i love my church so much
i am so blessed to have the pastors and friends that i have
and i dont even deserve it
slept in this morning
listened to the service on the radio
it was very good
and one thing that he said made me think
he said dont forget that we are to go before God..
it made me think about alot of my lost friends
some in particular
who have asked me questions about sin and hell and what being saved means
and everytime i think i'm getting to them
they always come to the conclusion that they dont care if they're sinning its too much fun to just stop doing it...they seem to not care about sinning against God..and i know its becuz we love the sin of this world..and we hate God...
but i also think another reason why ppl dont care is becuz that most ppl want to fit in..they want ppl of this world to accept them...but what they fail to understand is that when we die...we will not stand before an imperfect sinful man..but we will stand before the almighty wonderful merciful wrathful God....HE will judge us..man will not...and if you havent realized the wrong you've done against Him..and accepted Christ into your heart..the sinless Saviour who died for our sins..then you will go to hell..there is NO other way to heaven...good works will not gain you the right to heaven...there is NOTHING we can acheive to get us into heaven..only through Christ can we obtian such a wonderful gift that we dont deserve...
i have a great burden for all of my friends..and I want all of you to know...that i am praying for every single one of you...lost or saved...
Matthew 7:13-14
13 “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. 14 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.
Matthew 7:21-23
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
