My Faith

     I'm glad you found my website. I have an unshakable faith in God and our Lord Jesus Christ. I know that God is with us at all times, even when it's not apparent. I know that Jesus died on the cross for my sins and yours. No sin is too terrible that the blood of Jesus doesn't wash us clean. All you have to do is repent of your sins and ask Jesus to be your Lord & Savior.

     I had no idea of what God was really like when I was growing up. I came to a saving knowledge and faith in God when I was 29 years old. In the Bible, the thief on the cross was saved shortly before he died. If you are alive and conscious, it isn't too late to make Jesus Christ your Lord. Once your dead, it's too late. And we never know what tomorrow will bring. A heart attack, stroke, automobile accident, or any number of tragedies could occur. Are you ready to meet your Maker?

     I remember seeing the movie Ben Hur as a child. I thought it was cool but did not understand the ending. Now I understand that Jesus came into the world, lived a sinless life, and was crucified and rose again. His crucifixion was punishment for all our sins. All we have to do is believe in Him, confess that we're sorry we sinned, and make Him our Lord & Savior.

My Church

 

      I am a member of Living Word (the geodesic dome building by the interstate in St Joseph). We are blessed with a pastor who has the gift of teaching. Services are normally at 9:30 on Sunday morning and are also currently live streamed & also available to view later. Due to the Corona virus, Wednesday night live services were cancelled, but have re-started on a limited basis(1st Wednesday of every month). On the other Wednesdays there is a new message from Pastor Mike available to watch on the internet (or later at your leisure).

A thought or two to REALLY LIVE by

The Bible says, "For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind". While we shouldn't be afraid of Covid19, we can act in love towards others by not doing things that might spread the disease(many healthy people can have Covid19 without manifesting symptoms). We can also pray for wisdom for our leaders. The Bible says we are to "lift up all those in authority". This was written at a time the Roman emperor was killing Christians, so whether or not one agrees with our leaders, we should pray for them to make the right decisions.

 

LIFE IS A LIFE OR DEATH MATTER

 

Jesus said "no one comes to the Father except through me" Many people say there are many ways to heaven, but that isn't what God's word says. Christ died for my & your sins, and rose from the dead so that we might have Eternal Life. Do you have eternal life yet?

They'll learn Bible stories and memorize scripture.
