HE WOULD RATHER DIE THAN LIVE WITHOUT US...JESUS CHRIST, THE KING OF KINGS, THE LORD OF LORDS...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. FOR HE SENT NOT HIS SON INTO THE WORLD TO CONDEMN THE WORLD, BUT THAT THE WORLD THROUGH HIM MIGHT BE SAVED, FOR HE WAS NOT WILLING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH. FOR ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALL SHORT OF GLORY OF GOD, BUT THE GIFT OF GOD IS GRACE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD. HE DIED THAT WE MIGHT LIVE, FOR BY HIS STRIPES WE ARE HEALED. JESUS CHRIST THE LAMB OF GOD, THAT TAKES AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD. ONE SACRIFICE FOR ALL TIME. FOR THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH. THE SOUL THAT SINS SHALL SURELY DIE. IT IS APPOINTED UNTO MAN ONCE TO DIE AND THEN THE JUDGEMENT, ACCORDING TO THE WORKS THEY HAVE DONE IN THE BODY, SOME TO REDEMTION AND ETERNAL LIFE, SOME TO ETERNAL CONDEMNATION. BUT THERE IS NO CONDEMNATION TO THOSE WHO ARE IN CHRIST JESUS. IF YOU CONFESS THAT JESUS CHRIST IS LORD WITH YOUR MOUTH AND BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART YOU SHALL BE SAVED, EVEN CALLED THE CHILDREN OF GOD. BLESSED ARE THEY THAT WALK IN THE COUNSEL OF THE GODLY. THEY SHALL DWELL IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD FOREVER. FOR CHRIST SAID, "I GO TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU, THAT WHERE I AM THERE YOU MAY BE ALSO. IN MY FATHERS HOUSE ARE MANY MANSIONS IF IT WERE NOT SO I WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU. PEACE I GIVE TO YOU, NOT AS THE WORLD GIVES DO I GIVE TO YOU. I AM THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. NO MAN COMES TO THE FATHER BUT BY ME. LOVE ANOTHER EVEN AS I LOVE YOU. I WILL COME AGAIN AND RECEIVE YOU UNTO MYSELF. LOOK UP FOR YOUR REDEMTION DRAWS NIGH."

Praise God that Jesus said he was the same yesterday, today and forever...he has not left a void but rather fills the void and emptyness of the soul,his life was poured out for all as the perfect sacrifice that we may have eternal life through his shed blood.Anonymous Guest 28 Sep 2006

Lean on, Trust in, and be Confindent in the Lord with all you heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know, and recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths. ---Proverbs 3:5-6 Jesus said, Go; it shall be done for you as you have believed. --Mathew 8:13 Here's a simple fact I've learned....and try to apply to my life.... "positive minds produce positive lives; but negative minds produce a negative life! Remove the Bondage; the Chains that imprison your mind....do not allow your hearts or minds to have a wilderness mentality! Great God....I Pray; help me cast off the wlderness mentality. Help me take on the Promised-Land mentality and live in victory, through Jesus Christ. Amen. "Battlefield of the Mind" by Joyce Meyer..... Very Helpful to me....I Pray it feeds your soul...

Christine this image is so powerful and sobering it reflects what the book of Isaiah describes about The Son of God.What Amazing Love God has for mankind to offer His Life as The Sacrifice!!!!!!! Isaiah 53:5 "But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."(KJV) He is Risen!!!!!!!
