Know ye that the Lord he is God...enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. Psalm 100:3-4

Did You Tell Someone About Jesus?

Here is a tract that my sister found and I thought I would put it on here for everybody to read. I printed a few out and Lord willing, plan on handing as many out as possible. May this help you if you don't know Jesus as your Saviour, and if you already do; Praise the Lord! Preach the Word and spread the Gospel!!!


How to Know You Are Going to Heaven
By Dr. Curtis Hutson (1934-1995)

FIRST, YOU MUST ACCEPT THAT YOU ARE A SINNER.

(Romans 3:23), "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."

(Romans 3:10), "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one."

No one is perfect. No one has lived up to God's perfect standard.


SECOND, YOU MUST ACCEPT THAT AS A SINNER YOU OWE A PENALTY.

(Romans 6:23), "For the wages of sin is death ... ."

(Ezekiel 18:4), "The soul that sinneth, it shall die."

This death is described in the Bible as the second death, the lake of fire,

(Revelation 20:l4), "Death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death."

If we pay what we owe as sinners, we must spend an eternity in the lake of fire (Hell).


THIRD, YOU MUST ACCEPT THAT JESUS CHRIST HAS ALREADY PAID OUR SIN DEBT.

(Romans 5:6), "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."

(Hebrews 2:9b), " . .that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man."

Christ was not a sinner, and the Bible teaches that God took all of our sin and placed it on Christ. While Christ was bearing all of our sins in His own body, God punished Him in our place to pay the debt we owe. This is not something God promised to do. It is something God has already done.

(John 3:16), "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

(II Corinthians 5:21), "He hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him."

It is a fact, Jesus Christ has already paid your sin debt.


FOURTH, YOU MUST ACCEPT BY FAITH WHAT JESUS CHRIST DID FOR YOU. NINETY TIMES IN THE GOSPEL OF JOHN THE BIBLE SAYS, "BELIEVE."

(John 3:36), "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him."

In this verse. Jesus divides the world into two groups: those who are believing and those who are not believing on the Son. Those who believe have everlasting life, and those who believe not shall not see life.

The word believe means to trust, to depend on, to rely on. To believe on the Lord Jesus Christ means that you accept the fact that you are a sinner, that as a sinner you owe the sin penalty, and that Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay the debt you owe. But it means going one step further. It means that you will completely trust Christ to get you to Heaven - that you will put the matter of your salvation in His hands and depend on Him for everlasting life.

Now the moment you do this, God promises you are not condemned but have everlasting life and that you shall never perish.

(John 5:24), "Verily, verily, I Say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life."

If you will trust Jesus Christ as your Saviour, pray this simple prayer:

“Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner, and I deserve to pay my own sin debt, but I do believe that You died for me to pay the debt that I owe. Today, the best I know how, I trust You as my Saviour. I will depend on You from this moment on for my salvation, Now help me to live for You and to be a good Christian. Amen.”


Now as a believer in Christ, I hope these lyrics will help you. God help us to rise up and want Jesus more than anything in the world. Let's go soul-winning as Christians!

Today you walked another mile down the pathway that's leading you home
And you met many travelers along the way both strangers and friends that you've known
And often you stop to talk for a while with those you met on the way
But friend did you mention the name of the Lord to someone you talked with today?

Did you tell someone about Jesus? Did you mention His name to a friend?
Did you warn the stranger who's lost and undone, that death is the wages of sin?
Did you show them the plan of salvation? Did you tell them He's coming again?
Did you talk about Jesus on the things of this world? Did you tell someone about Him?

Some traveler you shall meet today may walk down this pathway no more
For this could be the final mile before his journey's o'er
How sweet it would be to meet him again in heaven some glad day
And hear him say I made it through for you told me about Jesus one day

Did you tell someone about Jesus? Did you mention His name to a friend?
Did you warn the stranger who's lost and undone, that death is the wages of sin?
Did you show them the plan of salvation? Did you tell them He's coming again?
Did you talk about Jesus on the things of this world? Did you tell someone about Him?

Last Summer Picnic

Late last summer on Labour Day my family and I all went to Clausen Springs to visit a friend and just have some fun together. We rarely all go for a family daytrip for fun anymore since we are all growing up and are old enough to stay home.

















Some went hiking in which the above pictures were taken, while some stayed to wait until our friend, Mark, showed up.

After they got back we had dinner and could look out across the lake while we ate. It was very relaxing to sit around and talk.



We later went canoeing in which he brought along for us since he only lives about 3 miles north. It was a long trip for us, but was a lot of fun for me, if not anyone else :-)

Dedicating this post to...

Yes :-) for you, Allison!! You may not understand why, but I just want to thank you for being the first and most faithful follower of my blog. Your advice and encouragement means more to me than you will ever know. For posting especially for me that one time still comes to my mind often to think you really liked my blog enough to do that. I love you, Allison and pray for you every day that God will bless you for how nice you are to me and probably not even knowing I take it so personally. I just wanted to tell you that I only get on the web when we go to town to the library which isn't very often, so you probably can figure I very much enjoy the use of scheduling posts which I am using a lot, so I hope to not quit blogging anytime soon. I like your pictures and look at them often.Well, I've probably said enough, just keep blogging; I really enjoy it and will try to get around to looking at them one time or another, so don't quit. I really like seeing all your pictures. You are really a blessing to me.

God bless you, Allison! I Love You,
-Debbora

I uploaded them high quality for you so you can keep them if you like.
