CHOOSE JESUS!

John 8:12

"Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, "I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life."

"I PLEDGE MY ALLEGIANCE TO JESUS!"

"I PLEDGE MY ALLEGIANCE TO THE LAMB!"

We all have a choice to make in life.

The question is;

WILL WE MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE?

WILL WE CHOOSE TO FOLLOW JESUS?

OR WILL WE CONTINUE TO WALK IN DARKNESS?

"JESUS HAS CLEARLY EXPLAINED THAT HE IS IN THE LIGHT!"

"HE HAS ALSO EXPLAINED THAT HE DESIRES FOR ALL TO JOIN HIM IN THE LIGHT!"

"BUT THE CHOICE IS OURS!"

"WE MUST CHOOSE TO FOLLOW JESUS!"

"CHOOSE THE LIGHT TODAY!"

"IF YOU ARE ALREADY IN THE LIGHT, INVITE SOMEONE TO JOIN YOU TODAY!"

"JESUS IS THE REASON WE CELEBRATE LIFE, BECAUSE HE IS LIFE ITSELF!"

Advice of the Wise!

Fear the Lord and turn away from evil.

It will be healing to your body

And refreshment to your bones."

Something I had to share....

A recent survey I read about. Quess who is being surveyed?

Here are the answers....

1. Over 40% say they are not born again.

2. 35% declare the Bible has errors (or they don't know if it has errors).

3. 90% attend or attended public schools.

4. 45% say homosexual behavior is not a sin, or they don't know if it's a sin.

5. 40% believe gay couples should be allowed to marry.

6. 20% say there are other holy books (other than the Bible) inspired by God.

Think you know who was being surveyed and asked these questions.....

It was church going Christians in their 20's.

I had the great priviledge to hear Dr. Ken Ham speak in person this past weekend, and the Lord used him to open my eyes to some things. It is a great thing to lead someone to Christ and have them pray the prayer of salvation and get "saved," as we like to say. But... a lot of that goes out the window if you don't invest in their lives, encourage them to grow in their faith, learn more about what God wants for them, and most importantly give them a foundation from which to build that faith upon.

That's how it was for me. I got saved at about 22 years old, and it was great. I wanted to live for God but didn't know what that meant or what was truly expected of me until many years later.

Love you all family.... and I'm here for you. Praise and glory to God!

God is the one who justifies; who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us."
