Was (and still is) He who He said He was and did He do what is reported of Him? What difference does He make in your life? Your initial decision and the choice is simple: accept Him and all […]

  While salvation is instantaneous, spiritually, when you ask Jesus into your life and to be your Lord, that’s not the end. He does ask you to come… just as you are, but He has no intention of leaving you in that condition – there IS the rest of you. What do I mean? Simply.

   “Never put off for tomorrow what you can do today.” (Thomas Jefferson) That comment was something of a hallmark as I was growing up. Not that I always heeded this, but it is a saying that tends to stay in your thoughts, many times unbidden. Actually it is sound advice because this focuses you/I
