How to know Jesus

Perhaps you have been approached before by someone trying to tell you about Jesus. Maybe you listened, maybe you brushed them off. Whatever your response, it is important for you to know you are not reading this blog, this
specific page by accident. God designed for you to be here at this time. He does not want to lose you. The only
way you can enter heaven is through the saving grace of Jesus. Good deeds, church attendance or generosity will not get you there. It is only by the process below.

If you have not accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, please follow these steps.

Roman Road to Salvation

1. Everyone needs Jesus. Why? Because there is not one person who is sinless.

Romans 3:10-12 and 23 (NLT)
"No one is righteous - not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all
have become useless. No one does good, not a single one. For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of
God's glorious standard."

2. The consequence of our sins is death.

Romans 6:23 (NLT)
"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord."

3. Jesus Christ died for our sins. He paid the price for our death.

Romans 5:8 (NLT)
But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners."

4. We receive salvation and eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ.

Romans 10:9 and 13 (NLT)
"If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the
dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is
by confessing with your mouth that you are saved...For Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be
saved."

5. Salvation through Jesus brings us into a relationship with God.

Romans 5:1 (NLT)
"Therefore, since we have been made right in God's sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what
Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us."

Romans 8:1 (NLT)
"So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus."

How do you receive the gift of salvation?

1. Admit you are a sinner.
2. As a sinner, you deserve death (which means you will not be accepted in heaven).
3. Believe Jesus died on the cross to save you from your sins and from death.
4. Repent by turning from your old life of sin to a new life in Christ.
5. Receive, through faith in Jesus, his gift of salvation.

I am more than happy to talk more about this with you. If you don't understand or have questions about any
part of this, please get in touch with me. I will do my best to help you.

 In His service

It was a Monday

Well, yesterday was my first missed day posting to the blog.  It was truly a Monday.  We moved from my parents house into our "lakefront" property at Lake Yale Conference Center.  For those of you with no idea where Lake Yale is, I have posted a link.   http://www.lybcc.com/   A 27ft camper is now home and we feel really blessed to have been given this place to stay.  It was definitely a challenge to fit everything inside.  I guess I should clarify, we did not bring everything.  We downsized a bit on the clothes, doubled up on each hanger, left a few of Steve's books behind and the harp is staying at Mom's for now.  It took two trips to get everything here.  Just as I pulled in, my parents pulled in behind me.  They had been to a doctor's appointment and stopped by to see the new digs.  My mom marched right up to the sink and began washing dishes for me.  I unloaded my car and attempted to figure out where to put ev...

No more memories

 It has been a long 16 months since my last blog post.  Too much has happened...too much. The most significant event was the passing of my mother last September.  It was truly a heart wrenching experience.  Many of you who know me know that my relationship with my mother was difficult.  We loved each other very much, but we had a difficult time spending long periods of time together.  We were both strong willed, independent and opinionated.  She wanted her way and I wanted mine.  Ultimately this caused way too many disagreements and misunderstandings.  These times of turmoil I now realize were a total waste of time for us both.   In those last days, sitting in her hospital room, it became all too apparent we had spend far too many times being frustrated with each other, arguing or not speaking.  When they told us we would have 2 to 12 months on hospice, I resolved myself to make it the best time we had ever had....

Time stolen

Time is quickly stolen away as I realize it has been ten days since I last put my thoughts into a posting.  My weekdays are consumed with work and I am so mentally exhausted at the end of the 10-12 hours, I cannot think of anything except doing nothing.  The weekends are a dash of running errands, church activities and trying to cram time in with family and friends.  When I woke this morning, I could not believe Saturday and Sunday had already come to a close.  This morning actually consisted of my husband waking me at eight minutes after seven.  For a point of reference, I usually leave the house at 7:05 am each day.  That should give you a quick understanding of how my Monday started with a bang.  Before I could get to the car, one of my employees was calling to tell me she would be out sick today.  I tried to force my brain into action as I reviewed what else was going on today.  It had already escaped my memory that I had one employee c...
