No More & No Less

No more no less

Exodus 30:15 -"The Rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give
less than half a shekel, when they give an offering unto the Lord, to
make an atonement for your souls"

God is not out to oust us. Believe it or not, hell was not made for
humanity. It is his will that none, NO ONE, should perish. It is when we
surrender to his will of atonement for mankind, that we can lay claim
to the result of salvation.

God is the same, yesterday, today, and tomorrow- his principles do not
change. Even in the old testament He wanted to ensure a level ground for
all to afford atonement. With the sacrifice of His earthly form, he
reconciled the world to himself, leveled the field, and made the
acceptance of atonement through grace, without excuse.
The rich can not buy their way in, and the poor are not an exception.
Everyone must begin their journey of salvation the same place- at the
foot of the cross. The price has been paid.
Nothing on your part is left to do, but believe and walk in that
belief;

So if you believe 1 Corinthians 15:3-4
"...Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures,and that he was
buried, and that he rose again according to the scriptures"
Then your response, like that of the huge crowd that Peter expounded the
gospel to, must be, "what must I do?"

Peter under God's inspiration replied : Acts 2:38
"Repent, and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for
the remission of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy
Spirit"
No More and No Less than the greatest or the least of us.
-Chantel

"Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in good
health, even as thy soul continually prospers" 1 John 3:2

Mission: Christmas Blessing

Peace & love everybody! I've been so excited it's been hard to contain myself regarding today's mission! I hope that after reading this post, you'll be as encouraged as I am now! Known by most today as "the last Stalinist country" and according to VOM, "one of the most repressive and isolated regimes in the world", North Korea needs our prayers, monetary support, and volunteers. It's even being reported that a holocaust is occurring there as I'm writing this! Christians are being tortured, killed, and having "experiments" run on them all because they testify that Jesus is their Lord. Read a short synopsis of what Persecution.com has to say about North Korea and check out their related links. Thanks to our family over at The Voice of the Martyrs, we will be able to encourage and support our North Korean brothers and sisters! With our donations of $50 we will be able to sponsor a package that will have hard-to-get essentials,

child logic: waitress vs. God

That sounds like something my 6 year old would say! Malachi 3:10-12 (King James Version) 10Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. 11And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts. 12And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.

Earnestly contend for the Faith: Jude

Today's passage is Revelation 18-22, but here I am one book behind in Jude. I just wanted to spend some time in this one chaptered book. I love that the Word of God is LIVELY and ACTIVE, and, though never changing, it is always revealing. I got stuck on Jude verse 3. The words EARNESTLY and CONTEND, made me think, wow, we have to put up a fight for this thing. I read, and scribbled in my notebook as I went through. Here is what I wrote:
