“The Majesty of Our God”


Can anyone truly look at a sunset
And say that there is no God.
Or gaze inti the heavens on a starry
Night and not know that we have been blessed
By the presence of an Almighty Creator.
And then there are those billowing cloud
Formations we lay staring at as a child.
Could this be an act of chance?
Or listen to the melodious tune of a babbling
Brook as it sings on its merry journey.
God’s handiwork is all around us and His
Signature is on each of His masterpieces.
And the greatest masterpieces He ever
created was YOU and ME!
Because He created us in His Image.
To say that we have tarnished that
Image is certainly an understatement.
But just like all His other Masterpieces
We are not complete until He signs His work.
God puts His signature on YOU and ME
The day that WE receive Jesus Christ as
Our personal Savior and Lord.

THE SERENITY PRAYER

God, give us grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot changed,
courage to change the things
which should be changed,
and wisdom to distinguish
the one from the other.
Living one day at a time,
enjoying one moment at a time,
accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,
taking, as Jesus did,
this sinful world as it is,
not as I would have it,
trusting that you will make all things right,
if I surrender to your will,
so that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
and supremely happy with you forever in the next.
Amen

Always Find The Time

I knelt to pray but not for long,
I had too much to do,
I had to hurry and get to work
For bills would soon be due,
So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
And jumped up off my knees.
My Christian duty was now done
My soul could rest at ease.
All day long I had no time
To spread a word of cheer.
No time to speak of CHRIST to friends,
They’d laugh at me I’d fear.
No time, no time, too much to do,
That was my constant cry,
No time to give to souls in need
But at last the time, the time to die.
I went before the LORD,
I came, I stood with downcast eyes.
For in his hands GOD held a book;
It was the book of life,
GOD looked into his book and said
“YOUR NAME I CANNOT FIND.”
“I once was going to write it down …..
But never found the time”

4 STEPS TO GOD


Four Steps To God

1. God Loves You!
The Bible says, "God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life"
The problem is that
2. All of us have done, said or thought things that are wrong. This is called sin, and our sins have separated us from God.The Bible says “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” God is perfect and holy, and our sins separate us from God forever. The Bible says “The wages of sin is death.”
The good news is that, about 2,000 years ago,
3. God sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins.Jesus is the Son of God. He lived a sinless life and then died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. “God demonstrates His own love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.”Jesus rose from the dead and now He lives in heaven with God His Father. He offers us the gift of eternal life -- of living forever with Him in heaven if we accept Him as our Lord and Savior. Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except by Me."God reaches out in love to you and wants you to be His child. "As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe on His name." You can choose to ask Jesus Christ to forgive your sins and come in to your life as your Lord and Savior.
4. If you want to accept Christ as Savior and turn from your sins, you can ask Him to be your Savior and Lord by praying a prayer like this:"Lord Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. Please forgive my sins and give me the gift of eternal life. I ask you in to my life and heart to be my Lord and Savior. I want to serve you always." Did you pray this prayer?
