A real Independence Day

Since this is Independence  Weekend coming up, I want to share some thoughts with you.

We used to live in a free country. Now by that I mean, today I have to watch everything I say to make sure that I don't OFFEND anyone. If I want to talk about God, or Jesus, or the Holy Ghost, I'm expected to be careful in selecting my words so make everyone happy. How DARE I take a stand on anything Biblical? How DARE I talk openly about the Lord?

Scripture says that the Word is an offense to people. Why? It is because of CONVICTION. Pure and simple. People , even those professing to be Christians, don't want to feel conviction. They don't want to know that they are living in sin. They like it there in the pits, struggling in the miry clay. They only want to hear that God is Love.

God IS Love! But God is also a JUDGE. HE will judge you for everything you have ever done in your life. If you are born again and live a Godly life, and all your sins are covered by the BLOOD of Jesus, your actions for His Glory will be judged.

One day, the Scriptures say, every knee shall bow and every tongue confess, that Jesus Christ is Lord. Those whose names are written down in the Lamb's Book of Life will kneel and confess their love for Him. Those whose names are NOT found in the Lamb's Book of Life will also kneel. They will be BEGGING God to forgive them, yet it will do them no good. God is a just God.

Where will you spend eternity? Is being Politically Correct worth your soul? Is trying to keep a friend really worth your soul? Hell is a place to shun. There will not be a big party there. Far from it. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth......Fire and heat, and you will never burn up...just exist.....nothing will stop it. It will go on and on and on and on and on.......

If you have just stumbled upon this, Praise the Lord. If you don't know Him as your personal Savior, you can say this little prayer, meaning it with your whole heart.

Lord Jesus, I am a sinner. I am so sorry for the things I have done. Please forgive me of all my sins. Come into my life and cleanse me and make me whole. Give me a new life in You. thank You Lord for saving me. Help me to walk in Your paths. Amen.

Now if you have prayed that prayer and meant it. You are a born again Christian. Find a church near your home and go to the first service that the doors are open.  You are to CONFESS with your mouth..meaning, you are to tell your friends and family what the Lord has just done for you.
