The reason some people don't know for sure
if they are going to Heaven when they die
is because they just don't know.
The good news is that you can know for
sure that you are going to Heaven which is
described in the Holy Bible as a beautiful
place with no death, sorrow, sickness or
pain.
God tells us in the Holy Bible how simple
it is to be saved so that we can live
forever with Him in Heaven.
"For if you confess with your mouth Jesus
is Lord and believe in your heart that God
raised Him from the dead, you
WILL BE SAVED." (Romans 10:9)
Over 2000 years ago God came from Heaven
to earth in the person of Jesus Christ to
shed His blood and die on a cross to pay
our sin debt in full.
Jesus Christ was born in Israel
supernaturally to a virgin Jewish woman
named Mary and lived a sinless life for
thirty-three years.
At the age of thirty-three Jesus was
scourged and had a crown of thorns pressed
onto His head then Jesus was crucified.
Three days after Jesus died on a cross and
was placed in a grave Jesus rose from the
dead as Jesus said would happen before
Jesus died.
If someone tells you that they are going
to die and in three days come back to life
again and it happens then this person must
be the real deal.
Jesus Christ is the only person that ever
lived a perfect sinless life.
This is why Jesus is able to cover our
sins(misdeeds) with His own blood because
Jesus is sinless.
The Holy Bible says, "In Him(Jesus) we
have redemption through His blood, the
forgiveness of sins..." (Ephesians 1:7)
If you would like God to forgive you of
your past, present and future sins just
ask Jesus Christ to be your Lord and
Saviour.
It doesn't matter how old you are or how
many bad things that you have done in
your life including lying and stealing
all the way up to murder.
Just pray the prayer below with your
mouth and mean it from your heart and
God will hear you and save you.
Dear Jesus Christ, I want to be saved so
that I can have a home in Heaven with You
when I die. I agree with You that I am a
sinner. I believe that You love me and want
to save me. I believe that You bled and
died on the cross to pay the penalty for my
sins and that You rose from the dead.
Please forgive my sins and come into my
heart and be my Lord and Saviour. Thanks
Lord Jesus Christ for forgiving me and
saving me through Your merciful grace.
Amen.
Welcome to the family of God if you just
allowed God to save you. Now you are a real
Christian and you can know for sure that
you will live in Heaven forever when this
life comes to an end.
As a child of God we are to avoid
sin(wrongdoing), but if you do sin the
Holy Bible says, "My dear children, I
write this to you so that you will not sin.
But if anybody does sin, we have one who
speaks to the Father in our defense Jesus
Christ, the Righteous One."
Those of you that have not yet decided to
place your trust in the Lord Jesus Christ
may never get another chance to do so
because you do not know when you will die.
This means that if you die without
trusting in Jesus Christ as your Lord and
Saviour you will be forever separated from
the love of God in a place called Hell.
The Holy Bible descibes Hell as a place of
eternal torment, suffering, pain and agony
for all those who have rejected Jesus Christ.
The good news is that you can avoid Hell by
allowing Jesus Christ to save you today.
Only then will you have true peace in your
life knowing that no matter what happens you
are on your way to Heaven.
Praise the Lord!
Servant of the Lord Jesus Christ
Ronald L. Grossi
*Show this to your family and friends so
they can know that they have a choice
where they will spend eternity. Thanks!

The Death of John Paul II
John Paul II gained the whole world but
forfeited his soul. Year after year he
was the most loved and admired man in
the world. The idolatrous veneration
and adoration of this man was
unprecedented. His devotees, who are now
singing his praises, are probably
ignorant of the strong rebuke of Jesus
who said, "Woe to you when all men speak
well of you" (Luke 6:26). Had the pope
been devoted to Jesus Christ and His
Gospel of grace, he would have been
hated and persecuted by the world.
No one can judge John Paul's heart but
we are all called to judge the fruit of
our spiritual leaders. Clearly this man
was blinded by the prince of this world
and never saw the light of the gospel or
the glory of Christ. I mourn the death
of this man, not for the reason the
world mourns, but because he rejected
Jesus as God's only provision for his
sins. I also have a solemn compassion
for those who blindly followed this pope
and his man-centered religion. My heart
is painfully burdened to see so many
"professing" Christians unable to
discern truth from error and genuine
Christianity from its counterfeit.

