OK, now that I have your attention here's the deal. When a person accepts Christ in their heart they become a new creation in Christ. The old man (or woman) dies. Because of Christ's personal sacrifice my past is forgotten and I can start over. We are forgiven because of God's grace and that alone, not because of anything we do.
"For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin"— Romans 6:6"Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory." Romans 8:17


I am concerned about the next election. Time will tell if we will get a leader or yet another politician. Then again one can be a leader, but how will they lead? Are they: Conservative? Liberal? Too far right? Too far left? Pro-Life? Pro-Choice? For gay rights? Pro family values? What exactly is a dedicated leader? Dedicated to their private agenda? Mankind thinks they have all the answers but they are so often led by their own ambitions."For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's sight. As it is written: He catches the wise in their craftiness; and again, The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile."1 Corinthians 3:19-20
We should seek God for wisdom, if we do he will give it to us (this is a promise from Him).
"If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does." James 5-8

I have not felt very good for a few weeks now. I went to the doctor today and he gave me some meds. Hopefully I will be better soon and get back to this blog. I'll talk to you again soon.
