A new home is a wonderful thing. It gives you a new start and time to rethink how you need to live.
MARK 5:19 Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee. Is a Christian life the life you want? It is the most pleasant life you will have. With faithfulness you will find peace. LUKE 6:44 For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. If you're not saved today ask Christ in your own way; you can use this as a guide. "Dear heavenly Father I am sorry your Son took the punishment that I deserve? I ask you Christ that you please forgive me of all my sins? I thank you Lord for your wonderful grace and forgiveness. Tell a pastor at a Christian Church that you have asked Christ for salvation and go to Sunday school you'll find fellowship to be a great help as you grow as a Christian. |

The Coming Of the Lord

If we don't show people salvation is worth having this very moment, how are we going to convince people of what all of us need? Keep in your hart that He is coming back sooner rather than later.
LUKE 12:40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not. People should attend and not become lackadaisical. Living outside of church is not the way you learn what God has for you or to reach others for our Lord. Let people see that you care more for God than yourself. JOHN 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. Ask Christ in your own way If you're not saved today; you can use this as a guide. "Dear heavenly Father I am sorry Christ took the punishment that I deserve, so that through faith in Him I could be forgiven." "I ask you Christ that you please forgive me of all my sins. I thank you Lord for your wonderful grace and forgiveness.” Tell a pastor at a Christian Church that you have asked Christ for Salvation and go to Sunday school you'll find fellowship to be a great help as you grow as a Christian. |

A Little Angry

We need to guard ourselves were not perfect. Let the love we have for Christ give a door you can use to talk to those that might not have asked Christ. Until you have talked to someone you wont know what it will feel like.
ROMANS 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. If we don't take up our cross; this next generation will believe in the Lie's that's told them. From there distorted history books all the way to our TV channels. The most notable people might not have salvation. Even some going to church are looking and might not have it. Keep in mind a pastor is lead with love and not anger, we are lead to be the same way. EPHESIANS 4:31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: If you're not saved today you can use this as a guide.

When You Are Young

When you're a young Christian you definitely need to give Gods word to others. It sounds scary getting out with Gods word but Christ will be with you all the way. If your not saved; Just ask Christ He will save you.
JOHN 21:17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. Christ is telling Peter to go out and gather the lost to Him. Get up and get out of your house and spread the knowledge of the salvation of Christ. Because eventually when we get older there is only so many places you can go and we will have to depend on others. JOHN 21:18 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not. Can you tell of Christ when people have to take care of you? of course you can but it will be limited to where someone can take you. ROMANS 12:9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. Only faith "full belief" in Jesus Christ can provide salvation. Ask in your own way this is just a guide. "Dear heavily Father I am sorry Christ took the punishment that I deserve, so that through full belief in Him I could be forgiven." "I ask you Christ that you please forgive me of all my sins. I thank you Lord for your wonderful grace and forgiveness.” After your done tell a pastor at a Christian Church that you have asked Christ for Salvation and go to Sunday school you'll find fellowship to be a great help as you grow as a Christian. |

God loves you and knows what you can handle. The one thing the Lord did for me after what i went through is keep depression away and I never had to deal with it. You are never alone your heavenly father will always be there.
Be kind and show your love to others it will teach your kids to do the same. When they leave home on their own it's not that easy on you; but If the way you have raised your kids is based on love every decision they make will be based on the same thing. JOSHUA 23:11 Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love the LORD your God. Men you are the head of the house but that doesn't mean the only thing it involves is you getting the last word. The main thing you need to do is show your Wife that you love and respect her and show your kids the same. Go out and play with your children from time to time the younger the better they will love that. Show your sons how to love and take care of a family. Love is contagious it is the first thing you need to teach and from there everything else is based. MATTHEW 19:19 Honour thy father and [thy] mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Ask Christ for salvation in your own way If you're not saved today; you can use this as a guide. "Dear heavily Father I am sorry Christ took the punishment that I deserve." "I ask you Christ that you please forgive me of all my sins?

