IS THERE A BIBLICAL PRESCRIPTION TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN? YES! ONE, AND ONLY ONE. IT'S FOUND IN 2nd CHRONICLES 7:14; "IF MY PEOPLE WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME WILL HUMBLE THEMSELVES, AND PRAY AND SEEK MY FACE, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, THEN I WILL HEAR FROM HEAVEN, AND WILL FORGIVE THEIR SINS AND HEAL THEIR LAND."
THE ANSWER IS: TURN BACK TO THE LORD GOD-TO FAITH-FAMILY!
TO BE CHRISTIANS, WE MUST CONFESS AND AGREE WITH GOD THAT SIN IS SIN! KNOWING THAT GOD HATES SIN! THE SINNER MUST CONFESS, REPENT AND TURN FROM THEIR SINS, TURN TO JESUS AS LORD AND BE SAVED!
WE ARE!
CHRIST CENTERED
FAMILY FOCUSED
LIFE CHANGING
Remember: As Christians, we have a New Nature that is Constrained by the Truth of Scripture!
Knowing that; Truth is always Truth, from Eternity past, through Eternity Future.
SO REMEMBER! If it's True, it's NOT NEW- If it's New it's NOT TRUE!
***********************************
A POWERFUL TRUTH:The Word of God is alive and Powerful! When truly heard, this Word is Powerful enough to awaken the spiritually dead. His Word, when accepted as Truth; is Powerful enough to save men from their sin, therefore...Trust in Him; John 6:14. “How can they hear without a preacher?” – Romans 10: 13-15.
Should you have any questions, feel free to talk with me.

The Saga of a Local Church

Sunday Lunch at Church
************************
The Saga of a Local Church
And Four of Its Members:
Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, & Nobody
Each time there was a job to be done
Everybody was asked to do it.
Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that,
Because it was Everybody’s job.
Everybody thought Anybody could do it,
But Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it.
Consequently, it wound up that Nobody told Anybody,
So, Everybody blamed Somebody.

SALVATION: Not only to Eternity in Heaven, but from Eternity in Hell! You MUST, first of all: Humble yourself and Admit You Are a Sinner in Need of a Savior:
•James 2:10 “For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles on one (point), he has become guilty of all.”
•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 free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Accept God’s Love through the/Sacrifice in His Son Jesus •Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
Turn to God in Repentance •Acts 20:21 “I have declared to both Jews and Greeks that they must turn to God in repentance and have faith in our Lord Jesus.”
Trust the Fullness Jesus Christ! •Romans 10:9 “…if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved;”
•Romans 10:13 “For whoever appeals to God through the Name of the Lord Jesus, the Son, shall be saved.”
•Romans 10:14 “How then shall they call on Him Who they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of Whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?
•Romans 10:17 “So then Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.”
•Jeremiah 29:13 “You will seek Me (God) and find Me when you seek Me with all your (being) heart.”
It may not be easy to give up your old sinful ways, and turn in faith to Jesus Christ; but it is the only way to SALVATION, AND IT IS WORTH IT!
