prayer

sorry i have not put up many posts up lately it has been a hard few weeks. recently a guy from my youth group who from 08-november 09 has been fighting cancer found out he again has cancer but that this time it is incurable and now today my mom was admitted to the cardiac critical care unit with severe chest pain. so if you could please pray for them and my family and church as we go though this time. I will post updates as soon as i find out more

 sincerely, Matt

how he loves us

to really understand how much god loves us we have to understand that when god sent Jesus to earth he knew he was going to die and yet he loved us so much that he sent his only son to die for us. so that those that believe in him shall never die. that those that believe in him shall be forgiven no matter what it is. he sent Jesus and let him go though the pain of being beaten and having nails put though his hands and thorns on his hands and having a spear driven though him when he could have stopped it at any time but he didn't because he wanted to show us how much he loved us and he needed someone to take away our sins and for that he chose his son he didn't chose someone else child but his own and when Jesus was breathing his last breath he asked god to forgive the men that did this to him,and with that one death all the sins of the people that beleive in jesus were forgiven.

intro

in this blog my hope is to take readers though the bible step by step there might be parts where god leads me to post something else like my first post. I also hope that the people who are not Christians that look at this blog find how loving our god is and how no matter what we do if we believe in him we are forgiven and that they discover that no ones love can compare to his. that is the reason for this blog for the mission of this blog is to bring people to Christ. that is my hope and prayer for this blog

As Christians most of us have at one time or another struggled with our faith and spending time with god. A lot of us might be busy with school, sports, and jobs. that doesn't mean we can't spend time in his presence. there are many ways to spend time in his presence it can be by listening to christian music, praying, or reading your bible or other christian book. I have found that the longer you spend the harder it is for you to stray far from gods path.everyone always says you need thirty minutes of exercise a day to stay healthy. well thirty minutes with god can make you Spiritually healthy and it doesn't matter where you are when you spend time with him or what time it is. when you spend time with him you mature in you spiritual life because when you start out you are like a baby having to be told these things by your pastor and/or youth director. when you start to read your bible a little more you are like a toddler wanting to feed yourself and people younger than you and you continue to progress till you read your bible everyday and pray everyday and spend a lot of your time with god. by then you are old and mature in your faith and one that can lead others to Christ and though the different stages of their spiritual life and though them touching others and then they will help others in their walk with Christ, and that cycle could repeat thousands of times. so you never know what one good deed can do if it will just touch that one person, or will expand to touch many others
