Sometimes I sit and wonder how in the world I could ever get into heaven.  I have done a lot of things wrong in my life however I do believe that Jesus died for my sins but my sins are plentiful and I have done things knowing it was wrong.  I have sought after sin.  I have broken many of God's commandments.  I have not loved God with all my heart and soul like he commands in the first commandment.  I have committed adultry. I have not loved my neighbor as myself.  All I can do is get on my knees and beg for Jesus to forgive me and ask for mercy on my soul.  How often do we tell God that we love him?  I am just as guilty as anyone when it comes to this.  God gave his only begotten son so that we may not perish but have everlasting life, what have we done for him?  I have broken God's heart so many times it is not even funny.  The Bible says to humble yourself in his presence and that is what I am trying to do here along with making a few who care to hear it humble their selves before God.  You know we have allowed prayer to be taken out of schools and most other public places.  When I went to school we always began the day with the Pledge of allegiance and with Prayer. We didn't seem to have the problems in school as we do now.  Our teachers back then didn't sleep with the students as some do now.  Where are our hearts at these days?  What was your excuse for not going to church today?  Today was the first time I have been to church in about 6 months.  I have no good excuse for not going to church in those 6 months.  I look around my town and notice that churches are no longer full.  When i was a kid I can remember churches with standing room only.  Preachers would preach the gospel and not worry about
whose toes they stepped on.  Now days preachers bore you to death almost to the point of going to sleep.  They have gotten away from "real" preaching. When I was growing up we visited on Sunday afternoons because stores were closed so we visited grandparents.  Now on Sunday we stay home or go shopping.  There is no visiting families anymore on Sunday.  There is not much worship going on anymore except for the "almighty dollar."  It's a sad world this day and time.  Where did we all go wrong?  Was it back during world war 2?  Seems the world has changed drastically since then.  The bible says that after the war of countries is the beginning of sorrows.  Was world war 2 the beginning of the end?  Has satan been loosed on the earth: for the next 1000 years. I look at all that is going on in the world today and wonder and I'm just a guilty as anyone else for not obeying the Lord our God.  Not only are most of us destroying the world we are destroying our souls.  No one comes unto God without first coming through his son Jesus Christ our savior.  Want your burdens to be lifted off of your shoulders?  Ask God to lift them off by getting on your knees and praying. The Bible says ask and you shall receive but you have to truely believe that God is there and will answer your prayer. Also it has to be God's will and not yours.  He will answer your prayer on his terms.  Now I want you all to think what God has done for you in your life and thank him.  Thank God for giving us his only son so that we may not perish but have everlasting life by believing in him.  Love the Lord Thy God with all thy Heart and All thy soul and you will find yourself obeying the rest of his commandments.  I am not judging anyone here, for I am no better than you for I too am a sinner and have a lot of guilt I have to live with.  Its God's job to judge you and me, not mine.
