this is amazing. i typed a long chunk of words and it just disappeared!
i'm going to do it again.
i once asked a friend. " what do you know about christianity?"
she replied. " i just know that they are very nice people."
i felt really sad to hear that from her. I didnt get to fully explain to her cuz we had limited time. but this faith that we hold on to. it's something more. something deeper.
People ask, "why must you christians always "force" people to go to church? what's the difference between all the religions? aren't they all teaching people to have good morals and be righteous people?"
yes. but the difference is, we believe in the One and only Almighty God, that created the Heavens and the earth. that He sent His only begotten Son to come to earth to die on the cross for our sins. to bring us salvation and reconciliation with our Father in Heaven. We believed that after His crucifiction, on the 3rd day, He resurrected and is sitting at the right hand of the Father. He's alive. one day, they will return. to judge the living and the dead. we believe in spreading this good news.
being Easter, we're reminded of this event that changed all our lives. the sacrifice our Saviour, Father and Friend made.
whether you've heard it umpteem times or for the first time, have you had this miracle before? would you like to accept Christ as Lord? Would you like to be part of this family?
maybe you think you're still young. maybe you think this decision can wait.
wait no more. now is the time! :)
if you would like to make that decision, just say the following prayer.
"Dear Heavenly Father, I know I have sinned. thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. Come and take control over my life and wash me white as snow. For this day forth, help me to obey and follow Your will. make me a better person. Come into my heart. I invite the Holy Spirit to be my light and guide. in Jesus' name, Amen."
so simple? yes.
unbelievable? i know ;)
if you did make this decision, maybe you wanna find a friend that you know that shares this faith. and ask them to help you discover this new faith. :) i'm sure they will gladly help. it's gonna be an exciting journey. but it won't be a bed of roses, that i can assure you. but we are all growing and learning together. :)
Blessed Easter! :)
will be out of town. till the next entry...
cheerios! :)
