Things God Wants You to Know

Is there power and importance in the Blood of Jesus Christ?

Matthew 26:28

The Blood of Jesus was shed for many for the forgiveness of sins.

I John 1: 7-9

If we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another and the Blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness, guilt and shame. 

There is an old hymn that has been sung over the years and the words are, 

"Would you be free from your burden of sin, 

there is Power in the Blood, 

Power in the Blood."

Be Kind

From the book Poems From the Heart, by Marlene Wilkinson.

Be Kind

Everywhere we look there is hatred and greed, 

So many people with prideful needs. 

Think of others and be kind;

Then you will have a peaceful mind. 

It's not about always getting; 

That only brings strife and fretting. 

Don't be critical and want to control, 

But let respect for others be your goal. 

Let all nagging and harshness go. 

Instead let gentleness and peace flow. 

Yet be wise and strong too; 

Those who are honest are few. 

Let your words and thoughts be pure and clean, 

And a good example to others be seen. 

People will say, I want to be like them; 

They are such a bright, shining gem. 

I can trust what they say; 

They walk according to God's way. 

They don't swear or steal or lie; 

Their life of integrity is seen on high.

Things God Wants You to Know

Many people have questions and God wants to answer them.

Is Jesus Christ the only way to get to heaven and the only one who will forgive us of our sins? 

John 14:6

Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life and no one comes to the Father but through Me."

John 3:16

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever should believe in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 

John 10:9 

I am the Door; by Me, if any man enter in, he shall be saved. 

Romans 10:9-10

If you will say with your mouth that you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead you shall be saved. 

John 3:3

Jesus said to Nicodemus, except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God. 

John 10:10-1, 14, 27

The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy but I come so that they might have abundant life. I am the good Shepherd and I give My life for My sheep. I know My sheep and they know me. My sheep hear My voice and I know them and they follow Me. 

You must believe in Jesus to get to heaven and only He can forgive you of your sins for there is power in His shed Blood. Some people think that good works will get them to heaven, but that is not so. You must believe in Jesus Christ and repent and ask Him to forgive you. 

Where Have All the Honest People Gone?

An excerpt from my book entitled, Poems From the Heart.

Where have all the honest people gone?
Those who are full of integrity,
And their word is their word.
They have high standards and morals.
They don't cheat and lie;
They are an example to those passing by.
Their family can look up to them.
Friends and neighbours and kin.
They hold up a standard;
Stand against wrong and stand for right.
They hate injustice and injustice fight.
They are loyal friends to the very end.
They stand for God and the Bible;
They are faithful and true.
They walk tall, yet are kind and humble.
They are strong and wise
And trust in Mighty God.
We need more ones like these;
Will you be that one?
Yes, you.
