If Your New Here…
Posted on November 07, 2011If you are new here and you are wondering what that Romans Road Page is all about up there…
^^^^^^^^ yeah, that one up there ^^^^^^
It’s all about “The Plan Of Salvation”. What? You don’t know that is? Well, I will tell you!
We all are born and we all die right? Easy question….
Most of us wonder what is going to happen to us when we die, right? Another easy question…
Well, the answer to that question is this, we either go to heaven or hell…those are the options, according to the bible.
Heaven = pleasant, happy, fun, blessings, family, food, sunshine, Jesus, God
Hell= unpleasant, sad, no blessings, loneliness, deprivation, satan, evil
Both are for ETERNITY one you are there folks, there are no second chances, once you die, the choice has been made, there is no going back…
This is the thing. You must know Jesus Christ as your personal Savior in order to go to heaven! Plain and simple.
You have to realize you are a sinner (we all are Romans 3:10)…
You have to realize that there is a penalty for that sin (sin always has consequences Romans 6:23)…
You have to accept that Jesus paid that penalty for you (when He died on the cross Romans 5:8-9)…
You have to realize that He is your only way to heaven (you can’t do anything to get yourself there Romans 10:13, Romans 10:9-11 )…
It’s as simple as that.
Most people say a simple prayer, something like: “Dear Jesus, I know I am a sinner. Please forgive of my sins and save me from hell. Take me to heaven some day when I die. Thank You Jesus for what you have done for me. Amen.” Or something along those lines.
The important thing isn’t “what” you say, it’s that you mean it and believe it in your heart, because “saying” a prayer isn’t going to get you to heaven!! You must believe!!!
That, my friends is “The Plan Of Salvation”
Has there been a time in your life that you accepted Christ as your personal Savior? I would urge you not to wait! We aren’t guaranteed another day friends.
Hugs and Prayers
This Post Is A Must Read…
Posted on October 01, 2011If you only read one post I ever post, please let it be this one. I beg of you. This might just be the single most important post I will ever post. Okay, maybe the second most important. Because the posts I post about salvation are probably the most important…
But this one is very important!
I want you to realize that we are in a fight! A fight against the devil and evil! Yes, the devil! He is waging a war against us and if we are not careful and vigilant, he is going to win!
You think I’ve lost my mind don’t you? Look around you, friends…
Look at all the pastor’s wives fighting cancer or some other life-threatening or life-altering illness right now, do you think that is a coincidence?
Look at all the “men of God” being accused of “sexual deviance”, do you think that is coincidence?
Look at all the marriages in ruins, do you think that is coincidence?
We are in the fight of our lives, people, do we not realize this? The devil is after us and our families and I don’t think we even realize it!
Hold your dear ones close friends. Yes, even when they hurt you. Even when you think they have done the unforgivable. Jesus forgave you!
Husbands, pray for your wives.
Wives, pray for your husbands.
Church members, pray for your pastors.
Pastors, pray for your church members.
Parents, pray for your children.
Children, pray for your parents.
EVERYONE, pray for EVERYONE!!!
Narrow Is the Path…
Posted on May 22, 2011THE ROMANS ROAD
If you could have God’s promise that YOU would go right to HEAVEN when you die, would you take it??
Let me show YOU how YOU can have This Promise!!
ALL HAVE SINNED
ROMANS 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no not one.
ROMANS 3:23 For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God.
GOD’S PRICE ON SIN
ROMANS 6:23 A For the wages of sin is death.
THERE ARE TWO DEATHS
REVELATION 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
OUR WAY OUT
ROMANS 5:8-9 But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
GOD’S PERSONAL PROMISE
ROMANS 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Take God at his word and claim His promise for your salvation. Bow your head right now and sincerely ask Jesus Christ to forgive your sins and to save your soul.
Saying a prayer does not save you!! You must believe what the Bible says and mean it in your heart to be saved!!!
ROMANS 10:9-11 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. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture sayeth, Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed.
Once you are eternally saved, you are always eternally saved…
HEBREWS 13:5B…for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
If you have read this and accepted Christ as your personal Savior, CONGRATULATIONS on getting that taken care of, you’ll be so glad you did!! Please leave your name in a comment so that I can pray for you !!! And also find yourself a good, Bible (King James) preaching Church where you can grow in your faith!!
Judgement Is Coming…
Posted on May 03, 2011I am not a “doomsday” sort of person at all, but people, judgement is coming!!
Reading Genesis 6 today, I read about how God brought judgement on the whole earth, save one man and his family.
