It has been an incredible few weeks around here! I don't know if you guys are know it, but we have had four folks accept Christ in the past week! Do you know what a cool thing that is? I mean, I'm not talking about people joining a club that we are a part of, or becoming members of our church, or anything like that. I am talking about people passing, quite literally, from death to life!
The Bible is clear that unless we believe in Jesus Christ then we face a life apart from God. In professing faith in Jesus we are saying, "God, we want to belong to you. We are tired of trying to live life on our own, and we need Your help!" In this confession, we are made sons and daughters of the greatest of kings. You and I become princess and princesses in an eternal and perfect Kingdom. That just about rocks my face off!
Just try to imagine this world if it were perfect, without pain, sickness, hurt, heartache, or death. Then multiply what you have thought of by a million. Even in doing that you have not even scratched the surface at how cool Heaven is.
Before we become followers of Christ, we have no part of this incredible Kingdom of Heaven. Romans 6:23 says that "the wages of sin is death. But the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." You see, in accepting Christ we go from having to pay the price of sin, which is death, to living forever a life of adventure, joy, and completeness!
If you have never accepted Christ, have questions about what it means to do so, or just want to dive into this God stuff a little deeper then I would love to help out! You folks know where to find me! Come on out this Sunday night, we'll be talking a little bit more about this stuff and a lot of other things.
All right, peace out and I love you all!

Me and my sister at the pool.
I was about 13 here. That's the pool I lived at every summer, all summer long.
