Don't Give Up

Isaiah 3:10 NIV "Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds."

Listen up believers ... keep on believing!!!!

Righteous does not mean you're doing perfect and doing everything right, but what it does means is that you are Right-Standing with God! How do you get right-standing with God? Through Jesus Christ alone. Salvation in Jesus name!

Birthday Blues

Psalm 2:7 NLT "The king proclaims the LORD's decree: "The LORD said to me, 'You are my son. Today I have become your Father."

The other day as my wife was cleaning, she came across a DVD box of one of my favorite movies, "Braveheart". On the box was a quote that read, "Every man dies, but not every man lives". There is so much truth in that statement and probably why it's one of my favorite movies.

Today I celebrate 30 years of existence and blessed to say 15 of those 30 years I actually lived! I gave my life to Jesus at the age of 14 years old and before that I didn't think I was going to live to see the age of 18. I actually cried tears of joy upon my 18th birthday. In my 14 year old eyes I had no purpose in life. I even tried to commit suicide several times. Don't get me wrong, I had a very loving family and many friends, but I was just empty inside and hated myself. Because I had no value in my life I did anything and tried anything without ever thinking of what could happen. I was carefree and careless. Death could have found me a number of times, but then I heard the King's proclamation!