You are not going out and bringing the lost to our Lord by going to services if you have the time. God wants you to enjoy your life He is your heavenly father and loves His children and knows the way they will have a great life.
DEUTERONOMY 7:9 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations; We have Christians dying just for being Christian. His Son came here died conquering hell and came back for His children and all we have to do is tell people what He has done and strengthen each other. If you want the message of God to get out there you need to get out of your comfort zone and do more than just go to church. Isaiah 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. The worship of Christ will come back to the United States if it was ever gone it's just a matter of how. We have become terribly unaware not even loving life enough to introduce Christ to our family. We need to show love and strength to the world and not hate and complacency. JOHN 14:31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence. Go with the word of salvation that Christ is offering and go to church every time the doors are open. If you don't have the security Christ gives; you can have salvation also. All you have to do is believe that Christ came here and died conquering hell and the grave for you and ask Him for forgiveness. Life everlasting is there for you to choose no matter were you are in life. You never can tell when your going to see your last day; you need to be prepared. Go tell a Christian church you have asked Christ for salvation and go to Sunday school you'll find fellowship and the study of the bible to be a great help as you grow as a Christian.

Politics

Given there are different political ideologies and I’m not saying don’t stand up for the politician you like. The main thing you need to do is gain the salvation of Christ. I’ve known politics getting in the way of some people "me Included"
I can understand it’s a very important subject and sometimes a different point of view can be held on things but the subject is not as important as Christ. ROMANS 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. All you need to do is look how Christians are being treated around the world and you will see the hate directed at them. Loving as a Christian is no reason for mistreatment. Be kind to people that hold a different political view. Evil is the main negative of good make sure your on the right side. You need to put reaching lost souls in your heart as a service to Christ . ACTS 20:35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. A Church can be made up of many different political beliefs and still serve Christ by putting Him first in all their ways. We need to show compassion with each other no matter what our view; there is not a single person that is just alike. 1TIMOTHY 2:1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. If your already saved or just asked for salvation find a Cristian church and go to Sunday school you'll find fellowship and the study of the bible to be a great help as you grow as a Christian. You can have this security also, all you have to do is believe that Christ came here and died conquering hell and the grave for you and ask Him for forgiveness. Life everlasting is there for you to choose. |

Don't Worry

Once you have asked Christ for salvation you have no reason to worry about anything. You will still have problems but you can ask Christ to take the worry away and help you with what is troubling you. You will feel better no mater what you are going through.
PHILIPPIANS 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. After you give it to Christ He will be with you all the way. That Doesn't mean you can just do what ever you want without Considering Christ. Do what Christ would have you do and do it with prayer. Living without worry is a blessing. PHILIPPIANS 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Here is a sample prayer if you're not saved today ask God for salvation in Jesus Christ's Name. Saying this prayer is a way to declare to God that you are relying on Christ for your salvation. The words themselves will not save you. Only faith "full belief" in Jesus Christ can provide salvation. “Dear Heavenly father I know that I have sinned against you and am deserving of punishment. But Christ took the punishment that I deserve, so that through faith in Him I could be forgiven?" "Jesus Christ, with your help I place my trust in you for salvation, and I ask that you will forgive me of my sins. I thank you Lord for your wonderful grace and forgiveness.” Go tell a Christian church you have asked Christ for salvation and go to Sunday school you'll find fellowship and the study of the bible to be a great help as you grow as a Christian.

Two Main Groups

There are two main groups a Christian discussion is about, the lost and the saved. The saved that just go to church need to know how easy it is to start serving the Lord. Always pray before you do anything for our Lord.
I've learned that when you post something in a forum it doesn't need to be very long or people will stop reading and do one of many things. You need to make it short and to the point which is not very easy for me. You will never cover everything in a post so don't try. DEUTERONOMY 4:13 And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone. For those that are not saved Christ loves you and is your way to salvation. I believe you can have salvation and never go to church but what a waist that would be. Christ asks you to go to church you will get the message of salvation and learn what God has for you. MARK 10:21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me. It's not about what you have; God allows you what you can handle in life. You will have a great life serving Christ many people worry to much. Only faith "full belief" in Christ can provide salvation. Ask Christ for salvation and go to Sunday school and services they are important to you. much more important than you know. |

