A Better Way to Search Journals, Part II :

Yes, I'm a Christian

Yes, I'm a believer. Christian. I gave my life to Jesus Christ on Dec. 9, 1972. Now, I grew up Catholic in a Catholic family. And I love everyone in the family. I just don't agree with Catholic doctrine. As a Catholic, I used to think I was a Christian. At least, that's what I was told. Well, there were times when I felt empty, depressed. Something just was not right. The problem with the Catholic church is that it's so full of rituals, religious stuff. God wants us to have a personal relationship with him, not a bunch of silly rules and rituals. Now, the empty feeling is gone. I know Christ is with me now. And that's because someone led me to the Lord. I prayed the sinner's prayer. Did you think I did this on my own? No, I didn't.

Now, I know that there's a good chance someone reading this will know me. Like family & friends. LOL. You may wonder why I'm doing this. Going public with all this. Well, because I want to. I enjoy it. I think it helps me to express myself. Now, don't worry, there will be no last names, phone numbers, or addresses here. And I can delete something if I have to. So, it's all good! I haven't had any problems with anyone about this journal. Of course, there's stuff that I'm not going to mention here. It's personal. Private. But what I do share, it's not a problem. That's what a journal is. Sharing. And the fact that I like color! See?

One other thing, when I gave my life to God, I was 21. I'm now 54. Also, it may be that some of you didn't know that before I got saved, I was really thinking of ending my life. It was that bad. It was torment. But I'm glad I didn't. Now, I am at peace. Thank God for that.

Thanks for hearing me out. Have a good day!

Jeff

Salvation

Hi. Let me ask you something. Do you know Jesus as your Savior & Lord? The only way that you or I will make it to heaven will be by accepting Jesus into our hearts & life today. You must be born-again. It's a personal relationship with Jesus that counts. Being religious will not get you into heaven. We're all sinners. We have a sin nature. Before you can become a Christian, you have to admit that you are a sinner.

All other religions are false. Jesus is the only way, truth, life. Baptism can not save you. The Catholic Church can not save you. Only Jesus.

Pray this prayer right now:

Jesus, I admit that I am a sinner. Please come into my heart and life and save me. Be my Lord & Savior. I give my heart and life to you. I will live for you each & every day of my life. Help me to do your will. Please forgive me for the sins in my life and help me to repent and turn from my sins and turn to you. Thank you, Jesus, for saving me! I pray these things in Jesus name, Amen.

Things That Are Wrong & Sinful

Here are some things I believe are not good:

Terrorism, murder, crime, drugs, smoking, drinking, porn, homosexuality, false religions, the occult, witchcraft, profanity. Can you think of anything else?

I'm Back!

Hi! I'm back! Been some time, huh? I was off AOL for awhile. I had to access the internet using public computers. I'm back with AOL again. I have my own computer at home. Makes it nice. Please, if you're reading this Journal, leave a comment. I like reading comments. The more the better! Thanks.
