  • Rescued Wretch

    Romans 7

    15
    In fact, I don't understand why I act the way I do. I don't do what I know is right. I do the things I hate. 16Although I don't do what I know is right, I agree that the Law is good. 17So I am not the one doing these evil things. The sin that lives in me is what does them.

        18I know that my selfish desires won't let me do anything that is good. Even when I want to do right, I cannot. 19Instead of doing what I know is right, I do wrong. 20And so, if I don't do what I know is right, I am no longer the one doing these evil things. The sin that lives in me is what does them.

        21The Law has shown me that something in me keeps me from doing what I know is right. 22With my whole heart I agree with the Law of God. 23But in every part of me I discover something fighting against my mind, and it makes me a prisoner of sin that controls everything I do. 24What a miserable person I am. Who will rescue me from this body that is doomed to die? 25Thank God! Jesus Christ will rescue me.

       So with my mind I serve the Law of God, although my selfish desires make me serve the law of sin.


    Thank God I am rescued.

    I just thought I would post as God wanted to remind me of this.

  • Soo an update

    I've been thinking of how to put this for a while... and I've decided, well just screw all that.


    I'm leaving.

    I while ago I won a large chunk of $$ from the mega-millions and I've been pondering if I should tell people about it. Or what I was going to do.

    So I'm going to Japan. Going to live there for a couple years as I have always dreamed of going there.

    A few of you will get random things paid off. To the rest I'm sorry but I can't pay off everything for everyone.

    So if ya'll don't hear from me for a while at least you know kind of whats up.

    Later

  • Better than Sacrifice.

    Mark 8

    34 Jesus then told the crowd and the disciples to come closer, and he said:

       If any of you want to be my followers, you must forget about yourself. You must take up your cross and follow me. 35 If you want to save your life, you will destroy it. But if you give up your life for me and for the good news, you will save it. 36 What will you gain, if you own the whole world but destroy yourself? 37 What could you give to get back your soul?

        38 Don't be ashamed of me and my message among these unfaithful and sinful people! If you are, the Son of Man will be ashamed of you when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

    Philippians 3

     

    "When you know you're not going to make it, a wonderful thing happens: You stop being cluttered by the feeling that you're going to save your butt."

    We all die. So why do we try so hard to save ourselves ?