Thinking Back
|

When i was younger I would take food from my parents refrigerator and give it away to strangers. I have always been that way. I was also sick from asthma most of the time and almost died more than once. When i was reaching seventeen i was tall and healthy and could walk for miles I remember feeling invincible.
For most of my life the main thing my dad did was drive a truck and i didn't see him much. All he was thinking about was taking care of his family. There also was a lessen in what mom was able to do. She let us go out and play where we learned to take care of ourselves. My parents sent us to church i wish they was able to go also. I swore to myself that i was going to do the best i could at whatever God wants me to do. I was blessed with a beautiful little girl and she will always be my baby. Just think how nice a life you can have for your kids if both mom and dad go to church with them. I will always remember a women named "Clausen". When i was eleven she used to take me and my sister to church. What a great thing she did to introduce me to Christ. God wants us to go to church and learn from Him. Anything else that you have learned that does not have a good stand on Gods word did not come from God. The best part of my childhood that i can remember was when me and my sister stayed outside till meal and bed time. My parents let me get away with a lot but punished me when i needed it and i needed it a few times. My daughter grew up in a different world I wish i could have let her go out to play. It was to dangerous i would have worried to much. After i turned twenty my cousin noticed i was having seizures so he told my mom and dad and they took me to the hospital. After taking a few different test the doctor came in and told me the bad news. I had an AVM and it was to big to operate on. He said that he would send the files to neurosurgeons and see if he could find one that was willing to work on it. Until then I had half a year and drinking and doing drugs had to stop. I moved away from Memphis with my mom and dad to San Antone, Texas to die. They bought me a car to drive and i cruised San Antone waiting. I didn't die and we all went up to Union, Missouri next to my Uncle Bob and his family. At the time i still had my long hair and still looked like i did drugs. My Uncle Bob got me to go to church were he and his family went. It took me a while to figure out that i needed to take care of my self so i started going to collage and studying bio med "electrician in a hospital". Every time i got close to graduation they would pile it on for the finals and i would have seizures. I ended up going about five years to get an associates degree so I finally gave up. While going to Collage i met someone in a quick shop were i got lunch everyday. It took me a long time before i was brave enough to ask her to go out with me. After we went out for a while we got married. I need to learn the sign's women are sending i always try to help them. After i was married about ten years i got a divorce and got custody of my daughter. It took me about three years to get over my divorce and then it was very slow I didn't see it coming. It was hard but I thank the Lord for getting me through it. The one thing i have learned over these years is a man and wife have to go to Church if they want a good life together and for there kids to grow up and be responsible people. Dad will teach his son how to be a Godly man and his son wont have to teach himself. Mom will be able to teach her daughter how to be a Godly women. If all you can do for now is send your children to Sunday school send them. The parents need to think of there child and let God think of His children. Does going to church mean you will have a perfect life, No. It does mean you will learn from God how to live a life that will turn out allot better. Even after what i went through life was great. In 2000 i had a stroke and it paralyzed me all the way to speech. While still being grateful for every second i am alive i looked extremely healthy but couldn't do anything but think. I stayed in the hospital rehab in Texas for about three months. Then i was shipped home to Baptist rehab about eight months and then i was released to go to out patient rehab for three. I went from flat on my back all the way to walking and talking. I was very grateful to all the hospitals that God had take care of me. The time i was in rehab was also preparing me for the person God wanted me to be. I had nothing to do but think and God was putting it on me. 2CORINTHIANS 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. |

Service to our Lord

I was so deep in sin it would be better not mentioning were i was in life and discuss the salvation i have received. You will feel blessed to serve the Lord, I felt led to tell others about Christ as soon as i was saved and there are many ways to serve the Lord.
JEREMIAH 33:2 Thus saith the LORD the maker thereof, the LORD that formed it, to establish it; the LORD is his name; 3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. Christ can give salvation no matter were you are in life. Once you receive that life you will feel it. If you sat in darkness He can reach you. If you went to church all your life and find yourself lost He can reach you; no matter were you are. MATTHEW 4:16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up. If you're not saved today ask God for salvation in Jesus Christ's Name. Saying this prayer is a way to declare to God that you are relying on Christ for your salvation. The words themselves will not save you. Only faith "full belief" in Jesus Christ can provide salvation. “Dear Heavenly father I know that I have sinned against you and am deserving of punishment. But Christ took the punishment that I deserve, so that through faith in Him I could be forgiven?" "Jesus Christ, with your help I place my trust in you for salvation, and I ask that you will forgive me of my sins.

