“O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!
Romans 7:24-25a
Bring the sinful people we are, we need a deliverer!! Who might that be? Jesus!!! The only ONE who can deliver us….did!!! His death, burial and resurrection provided everything needed in the eyes of God to deliver us from hell!! Praise be to Jesus!!!

“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.”
Psalms 23:1
We started VBS at church last night. Had a great time with the kids. Above is the verse we learned about. When the Lord is our Shepherd we shall not want be cause He meets all our needs. A truth I have learned for myself. I pray you can say the same. I thank God for being the kind, gracious Shepherd He is and that He takes care of His sheep!

Be careful how you answer that question. We tend to compare ourselves to someone else and say “I am a good person.” Especially compared to do and so. Let’s see what God says:
“As it is written: “There is none righteous, no, not one; There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God. They have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no, not one.””
Romans 3:10-12
Conclusion…you are not good! Ouch!
So how does one become good? Only one way!
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation,”
II Corinthians 5:17-18
In Christ is only way to be good in God’s eyes. Following Jesus as your Lord and Savior by trusting in His shed blood to cover your sins. Nothing you have done can make you good it’s all Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit.
I know that’s a tough pill to swallow but it’s the truth!

“Iniquities prevail against me; As for our transgressions, You will provide atonement for them.”
Psalms 65:3
God did provide!
No greater gift than what God has given us through His Son Jesus covering our sins with His shed blood. Praise the Lord!!! Hallelujah!

“In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.”
John 1:4
Only ONE can claim to be life. Jesus Christ. If you are not a follower of Him you do not have the life God made for you. That life is to worship and be with God for eternity. Words cannot describe what our Father in heaven has for His children. Don’t miss it!!!

“We praise you, God, we praise you, for your Name is near; people tell of your wonderful deeds.”
Yes we praise the only ONE who deserves it! Always near and blessed us over and over again with wonderful deeds!
We love you Lord!!!

“for death is the destiny of everyone; the living should take this to heart.”
Ecclesiastes 7:2b
The wis King Solomon reminds us if you are alive death is coming. Are you prepared? Only one way to be prepared and that is by being in Christ! Faith in Him alone secures your eternity in heaven…without Him you eternity will be in hell.
As Soloman said “take this to heart”! Follow Jesus now!