Reminds me...I finally walked into a church this past weekend. I was
delivering this bench to this lady, and as I drove about 20 miles to
her house, I was passing by old memories of my high school days. Her
house was across from the road that took me to an old gal friend who I
had a crush on for a while. So, I'm dropping off this bench with the
ladies crazy dog threatening to bite my leg; so, I decide to see if I
can remember how to get to her parent's house. Sure enough, I found
it, but didn't have the guts to ask if they still lived there and how
Gina was doing. But, as I drove back home, the Church I went to before
I met my wife was nearby, and I thought, "I should pay it a visit."
So, one preaching was just finishing, and another was just beginning.
It was 11:00 am. I got out, went in, and decided to just study the
surroundings from the first pew I had ever sat in. Memories came back,
and my group of friends I had back then re-emerged in my mind. Except
for one, I wondered where they were. I didn't recognize anyone, I just
recognized the same....sameness...of the place. People still dressed
the same....lots of sweaters. Families, old people, and
misfits...people who have an easier time accepting God becaues of
various reasons. If you have the family and wife, it's easier to say
you've "changed your ways." Hell, sinning is down to a minimum. Old
people, their death is soon to come anyway. And, the misfits...where
anyone can fit in...but do they? This church is no different...what
was different back then were a few people...me included.
Then, I see how they try to make church "cool." They have a band and
large screens around the church, advertising some youth singers coming
to rock out on God; and, there are the people still raising their hands
in the air, showing how "close they are to God." I thought, "what
secrets are you hiding, like I was hiding back then. What dirt and
filth do you keep away from other's, feeling they will see the true you
if they only knew."
The man said, "please rise" but I refused. Everyone around me, to
their feets, and me just watching. I remembered being cast out by
these people...they didn't know they were doing it, but they were.
They had a change of guard. A New Order. And, we were the old group,
the ones they wanted to get rid of. We had personality, we had secrets
that are too easily felt, and nothing secular was going to be allowed
in. If nothing secular, that meant we were not allowed. We were told,
"change, or you won't be allowed around the kids any longer." We were
seen as damaging to the youth, when before we were..hell, I was...a
source of inspiration. If a pastor was having a sermon, it wasn't
uncommon to know the person being mentioned was me. And, I was
accepted for who I was. I smoked pot...that was ok. They accepted me.
I listened..heck, loved Prince...that's also ok. They accepted me.
Then, Bob left. He was the youth pastor at the time. He saved me.
Literally. I was his boy, and he was there to tell me it was alright.
He let me know that for once, someone wasn't going to hurt me, leave
me. He was the first one, him and his wife, that I told about the
sexual abuse I had received. (What they didn't know was that it was
still happening.) He was the first male figure in my life I felt I
could trust. My memories of him are the best ones. I just wish they
didn't end. He got a great deal...he had another calling. And, his
biggest fear....leaving me, just as I told him everyone else had or had
hurt me. I lied...maybe I felt it was the truth, but I lied. I told
him I understood, that it was alright. And, it was after that
everything went bad. New youth pastor, jealousy, banning and rules,
the group falling apart, fighting, and then I found a girlfriend...that
was the final end. I was cast out. I had sinned, and they weren't
going to accept her. If I was to come back, I would have to realize I
had sinned, ask God for forgiveness, all the while them labeling my
wife a slut. Them telling me how I was going to Hell.
Prince wasn't allowed anymore, either. All secular music wasn't
allowed played at any time whenever us kids got together.
Nope, I had to leave the church last Sunday the moment the pastor came
up and said for everyone to confess their sins at the front of the
church, and all I could think of was the sins committed by this church
on those that didn't fit their ideals of right/wrong, good/evil,
heaven/hell.
I know who God is now..and am still learning. God is in our feelings,
not in other people's words. Words get distorted too easily. People
bring their own feelings and ideas into the interpretation of what God
wants and desires. And, even in church, sometimes especially in
church, jealousy can be the strongest of sins. People who are
different are rarely ever accepted. Church is all about
conformity...and youth is all about rebellion.
