Every Knee Shall Bow

I’ve often heard people say, your faith thing is o.k. for you but I can do it on my own, I don’t need a god.

 

Romans 14:7-12

New Living Translation (NLT)

7 For we don’t live for ourselves or die for ourselves. 8 If we live, it’s to honor the Lord. And if we die, it’s to honor the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. 9Christ died and rose again for this very purpose—to be Lord both of the living and of the dead. 10 So why do you condemn another believer[a]? Why do you look down on another believer? Remember, we will all stand before the judgment seat of God. 11 For the Scriptures say,   “‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord,
   ‘every knee will bend to me,
      and every tongue will confess and give praise to God.[b]’”

 12 Yes, each of us will give a personal account to God. 

 

A simple thought to start your weekend.  As we prepare to celebrate the birthday of our Savior, will you bend a knee and worship and accept Him now or will you not face Him until the day of judgement and bow before the King of Kings not knowing Him at all. My friend please don’t wait until it is too late to accept Him as who He is, and has alway been.  Many do not recognize a need for God, or salvation, to them it’s all a fairy tale, my heart aches for the surprise those people have in store when it becomes a full reality to them.  I do not wish for anyone ot be caught by that surprise.

 

 

I awoke during the night and read an article about all t his stuff going back and forth about Tim Tebow.  To my delight their were 365 responses to this article and the vast majority supported his open stance on his faith.  The few that were counter to that were the people described above, people afraid of the name Jesus.  If you are denying Him, you should be afraid, the consequences fo life lived apart from Him is too awful to imagine.  As Christmas approaches I beg you please make this your first real Christmas, meet the Man, Jesus!

 

I’m off to Atlanta for weekend photojournalism conference and will not return till Sunday.  I pray you have a blessed weekend and will start to feel the Christmas spirit welling up in you each day.  If you know a friend that doesn’t know Christ, this would be the perfect time to introduce them!

 

Merry Christmas.

    This is really uplfntiig *sigh* I dont like that I have this problem and I try to keep things in perspective because I know the world doesn’t revovle around myself but at times I just get the feeling that everyone is looking at me and judging me for my every mistake, it makes it hard to even interact with people without being even in the least anxious. This is uplfntiig though and I will def turn my problems to the Lord because at this point he is the only one that can help me. Thanks for the post and your helping people like us by just talking about your situations and giving us all courage.
