Decisions

DO YOU KNOW FOR SURE HEAVEN WILL BE YOUR HOME??

We “preach” at our kids all day long about making the right choices and decisions for themselves, but are we sure we have told them about the most important decision they could ever make?  Have we told them they can know for sure that they can go to heaven someday when they die?  Some of you may not know that yourselves, I realize that.  BUT YOU CAN KNOW…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 or anyone you know isn’t sure they would go to heaven when they die, please read/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!!

DO 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…

A little “Thank You” goes a long way…

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

Someone asked me whether or not you have to buy your wedding party gifts.  Like if you are short on money and can’t really afford it.  I think it’s always a good idea to get your wedding party something.  It doesn’t have to be really extravagant or expensive, but a small token of thanks is always appropriate.  They can be personal gifts for each person or they can be a general gift that would be appropriate for all of them.

For instance, some groomsmen gifts might include, money clips, flasks, tie tacks, or multi-tools.  Some bridesmaid gifts might include charm bracelets, a manicure set, a monogrammed tote, or matching jewelry (for the wedding) that they can keep after the wedding.  Buster and I bought matching jewelry for the girls and tie-tacks for the guys.  We didn’t have tons of money (still don’t) so we didn’t go real expensive, but it’s the sentiment that matters, not the cost!!

“Witness Wednesday”

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

I 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.

Oh My Goodness!!!

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

So, I thought I was never gonna be able to blog again!!!   Though most wouldn’t even notice, that would be very sad for me, because I love blogging!!  I deleted code I needed while editing my theme, I guess, I’m still not sure what actually happened.  Anyway, I am back up and running.

Here is what has happened since I last talked to you…

My sweet Jasmine went to live with a new family.  We miss her tons, but this was the best thing for her and us.  I think the hardest thing is when we come home and she isn’t  here to greet us with all her excitement that we are home, it’s just the empty house.

Buster had hernia surgery yesterday, for the second time.  Last time he threw up for three days after the surgery, which tore the stitches that repaired the hernia, so he got another one.  So, when they fixed this one, they gave him meds that would help with nausea and they put a mesh screen in that would prevent it from happening again.   He is very sore and tired, but he has no thrown up at all!! Praise the Lord for answered prayers!!

So that is what has been going on here…Don’t forget to enter my Giveaway !!

Vacation…

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Before Buster and I decided to do God’s will for us and move out to Fort Faith Camp, we had never taken a real vacation, nope, not one, in 15+ years.  Since we decided to follow our hearts and do what we feel is God’s plan for us, we have been on 2 vacations, yes, I said 2!! Nothing like Outer Banks beach rentals, but vacations, nonetheless.  One was a camping trip, SO MUCH FUN!!! and the other was a trip to Great Wolf Lodge.  Both were with the other full-time couple here at camp and their family.  What a gift to be able to have fun serving the Lord together and then have “no-work” fun time together too!! Thanks Jim and Marie, we love you!!

Gifting Idea…

Monday, February 1st, 2010

I have a friend who likes “unique” things.  I am always at a loss as to what to get her for her birthday, Christmas, etc.  I find I am always struggling when it come to finding gifts for her.  Only because the more “unique” or unusual gifts are often more expensive, although that isn’t always the case.  You just have to know where to go to find them!!

Blessings….

The Ultimate Gift…

Friday, January 29th, 2010

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 you 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!!

God Bless!!

If you don’t need this message, but know someone who does, feel free to link them to this or just tell them about the blog post!! It is important that every person get this taken care BEFORE it is too late. We often think we have all the time in the world, what’s the rush?? My son was killed in an auto-accident five years ago (November 5, 2004) at the age of 10! We have no guarantee of how long we have on this earth, we need to spread the word!!  Thankfully, Eli saw his need for salvation and accepted Christ as his Savior at the age of 7, just three short years before he died.

Thanks for stopping by, see you soon!!

Be Blessed…
