A question or two

Recently spent some time with some relatives that we hadn't seen in years and it was really good to reconnect. Family is such a major part of our lives, and in this modern world we can live many miles and even continents apart. One can't help but wonder how the world got to this state. There are so many lost and wandering souls looking to connect with other humans. In Christ we are adopted into the family of God and share fellowship any time we run into another believer. Time seems to be short and we need to examine just how we spend it when we are with one another. Small talk is a good part of life but big talk (talk about the things of God) is eternally important. Do we know where our families and coworkers and neighbors and friends are with the Lord? It takes only a question or two to find out.

Jesus Saves!

Are you saved? You know what I mean - born again. Are you born again? There seems to be an increase of folks who think that they are saved by doing good works and attending religious services. Some think that all religions lead to the living God, but that is not true for Jesus said in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." Watch out for there are those who say they know God but they don't believe that Jesus is the son of God and they don't believe that God raised Him from the dead, and don't believe that Jesus' blood was shed to cover and forgive us our sin. In Romans 10: 10 it says, "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." In verse 13 of the same chapter it says, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." So many folks are trying to have fellowship with those who aren't walking in the light, all the while knowing that God's word says that light and dark have no fellowship. Tell them the gospel that Jesus saves and nothing or no one else can make us right with God.
