This makes a lot of sense. A lot of people call themselves "Christians." But most of them aren't willing to pick up their Cross and follow the Lord Jesus Christ.

Today was a pretty laid back day. But the most exciting part of any day is reading my bible! Oh man, that is the stuff! What is better than reading the Word of God? Literally nothing! The bible is the best book and most read book in the world! One of my favorite parts about reading the Word of God is meditating on the Psalms. Because I am singing my heart out to the Most High God, and just reading that part of scripture is awesome. David singing his heart out to the Lord, that is really beautiful. When a person from their heart sings out to the Jesus, it's wonderful. I am not a singer, yet I sing with all my heart to the Lord Jesus Christ and to Him, He thinks it's the most beautiful singing He has ever heard. I am singing praises to Him and praising Him for who He is. I am currently on the book of 1 Samuel right now, but the Psalms are just loaded and I love them! I have also been reading my devotionals as well and those are good, but the bible just beats everything! I have also applied for a job yesterday at this place called City Beach which is like a family atmosphere for entertainment and fun. But I would remind myself that it is just another place where I can fish for souls just like the Lord Jesus Christ commanded, just like any other place. I thank the Lord that every day I can have breath and be able to praise Him each day before I take my last breath and walk into His arms for all of eternity. But when my time does come to die, I know that it will be worth it and I will be with my Savior forever and ever and ever..... Amen.

Jesus is alive!!! :D

The Lord Jesus Christ is alive!!! That is the greatest news that has ever been spoken! People in the book of Acts couldn't wait to go and tell numerous strangers about this risen Savior who has rose from the dead and defeated death. Stephen, Peter, Paul, Andrew had to tell someone that Christ was alive. Jesus said to his disciples "Don't tell anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead." Matthew 17:9. The Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ is the best piece of evidence for our faith in the Lord. If Jesus predicted how He would die and did not fulfill it, then we have been lied to and our faith is literally useless. Just as Paul had said in 1 Corinthians 15:14 "And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith." Paul even takes it further saying that if Christ has not been raised, we are still in our sins 1 Corinthians 15:17. But Jesus has rose from the dead and here is the evidence. This is from Luke 24:36-49 when Jesus appears to His disciples. "While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you." They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost. He said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have." When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet. And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, "Do you have anything here to eat?" They gave him a piece of broiled fish, and he took it and ate it in their presence. He said to them, "This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms." Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. He told them, "This is what is written: Th Christ, will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high." The Lord Jesus Christ the only God, has been raised from the dead!!! No other person or "god" could do that. Only Jesus could and He did! He is the Savior of the world. If you have not repented of your sins. Please repent of them and believe upon the Lord Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Turn away from doing evil and believe in Jesus so you can follow righteousness! Amen!!! If you have repented of your sins and have become "born again" by believing in the Lord Jesus Christ please comment on this blog below. And praise the Lord!!!

"One of the reasons we are not as moved by our own faith is because we almost never talk about it with an unbeliever." -John Piper. 

You will always have a reason to live with the Lord Jesus Christ in your life. Amen. :)

I felt that I was not doing my devotionals as much as I could so today I got a chance to return to that task. I read the one today and the one yesterday since I have forgotten. Then I read the Word of God as well and read more than 1 chapter this time. A Christian friend of mine was supposed to come over but he told me that he did not plan it well. So instead he said that he would come over tomorrow so and him can hangout for a little before we go to a hangout party at our Church building. I just stayed at home mostly today and in the evening I got out some chicken that my Christian friends have given me as leftover. I microwaved it and began to start eating. Suddenly, the doorbell rings and I greet the man who is on my front porch. He asks me if my parents were home and I told him no. I told him that my dad, stepmom and stepbrother are traveling to Florida while I am living alone. He gave me a card that was about solar panels and it had his number on it. I  asked Matthew if he was busy (I knew his name before when I asked who was at the door before I opened it) he told me a little. I then had the boldness to ask him "can I ask you an interesting question?" He said "sure go for it", then I asked Matthew "when you die what do you think is on the other side? What do you think is out there when we walk out of here?" He told me that is an interesting question and so me and him start talking. Matthew told me that the soul which he believes enters a cycle, very similar to the beliefs in Hinduism and in Sikhism where both beliefs teach that the soul enters a cycle of rebirth. He also told me some other interesting stuff as well. Then I told him what I believed in and I took Matthew to show him his and how we are guilty of our sins in front of an all holy God. He understood that and I also used an example in Mark Cahill's book One thing you can't do in Heaven. Then he asked me if I would like to sit down, so me and him started talking more. We talked about what he believed then he asked me questions that he had. It was just great. I also told Matthew that I cared about his soul after everything I shared with him, and he appreciated it. I told him that I had a gift for him and so I went back into my house and got my only copy of one heartbeat away. I gave it to Matthew and he told me that he can return it. He was really thankful. I am also surprised that at the beginning of our conversation he told me that only a couple of people would actually talk to him at the door. Then he left and he told me to call him. His number was on the paper advertisement he gave me. Me and Matthew had a great conversation. I am so thankful the Lord brought him into my path so I could talk with him about the Lord Jesus Christ. He even knew a little bit about why Christ came to die which was for our since on the Cross. God is good!!! Please pray for the seed I planted in Matthew, that He would make it grow. Praise the Lord!!!

"Do not fear" the Lord says. He is always with you until the end. :)
