Bible

Old Charles Spurgeon puts in everyday terms, that is why I like his writings so well. This is one of my favorite quotes of his because it is a wake up call for all Christians not to neglect the word of God and what are the consequences of it. How can we defend something if we haven't even read it ourselves?

If this be the Word of God, what will become of some of you who have not read it for the last month? “Month, sir! I have not read it for this year." Ay, there are some of you who have not read it at all. Most people treat the Bible very politely. They have a small pocket volume, neatly bound, they put a white pocket-handkerchief around it, and carry it to their places of worship. When they get home, they lay it up in a drawer till next Sunday morning; then it comes out again for a little bit of a treat and goes to chapel; that is all the poor Bible gets in the way of an airing. That is your style of entertaining this Heavenly messenger. There is dust enough on some of your Bibles to write “damnation” with your fingers . There are some of you who have not turned over your Bibles for a long, long, long while, and what think you? I tell you blunt words, but true words. What will God say at last? When you shall come before him, he shall say, “Did you read my Bible?” “No.” I wrote you a letter of mercy; did you read it?” “No.” “Rebel! I have sent you a letter inviting you to me: did you ever read it?” “Lord I never broke the seal; I kept it shut up.” “Wretch!”, says God, “then you deserves Hell, if I sent you a loving epistle and you would not even break the seal: what shall I do to you?” Oh! let it not be so with you. Be Bible readers; be Bible searchers .
God Bless,

Denie Christ

"It is impossible to calculate the moral mischief, if I may so express it, that mental lying has produced in society. When a man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believe, he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime." -Thomas Paine
The easiest way to see this happening is in politics. A politician will tell one group of people he believes in Christianity and tell another group their religion is correct to. When any of us compromise our beliefs in Christ to get ahead in this world, it is a sin. Be a person that people know where you stand in your faith and morals. I can respect a person who claims to be a atheist and acts like it better than a man who claims to be a Christian and shows no sign of it.
Whatever you do in this life, don't let your walk with Christ be compromised to get ahead in this world or to fit in with a certain crowd.
Luke 12:9 (New King James Version)
9 But he who denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.

Great People

"There is no such thing[as great people]! The greatest man or woman is 99 % just like yourself."-G.B. Shaw We see all these celebrities and presidential candidates on T V and put them up on some high horse. A lot of people even worship them in one way or another as if they are something special. My question is what have they done for you to deserve this and in Gods eye's how are they the same as you? God is the only one we should hold up on high. No person or thing should come between you and Him.Everyone will have to go before God on judgment day. That includes world leaders, movie star's, famous people, all the way down to the lowest person in society. Everyone must repent from their sins, put their trust and faith in Christ alone. God see's when He looks upon this earth only two kinds of people, the saved and the damned.

John 3:3 (New King James Version)3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
