I borrowed this from a facebook friend..I thought it was great and I hope you all enjoy it!
Hebrews 10:26- If we go on sinning after we have learned the truth, no sacrifice can take away our sins.
Christians are famous for making up excuses for their actions. Once they have committed a sin, there are so many justifications for what they did, even when they KNOW it was wrong. We have no excuses, we are taught in church, bible study, school, or whereva, so many things. Especially in church, so therefore we know what is right! As mature Christians we should stop making excuses, admit our wrongs, pray for forgiveness, and move on.
The bible says no sacrifice can take away our sins, so that means their will be no excuses once we have learned the truth. So many people are so quick to say, "Oh i didn't know this or that was bad." the bible says that the laws of God are written on our hearts. Thats why when we go into a store and take something without paying for it we automatically know it is wrong, and we feel convicted right away. We don't have to read a sing that says NO STEALING, or PLEASE PAY FOR THAT! It is an automatic reaction.
God wants us to stop doing what we know is wrong. Trust me i know, because i have been their before. I use to do what was wrong willingly, and always make excuses, but as i began to grow in Christ, i realized that i needed to stop before it was to late.
God always gives us warnings or ways out of our mess. Now if we take heed to the warning or take the way out is a different story. Many times we try to ignore the warnings that we need to stop, especially when we know that what we are doing is wrong.
When we walk in God's will and do what he wants us to do, letting him have COMPLETE control, we will began to feel his love like never before and see his blessings. I thank God for what he is doing in my life and in the lives of everyone else.

So I was at a prayer breakfast this morning and something the minister said kind of struck me the wrong way.. He said, "It doesn't matter if you drink 40 gallons of liquor, God still loves you and knows your heart..you will still be saved."
Does that make any sense? Don't we die to our flesh daily, isn't salvation so that we would turn away from our sins and sin no more? How can you have true salvation without true repentence? Why then, would it be necesary for someone to recommit or rededicate their lives to Christ? Does this mean that if I 'got saved', but three years from now I'm out there doing any and everything that when I gave my life to Christ 3 years prior to he will overlook all of the sin that I committed even though I never repented of it? I know that God knows our hearts...but there always comes a choice to when you can chose to not sin.
Any and all comments are welcome. Thanks!

| SO yea, I got back from New Orleans a couple weeks ago. But, after 2 break downs and a 30 hour bus ride home I don't think I EVER want to see the inside of a bus for a very, very, very, very long time. Praise the Lord for patience and a SOUND MIND! :)
