You probably fall in one of these categories or something similar:

You go to church every Sunday. You may even teach Sunday School. The rest of the week you don't give Christ a thought as you live your sin-filled life the way YOU want to live it. Just because you go to church doesn't mean you will go to heaven if Christ were to come take His believers right now. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.
~ Or Maybe ~
You went to a prayer meeting one time where the Spirit really moved. You felt the excitement and conviction of the Holy Spirit in your heart and you even walked down the aisle and repeated the words as they led you in a sinner's prayer. Christ was there with you. Problem is, you left that meeting and went right back to living the sin-filled life you had been living before that meeting and had no intention of changing.
~ Or Maybe ~
A family member or friend took you to church when you were young. You know the Bible stories and you know that Jesus died on the cross and even rose from the dead to go be in heaven. You know the teachings of Christmas and Easter. With all kinds of "head" knowledge but no "heart" knowledge, you continue living your sin-filled life.

No matter which of these categories you fit into, you live an unhappy, unfulfilled life. You feel alone. You may even be frantic. You could be worrying about where your next rent payment, electric bill payment or even meal will come from. You may be crying and stressed that you need to find a job in order to survive. Your marriage may be falling apart. Whatever the issue is in your life, you are not content. Bottom line, you are not at peace.

I'm here to tell you there is a BETTER WAY! There is HOPE for you. Just reach out and take it. Christ is waiting to forgive you of all your sins and lead you into His peace. But you must sincerely accept Him into your heart and turn from your sinful life.

You won't be perfect over night. There are not ten million rules you must follow. But you will know how to change your life as time goes on. The Holy Spirit will teach you and guide you. 

You have done things YOUR way,long enough, and look where it's gotten you. It's time to let Christ take over your life.

God WANTS to help you. The same God that hung the stars in the sky WANTS to bless you. The same God that feeds the birds WANTS to feed you if you put your trust in Him. The same God that went with Moses to Pharoah and demanded that he free the Israelites from bondage WANTS to free you from your bondage.

God has made many promises to you, if you will only trust Him. He is your strength in weak times. He is your shield against the daggers the enemy throws at you. He will protect you if you will put your faith in Him.

Jesus tells us in Matthew 11:28-30:
28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.]
29 Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle (meek) and humble (lowly) in heart, and you will find rest (relief and ease and refreshment and recreation and blessed quiet) for your souls.
30 For My yoke is wholesome (useful, good—not harsh, hard, sharp, or pressing, but comfortable, gracious, and pleasant), and My burden is light and easy to be borne.

Christ's peace is right there, waiting for you to accept it.

In Christ's Service,