Talent

We all have different talent's for our Lord no matter what your weakness is in Christ, no matter who you are He can use you. The number one thing to do is pray to Christ, ask for guidance and go on visitation.
Christ will block your weaknesses and show the way to salvation that He gives. There are some that all you get to do is ask to come visit your church and times they will slam the door in your face. Most will be polite and give you some time. You need to keep in mind that they have choice. Once you have given the message of Christ let God take it from there. Most likely you will never here from that person again. Were you thinking like the Pharisees? MATTHEW 9:10 And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples. 11 And when the Pharisees saw it , they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners? 12 But when Jesus heard that , he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. Which way do you reach people; By telling the saved there is a way to salvation? LUKE 6:32 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. 33 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same. 34 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. You can have this security also, all you have to do is believe that Christ came here and died conquering hell and the grave for you and ask Him for forgiveness. Life everlasting is there for you to choose. |

There are some that just go to church services. What that means is they do not go to Sunday school.
ACTS 2:47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved. You can go to church services and get some of Gods word. But getting together with your church family or another and studying Gods word will help you really learn the bible well and get a blessing out of it also. 1JOHN 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. If you're not saved today here is a sample prayer ask God for salvation in Jesus Christ's Name. Saying this prayer is a way to declare to God that you are relying on Christ for your salvation.

would you take it?
Jesus Christ is the only one that gives salvation. There are no prerequisites to receiving salvation. You'll never be good enough or have the perfect intentions or motives. ACTS 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Heaven is not a reward its a gift. For example you get a reward for doing something good. You get gift because a person loves you. JOHN 4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. You can have this security also, all you have to do is believe that Christ came here and died conquering hell and the grave for you and ask Him for forgiveness. Life everlasting is there for you to choose. JOHN 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. Only faith "full belief" in Jesus Christ can provide salvation. Ask Christ for salvation and go fellowship, Sunday school is a very good way to learn what God has for you. |

Sodom and Gomorrah

If you know Christ as your savior you need to spread the word of salvation to other people. Do you always have to spread the word through visitation. Its not the only way but visitation is the only way to get the word of salvation to people you wouldn't necessarily see. If you don't do anything nothing will be done; it's that simple.
MATTHEW 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. When you visit someones house are they always going to be nice to you. No not always, does that mean you need to keep Gods word to yourself. No Should we go unto the world like the Lord wants us to or should we let it get so bad that we will be like Sodom and Gomorrah. It will effect you before long not necessarily like Sodom and Gomorrah but it will effect the peace you have in life. He did not give us choice just so we would choose to do nothing. God does not want to punish you the only one that is going to punish you is yourself God gave us choice. The main choice is whether to follow Christ as a sacrifice for our sin or to not believe in Christ. You will end up destroying yourself if you don't depend on God. God will not step in if you haven't asked Him to. You have to choose to do the right thing yourself. GENESIS 18:20 And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; 21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know. Why would God create us my guess is God knew what it would be like to have kids and the joy they bring. When your raising your kids/kid as God does us you will also see what God sees and the responsibility it takes. Like our child we are never growing up their is always something in life we need guidance on. God sees far beyond what we are even able to understand so like your kids/kid you might never understand the reason for something in life you just have to obey. GENESIS 18:25 That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? 26 And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes. Why was the people of Sodom and Gomorrah like they was. The main reason was because they didn't study God's law. The less you study His word the farther you will get away from God. GENESIS 19:1 And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing [them] rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground; Here is a sample prayer if you're not saved today ask God for salvation in Jesus Christ's Name. Saying this prayer is a way to declare to God that you are relying on Christ for your salvation. The words themselves will not save you.

And the evening and the morning were the second day. To prepare the earth for all living things God gave us every kind fruit and vegetable that we needed to live off of. GENESIS 1:9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. 10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. 11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. 12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.

Do I believe in God?

Unless we have salvation there is no way to live like we are saved. We will not have the Holy Spirit guiding us in the way we should go. If I lived as “though” I was truly saved without asking Christ for salvation I would go to hell. We have to know and it’s not that hard to know.
DEUTERONOMY 11:16 Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them; There are some questions you need to ask yourself. Do I believe in God? Do I believe God sent His beloved son here to die for a sinful world? Do I Believe Christ went to the cross, was crucified, went to hell, conquered it and rose from the grave to give salvation? Have I repented of my sin and asked Christ for salvation? If you haven’t asked yourself that you need to. PSALMS 32:5 I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah. We all sin and will till we die. You can have comfort in knowing that you are saved from your sin and there is nothing that can pull us away from Christ including ourselves. MATTHEW 6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Here is a sample prayer if you're not saved today ask God for salvation in Jesus Christ's Name. Saying this prayer is a way to declare to God that you are relying on Christ for your salvation. The words themselves will not save you. Only faith "full belief" in Jesus Christ can provide salvation. “Dear Heavenly father I know that I have sinned against you and am deserving of punishment. But Christ took the punishment that I deserve, so that through faith in Him I could be forgiven?" "Jesus Christ, with your help I place my trust in you for salvation, and I ask that you will forgive me of my sins. I thank you for your wonderful grace and forgiveness.” Go tell a Christian church you have asked Christ for salvation and go to Sunday school you'll find fellowship and the study of the bible to be a great help as you grow as a Christian. |

