Stand Up Straight: A Good Read

A couple books I've read this summer...Edith's Story by Edith Velman's and The Long Walk by Slavomir Rawicz. Both World War II non- fiction. Both amazing, stirring accounts.

A Matter of Life or Death (you just might want to read this)

Romans 3:23 All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.

Romans 6:23a For the wages of sin is death...

Titus 3:5 He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to His own mercy ...

Romans 5:8 God demonstrated His love toward us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 6:23b ...the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

First John 1:9 If we confess our sin, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sin, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Ephesians 4:22-24 put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.

Where do you stand with God? Are you still separated from Him in this life by your sin? If you are, and were to die today, you will be separated from Him for all eternity. Choose today Whom you will serve.
