    • Waiting Patiently…
      It is an amazing thing how when you feel as though you are in a dark room… so dark that you cannot see your hand in front of your face, when you thought there was a door but as soon as you checked the door was nowhere to be found. Then, all of a sudden, [...]
    • When You Feel Like Giving Up…
      As some of you are aware… my family has been going through very deep and dark valleys lately as many others are. This time in our lives are a testament to God’s faithfulness, even when we feel as though He is nowhere to be seen or even felt at times. He is still there. There are [...]

    • Saying Good-bye is never easy
      As I write this, my thoughts wonder to our beloved friend who we will greatly miss named Keani. Keani was our family kitty whom I have had for over 9 years. She passed away early on Sunday, July 5, 2009. She was gone before we woke. It has taken all this time for me to [...]
    • A Life in the balance
      Now, as I write this… my long time friend’s mother is being taken off of life support. My emotions are running the gammot during this time, so I thought I would write about it. My friend, lets call her “H”, and I have known each other for about 13 years. I spent so much time at [...]
    • A Broken Toe
      Yesterday, while I was cleaning our formal dinning table… I had to walk between the table and our china hutch. Well, the space between the two is a little tight and I ended up ramming my right pinky toe into the corner of the china hutch. This then caused my toe to move outward and began [...]
    • Conviction

    • Infant Blues
      I have had a hard time today and lately at different times. As many of you know from reading my “About Me” page, I have lost 5 babies. Well, it is difficult during the holidays. Also, I watched a movie tonight that had a young couple loose their baby right after it was born. It [...]
    • Working On… Working Out
      I have been feeling a bit strange lately. I haven’t been sure if it was me having panic attacks or something else. It would make sense if it were, however, when it comes upon me… I am not particularly feeling “panic” like. Could it be a subconscious panic attack? Is that something that is possible? See, [...]

The Gift of Salvation

The Gift Of Salvation

Psalm 145:18  The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in TRUTH

Romans 10:9  That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

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.

Acts 15:11  But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.

Acts 16:30-31  And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and they house.

1 Corinthians 1:18  For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

Ephesians 2 

And you [hath he quickened], who were dead in trespasses and sins;

Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air [Satan], the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

But God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loved us,

Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved);

And hath raised [us] up together, and made [us] sit together in heavenly [places] in Christ Jesus:

That in the ages to come He might shew the exceeding riches of His grace in [His] kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:

Not of works, lest any man should boast.

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

Wherefore remember, that ye [being] in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh [near] by the blood of Christ.

For He is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition [between us];

Having abolished in His flesh the enmity, [even] the law of commandments [contained] in ordinances; for to make in Himself of twain one new man, [so] making peace;

And that He might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh [near].

For through Him we both [Jew and Gentile/Christian] have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner [stone];

In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:

In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

Romans 3:23-26 

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

Whom God hath set forth [to be] a propitiation through faith in His blood, to declare His righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

To declare, [I say], at this time His righteousness: that He might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

Is Jesus your Savior AND your LORD? If not, ask Him to be. Ask Him to forgive you of all of your sins and to show you how to please Him. Read His Word and don’t follow men, follow only God through His Word, it is the only truth and the only way. Don’t hesitate, time is running out.

Please watch this and examine your heart to see if you truly desire God and to see if you have salvation. There is a price, your old nature for God’s love and His nature to renew you from the inside out.

      Shannon,

      You are obviously extremely upset and frustrated. Many mistake justice with evil because they do not want to be held accountable but just as with human laws, spiritual laws hold us accountable whether we like it or not. Regarding the Bible and it’s authorship… it is the inspired Word of God given by His Holy Spirit to men chosen of God to the world for the purpose of rejoining people to Himself. That is love, not evil. Regarding the burning of witches and pagans, this has happened in different places at different times by different faiths. You must know that just because someone does something in the name of a faith, does not make them part of that faith in Truth.

      It is obvious that someone has shared something with you that has convicted you of a sin and so your only way of reacting is to lash out at God because you know deep down that you are accountable for that sin(s) to Him. I hope that you know that because you are alive, you still have the ability to have a second chance. God is willing to forgive all you have ever done wrong… even the things you may not think are wrong. He deeply desires to cleanse you and make you whole so you are lacking nothing. He desires you to be with Him so that He can show you His love and share with you all that is His in eternal life. He does not desire you to suffer or lack or die in your sins. However, it is up to you to make the choice for life and love with Him. He will not force Himself on you. You must know this though, you only have a limited amount of time here on earth… in this life, to make that choice and no one knows how long you may have. Each chance you get and turn away from it, may be your last. Don’t loose out on your blessings because of pride or frustration. Eternity is such a huge price to pay.

      I hope that you will take this moment and open your heart to God. Tell Him how you feel. Ask Him to reveal His true self to you and to help you to let go of all of the pain and frustrations. Ask Him to help you to understand and to fill you with His love and peace in the process. He is faithful to be there for you in every trial you may face. In this life, we are not promised perfection, we are only offered hope of salvation so that we can obtain perfection through Him (Jesus) who paid the price for our sins and weaknesses here so that we could be with Him forever.

      Shannon, you are deeply loved. I hope you will be able to see that. No one wants you to suffer. The reason someone shares the truth with another, no matter how painful it may be to that person at the time, is because they love them and want the best for them. I pray for you to know the depths of the love of God and to gain peace in His salvation.

      Sincerely In Christ,
      Alison
