Learning God's Lessons: Preparing for a Bake Sale

Preparing for a Bake Sale

We are starting a new Bible study soon, and in order to raise money, one of our enterprising ladies, Patrisha, came up with the idea of having a bake sale. Some of us ladies met at the church this morning and began baking our hearts out! We made chocolate chip cookies, lemon cookies, and sugar cookies rolled in pastel colored sugar. We also made cupcakes and caramel corn. The bake sale is tomorrow at 29 Palms grade school--we have a rented booth from which to sell our wares. Pray that we will sell all of our baked goods that we worked so hard on today!

Diana, our resident RVer who will be leaving us in a couple of weeks to head back to cooler weather--tears, sniff, sniff--and Patrisha on the right who is the brains behind this whole operation

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.
