| First of all..
I would like to welcome you here. There is a point in everyone's life where we reach a barrier.. a mountain. Sometimes this barrier is the size of a brick wall, and sometimes it's as big, treacherous, and wide as the Rocky Mountains. Now chances are, someone somewhere along the road (maybe yourself) has suggested to you that you just might want to avoid going this way, but none-the-less.. you're here now. And the only thing that matters is not quitting. You can't rewind history to avoid it, you can't erase it, you can't go around it. It's blocking even your line of site. So what do you do now? Well, chances are.. you're standing way too close to the wall. You need to take several steps back. How tall is this wall, how wide? Because, from this point of view, it's going to be hard to find the best route over or through. Speaking from experience, and as a fellow Christian.. You're going to have to look on this from another point of view. Now is the time for information overload. You're going to have to dig in. Find out the truth. Find out the facts about this mountain, from the size, to the wind velocity at the peak, to which side is best to come down on. On a Sunday at my church, my pastor preached on being prepared. It's not enough to sit idle and wait on the Lord. You have to make things ready for His arrival. Abraham, in the book of Genesis, was commanded by God, "'...Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Mori'ah, and offer him there as a burnt offering upon one of the mountains of which I shall tell you,'" (Gen. 22:2). What did Abraham do? Did he refuse, and say, you're out of your mind, God? No.. he "rose early in the morning, saddled his [donkey], and took two of his young men with him, and his son Isaac; and he cut the wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him," (Gen. 22:3). He made sure he was prepared.. YOU have to make sure you are prepared.. Welcome to information overload. :-P This is a feedback oriented site. It's brand new and I'd really like to get your input on it. I started this
website because of where most of you are. I know how much work it takes to find good, helpful sites, of what you need.
Everyone's' needs are
different. If you find something on this site that is not helpful, let me know. If you find something on this site that is helpful, let me
know. The point is, you can help those who visit the site after you. It is this chance, to reach out to anyone and everyone who is in need, that
God has called us. God tells us in
It is our responsibility to see this through, whichever road it takes us. We owe it to the life that God has created, to the creator of all things who makes things new. Hold on to the foundation God has set before us, and He will see you through.. I have been a Christian all of my life. I grew up in the Methodist church in my home town, and was saved when I was 19. My relationship with Christ grew in the 2 years I chased God... words cannot explain. But even so, I still fell.. And my heart was changed. Something I wish for no one.. But something everyone needs to know. There is life after this, God still loves you. Keep pressing through and you will find the light.
