White out
As I sit here and write it is snowing here in Church Hill, TN. I love the snow! Growing up in Chattanooga, we did not have a lot of snow and because of that as a thirty year old man I get really excited to see the snow now. Matter of fact I am like a little kid. When I look at the snow it reminds that God has washed us white as snow if we are saved. You ask, what in the world does that mean? That means if you are a Christian, Jesus has paid the penalty of your sin and the dirtiness of sin is no longer on you. He (Jesus) has washed your insides, that is your soul made white like the snow. The sin that once covered you is now gone. You are a different person and you are to act different. You are to act as God calls you to act. From that pointon you are to life for Christ the one who saved you until you die. Our lives are different, they have been changed just as water is changed from a liquid to solid when the temperature drops below freezing. We are still the same person physically but our heart and mind are different. Praise God that he has whited out our sin and we now have the opportunity to follow him. Trust in Jesus today and enjoy the greatness of Him just as a child enjoys to play out in the snow. God Bless.

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (II Corinthians 5:17)
This has been true in my life, when I truly started seeking after the Lord one of the first changes I noticed was when I put in a movie that I normally would love to watch. I had to turn it off, I could not watch it. I realized it was so worldly and those who love the would and the things in it can not inherit the Kingdom of Heaven.
I noticed how I think about things, my conversation, and what I do are very different now. People around me started to take notice. This is one of the ways I know that I'm born again.
Another way is that Satan has come after me like never before. This is when you have to be like Job and have your mind made up.
I Thank You Father that is in Heaven through our Lord Jesus Christ for all that you have done for me and my family. Please be patient with us, Amen.
