“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me [thank you]; and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me [thank you].” Galatians 2:20

“The Lord Jesus received is holiness begun. The Lord Jesus cherished is holiness advancing. The Lord Jesus counted upon as never absent would be holiness being completed.” -Hudson Taylor
“I have learned to… season my prayers with the word of God. It’s a way of talking to God in his language- speaking his dialect, using his vernacular, employing his idioms… This is not a matter simply of divine vocabulary. It’s a matter of power. When we bring God’s word directly into our praying, we are bringing God’s power into our praying. Hebrews 4:12 declares, “For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword.”God’s word is living, and so it infuses our prayers with life and vitality. God’s word is also active, injecting energy and power into our prayer.” -Joni Eareckson Tada
Welcome to the “Salvation” page. The decision you make about the following information is the most important decision you will ever make in your life.
The Bible tells us:
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23
Fortunately for us, God has provided the answer to our sin:
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16
“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”‘ John 14:6
By sending His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross, God has provided a way for us to have a relationship with Him. A relationship with God is our only way off the path of destruction and onto the path of righteousness that leads to Heaven. This relationship allows us to have the joy of the Lord in our hearts in this life “…for the joy of the LORD is your strength” Nehemiah 8:10.
In order to receive God’s grace, You must do what He instructs in Acts 16:31 “So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved…”
If you desire to become a child of God, pray a prayer similar to this one with faith in the truth of what God’s Word teaches about salvation:
Lord Jesus, I recognize that I am a sinner, incapable of saving myself. I believe that You died on the cross for my sins and rose again. I now invite You to come into my heart. I choose to follow and obey You as the Lord of my life and to turn away from my sin. I place my trust in You as my only Savior and my only way to salvation and I ask You to forgive me of my sins. Thank you, Jesus, for coming into my life and making me new. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.” John 1:12
“He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.” 1 John 5:12-13
According to God’s Word, you are now a Christian and a believer. To grow as God’s child, start by reading the Bible (begin with the book of John). Develop your personal prayer life and seek out fellowship with other believers in a Bible-teaching church.
May the Lord bless you as you go forward in your walk with Him.
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” 2 Corinthians 5:17

Galatians 5:16 “I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.”
Heavenly Father, thank you for the joy and blessing of children and grandchildren; that through intercessory prayer I can be involved in their spiritual growth and development regardless of their age or location.
I ask that every day You will help my loved ones to walk under the control of the Holy Spirit and not to fulfill the lust of the flesh. Open their eyes to see the truth in Your Word and encourage them to be willing to listen to the direction You have for them in every situation. May their life be lived for You.
If there is any sin or rebellion in their life, I pray that You would create in them a heart of repentance: the kind of heart that is humble and turned towards You.
Since not one of us can know God’s ways without reading His Word, I pray that You will give my children and grandchildren a desire and love for it (Psalm 19:7-14).
Thank you for reminding me that You want to do, and can do, far more for my family than I ever could. Therefore, I ask You to speak to them by the power of Your Holy Spirit.
I bring these requests to You in Jesus’ Name, Amen.

James 1:17 “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.”
Heavenly Father, I praise You for Your wonderful attributes such as being the Creator, all-powerful, all-knowing, everywhere present, unchanging, loving and merciful; for giving me the ability to recognize the good things coming from You: beauty, mercy, kindness, grace and love.
Thank you that You always plan whatever happens in my life for my good even when I can’t begin to comprehend the situation. “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28
Give me an understanding and appreciation of Your amazing creation. How precisely everything works together to provide not only for human beings, but for all the animals and plants of the earth.
I ask you to raise up powerful voices in our culture to speak about Your Goodness. Direct me on a daily basis to live out Your Goodness as an example to others.
Thank you for the wonderful promise in Psalm 31:19 “How great is the goodness you have stored up for those who fear you. You lavish it on those who come to you for protection, blessing them before the watching world.” (NLT)
Thank you, Lord, for your goodness.
In Jesus’ Wonderful Name, Amen.
