Thank you Lord

I find that sometimes I forget to thank God for all the little things.  The other day I received a refund from the student loan I paid off with my fwderal tax return.  It wasn't a lot but it is enough to put a tank of gas in each car.  Today I am doing feont and rear brakes on Tim Moody's car which will cover the presents for the birthday parties the girls are invited to.  God you are so faithful even when we forget to be.  Thank you Lord for you have done, all you are doing and all you will still do.  I pray I can be usefull to you in some way no matter how great or small.

Interesting conversation

I just had the opportunity to speak to some Mormons and I found myself realizing how important it is that I take the time to learn about what other reliigions believe.  I want to make sure I have the facts straight.  That said I followed their advice that if I really want to know what they believe, I checked out their website.  From reading it I found that on the surface they believe Jesus died for our sins.  Based on this, it is possible that many mormons may be saved and will see the kingdom of God.  That being said I also came across a lot of stuff that down right contradicts the Bible.  What concerns me most is their view of what it takes to get into heaven.  They have a three fold view of heaven where the top level is for those who accept Christ, repent, and live according to the commandments.  The second level is for those that except Him but do not repent or change their way of living.  The bottom level is for those that accept Christ only AFTER death.  The problem isn't that some may get saved but that they teach that repentance is not a part of salvation and that you will have a finally opportunity after death.  This view is going to doom many to eternity in Hell.   The Bible clearly teaches that man is to die once...and then judgment.  Also, we have a limited opportunity to accept the gospel here on earth.  This is just the most blatant misunderstanding of Biblical teaching.  There are many others.

Back from break.

The sermon went well and I was able to return to school a day early.  I spent the better part of the day trying to get some work finished up and get ahead in my reading.  Today school was canceled due to snow, so I am trying to get some more reading done and will be studying for my New Testament test tomorrow.  I plan to try and spend some time in the last few weeks of this quarter doing some in depth Bible study and putting tigether some sermons so that I can be prepared for future oppourtunities.

Preaching tonight.

I'm getting ready to preach in a 1/2 hour.  This is my first time preaching at a church that doesn't know me and I don't know any of them.  Lord, please be with me and use me for your glory.  In Jesus name, Amen.