The world had become so wicked that God was saddened and sorry that He had ever created man. So, He eventually flooded the earth, effectively killing every person on the planet, except Noah, his wife, his three sons and their wives.
I don’t think we know exactly how many people there actually were then, but God saw fit to save only 8 people of all that were there.
Makes me wonder how bad things will have to get before God will have to step in and do it again. I can’t imagine that He will allow it to get much worse. It seems that the world is getting worse by the day as far as wickedness and just plain evil.
Just some thoughts I had while having coffee and Bible this morning…
Genesis 4
Posted on April 29, 2011Genesis 4:1 “….I have gotten a man from the Lord.” What a thought.
Do we realize that our children truly are a gift from God?? I don’t think we appreciate that fact enough!!
Through all the pains of labor, the early morning feedings, the “terrible twos”, those trying times of preadolescence , all the way through those awkward teenage years. We should keep in mind that our children are in fact A GIFT from God!!
I think I will remind myself of that the next time I want to throttle “the girl” for being sassy or not cleaning her room!! Because she truly is a gift from God, truly!!
Please remember to be thankful for every second you have with your children. I have always been thankful for the time I have had with mine. My son was taken to heaven at the age of 10, and though I have never been a perfect parent (never will be), I have never had to think to myself , “I wish I would have said I love you more”, or “I hope he knew I loved him”. Praise the Lord for that!!
Today, take a moment to let your children know that you love them and what a blessing they really are, even when they are driving you to drink and/or go bald or gray or both!!! 
Genesis 3:16
Posted on April 27, 2011
The B-I-B-L-E, yes that’s the Book for me!!
Posted on April 25, 2011so, i was convicted yesterday that i really need to read my Bible more. i am ashamed to say that there have been days when i haven’t read it at all…
there have been days i have prayed and done good and went to church when i was supposed to, but didn’t read my Bible. that, of course, doesn’t mean i am going to hell or anything, but it’s not good!!
the Christian life is all about good balance. and if i’m not reading my Bible i cannot have good balance!! with all the junk on tv, on the radio, in the newspaper, and just in life in general, i really need to be in the Word!!!
in my quest to start daily Bible reading, i am starting out slow, always a good idea, as to not get overwhelmed and quit, which is quite common for me, i must admit. that is one of my many faults, but God is still working on me!!!
so, i have decided to read the books of the Bible in chronological order (the order in which they were written) and i will read at least one chapter a day. some days i will probably read more, but like i said, if i start out slow and don’t try to race through it and set too high of expectations, i will be more likely to stick with it and i will also get more out of it!!
i was going to read them in alphabetical order so i read acts 1 today, tomorrow will be genesis 1!!!
There really is a “Hell” and it’s HOT!!
Posted on April 18, 2011Why is it so hard for people to believe that a loving God would allow people to go to hell??
Think about it…God sent His PERFECT son, whom he loved more than anything, to suffer and die a cruel death, so that we could have a home in heaven.
Why is it so hard to believe that he would allow people who are NOT PERFECT to go to hell for denying Him and not accepting the PERFECT Son He sent here to die for them??
My pastor made mention of this while preaching yesterday and it makes a lot of sense when you think about it!!!
IFB is not a bad thing!
Posted on April 09, 2011I watched a 20/20 special last night on TV and I have to say, I was a little, OK, a lot, disturbed by what I saw/heard.
It was about “IFB (Independent Fundamental Baptist) Cult Survivors”. And it was all about people (mostly girls, from what I saw) that have suffered sexual/physical/spiritual abuse at the hands of either parents who are IFB or IFB Pastors/Deacons/members.
As I sat there and listened to these women talk about their abuse, I wondered each time, what does this have to do with Independent Fundamental Baptist Churches?? I mean, as a whole.
How many IFB Churches are there in this country and how many have had things like this happen in them? Now take the number of Methodist “Churches” out there. How many of those have had things like this happen in them? Catholic “Churches”? Lutheran “Churches”? Bible “Churches”? I could go on and on…I doubt that IFB Churches corner the market on sexual predators, or physically abusive parents for that matter!!
I have a hard time with people who want to lump all of one type of anything together, let alone INDEPENDENT Churches. Independent Fundamental Churches are just what they say they are.
**Independent, meaning they are self governing, not associated or linked with any other, not part of any “conference” and not accountable to anyone but GOD. This gives them the freedom to preach and teach whatever the Pastor gets from God. They are funded by what their people give.
**Fundamental, a my understanding is, simply means they preach and teach principles and doctrine of the Word of God from THE WORD OF GOD. They believe that the King James Bible is THE preserved Word of God, written by man, but God inspired.
