Even if You're A Really Bad Person

Even if you are a really bad, evil person - God still loves you.  Just go to God, confess your sins, and He will forgive you completely! And He will give you a new clean slate!

If you fall again, God still loves you!  Repent and Ask Him to help you, and God will forgive you and help you and give you another clean slate.

However, God expects you to turn away from sin.
He expects to see improvement in your life.
He wants you to exercise faith in His Son Jesus Christ.

 It is not "once saved always saved".  Because, "faith without works is dead!". James 2:17-20.

- Holy Scriptures Only

God will have a people to maintain the Scriptures, and the Holy Scriptures only, as the standard of all doctrines and the basis of all reforms....

Before accepting any doctrine or teaching, we should demand a plain, "thus says the Lord" in it's support.

Satan is constantly trying to attract attention to Man in the place of God.  The devil leads people to look to church leaders, pastors and theology professors, as their guides, instead of searching Holy 

Scripture to learn their duty for themselves.  

The Great Controversy, 595, e g white (paraphrased)

Obtaining Knowledge

Gods people are directed to Holy Scripture as their safeguard against the influence of false teachers and the delusive power of demons. Satan uses every possible method to prevent people from obtaining a knowledge of Holy Scripture, for its plain writings reveal the devil's deceptions.

The Great Controversy, 593, E G White (paraphrased)

I thank God for you

I have not stopped thanking God for you (the reader), I pray for you daily.
Ephesians 1:16

Even before God created the world, He loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in His eyes.  God decided back then to adopt us into His own family by bringing us to Himself thru Christ Jesus.  It gave Him great happiness to do this!
God is so rich in love and grace that He purchased our freedom with the blood of His Son Jesus and forgave our sins!
Ephesians 1:4-7

Tomatoes and What a Night!

At our new home I decided to grow tomatoes. 

Being a city-girl I decided one tomato plant produced only two tomatoes a year so planted twenty-four plants!  We had hundreds of tomatoes! We canned and canned and gave tomatoes away and sold the surplus to the market!      

Shortly after moving in, at about 2 a.m., we heard unearthly sounds outside the bedroom window. Andy said he would investigate.  After waiting thirty minutes, and no sign of Andy, I made a search of the house then stepped outside, but could not locate him anywhere!  I feared the worse.

The horrible noises continued so after calling the police and telling them the situation I closed the bedroom door.  Moments later the phone rang.  Rushing to the kitchen phone I ran into a man in the hall!  He grabbed me as I hit him over and over in the chest!  The raspy voice said, "it's me!" but he did not sound like anyone I knew! 

Finally the voice sounded coherent, it was Andy!  Seems he fell asleep in the spare room and the phone woke him up.  He had never gone outside! 

The call was from the police verifying my earlier call.  Andy’s explanation that no one called did not convince the officers and they came immediately.  They checked our property for signs of an intruder, but could find nothing. 

What a night!!!

         

The coming of the Anti-christ

 The coming of the Anti-christ: For satan himself masquerades as an angel of light! So is it any wonder if his followers pretend to be holy and righteous? Their end will be what they deserve.. 2 Corinthians 11:13-15

God Believes in You!

God is so powerful that He could force us to love Him, but

God doesn’t use force, because He loves us and wants us to love Him back.  Even if you hate God – He still loves you.

Bad things happen to good people – it’s because of sin,

not  because God hates you.  

God loves everyone.   The devil hates everyone. 

You don’t believe in God?  He believes in you!

Trust yourself to God – He will care for you.

Our Friend in Trials and Sufferings

Sometimes, we are called to pass through periods of trial and hardship.  Our future seems hedged with difficulties.  Our faith and loyalty are tested to the limit.  But NEVER does God desert us.  He awaits the right moment to come to our rescue.

 Maybe you are troubled, perplexed, and afraid; it may be because you have forgotten that you have Jesus for a Friend.   Jesus is “a very present help in trouble” Psalm 46:1.  Take Jesus at His word and go boldly and with confidence and tell Jesus all that is on your heart.

Often Our Plans Fail

Often our plans fail,

That God’s plans for us

May succeed!

God Always Wins!

If you think you can beat the devil on your own, you are greatly mistaken. Satan (Lucifer) was the fourth most powerful being in the universe next to God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

We fool ourselves if we think we can handle Satan's temptations and life's struggles on our own.

But we can overcome Satan by the power of God!

I have read the Bible cover to cover and God does not lose! - God never loses! God always Wins!!

Description of Lucifer's pride & fate:  Ezekiel 28:2-19 and Isaiah 14:3-17

Curse into a Blessing

And the Lord your God will turn a curse into a blessing for you, because God loves you!

Deuteronomy 23:5

What To Do Right Now

God loves you so much. He gave His life to save you from eternal death.

He longs for you to be happy now and in your eternal Home in Heaven when He comes to take you back Home with Him.

Give your life to Him.  Don’t say no to Jesus!

Life has many problems. Turn away from these sorrows and turn to God, now and always.

God our Refuge

Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, even the Most High, your refuge; then no evil shall happen to you. Neither will any plague come near your dwelling.    
Psalm 91:9-10.

Perils Surround Us

Perils surround us, and we are safe only as we feel our weakness and cling with the grasp of faith to our mighty Deliverer (Jesus).

Ministry of Healing, 456, E G White

Dear Friend

Dear Friend: God loves you so much. Go to Him with your problems, your worries, your heartbreak. He understands. He will not judge you. He will help you. He is your best Friend - your Friend forever. Trust Him!

Perfect Peace - Do Not Worry

“Like a father pities his children, so the Lord pities those that fear Him. For He knows our frame, He remembers that we are only dust.”  Psalm 103:13-14

“Do not worry about anything, but in everything, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7

“God will keep you in perfect peace, when your mind is focused on God, because you trust in God.” Isaiah 26:3

And the Lord your God, will turn a curse into a blessing for you, because the Lord your God loves you!  Deuteronomy 23:5

Unpardonable Sin

No one need to look upon the unpardonable sin against the Holy Spirit as mysterious. The unpardonable sin is the persistent refusal to repent.

In the Bible book of Acts, the apostle Paul pleaded with Governor Felix twice to repent, but Felix told Paul to go away and that he might call for Paul at a more convenient time. But Felix never called for Paul again.

Felix slighted his last offer of mercy; never was he to receive another call from God.

If we are honest with ourselves, we can count many calls from God to repent and be saved.
 How many calls will God give us? Felix had only two!

Stop Worrying My Daughters

...We want to see you trusting fully in the precious Savior. He loves you. He gave His life for you because He values you.

…Put away your distrust, your worrying, your fears. Look away from yourself to Jesus; look away from others to Jesus.

God has spoken to you words of encouragement; grasp them, act upon them, walk by faith, and not by sight.

…Jesus holds His hand beneath you. Jesus will not allow the enemy to overcome you. Jesus will give you the victory. He has the virtue; He has the righteousness. …It is yours by faith because you love God and keep His commandments.

…Talk of the promises of God. Talk faith. Trust in God, for He is your only hope.

excerpts from Daughters of God 145-147, E G White

An Influence that All will Value

Cultivate respect for yourself because you are Christ’s purchased possession.

Success in the formation of right habits, advancement in that which is noble and just, will give you an influence that all will appreciate and value.

Live for something besides self.

…Do good, if you would be cherished in the memory of others. Live to be a blessing to all with whom you come in contact….
