Good Friday


Thank You, Lord, for suffering the torture and death that you suffered for every person on earth for all time. You took our place and may we always remember what you sacrificed and be grateful. We don't deserve it, we deserve death instead, but, in your great mercy and love, you took our punishment. Praise Your Great Name!

Very soon we all must choose: life or death, blessing or cursing - which will it be? Jesus said, "He that is not with Me is against Me..." in Matthew 12:30. So which will we choose?

It makes me weep when I come across a young person, perhaps my son's age, whose eyes glaze over when I mention Jesus or God. I want to shake them and yell, "WAKE UP!" I long for them to get serious about th...
