 ARE YOU LOST?
DO YOU NEED
HELP?
DO YOU WANT
A BETTER LIFE THAN YOU ARE NOW LIVING?
It can happen for you! It is available for you!
 SALVATION
No matter how bad you think you
are or how bad you think your life is...
There is Hope in Jesus Christ!
The Holy Bible (The in-errant
Word of God) says...
"For all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God,
... For the wages of sin is death, ... that if you confess with
your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God
raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. If we confess
our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins
and purify us from all unrighteousness. ... '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.'"
(Romans 3:23 / Romans 6:23 /
Romans 10:9,10 / I John 1:9 / Revelations 3:20)
From the New International Version of
the Holy Bible
Realizing that you are a sinner, and fall short of the Glory
of God, and that your sins are punishable by death (eternal
separation from God), confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord
and believe that God sent Him to take your punishment instead of
you; that God raised Jesus from the dead to overcome all of hell
and hades, and you will be saved. Now make Jesus the guest of
honor at your table of life.
The Cross of
Jesus is the bridge between man and God.
Pray from your
heart...
Heavenly Father: I'm sorry for every sin that I have committed
against you, against my family and against myself, thank you for
sending your Son to die on the cross and become the atoning
sacrifice for my sins. Thank you for paying the penalty that was
due me. I take back all the ground I have given the devil through
my rebellion and I unconditionally surrender to you Lord Jesus.
I understand that repentance means to turn away from my sins,
that is, to quit those sins and walk in newness of life through
the power of the Holy Spirit.
I choose to forgive anyone who has ever wronged me. Jesus, I
also want you to forgive them. I want to see them in heaven.
I believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and Savior of man
and that He forgives me of all my sins right now! I welcome you
into my heart as my personal Savior. Amen.
Yet to all who received Him,
to those who believed in His Name, He gave the right to become
children of God - (John 1:12).
What's Next?
"Then He said to them, 'If anyone would come after Me, he must deny
himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me.'"- (Luke 9:23).
A.) If you have a Bible believing
church, which can help you to grow spiritually, contact your
minister and inform him or her of your new, or renewed,
commitment to serve Jesus Christ. Get involved, become a part of
the solution for this sick and dying world. Ask your minister
what you can do to help the church. Join the membership and be a
voice in the church.
B.) If you don't have a church
like the one above, find one and become a part of it. Be active
and attend Bible studies as often as you can (at least once a
week).
C.) Listen to God not man. Know
what is in God's Word (The Bible) that you might do what it says.
D.) Talk with other Christians,
always measuring what they say against what you are learning in
the Word of God.
Read the
Bible!!!
Pray to God!!!
Attend your
local church!!!
Walk with the
Master and Lord Jesus Christ; God in the flesh!
In the service of Jesus Christ

Prayer of Repentance
'Heavenly Father, we
come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction
and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,'
but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual
equilibrium and inverted our values. We confess that we have ridiculed the
absolute truth of your word and called it moral pluralism. We have
endorsed perversion and called it an alternative lifestyle. We have
exploited the poor and called it the lottery. We have neglected the needy
and called it self-preservation. We have rewarded laziness and called it
welfare. We have killed our unborn an called it choice. We have shot
abortionists and called it justifiable. We have neglected to discipline
our children and called it building self esteem. We have abused power and
called it political savvy. We have coveted our neighbors' possessions and
called it ambition. We have polluted the air with profanity and
pornography and called it freedom of expression. We have ridiculed the
time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment. Search
us O God and know our hearts today; try us and see if there be some wicked
way in us; cleanse us from every sin and set up free. Guide and bless
these men and women who have been sent here by the people of Kansas, and
who have been ordained by you, to govern this great state. Grant them your
wisdom to rule and may their decisions direct us to the center of your
will. I ask it in the name of your son, the living savior, Jesus Christ.
Amen.
The above prayer was prayed by Rev. Joe Wright, senior pastor of the
Central Christian Church in Wichita, Kansas in January of 1996. It was his
opening prayer for the Kansas House of Representatives. It was a version
of a similar prayer prayed by Bob Russell at the Kentucky Governor's
Prayer Breakfast in Frankfort in 1995. |
