SUNDAY EDITORIAL

Good Morning! Take a few moments and look around you. We do have so much to be thankful for don't we. We are blessed right, blessed going out and blessed going in. And of course we are blessed to be saved, right?

We are saved aren't we? We have been Baptised, we take communion, we are trying to live better, we pray. Right? Wrong none of those things makes one saved. We can be dipped in the water all the time, we can take communion, we can do good, and we can pray. That does not save you one bit.

God knows our hearts, and it is only by being born again that we are saved, 2 Corinthians 5:17. He comes to you through the power of the Holy Spirit and creates within you a right spirit, Psalm 51:10. The Bible tells us in Hebrews 3:7 'Today, if ye hear His voice.' and Romans 8 verses 1-6, 8 & 9 teaches us if we are not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His. Verse 16 tells us 'the Spirit itself beareth witness with our Spirit, that we are the children of God. We just love all these promises that He has given us.

Being good just does not cut it when it is all you are doing. Having fellowship with others, going through the motions of acting like you are a Christian does not cut it. And if you look around and see much you are not blessed if you are still lost and do not have a personal relationship with the Lord. Why, because all those material things around you will not leave here with you. The only thing you will take with you when you leave this earth is your soul. Ponder on that a bit.

God's blessings to each of you,
