This is from my study bible by Max Lucado:

"What is the grace of God? The Grace of God

says you serve God because you're saved,

not in order to be saved. You love people

because you're save, and not in orde to be saved. You're

not trying to keep a legalistic system, you're responding

to a system of love and peace.

What is Grace? It's someone gives out of the

goodness of his heart , not out of the perfection of ours.

The story of grace is the good that says when

we come, he gives. That's what grace is.

Grace is a pleasent  surprise. Grace is a kind gesture. Grace

is something you did not expect. It is something you

certainly could never earn. But grace is something you'd never turn down.

You know what happens when someone sees the grace

of God? when someone really tastes the forgiving and

liberating grace of God? Someone who tastes God's grace

is the hardest worker, the most morally pure individual,

and the person most willing to forgive.

Always remember that Jesus says, 'My grace is deeper

then your sins.' "  ~ Max Lucado

This is the bible verse I have to memorize before this Friday.

"Therefore take up the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand it the evil day, and having done all to stand. Stand Therefore having girded your waist with truth,   having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith  with which you will able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God."

                       Ephesians 6:13-17

Oy Vae (Pronounced Oy Vay)! 2008 already! What do you plan to do this year?

Think about what you are reading ok. because it's the truth.

 Why do we ((sleep)) in [[church]], But stay ((awake)) through a [[2 hour movie]]?

Why is it so ((hard)) to talk about [[God]], but so ((easy)) to [[Gossip]]?

 Why are we so ((bored)) when we look at a [[Christian magazine]], but find it ((easy)) to read [[Playboy]]?

 Why is it so easy to ((ignore)) a [[Godly]] Facebook Wall Post, Yet we ((repost)) the [[nasty]] ones?

Why are ((churches)) getting [[smaller]], But ((bars and clubs)) are [[growing]]?

Think about it, are you going to repost this? Are you going to ignore it, cause you think you'll get laughed at? Would You Have Opened This if it Said.... Read This In Gods Name.

80 % of you wont repost this.

Jesus Christ said: "If you deny me in front of your friends I will deny you in front of my father."

Found this on bookworm12's blog and I agree.

This is what I got for Christmas.
