A NEW LIFE

Character is what you are in the dark. Dwight L. Moody
If you have integrity nothing matters, if you don't have integrity nothing matters. Alan Simpson So many people in today's time do one thing when people are watching and another when they are alone. They show up at church for one hour a week and live like the world the rest of the time. We should remember that it is not man we are to please but Christ should be our motive behind all that we do. He see's all that we do , He knows your heart, thoughts, and deeds. Your belong to Christ if you are a Christian. Your were bought for a price, a price that you could not pay yourself. Christ died for you and me, He saved us from the wrath of God. Christ gave us a new life, a life to be lived for Him. We should all ask ourselves, if our lives ,are growing towards Christ or are we the same as we have always been? The WORLD we once loved-- is now a crucified thing. The PLEASURES we once indulged-- have lost their charm. The SINS we once committed-- are now loathed and forsaken.

The SOCIETY we once enjoyed-- no longer attracts or pleases.


The walk and conversation of a renewed man, will be the outward and visible reflection of an inward and visible grace." Behold! he is a new creature; old things have passed away; all things have become new!"

Remember, If you can't do it in front of Christ, Don't do it. The truth is you are always before Christ, always remember that.

1 Corinthians 6:15-21 (New King James Version)
15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not! 16 Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.”[a] 17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.18 Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. 19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? 20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body[b] and in your spirit, which are God’s.
