Forgiven!
Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. —Psalm 32:1
A little boy had just been tucked into bed by his mother, who was waiting to hear his prayers. But he had been naughty that day, and now it was bothering him. So he said, "Mama, I wish you'd go now and leave me alone. I want to pray by myself."
A little boy had just been tucked into bed by his mother, who was waiting to hear his prayers. But he had been naughty that day, and now it was bothering him. So he said, "Mama, I wish you'd go now and leave me alone. I want to pray by myself."
Sensing that something was wrong, she asked, "Bobby, is there anything you ought to tell me?" "No, Mommy," he replied. "You would just scold me, but God will forgive me and forget about it."
That little boy understood one of the greatest salvation benefits of all—the reality of sins forgiven. The Bible indicates that in Christ "we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins" Col. 1:14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. We who have received the Lord Jesus as Savior enjoy freedom from sin's eternal condemnation Rom. 8:1There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit., and we can also have daily forgiveness and cleansing 1 John 1:9If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
The apostle Paul said that salvation provides these added benefits: we are justified Rom. 3:24being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, and we are at peace with God 5:1Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,.
We should never get the idea that our sins are taken lightly by the Lord. But when we acknowledge our guilt with true repentance, God is ready to forgive because of what Jesus did on the cross. It's up to us to accept it. — Richard De Haan
OUR DAILY BREAD
A Personal Gospel
Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. —Mark 16:15
In John 3:16 we read, "For God so loved the world." But what about His love for individuals? The rest of the verse reveals the central purpose behind God's sacrifice of His Son: "That whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." Therefore, without exception, every person may interpret John 3:16 like this: "For God so loved me!"
A. B. Simpson, a great missionary of the past, often hugged a globe to his chest and wept over the world's lostness. Yet his global vision was marked by compassion for individuals. You and I also must feel the responsibility to take the gospel to our world—by sharing the good news with one person at a time.
Unfortunately, we often think of the Great Commission in terms of "foreign missions" only. "World missions" is perhaps a better term, for that includes our nearest neighbors, who are part of the world to which God has called us. And we are already there!
Like A. B. Simpson, embrace your smaller world through earnest prayer as you consider lost individuals in your family, neighborhood, and workplace. Then, as you seek to live and give the good news, expect God to open doors of opportunity. — Joanie Yoder
Jesus died to bring salvation
For the rich and for the poor;
Those of every tribe and nation—
He includes the ones next door. —Anon.
The light that shines farthest, shines brightest at home.
Romans 10:13-17 (NKJV)
13 For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.”
Israel Rejects the Gospel
14 How then shall they call on Him in whom 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?
15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written:
“ How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace,
Who bring glad tidings of good things!”
16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “LORD, who has believed our report?”
17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. —Mark 16:15

Why I Jeanette Try
Why I try to be a person that portrays Christ. I try do this in order to bring glory to my creator rather then shame. To show the world that my Savior lives through me. I am not perfect by any means yet my Savior loves me. The world is getting more and more like Noah's days and that lets me know that my Savior is coming like He said He would. Are you ready to meet Christ? I wounder sometimes my self because I mess up with the things that come out of my mouth, heart and mind. This is why I try to make amends with whom I've hurt. I try and make peace where ever I am.
