Thank you Suzanne, I looked up the verse you mentioned and enjoyed reading it. There is no feeling so great as feeling the love of Jesus. I’m a Christ warrior, aka, Believer.

Im so glad church is for losers. Its taken me all my life to find it! Or i really should say that i found Jesus or i mean i surrendered to his unconditional love! Its a ardent battle this life and im so thankful i have my lord! i want to do good for him so much! i know im a miserable sinner but his love is so true! Christine i can relate to generations of my family also living without Christ. It is very painful but we as warriors have to stand like” righteous oaks”for them and help free them from this generational sin! Isaiah 61:1-4 has helped me tremendously. We know Christ is in control and he is watching over our families.He is the sovereign God! I am also thankful for Eastgate and all the comradery and love that is present there.

My favorite Grandpa died on God Friday this month. He said if he went to church, it would burn down. He was a proud WW2 veteran and also a prison guard for Charlie Manson. Grandpa had a tough exterior and a soft heart.

He was to proud and thought he would not be saved going to church or believing in Christ. There are other members of my family who use the same excuse and feel too guilty to attend a service or accept the salvation of Jesus.

I’m desperate to find a way for this group of stagnant non-Believers to find their way to Jesus. I want them to know that the price Jesus paid with his blood was more important than their big sin, or their lifetime of sins. If they would only accept his gift of life, their sins are washed away. With faith, their guilt and lifetime shame and constant depression are relieved as they accept the love of God.

If one person reads this, know that there is no sin too great to be forgiven. Accept the gift of life!

Another thought: My mother tells me, “Church is a hospital full of sick people.”

During my “younger days” in my twenties, I used to say, “Church is full of hypocrites so why would I want to attend church?”
In my mid-thirties, during my sweet grand-mother’s funeral, I realized she has something Special and I wanted it too. She loved Jesus and belonged to Him & I knew she was going to be with Him forever. Not too long after her funeral, I was invited by my inlaws to attend their church Homecoming celebration. During the sermons, I would cry because I was so overwhelmed by Jesus love and His grace for me as we would read from Romans each Sunday. How could He love me so much! Jesus filled my heart and changed me. I was baptized to symbolize this wonderful change. His amazing grace can change a Loser just like me.

Good thoughts, I am looking forward to this series. Paul is such a interesting teacher of God’s word I sometimes wonder if there were a Paul like teacher today would anyone take him serious. See you in church.

My pastor made me laugh on Easter Sunday when he welcomed all the sinners to the service. He said we’re not those small sinners who promised not to drink coffee for Lent and then had a sip, we’re really BIG sinners and we’re here because we’ve been saved. Everyone shouted with joy!
