Map to Heaven

Who is good? Romans 3:10-12: "As it is written: “ There is none righteous, no, not one; There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God. They have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable;There is none who does good, no, not one."

Who has sinned? Romans 3:23: "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God..."

The eternal cost of your sin. Romans 6:23: "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Romans 1:18: "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness."

Nothing you do can save you. Romans 3:20: "Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin."
Romans 3:27: "Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith."

God's love has made the way! Romans 5:8-9: "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him."

You must place your "complete" faith in Jesus Christ. Romans 3:22: "Even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all[a] who believe. For there is no difference..."
Romans 10:9: "That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."
Romans 3:28: "Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law."

If you really believe that Jesus Christ alone can save you... Romans 4:21: "And being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform."

...Then pray and ask Him...Romans 10:13: For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.”
Romans 10:11: For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”

MAKE YOUR CHOICE TODAY! JESUS WANTS YOU, HE LOVES YOU, NOTHING YOU HAVE DONE, ARE DOING, OR WILL DO IS TOO BIG OR TOO BAD THAT HE CAN'T FORGIVE YOU AND SAVE YOU! Romans 8:37-39: "Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Jesus Heals

A leper sat beside a cave
In upper Galilee;
His form was wasted and his grief
Was pitiful to see.
No future stretched inviting arms,
His hopes were for release
For quiet in the mossy tomb
And rest of dreamless peace.
Of late, uneasy were his thoughts,
Hope reared it's weary head;
One who could heal the leprosy
Lived South, so rumor said.
Some told of demons exorcised,
Some said He raised the dead,
And changed some water into wine,
And multiplied the bread.
"Soon I'll rise and go to Him
And see what can be seen.
Perhaps He'll see my hopeless state
Perhaps He'll make me clean."
With languor he began to plan
To put away his sorrow;
He'd say, as every morning dawned,
"I'm tired, I'll go tomorrow."
But as the days and weeks and months passed by,
His eyes were growing dim;
He knew that he must haste to Christ
Or death would haste to him.
His journey was a painful one,
And, as it's end drew nigh,
He saw three crosses etched in black
Against a darkening sky.

A very important key

God is the key that opens the door to all that is good in life.

Question of the day!

If you were accused of being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to prove it?

Words to Live By from My Childhood

When I was growing up, I was part of a wonderful group called Pathfinders! I remember when we opened our meetings each Wednesday night, we would repeat the Pathfinder Pledge and Law. These words still offer such meaningful guidelines for our lives today, that I just had to share them here.

By the grace of God, I will be pure, and kind, and true. I will keep the Pathfinder Law. I will be a servant of God and a friend to man.

The Pathfinder Law is for me to:
Keep the morning watch
Do my honest part
Care for my body,
Keep a level eye
Be courteous and obedient
Walk softly in the sanctuary,
Keep a song in my heart,
Go on God's errand.

The Pathfinder Pledge:

By the grace of God
I will be pure
I will be kind
I will be true.
I will keep the Pathfinder Law.
I will be a servant to God
I will be a friend to man.
