Unless You Repent...

Luk 13:1-5 There were some present at that very time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And he answered them, "Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered in this way? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them: do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who lived in Jerusalem? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish."

That is Jesus' call, "Unless you repent, you will perish." People tend to think that Jesus came that we can have stuff, or live without problems. Wrong! Jesus came to save us from the bondage of sin. He promises nothing of value in this world, but rather tells us to store up our treasures in heaven. Where our treasures are, that is where our heart will be. I said all that to say this, if we come to Jesus and acknowledge we have sinned against Him, repent (turn from sin), and trust Him for salvation, we will be saved. Repent or you will perish.

Think you're a christian?

If you are not sure then I suggest you watch this video. I think everyone should view this video at least once or twice. Afterward, go to your prayer closet and ask God to examine your heart. Examine yourself to see if you are in the faith as the Word of God tells us to. If after watching, you are still not sure e-mail me and I will walk you through it. We need to be about the Father's business. God help us.

Be all that you can be....for the Lord!!!

I want to be the best I can be. The best "what" you might ask? Those of you that know me would probably say, guitar player. That is true but not what I was going for here. Some might say, a father and dad. Again, true, just not what I was going for. I am talking about,*drumroll*, I want to be the best christian I can be!!! It was pretty obvious I know. I have been so convicted lately. My heart has been burdened with the thought that people, people I know and don't know, are going to hell. What am I doing about it? Have I shared the truth of the Law and the Gospel with these people? God forgive me! I want to put into action what Christ has put in my heart.

If you are reading this and have never heard the Gospel before let me share it with you now. The Bible says that we are sinners. We have violated the Laws which God gave us. These are called the Ten Commandments. We are to use these as a mirror to see if we are in line with His standards. The thing is, none of us are. For example, How many lies have you told in your life? Quite a few I'm sure. The Bible says we are liars. Have you ever stolen anything regardless of value? If you have then you are a thief. Have you ever commited adultery? No? Listen to what Jesus said. He said,"If you look at a woman to lust after her you have commited adultery with her in your heart. Just the thought of doing something is as bad as actually doing it, in God's eyes.

If you were to die in that state, God would give you justice for breaking His laws. He is Pure, Holy, and Just in all His ways. You would end up in hell on the day of judgement. The Bible says that all liars will have their place in the lake of fire. It also states that no theif, no adulterer will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. This is some hard stuff. But this is the Gospel, that 2000 years ago God became man and took upon Himself the punishment meant for us. If you would repent, meaning turn from your sinning, and put your trust in Jesus to save you, you will be saved. Do that today because we are not garaunteed tomorrow.
