The price of Christianity is NEVER cheap!
hey thanks for all the prayers for my grandmother she's doing great and got about the best report possible!
well we heard a really good sermon tonight it was about how true christianity is never cheap. and thats so true we have to totally devote our whole lives to God people of the world want to have religion in a way that is easy for them and fun and just doesnt require as much effort it amazes me that people can come up w/ crazy things to do that is supposedly "in God's plan for us" but what really amazes me more are all those people who are willing to blindly follow thesee teachings when they have a Bible and most of the time are very capable of looking things up and seeing for themselves that the things they are following are not right and they go around saying that they really belive these things but do they? do they really convince themselves that they are right? well some of them might but deep down they know that it cant be its just selfishness of their part that they dont want to give the extra of themselves to do God's will its sad what this country aas a whole is comming to people want to take God's name out of things when it was He who created our country and blessed us w/ such great opportunities we could never do it by ourselves people dont want to face the truth that they are wrong and need help ive heard a point recently that if you really think about it its kind of scary : all the great nations of the world so far such as babylon egypt assyria ect ect have had their time of glory and power but they have all fallen some now are hardly even there it seems and the us is the world power and we are going down quickly God has gotten us this far and if he wants he can bring us down tomorrow to me its sort of scary to think that one day this country will probably fall when? we dont know but the way things are going it could be soon as christians we have to trust God and count on Him to bring us through whatever happens and now im gonna put this on here its an email ive gotten several times and i think its pretty good:
