Sin / Forgiveness:
Have you ever given these two words 5 minutes of thought? What do they mean, how do they affect me, do I take these words seriously? Every man, woman, and child has committed sin every day of their life. Whether it be by thought, word, or deed we have sinned. Do you think these same people give thought and seek forgiveness for their actions? What is sin, quite simply ‘ungodly acts’. Sin is easy, it’s secretly, no one will know. What is forgiveness, confession - remorse - restoration - renewal....
IF YOU’RE NOT DEAD YOU’RE NOT DONE!
The title is a quote from Pastor David Groves in Wisconsin. When he retired from being the Chief of Police in a town in Wisconsin, as a believer in Jesus, he knew God must have something else for him to do. David and his wife prayed and thought seriously about Proverbs 16:9, “The heart of a man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.” He wondered if all the skills he had learned as he administered the police department such as good management, strategic planning, leadership and...

HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN GOD’S LOVE?
The strength of God’s love is difficult to explain. God’s love for us comes from the fact that God IS love. That is His nature. Even though God is also righteous and requires judgment for our sins, because of His innate love for all of His creation, He had to provide a way for the penalties of our sins to be paid for, so He could make us once again, righteous before Him. The only “way” that would satisfy His righteousness and judgment was if He, Himself, paid for the penalties of our sins. The...
WHO MAKES YOUR PRESENT AND FUTURE DECISIONS FOR YOU?
Who makes the decisions about your life? Do you, or do you ask God what His Will is for you? Such as: -- Your daily schedule including activities you desire -- Your living location, present or future -- The friends you choose The Book of James, chapter 4, verses 13-17 in the New Testament, talks about this. It says: “13Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” 14Why, you do not even know what will happen...
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF YOUR LIFE?
By Sharon Borror If we are focused on ourselves because of our insecurities and false pride, and we need to feel better about who we are, we’ve lost the reason for living that God has planned for us. God created us to know Him better because He loves us so much. He loves who and what He created us to be. When we say that we don’t like who we are, we’re insulting God! Getting to know God better will change us to be more like Him. God says that He wants us to live our lives for Him. He wants us...
SALVATION WITHOUT REPENTANCE?
By Sharon Borror When Jesus was on earth, He preached the message of repentance. It is the first demand of the Gospel. When the Holy Spirit draws an individual to God, the person recognizes his sin and accepts Christ as Savior and the Holy Spirit causes the spiritual rebirth of the soul. That’s called Regeneration. If there is no repentance, there is no regeneration or salvation. What does repentance mean? It means to turn from sin, to change your direction and seek a new way of life....

BIBLICAL TRUTHS TO PONDER
By Sharon Borror These are Truths that I received from the Bible through a godly teacher of the Word. Our sin affects others to sin.-- Philippians 2:4-6 says, “Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus.” We all need to have a humble attitude of repentance for our sins to be able to put our faith in what Jesus did for us on the cross by shedding His blood and dying for our sins and...
