A Monkey? No, a Love Story-Part ll

If you haven't read "A Monkey? No, a Love Story" then this post might not mean much to you, but if you have read it, I think this will be an extra special blessing as it has been to us today. This morning we received the news that Gladys husband, Frank, joined her in Heaven! Last Friday Daryl and I went to see Frank and Gladys at their home. Gladys was obviously close to entering the joys of Heaven. We enjoyed Frank's company and had a wonderful time as he shared his life with us and showed us around his house. He seemed so spry and full of life. Gladys went home to be with the Lord on Saturday evening. Frank was in church on Sunday morning. Since losing Gladys, Frank's health rapidly declined, and he cried out for his lost companion whenever he awakened--he really didn't want to live without her. Frank and Gladys are now enjoying perfect health in their new bodies in Heaven. God's timing is always perfect! Tomorrow my husband will perform his first funeral since becoming pastor of First Baptist Church of Twentynine Palms--a double funeral--for a sweet, loving couple who were constant companions in life and now enjoying Heaven for eternity!

The Most Important Thing You Can Know!

Do you know where you will spend eternity one day? If not, here's how you can know:

1. Romans 3:23 says, "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." The Bible says we are all sinners. Sin is hereditary--we were all born sinners because Adam and Eve disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden.
2. Romans 6:23 says, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." A wage is a payment. We must pay for our sins and they way we pay is by death. Everyone is born once, and everyone must die once. But the story doesn't end there--Jesus, God's only Son died on the cross for our sin and paid the penalty for us. All we have to do accept the gift of salvation. We can't work for it, go to church for it, or be good for it. Faith in Christ alone is what will save us.
3. Romans 10:9 says, "But if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." If you know that you are a sinner and that Jesus died on the cross, was buried, and resurrected--and if you know that He did that for YOU, all you have to do is ask Him to come into your heart and save you.
4. If you would like to accept Christ, just ask him now--it's the difference between Heaven and Hell.
