I will share about Christian books I have read or listened to.
I will be sharing about my life before and after Christ. I will include stories about my pet and other pets I have encountered.
Merry Christmas!
Sorry so late today.
Jesus was born so that men no more may die.
The reason is that he was born to die on the cross.
In his death he would take on a debt he did not owe.
And paid for the debt that we could never pay.
Salvation is a turning away from sin in our lives.
We need to confess our sin and proclaim the grace (free gift) of Jesus with his work on the cross. Not only should he be our Savior but he needs to be our Lord so that when we put of the old man, we can take on Jesus righteousness. Are we perfect? No, that is why we must confess any time we deviate from his will for us.
I need to surrender more of me to my Lord daily. It is the only way I will be more like Jesus.
Luke 16
“And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods. And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.

And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore. And the Lord commended the unjust steward, because he had ...
My True Identity
John 1:12 says, “Yet to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God.”
Many of us define ourselves by what we do. You might be a teacher, or a firefighter, or an accountant—“that’s who I am." But God’s plans often lead us outside of the very things we believe define us.
Our ultimate defining identities are not in what we do, but in who we are: children of God. It sounds simple, but it’s a deeply profound truth.
Receiving Jesus and identifying as a child of God isn’t passive. It’s not just slapping on a name tag and continuing life as usual. Taking on that identity is a daily, active decision. It means fully accepting Jesus’ love, authority, and call on our lives.
He gives us the freedom to live beyond labels, past wounds, and even seemingly good things that can hold us physically or emotionally captive. He breaks the chains of people living in poverty, addiction, or grief.
