Why Should GOD Be Praised?

Because we, all homo-sapiens, were created to Worship God.

From the Holy Bible we learn that we are to Worship the ONE and only true God  who calls Himself, Jehovah, is a jealous God.

No one in this day and age Preaches real “Hell Fire and Brimstone”.  It seems as though that everything is sugar coated so it is easier to swallow.  The media is now instantaneous around the world.  Some will say that we don’t need to know what the Bible or Jesus taught because that’s so outdated.  However, because we have gotten away from Worshiping God and have put other gods before us, like the pursuit of money, lusting after “things” and “stuff” and our neighbors’ wife…. It needs to be said that there is life after death and for some… it will not be pleasant.

Dear people-all who read this blog- Hell is a very real place.  No one is ever given a second chance…It is appointed to man, Once to Die….  Why take a chance?  Why be stupid?  Why NOT accept Jesus into your life today???
My mother, bless her, always used to say, “Better safe than sorry.”  Isn’t it better to welcome Jesus into your heart (the very center of your being) than to “take a chance”?  Just as much as HELL is a very real place….so is HEAVEN.  Much is said in the Bible about both places.
If it is in your heart right now, it is because you are being convinced and convicted of the sin in your life.  Jesus, 100% God and 100% Man, came to this world to die for you and me.  He left Heaven to come here to this earth to be born as a human, to walk this planet as a man, to endure all the same thoughts, emotions and feelings that you and I do.  HE, JESUS, was without sin….HE did not sin… BUT… HE took upon Himself all your sin.  When He hung on the cross, He took your sin with Him and died for you.  The Heavenly Father loved His Son, Jesus but had to turn His Back on Jesus when He was hanging on the cross, dieing…..because HE could not stand to see SIN.  Just as Jesus was dieing, he proclaimed, “It is finished”.   No more sacrifice for the sin of the world, yours and mine, would ever again need to be made.  HE, Jesus, Paid IT ALL.  So, when you accept Jesus into your life as your personal Savior, do it with a clear mind.  Say a simple prayer, perhaps like this:
     Heavenly Father, I know I’m a sinner.  I want to accept Jesus into my heart right now and believe that the blood that Jesus shed on the cross was for my forgiveness. Make me a new person.  I believe that You, Jesus, are the Son of God and that You died for me.  I renounce the works of the devil in my life and thank You for loving me so much that You died for me.  Right now I receive You as my Savior and want You to be Lord of my life.  I pray this in Jesus’ Name.  AMEN

If you just prayed that prayer, congratulations!  You are born again, a “new Creature in Christ….old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”

Beginning now….you have a new life in JESUS to look forward to.
Start by looking for a church in your community that preaches and teaches God’s Word…the Holy Bible.  Then get involved with the people of that church.  Read your Bible everyday.  {how do I know you have one?  If you don’t, e-mail me and I’ll send you one.}  Pray, talk to God, everyday.

Let me know that you’ve accepted Jesus and I will help you to learn more about HIM.
God Bless You REAL Good.

Well said, Pastor Jerry. It is such a simple prayer, but with it comes transformation. Turning to Revelations 21:5 (NIV): Behold, I make all things new.

Wow, that is the Jesus sitting on the throne, and we experience that newness now! Praise God
