Do You Want The Good News Or The Bad News?

"Lets hear the bad news first."

"You are a hopeless sinner, blind to the truth, wallowing around in foolishness.  You are depressed and empty on the inside.  Everything you do is meaningless, and the lusts you chase after only end up hurting you more.  You are depraved and decadent.  You are unpleasant to those around you, and the one who made you won't even look at you.  You will die any day now, and when you do your punishment will be suffering eternally the wrath of God."

"Ok.  What is the good news?"

"It doesn't have to be this way.  Repent, and put your faith in Jesus!  Through His blood and His sacrifice you will be cleansed.  Through the indwelling of His Spirit your mind will be renewed.  Through His plan you have a purpose, and your life is meaningful to angels in heaven.  By following His decrees and learning from His wisdom you can overcome all temptations.  God created you and He wants you to be what you were meant to be - a prince or princess in His eternal kingdom.  By covering yourself with His righteousness you will be beautiful, radiant, pleasant and everything good.  And by trusting in God every step of the way your destination is eternal glory with God in heaven."

About Me

Unimpressive in person. But always praying that these letters I write will be weighty and forceful. I serve the Almighty as a servant of Christ. I strive to conquer hearts and minds with the word of God. I am nothing, but the Holy Spirit living inside me is omnipotent. By Him I can run and not grow weary, or walk and not be faint. All glory and honor be to God and to Jesus the Christ.
