Growing Wisdom: Welcome!

Welcome!

If you know me at all, you know that I love quotes. However, I don't just like any ole quotes. I like quotes that have meaning and are life-changing. Most of all, I like quotes that teach us about our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and the glorious plan that He has for our lives. Each day, I plan to post a quote that has a special meaning to me, and I pray they will have a special meaning to you, as well.

I have entitled this blog "Growing Wisdom" because my prayer is that, as my collection of quotes grows, my readers will grow in wisdom and knowledge, as well. There truly is nothing like learning from those who have gone before us. And I do believe that is exactly how God intended it to be.

Say an Everlasting "Yes!" to Jesus Today.

My main goal for this blog is to see those who do not know Jesus Christ as Lord to come to know Him before it is eternally too late for them. If you do not know Him personally, listen closely.

I often say that the ultimate reality of life is this: God created, I sinned against Him, and then Jesus Christ saved my sorry soul. If you are here today and think you do not need to be saved, you are sadly mistaken. Adrian Rogers said, "There is no one so good that he need not be saved; and there is no one so bad that he cannot be saved."

The Bible says in Romans 3:23 that "all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." If you have ever lied, stolen, or taken God's name in vain, you are guilty of sinning against the most high God. But it does not stop at that. Jesus said that even if we look with lust at another person, we have committed adultery in our heart--God even sees what others cannot. God is a holy and righteous Judge and will not let any who are guilty enter His Kingdom of Heaven.

This means that, if you have broken God's holy Law even once, you will be in big trouble come Judgment Day. However, two thousand years ago God made provision for you and me when He sent His one and only Son, Jesus Christ, to be born of a virgin and later die on an old, rugged cross for all the sins of the world. Friend, not only were you on His mind that day, but He was in your place.

Jesus died so that you may be set free--He took your punishment so that you would not have to. And if you will turn from your sin and trust in Christ alone to save you, He will save you today and keep you saved forever. So please say "no" to sin and an everlasting "yes" to Jesus, today!
