Easter Message

-

Hello everyone. I am pretty sure this is the first blog I have written. I am not a good writer at all, but I feel like I need to share this.

As we come upon Easter, let us remember what we are celebrating. Easter is not about the eggs, the bunny, and the chocolate. It is about celebrating the price our Savior paid to save us from eternal suffering.  Jesus lived a perfect life, died on the cross to take our punishment for sin, and then rose again 3 days later. Recently, someone said that Heaven is what doesn’t make sense not Hell. This is so true. It makes perfect sense that since we are sinners, we deserve to be eternally punished in the Lake of Fire. What doesn’t make sense is that a Perfect God could love us wretched sinners so much that He gave His Son to die for us so we can go to Heaven. However, that is exactly what Jesus did. He willingly and loving went to the cross and died for us without any sign of withdraw.  And He knew exactly what would happen. This Easter, I want you all too really think about just how great Jesus’ sacrifice for us was. He didn’t need to die for us. He could have let us all perish in Hell for our sins against Him, but He didn’t. He loves us so much He made a way for us to be made right with Him. Even though we will never stop sinning in this world, God sees us Christians as righteous because of what Jesus did on that cross. I still can’t believe Jesus loves me so much he gave up His life for me and took my sins away. He loves all of and wants you to be in Heaven with Him for eternity. If you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior, you are in trouble. You are heading towards Hell. I don’t want to sugarcoat the truth. Whatever you think will save you, your good works, a list of rules you follow, nothing can save you except Jesus Christ. Only through His death and resurrection can you be saved and go to Heaven. I want to encourage you to look into your life. What are you trust in? Are you trusting in yourself? Your good deeds?  The fact that you haven’t done anything too bad? James 2:10 says, “For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.” (NIV version of the Bible) This means that even if you only tell one little “white” lie, you are guilty of breaking all of the law.  Once you realize you are a sinner and cannot do anything to save yourself, realize what Jesus did for you on the cross and how He was raised from the dead 3 days later, and repent of your sins and turn towards Jesus, you will be saved and you can know for sure that your sins are forgiven and you will go to Heaven.

Thank you so much for reading my blog and I hope you have a wonderful God filled Easter!

Gone, But Not Forgotten

-
 Hello, y'all! I feel like I always begin my blog posts with something along the lines of "long time no see'" and it is really sad to continue with this pattern. I could list a ton of excuses. Firstly, I could mention that I am now in college. Secondly, I could mention that I am working three jobs. Thirdly, I could mention that our Bible Study group has kind of fallen apart for a few reasons which I will not get all into detail about now. Fourthly, I could talk about how I do not even use Skype anymore. Fifthly, I could mention that I am personally still out there creating content on my own personal accounts.  But, here I am. Here I am making a post on a group blog account. Here I am allowing all of the audience to see that while we are gone, we are not forgotten. No, we could be forgotten about by literally every soul. But, I will not forget. During the years that I was a part of this group, I treasured every moment. It brought me joy to be a part of such a community...

Long Time No See

-
Wow, it has been a while since we have said anything here, huh? I was just taking the time to look over the blog this morning and I noticed that all of our actual "Newsletters" that we posted here were from 2019. That seems like such a long time ago. We have not posted on this blog since April of 2020. That means it has been almost a year since this blog has been regularly used.  Many of our viewers, like you, probably like that we just forgot about it, right? Like we got so busy in our regular lives that we forgot to make time to blog. Or, we were so busy in our Bible Study that we forgot we had a blog, so while there was so much that was content-worthy, there was nothing that we posted because we can't post on something we do not know exists. Sadly, neither of those are true. But, the first is the closest.  About this time last year, our group was going through some things emotionally, but once we got that all under control life got chaotic. The irony of this situation ...

YouVersion Bible App

-
Hi, Mary here! I know this is an unusual post, but I really want to talk about this app. YouVersion is a bible app if you can't tell by the title. YouVersion allows you to see what your friends have done with the app, what bible studies they are doing, and some notes they have taken if they allow you to see it. This encourages me because I like to see that I am not the only one reading my bible or learning from it. YouVersion rewards you for using the app whether from highlighting, reading the whole bible, or using there bible study suggestions. As Sabine knows, points and badges, even if they don't mean anything or aren't tangible, it motivates me. YouVersion is free and works offline. This is not rare for a bible app, but what is different about this one is because you can download every version of the bible that you want when you have internet, so you could use it when you go offline. I had a previous app that allowed you to do that with a limit. You had to pay for...
