The Gospel

If you have never believed in Jesus as your Savior I beg you to please read this post-

Every person who has ever lived and ever will live has broken the laws of God. When we break God's law we "sin" against God, who is holy and perfect.  
Click Here to read from the Bible God's laws and see for your self if you measure up to His standards. Because of your sin you cannot live with a holy God but are condemned to separation from God. The Bible says that “all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” ( Romans 3:23) and that all are therefore subject to “everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power” (2 Thessalonians 1:9).

But the good news is that God has done something about it. “For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).

Jesus Christ, the perfect, sinless, Son of God, chose to take your place and suffer the penalty of your sin, which is death and separation from God. He did this to satisfy the righteous demands of the holiness and justice of God, His Father. Jesus was the perfect sacrifice; He died on a cross, but three days after His body was buried He rose from His grave, conquering death, so that all who truly believe in Him, repent of their sin, and trust in Him are able to come back to God and live for eternity with their Creator.

Therefore: “He who believes on Him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” (John 3:18).

What a wonderful Savior—and what a wonderful salvation in Christ our Creator!

The Daughter of Destiny

As a home-schooler I have the opportunity of being able to chose some of my homework. Hurray! 
Last week my teacher (also known as my older sister) gave me the assignment of finding and memorizing a poem- I found this in a book called "Verses of Virtue."  It is rather lengthy but it is also full of beautiful concepts and ideas that are completely worth the work:

Long before the present battle

There was prophesied a day

Tinkling words, impov'rished prattle

Itching ears to hearts would sway.

In that day of broken marriage.

Femininity's demise,

Ladies lost their life and carriage.

All were "smart," but none were wise.

Rose up Mistress Amazonia

Warring women lead with mirth.

Most forgot the Pauline proverb,

"She'll be saved through childbirth."

Off to war went the daughters.

Left behind the men and babes.

Noble womanhood was slaughtered.

Craving freedom, became slaves.

Rise up Hannah - listen, here it!

Maidenhood's the royal throne,

Of those women, true of spirit,

Loving heaven, hearth, and home.

Rise up Hannah - others follow.

You will not proceed alone

And the victory's not hollow

When the truth is set in stone.

From the ashes of a culture

That knew God, but now knows none

Generations rose to prosper,

Forged by light from His true Son.

Taught at home, but raised for warfare,

Not the steel and fleshy kind,

But the battle that is more fair,

When the Spirit girds the mind.

Now there stands a breed of woman

Strong of mind and content of heart.

Cherishing the ancient virtues,

And from them will not depart:

Love of truth, and love of mother;

Purity; the Word of God;

Holiness to one another,

Homes to build, and keep, and laud.

Rise up Hannah - here's God's token,

That your youth has passed the test.

Three-fold strands will not be broken.

In thy sisters' friendship rest.

Rise up Hannah - happy sister.

Sarah's friend, Rebecca's love,

Sisters three, your God has given

Tender hearts knit from above.

Stand they now this generation

Birthed by hearts which turned to home;

Fathers who have changed direction

Mothers who no longer roam.

And the future is a bright one,

If to vision you will cleave

And will not trade God's truth for some

Mess of pottage known as ease.

Prepare to hear the heathen grumble,

Steel yourself to their complaint

Cynics moan and basely mumble

Gnash their teeth, but they will faint.

They will faint, and will not follow

For you tread the narrow road.

And in it's tread will chew and swallow

Selfish seeds unjustly sewn.

In the end, the Lord will vanquish

Vanquish them, but vindicate

All who love Christ's ancient order

And enter in the narrow gate.

Rise up Hannah - faithful daughter.

Onward Maiden to the quest.

You who called your mother blessed,

Someday shall in kind be blessed.

Rise up Hannah - to your station!

Daughter fair of destiny.

Light the path for generations.

Raise the torch of liberty
