Well, here we are some 6 years after my last post... WOW! God has done some amazing things in my life. He works fast, accurately, and amazingly. I have seen many miracles these past 6 years, not the least of which is my family. Those of you that know me, know what I am talking about, those that don't, perhaps one day you will. For now, I just wanted to keep my Blog spot open for future use. Blessings, one and all. GManDave.

The Roman Road

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. (Romans 1:16 NKJV) Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance? (Romans 2:4 NKJV) for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, (Romans 3:23 NKJV) But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8 NKJV) For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23 NKJV) that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Romans 10:9-10 NKJV) For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13 NKJV) Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. (II Corinthians 5:17 NKJV) And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God. (I John 5:11-13 NKJV)

I'm a sinner...

Dear God, I’m a sinner. I’m sorry for my sins. I want to turn from my sins. I believe Jesus Christ is your Son. I believe He died for my sin and that You raised Him to life. I want to trust Him as my Savior and follow Him as Lord from this day forward. Jesus, I put my trust in You and I surrender my life to You. Please come into my life and fill me with Your Holy Spirit. I pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Family Tree

How far back can YOUR family tree be traced?...

Now Jesus Himself began His ministry at about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, the son of Heli, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melchi, the son of Janna, the son of Joseph, the son of Mattathiah, the son of Amos, the son of Nahum, the son of Esli, the son of Naggai, the son of Maath, the son of Mattathiah, the son of Semei, the son of Joseph, the son of Judah, the son of Joannas, the son of Rhesa, the son of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, the son of Neri, the son of Melchi, the son of Addi, the son of Cosam, the son of Elmodam, the son of Er, the son of Jose, the son of Eliezer, the son of Jorim, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Simeon, the son of Judah, the son of Joseph, the son of Jonan, the son of Eliakim, the son of Melea, the son of Menan, the son of Mattathah, the son of Nathan, the son of David, the son of Jesse, the son of Obed, the son of Boaz, the son of Salmon, the son of Nahshon, the son of Amminadab, the son of Ram, the son of Hezron, the son of Perez, the son of Judah, the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor, the son of Serug, the son of Reu, the son of Peleg, the son of Eber, the son of Shelah, the son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech, the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalalel, the son of Cainan, the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.

INDEPENDENCE DAY!!!

Good morning American how are you? Happy independence day!!! God bless America! Oh yes, there is a God, and your not Him. Is that (Him) a sexist remark? Not at all, the English language (you know, the language that most of us were taught and actually learned in school when it wasn't Being re-designed my people that didn't care so much) uses the masculine pronoun as a gender neutral when referring to a person if the gender is not specific. You see, God is NOT male nor female. He is also not black, white, red, yellow, green, pink, blue, or any other color (not to leave any out). God is spirit; actually He is THE Spirit, THE HOLY SPIRIT. Guess what? Even if you don't want to believe in Him (you have that right in American because people, many people, died for that right - um, today celebrates that victory) you will. The question is, WHEN you believe in Him, will it be too late? You see, He IS in fact a holy God, but also a righteous God. Because of His total justice He CANNOT go against His own words; for the wages of sin is death. Well, we are souls (guess you might have thought you were a body), yes souls, and we HAVE bodies. Our body will die, but THAT is NOT the death God was talking about; He was talking about an eternal separation from Him. He also said that ALL have sinned, and fall short of His Glory. That means we all (yes even me ALL) have failed and can't be allowed into God's Presence. Well, I guess THAT is THAT! Might as well live like the devil! NO! He, God (remember God? He's the One I've been talking about) made a way; actually He made THE WAY! Well, believe it or not (you will) Jesus Christ IS The Way. Don't you see, He, Jesus, was sent (more accurately God made Himself into a human form in order to relay to us a message in a way we could understand) to pay the price for sin, for all those who would believe. THIS is what the Forth of July, INDEPENDENCE DAY (remember Independence Day? That's what this post is about), means to our founding fathers - freedom to worship our Lord Jesus Christ without the government telling us how. Pick up a historic history book (that means one written before history was edited so drastically) and you will find the truth of history; pick up a historic Bible (that would be one that aligns with the Dead Sea scrolls) and you will find THE TRUTH about God. DO NOT LET ANYONE DECEIVE YOU ANY LONGER! You have the tools to find out the truth for yourself! Seek and you will find! Seek for truth, that is what you will find, seek for a way to prove you are right in your deception, that is what you will find. DON'T let others decide your future, take charge and bend your future into something you will never regret. Independence: NOT DEPENDING ON OTHERS. It depends on YOU taking control of you own future, and not let anyone deceive you; not even yourself.

(Luke 3:23-38 NKJV)

Convicted, not Condemned.

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. (Romans 8:1, 2 NKJV)

This means that those who have accepted Christ will not be separated from Him so long as they live their lives according to Way of Christ. Before Christ or without Christ we only have the Law to live by and violation of the law in any way condemns us to separation from Christ. In Christ we have Grace and are allowed to turn to Him in "repentance" (say I'm sorry to Christ) so that the innocence of Christ might be restored to us. HE is INNOCENT thus when He died on our behalf, He took on himself the condemnation that was due us, setting us free; and restoring the innocence we were created with in The Garden; we are guilty of sin; we are sinners; we all deserve death; He has taken our place (He was executed on our behalf).

He alone is worthy, He alone is Lord.

Praise God that we now, in Christ, have a Way whereby we can spend all eternity with our Awesome Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
