HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAURA!

I pray you'll have a terrific day and enjoy the anniversary of your birth. I remember when you were born. I came home from school that day to find out the news and me, Jackie, Jenny, Debbie, and Kurt were so excited we could barely contain ourselves.

Happy Birthday!

Christian Inspiration

Christians do not put their faith in Supreme Court rulings but, instead, in what God tells us through the Holy Scriptures. Supreme Courts and Earthly authorities come and go but God is eternal. Here are a few examples of what Christians believe:

Ephesians 2:8, 9
It is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is a gift of God - not by works so that no one can boast.

2 Corinthians 5:19
God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them.

Romans 3:22-24
This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Jesus Christ.

1 Thessalonians 5:17
Pray continually.

Matthew 7:7
Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

Galatians 2:16
(We) know that a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ, not by observing the law, because by observing the law, no one will be justified.

Ephesians 1:4-6
For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ in accordance with his pleasure and will to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.