**Baptist, now that’s a little harder to put into words. I believe this pertains to specific doctrinal beliefs that set the IFB’s apart from other “denomonations”. Baptism being one, if not the most important, but also including dress, dating, separation and other standards.
I heard someone say on this 20/20 program that IFB’s think their standards make them superior to others. I cannot speak for anyone but myself, but I do not think myself superior to ANYONE. I do have standards, probably higher than some, but most definitely lower than most (IFB’s). I am an Independent Fundamental Baptist, but I am not better than anyone else. I struggle with sin everyday, just like everyone else. I am a sinner saved by grace.
Then there was the whole women shouldn’t be have to be subordinate and spanking=beating and all that…I believe this is the reason the world is the way it is today…people have gotten so far from God’s orginal plan that no one knows whats right anymore, or we just don’t care…
Home, Eternally Speaking…
Posted on June 03, 2010DO YOU KNOW FOR SURE HEAVEN WILL BE YOUR HOME??
Did you know you COULD know for sure…many don’t!! There are just a few things you need to do in order to know that!! The actual work has already been done, but you must accept what has been done!! Let me show you…
- First, you must realize that God loves you. ~ John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave His only begotten Son, that whosever believeth in Him should not perish , but have everlasting life.” Whosoever means anyone and everyone who believes!!
- Secondly, you must realize that everyone is a sinner. ~ Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” All means every single person!!
- Thirdly, you must realize that sin has a price that must be paid. ~ Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord.” When you have a job, you earn a wage (money)…when you sin you earn a wage (death or separation from God in hell) .
- Fourthly, you must realize that Jesus Christ died and rose from the dead to pay your sin debt for you. ~ Romans 5:8 “But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
- Finally, you must pray, ask Jesus Christ to be your Saviour, and claim His promise of eternal life. ~ Romans 10:9, 13 “Thas if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him form the dead, thou shalt be saved…For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
If you have already accepted Christ as your Saviour, Congratulations!! IF you are saved and on your way to heaven and you haven’t yet gotten into good, Bible believing, Bible preaching Church, I would do so as soon as you can and find out how you can serve those in your community.
If you have just asked Jesus Christ as you Saviour as a result of reading this , please leave me a comment so I can pray for you. You should get into a good, Bible believing, Bible preaching Church just as soon as you can and find out how you can serve those in your community. I would also suggest you talk to someone about scriptural Baptism. If you have questions about that, I can help you, just let me know!!
If you know anyone who isn’t sure they would go to heaven when they die, please share this important information with them. I know it can be a daunting task, but isn’t it worth it to be secure in where you/they will spend eternity? Because, hey , we WILL ALL have to spend eternity SOMEWHERE!! I prefer HEAVEN!!
“Witness Wednesday”
Posted on April 21, 2010I have been “witnessing” the same way every time since I started on my blog. Today I thought I would do something a little different. When I was 11 years old, we had an evangelist come to our Church and show us movies about the end times. You know, after Jesus comes back (which HE WILL) what happens to all those left behind. As soon as I saw it, I knew I needed to have Jesus Christ as my Savior!! I wanted nothing to do with what happens after He comes back!!
How you come to Christ isn’t really as important as making sure YOU DO!!! Here are the things you need to realize in order to do just that…I could quote a bunch of scriptures from the Bible to cement the points I am making, but I’m not going to. I’m going to be short and to the point.
1. We are all sinners. Every one of us!!
2. We all deserve hell. Every one of us!!
3. God, the One who made us , loved us so much that He sent His Son to pay that hell debt for us when He died on the cross some 2,000 + years ago, because He was the only one who could!!
4. We have to accept that He is the one and only way to get to heaven. We have to believe in our hearts that only taking Jesus as our Savior can get us to heaven.
Folks, it’s just that easy!! A God who loves us as much as ours wouldn’t make something so important difficult for us to do!!! Church can’t get ya there, baptism can’t get ya there, your good works can’t get ya there, ONLY JESUS can get you to heaven!! IF you believe everything I just told you, please take a moment to repeat this sinners prayer, asking Jesus to take you to heaven some day when you die.
Dear Jesus,
I am a sinner deserving hell. I know you died on the cross, paying my hell debt for me. Please take me to heaven some day when I die. I believe you are my one and only way to get there. Thank you saving me from hell…. Amen
Now, let me clarify, saying this prayer does not get you to heaven, believing it in your heart is what gets you to heaven!! If you have already accepted Christ as your Savior, congratulations!! If you have not or know someone who has not, please take a moment to read this or read it to that someone.
