Unashamed
It was near the end of the altar call. I saw him run down the stairs to the
field. He walked, head down, to his spot
on the grass. Something drew me to him
and I didn’t take my eyes off of him as he walked to the
field. I prayed for him. For the things going on in his life. That he
would know he was loved. I had to turn away for a moment and I lost him
on the field. The pastor prayed and the
people prayed with him while I looked for the young man. Then I thought I saw
his shoes on the ground. Could it be…? I kept my eyes on the spot and when the prayer
was over the shoes moved and I could see the young man again.
He had been kneeling.
Kneeling on a baseball field in front of crowds of
people and right beside many others who stood through the prayer. He was
unashamed to kneel and seek God openly.
I was moved.
The Bible says that every knee will bow and every
tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
Do you know Him? If not, please
check out the Bible. We are all sinners. But Jesus came to die for us….He came to take
our sins. If we turn from our sins and
ask Him to forgive us and follow Him, He will save us. Pray and ask Jesus to be your Savior
now.
Today could be your day to know that you will live
forever in heaven!
Romans 3:23 “For
all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
Romans 6:23 “For
the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus
our Lord.”
Romans 5:8 “But
God demonstrates His own love for us in this: while we were still sinners,
Christ died for us.”
1 Timothy 2:5
“For there is one God and one
mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.”
Romans 10:9 “That
if you confess with your mouth ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that
God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”
How to Be Saved:
Admit you’re a sinner. Turn from your sins. Believe that Jesus died for you on the cross
and rose from the dead. Pray and invite
Jesus to come into your life…receive Him as your Lord and Savior.
Pray: Dear
Jesus, I know that I’m a sinner and I ask for you to forgive me. I believe that You died for my sins and rose
from the dead. I turn away from my sins and
ask you to come into my life. I want you to be my Lord and Savior. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
Welcome to the family of God!!

Do You Know Him?
It happened again today. Another message in my inbox announcing the death of a classmate.
Always a shock.
Someone my age, dead.
It would be a lie to say it doesn't make me think about my life--my choices and how I'm living.
And it makes me want to run out and say, "Do you know Jesus? Have you accepted Him as your Lord and Savior?"
Because really, when you get down to what life is all about, it's about Him. It's about the fact that God sent His Son to die for our sins so we, when we accept Him as our Savior, can have eternal life. Christians die on earth, but they are very much alive in heaven.
The Bible says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16
God loves us and He made a way for us to get to heaven and live forever. We need to choose Him, though. He won't force His way into our lives.
You see, we are separated from God because of our sin.
The Bible says, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23
But because God loves us, He sent Jesus to die for our sins. "For Christ died for our sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God." 1 Peter 3:18 (to bring me to God, too!)
You just need to believe in Jesus and accept Him as your Lord and Savior. "That if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." Romans 10:9
I'm not good at running out in the street and asking others if they know Jesus, though I have done that on occasion. But I am writing about it right now and you're reading it. Maybe it's your time to believe. Maybe God had me write these words so you would see them right now at whatever time you're reading this. Maybe God has this time in mind for you to believe in Him and receive eternal life so you will live forever.
Do you know Him? Do you know Jesus? You can know Him today.
If you want to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, pray this prayer: Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and I ask for your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior. In Your Name I pray. Amen.
If you prayed that prayer and meant what you prayed, welcome to the family of God!!

26 Faces
I was, as was the world, deeply saddened by the events that took place recently in Connecticut. My thoughts and prayers are with all those touched by what happened last week.
26 Faces
I see 26 faces staring at me
Beautiful smiles, bright eyes I see
So precious to loved ones--sweet memory
These 26 faces kind and lovely
My heart often thinks of these I never knew
Taken too soon; what can the world do?
Honor them; pray all their families through
Show love and compassion; that's what we can do
Hold friends and family closer today
Help where there's need without delay
Take time right now for kind words to say
Don't wait any longer; speak your love today
I see 26 faces staring at me
Beautiful smiles, bright eyes I see
So precious to loved ones--sweet memory
These 26 faces kind and lovely
So precious to loved ones--sweet memory
We all will remember the faces we see

In the Middle
I love words. Sometimes I hear or read a certain word or phrase and it gets stuck in my head. I think about it; mull over it--most of the time without even meaning to. Today was one of those days. A sister in Christ wrote about how she wasn't thrilled to be sitting in the middle on a particular flight she was taking.
In the middle.
When I read those three words, they seemed to jump off the page at me.
I kept going over them in my mind.
I got my Bible...looked online...and here's what I found.
Jesus was often in the middle.
When the disciples were on a boat in a storm, Jesus went out into the middle of the sea.
The Gospel of Mark says, "When it was evening, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and He was alone on the land. Seeing them straining at the oars, for the wind was against them, at about the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea.... He spoke with them and said to them, "Take courage; it is I, do not be afraid.” Mark 6:47, 48, 50
Jesus intentionally put Himself in the middle of the sea. "He came to them." Once there, He comforted the disciples. Is there anyone or any circumstance you need to put yourself in the middle of in order to bring encouragement or comfort to those around you?
Jesus is there in the midst of our difficult times. When the winds of adversity blow against us, Jesus will be there to help us through. When we are afraid, He will be there to give us courage.
After Jesus had been crucified, two disciples were going to Emmaus. As they walked along, Jesus joined them and began talking to them. They didn't know it was Jesus at first. When they recognized who He was, Jesus disappeared. The two disciples went back to Jerusalem and told the apostles and others who had gathered there what had happened.
Luke 24:36 "While the two followers were telling this, Jesus himself stood right in the middle of them and said, "Peace be with you."
Jesus, in the middle again. I'm so glad he shows up. I need His peace and reassurance.
John 7:14 says "About the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and began teaching."
Some people believed in Jesus. Some wanted to arrest Him. He taught anyway. He was in the middle of the feast, doing the Father's business. Sometimes we may need to be in the middle doing the Father's business.
Even when some may stand against us.
Even when it is not the easiest thing to do.
The Bible doesn't use the words "in the middle" in the next three stories, but Jesus, again, shows up in the middle.
In the middle of a wedding, when the wine runs out, Jesus performs a miracle by turning water into wine. (John 2)
In the middle of a crowd, a woman desperate to be healed touches Jesus' garment and is made well. (Mark 5)
In the middle of a crowd's walk out of a city to bury a boy, the only son of a widow, Jesus goes to the coffin and raises the boy from the dead. (Luke 7)
And another time, Jesus, in the most loving act of all, while giving His life for us that we might have eternal life, was also in the middle.
"There they crucified Him, and with Him two others--one on each side and Jesus in the middle." (John 19:18)
I'm so grateful that Jesus loved us so much that He would die for us. Whoever you are.. whoever is reading this...Jesus loves you, too. If you don't know Him, ask Him to make Himself real to you. Talk to Him. Check out the Bible. He is real. He will change your life.
And whatever circumstance you're in the middle of today...
an illness
fear
job search
depression
heartache
relationship difficulty
a happy-no-problem kind of day
...anything..
Please know that Jesus is there, in the middle of it, with you.
He loves you. He will walk through everything with you.
And, to my sister in Christ, stuck in the middle of a place you don't want to be...know that you will be lifted in prayer...and that Jesus will be with you all the way..
every mile...
right there...
in the middle.
