Welcome.
I am not much for small talk. Let’s get right to it.
We each get to choose whether we will follow Jesus with our lives or not.
This choice is the most important choice we get to make.
Whether or not we choose to follow Jesus determines how we experience reality in the here and now, and what happens after we die.
If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9)
We are all sinners. We are born sinful. We are born only thinking about ourselves. (Feed me, change me, hold me, etc….) As we grow, we learn that there is much more going on than our own comfort. We all sin. The 10 Commandments can be looked at as a measuring stick for knowing we are sinners.
- You shall have no other gods before me.
- You shall not make or worship idols.
- You shall not misuse the name of the Lord.
- Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy.
- Honor your mother and father.
- Do not murder.
- Do not commit adultery.
- Do not steal.
- Do not lie.
- Do not covet.
Perhaps these laws don’t seem like a big deal. Jesus said if we even look at another person with lust we have committed adultery in our heart. (Matthew 5) But, even beyond that…has anything ever come between you and God? Do you give God one day a week? Respect and care for your parents? Ever stolen something or told a lie? How about wanted what another person had? We all sin and fall short of the glory of God.
Maybe you keep 9 out of the 10 commandments. James 2:10 says, “Whoever keeps the whole law but stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.”
We are all sinners. Sin separates us from God.
Jesus was sent to take our punishment of separation from God and make a way for us to be with God. For God so loved the world that he sent his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16).
He doesn’t force us to believe. We get to choose.
The lyrics to all of the WRITE OR WRONG albums are ultimately about choosing Jesus. I pray these songs bless you and help you draw closer to Jesus. You can find the songs when you click the MUSIC link above or on YouTube, Spotify and a variety of other platforms. Jesus bless you!
Delightfully His,
