Dear All,

It's almost 1PM I worked last night, and will work again tonight, I should be asleep by now, but I can't go to sleep. I felt God is leading me to write to y'all.

I was reading a book, Extreme Devotion by the Voice of the Martyrs. I was reading Rachel Scott's story, the Columbine High School student who was killed at her school. On her journal, she wrote... "I lost all my friends at school. Now that I've begun to 'walk my talk,' they make fun of me. I am not going to hide the light that God has put into me. If I have to sacrifice everything, I will." A year later, one gunman asked her if she still believed in God. She looked at him and said yes, she still believed. He asked her why, but he didn't let her answer before killing her.

How are we right now? How's our relationship with Christ? Some of us are just happy to be saved and then will just go on do our own thing. Don't be slacking now! Strive to be just like Jesus! He should be our standard!!!

NO COMPROMISE!!

From Extreme Devotion... I read... "Compromise takes a steady toll and weakens our desire and ability to be committed. In the same way, the believer's commitment to Christ must exact a price in order to maintain its value. We must prepare for the test of our commitment by daily affirming that Christianity is worth it. It's worth spending our time in daily prayer. It's worth gathering for worship at church. It's worth enduring hardship and trial, abuse, and even arrest for the previlege of maintaining our commitment without compromise."

Let us ask God for forgiveness. Recommit our lives to Him.

If you have not committed your life to Jesus, and if you want to know how, leave a note, or you can call 1-888-NEED-HIM

I love you all!



In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
Matthew 5:16

He who overcomes will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out his name from the book of life, but will acknowledge his name before my Father and his angels.
Revelation 3:5

So, because you are lukewarm--neither hot nor cold--I am about to spit you out of my mouth.
Revelation 3:16

Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.
Revelation 3:20
(note, this was spoken to the Church in Laodicea, imagine, Jesus, outside the CHURCH? We are His church, let us let Jesus in!)


NO MORE COMPROMISE!!!
