Freedom

"You cannot parcel out freedom in pieces because freedom is all or nothing."

This is so true. This quote is from Tertullian, a great thinker in his time. As we have just celebrated our Country's Independence I wonder how you celebrate your Christian freedom? So many times we forget that it was at a cost also. For freedom to happen something has to die. Christ died so that you could live with him in heaven for eternity. Praise God, for Jesus Christ, God's son came freely to take our sin's punishment for us. As you think about this remember; how did you celebrate the 4th of July? And how do you celebrate freedom from sin every day? I am sure the 4th was with excitement, fireworks, great feast with family and friends. But freedom from sin because of Jesus Christ, usually quiet, sober, feelings no excitement at all. WHY?

Preacher

Are you hurting, lonely, feel left out, searching for meaning in your life?

Try Jesus Christ. All of us are invited by God to repent, to trust and follow Jesus Christ. In Revelation 3: 20 Jesus says; "Listen! I am standing at the door, knocking; if you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to you and eat with you, and you with me." If we will open our hearts door to Jesus Christ and repent and believe, He will come and dine with us. Repent; turning away from sin and toward God. Turning one's total life toward the total will of God. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life." Jesus Christ is the only way to meaning in life, you were once nothing but when you accept Jesus Christ you are a somebody. I Peter 2:9. "But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's own people, in order that you may proclaim the mighty acts of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. 10. Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy." When you repent and believe you become a new creature in Jesus Christ. If you would like to reciece Jesus Christ as your Lord Savior pray this prayer, believe and trust and you are forgiven. "For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth takes its name. I pray that, according to the riches of his glory, he may grant that I may be strengthened in my inner being with power through his Spirit, and that Christ may dwell in my heart through faith, as I am being rooted and grounded in love. I pray that I may have the power to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that I may be filled with all the fullness of God. Amen. Praise the Lord. Taken from Ephesians 3:14-19
