a glimpse of heaven's love

    For a real Christian, Christ isn't just part of your life, He's ALL of your life!  Our lives should never be compartmentalized--having our relationship to Christ in one compartment and the rest of our life as another compartment.  Christ is either who you are --or He's not! The difference between involvement and commitment is like a ham and eggs breakfast: the chicken was involved-–but the pig was committed! John 4:24 "God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth ." Proverbs 20:10-11 "Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the Lord.     Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure , and whether it be right ."

In John 14:6 it says, (and Jesus Christ is speaking), " I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. "  Jesus Christ is our ...
