Jesus Died For You

Is there an emptiness in your life? Is there a void that you just can't seem to fill? Money doesn't do it. Power doesn't do it. Sex doesn't do it. Drugs don't do it. What could possibly fill that void and make your life whole?

Jesus...Because He Loves You Enough to Die For You

Here's a letter that Jesus addressed to you:

I had to write to tell you how much I love you and care for you. Yesterday, I saw you walking and laughing with your friends; I hoped that soon you'd want me to walk along with you, too. So, I painted you a sunset to close your day and whispered a cool breeze to refresh you. I waited--you never called--I just kept on loving you.

As I watched you fall asleep last night, I wanted to hold you. I spilled moonlight onto your face--trickling down your cheeks as so many tears have. You didn't even think of Me; I wanted so much to comfort you.

The next day I exploded a brilliant sunrise into glorious morning for you. But you woke up late and rushed off to class--you didn't even notice. My sky became cloudy and My tears were the rain.

I love you, oh, if you'd only listen. I really love you. I try to say it in the quiet of the green meadow and in the blue sky. The wind whispers My love throughout the treetops and spills it into the vibrant colors of all the flowers. I shout it to you in the thunder of the great waterfalls and compose love songs for birds to sing to you. I warm you with the clothing of My sunshine and perfume the air with nature's sweet scent. My love for you is deeper than any ocean and greater than any need in your heart. If you'd only realize how I care.

My Dad sends His love. I want you to meet Him--He cares too. Fathers are just that way. So, please; call on Me soon. No matter how long it takes, I'll wait--because I love you.

Your friend,

Jesus

Holier Than Thou

I hope that you don't think that I'm some "Holier than thou" Christian who's trying to reshape the human race in my "perfect" image, because this is far from the truth. According to Romans 3:23, "...all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God..." I am definitely included in this category, as are all of us.

Even if you haven't committed adultery or murder or some other "terrible sin", I'm sure that you've lusted after money or power, or someone of the opposite sex. If not, have you ever said something inconsiderate or mean to another or done something that hurt another person? I know I have - plenty of times. Do you really think that any of us is perfect enough to work our way into heaven. Heaven is perfect, and everything and everyone who is or will be allowed to enter must be perfect.

Please do not misunderstand me. In no way am I trying to say that you, or I or anyone else on this earth is worthless, to man or to God. Far from it. First of all, nobody sacrifices anything for something or someone worthless. And yet, God gave His prescious Son to be beaten and tortured and to die for our sins. Doesn't this tell you something about how important we are to God. We were created in his image, and as such we have inherent worth to God and to man (this is why abortion and euthenasia are wrong--all living beings have inherent worth to God and man, regardless of what they can or cannot do).

This worth does not depend on what we do or what we say or even how we act. If it did, we'd all be completely doomed. We do too many hurtful and selfish things to ever "work" our way into God's heart. Luckily, we are already there. God loves us in spite of our faults and shortcomings.

This page is here as a way to introduce you to Jesus, the only person who can make you perfect in the eyes of God. Because of his death and ressurection, his sacrifice, my sins have been washed away and some day I am going to meet God face to face in heaven so that I can thank him for all that he has done for me. Will you have that opportunity? We will all meet God someday. The question is whether He will allow us to remain with Him in heaven.

Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life: no man (or woman) comes to the Father, but by me." -John 14:6. If you don't know him there's no hope. "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." -Romans 6:23.

Jesus IS our road to eternal life. Let's face it, he gave it to us, he can take it away. OR HE CAN LET US KEEP IT FOR ETERNITY!!!!

YOU can have eternal life and peace right now. Jesus can cleanse you and make you whole again in the eyes of God. Do you want peace, freedom from your addictions, the power to love and be loved again? Jesus can give you all of that and so much more. All you have to do is ask. Right now. Not tomorrow, not next week or next year. That may be too late. There's no second chance after death. Besides, why would you want to wait. Jesus is offering you a gift with no strings attached--a gift so precious He had to die to give it to you.

Just ask Jesus into your heart. He's listening. Tell Him that you know you're a sinner, and you need his cleansing power. Tell Him that you want to put your sin aside and be cleansed. He will help you. Only He can do that for you.

Feeling a Little Different?

Anyone who just asked Jesus into their hearts and lives may be feeling a little different. That's good! That feeling is clean, spiritual freedom. Satan doesn't have a hold on you anymore. But, don't let it end here. You need to find someone who can support you in your new life in Christ. Old habits are hard to break and Satan is always going to be there to tempt you back. Find a church or pastor or family member who is a Christian and tell them about your new found salvation. They will be elated. Then ask them if they will help you stay on track and keep you accountable. If you can't think of anyone, e-mail me. I'll be glad to talk with you. I'm no great religious teacher, and I'm not perfect. But, I love Jesus and He loves me. I want you to love him to. I'm here to help in any way I can.

No Intellectual Basis for Belief in God?

For those of you out there who think there is no intellectual basis for believing in God or Creation, etc., think about it this way. There are only two theories right now which are used to describe where the universe and we as individuals came from. One says that God created it all. The other, "Big Bang-Evolutionism" says that it all started about 20 billion years ago with a spinning ball of matter and a big bang. Where did the stuff come from for there to be a big bang?