The main thing you will ever do is ask Christ for salvation. Everyone comes to a point in life when they will have to choose it or not.
MARK 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? 37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Becoming completely dependent on God will for some be fairly easy for others it takes a person seeing there wretched state and a full surrender to God. For me it took until i had see how bad i was. JOHN 15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Christ loves you and knows that you have pressure on yourself. The devil does not care but with Christ you can handle that pressure. HEBREWS 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Here is a sample prayer if you're not saved today ask God for salvation in Jesus Christ's Name. Saying this prayer is a way to declare to God that you are relying on Christ for your salvation. The words themselves will not save you. Only faith "full belief" in Jesus Christ can provide salvation. Dear Heavenly father I know that I have sinned against you and am deserving of punishment. But Christ took the punishment that I deserve, so that through faith in Him I could be forgiven? Jesus Christ, with your help I place my trust in you for salvation, and I ask that you will forgive me of my sins. I thank you for your wonderful grace and forgiveness. Go tell a Christian church you have asked Christ for salvation and go to Sunday school you'll find fellowship and the study of the bible to be a great help as you grow as a Christian. |

God made hell for the devil but the devil wants to take as many as he can with him. God sent Christ as a sacrifice to keep us from Hell.
ISAIAH 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! The Holy Spirit will do one of two things to start with. He will reveal to your heart our savior Jesus Christ or if you won’t ask for salvation after he has tried enough he will leave you alone to live your life. The Spirit after you turn Him away for the last time knows that you will not surrender your soul to Christ. JOHN 15:4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. You will not understand Gods word until the Spirit revels it to your heart to ask our Lord for salvation. Once you are saved the spirit will reveal further Gods word to you. EPHESIANS 1:13 In whom ye also [trusted], after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, It will not be possible to know that Christ is our Lord unless the Holy Spirit is leading you. 1CORINTHIANS 12:3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and [that] no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. Here is a sample prayer if you're not saved today ask God for salvation in Jesus Christ's Name. Saying this prayer is a way to declare to God that you are relying on Christ for your salvation. The words themselves will not save you. Only faith "full belief" in Jesus Christ can provide salvation. “Dear Heavenly father I know that I have sinned against you and am deserving of punishment.

We came to this country for freedom. In Europe at the time it wasn't even an idea. The reason for “The Separation of Church and State” was for freedom. Christ tells us to go unto the world and tell of His salvation. We want to have the freedom to do that which is right.
MARK 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. For example, you will not find anything in the Ten Commandments that a person shouldn’t obey. There are governments that are not as lenient as we are. In fact there are governments that kill Christians just for being a christian. JOHN 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. “The Separation of Church and State - The constitution states, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” People confuse that as meaning government shouldn't have any Christian monuments i.e. the Ten Commandments in court houses or do any Christian thing. Quite the contrary. It simply means that government will not make any law to prohibit or rule over anyone from believing any way. It gives people the right to choose. Other countries suffer because they don't have the law. ACTS 15:7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men [and] brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. We are lucky in America we can spread Gods word without worrying much about persecution. But even though in the uttermost parts of the Earth we need to spread that Christ will give salvation to anyone. 1THESSALONIANS 1:10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, [even] Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. A person cannot spread Gods word sitting at home doing nothing. We have to get out of the house and tell people of Christ. We can’t leave it up to our pastors and deacons to be the only one’s telling of our Lords great salvation. Here is a sample prayer if you're not saved today ask God for salvation in Jesus Christ's Name. Saying this prayer is a way to declare to God that you are relying on Christ for your salvation. The words themselves will not save you. Only faith "full belief" in Jesus Christ can provide salvation. “Dear Heavenly father I know that I have sinned against you and am deserving of punishment.
