior? God wants us to love Him as He loves us. He wants that personal relationship with you and wants you to become part of His family.
For you to have that relationship with God, you must have your sins washed away by the blood of Jesus. You must ask Jesus to forgive you of your sins and be your Lord and Savior. Maybe you feel you have committed such horrible sins that you don't think God will forgive you. Jesus tells us that all who come to Him, none will be cast away. The Bible says that Jesus died for the sins of the world and that means yours and mine. God will forgive you if you are sincere when you ask Him. You may still have to pay consequences for your sins here on earth, but you have the confidence that God has forgiven you completely.
Psalms;103:12 (As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us.)
If you're walking around with the burden of sin weighing heavy on you, come to Jesus for forgiveness. When Jesus comes into your life, you become a new creation in Jesus. Your old man is done away with and you have a new nature. Yes, you still have a sin nature, but now you have the Holy Spirit dwelling in you to give you the power over sin. You are no longer a slave to sin, you can say NO! Jesus loves you and wants to save you but you must come to Him. He won't force you to come, it must be you acting upon the calling from the Holy Spirit. Don't say no to God anymore, come to Jesus today.
God Bless You!

Why Are American School Children falling Behind World?
I heard in the news this morning that American school children are falling behind all of the civilized worlds school children. They gave their solution blaming it on everything except the fact that America has allowed a few psychologist to tell them how they should raise their children. I have a different solution to the problem that is drastically different from theirs. We should follow Gods commands on raising them seeing as how He is the creator of all human life. Who would know better on how we should raise our children that God?
Proverbs;22:15 (Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; The rod of correction will drive it far from him.)
Moral corruption of the family unit is a major problem. Satan has beat down the institution of marriage that God instituted at the beginning. How corrupt is it? We have legalized abortion which is killing a human life. We have legalized same sex marriage which is absolutely against Gods laws. We have made sexual intercourse as though everyone married or not should be doing it. . We have put it into a woman's minds that they are not complete unless they have some high paying job outside the home. Now we have children who are basically raising themselves. Children are not learning from their parents but instead are learning from society which says "if it feels good do it."
We took discipline away from the parents, the schools and the legal system. Now we wonder why we are having unruly, ruthless children. Parents have quit going to church and their children are not learning about God and His laws for living. A very small percentage of American families go to church on a regular basis. Our children are not learning how to live a productive life that pleasing to God..
Proverbs;22:6 (Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.)
So what or who is the answer? God is the answer! Our society is a mess because of our neglect to obey God and His ordinances. God told Israel that if they would just obey Him, things would go better for them. They refused to obey as we have and we are suffering the consequences of being disobedient. Our children are suffering because of OUR disobedience to God. We need to repent and ask for forgiveness and return to God. It's that simple and each one of us must do their part or we are doomed to destruction as a family and a country.
God Bless You!

Are You Forgiving Others?
Matthew; 6:14
("For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.)
Not always easy, is it? Everyone of us has had someone say or do something that has hurt us or angered us. Our first response is usually in the flesh and we want revenge. But God says we need to forgive others and allow Him to deal with them. At times I think I have forgiven someone when in fact I'm still holding a grudge. It usually doesn't take long and I'll say something and I'll suddenly realize I haven't really forgiven that person. We always need to turn it over to God and ask Him to help us forgive people who hurt us. If we just allow God to work in our lives, He'll change us to become more like His Son, Jesus Christ, who forgave all of our sins. We are to confess our sins daily in order to obtain a day to day cleansing. If we say we don't sin, we are just fooling ourselves.
1John; 1:8
(If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.)
God Bless You!
