Read This Book!

  I wanted to recommend the book "Christmas Jars" by Jason Wright.  This is a wonderful warm story that centers on Hope Jensen an aspiring newspaper reporter, that on one Christmas Eve was robbed and receives an annonymous Christmas gift that she is determined to discover who left her that gift.

It is only $7.95 on Amazon right now.  If you are looking for a stocking stuffer or gift with meaning i highly recommend this book.

There's Nothing Left For You To Do

I have been re-reading passages from "Living Free In Christ" by Neil Anderson.  I really needed to remind myself of everything that the Lord Jesus has already done for me, for every christian.  With all of the false teaching lately it has been very confusing for some christians, especially the "new" or "baby" christians out there.  If you are newly saved i suggest reading this book, it has been very helpful to me, along with the bible (of course).  I have been reading pages 40 & 41.  Take a look:

Many christians fear the prospect of facing an angry God.  Knowing that He is holy and we are sinful.  They haven't grasped the fact that we have already been justified.  The Greek language makes the concept of our justification very clear.  Because of the presicison of the verbs, the language is explicit in describing when something has already been done (past tense), is being done (present tense), will be done (future tense), or is a continuous action.  Romans 5:1, it clearly says we have already been justified before a Holy Father, Jesus has already paid the penalty for our sins, establishing our peace with God the Father.

When something has already been done, there is nothing left for you to do.  Many christians try desperately to become something they already are while the Bible declares that you cannot do for yourself what has already been done for you by Christ.  The enemy's lie is that you must atone for your sin by works of some kind and thereby prove your love for God.  The occult and non-christian religions teach that.

So there is nothing that we really need to do.  I love that!!!  What do you think?  Have you been believing the lie that you must do something to make up for all of the things that you have done wrong?

What the...?

I was reading one of a dozen blogs and news sites that i scan every day and came upon PJ Miller at Sola and read his post about an evangelist who tried to talk some sense into a long line of people who claim to be christians waiting to see the false teacher Todd Bentley.  Please pray for this man and anyone else who are brave enough to talk against the false teachers out there.  And pray for the people who are being led astray by these horrible men.  This is so heart breaking  more...
