I Believe In Christ



Simon Dewey Is One Of My Favorite Artists!
One Has Only To Look At His Paintings To Understand Why...

This past weekend, I've been contemplating Jesus Christ, His Mortality, His Example, His Teachings, His Compassion, His Miracles, His Sacrifice, His Love, His Mission, His Humility, His Willingness, His Divinity & Nobility!

When I think of Him, I marvel at His great Love for you, for me, for all Mankind! Since childhood, I have Believed in God Almighty, in His Great Plan of Salvation and in His Son, even Jesus Christ.

These past 47 years, the world has changed so very much!
Values and Standards have been replaced.
Wars and rumors of War rage on.
Communities are impacted by hate, intolerance, violence, corruption and evil.
Some say there is no God!

I am reminded of the teachings of Paul,
"Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal,
The Lord knoweth them that are his.
And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity."
(2 Timothy 2:19)


"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud,
blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy.
Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce,
despisers of those that are good.
Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof...
...Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth."
(2 Timothy 3:1-5,7)


I Believe In Christ!
I Believe That He Once Lived As A Mortal Man.
I Believe That He Taught Us The Way Back To Our Heavenly Home.
I Believe That He Loved Unconditionally.
I Believe That He Suffered In Gethsemane For You & I.
I Believe He Was Crucified & Willingly Gave Up His Life.
I Believe He Rose From The Tomb On That 1st Easter Morn.
He Is Risen!
He Is My Personal Savior! My Heart Is Full Of Gratitude! I Believe In Christ!
