One of Ricky's favorite quotes is:""Scooters are dangerous!" ~Jenny "Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important." ~ C.S. Lewis "Be thou comforted, little dog, thou too in resurrection shall have a little golden tail." ~ Martin Luther (Theologian) "Blood alone moves the wheels of history." ~ Martin Luther (Theologian) "Be of sober spirit, be on the alert Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world." ~ (Apostle Peter, 1 Peter 5:8). Romans 3:23 - "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 6:23 - "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 5:8 - "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 10:9-10 - "If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation."". More about Ricky:"Well, as are you, I am a simple person in a complex world. God set the world in motion and declared it good, then came all of us simpletons, with our agendas;...Expand for more
cue complexity. I, as do you, live in a fallen world operated by fallen people, governed by a fallen angel (Lucifer). Yes, I know that sounds silly, I thought that as well. I used to laugh at Christians and their ridiculous claims and their ridiculous hypocrisy. Now, I am one. I am a hypocrite, as are you, I make claims about Christ, only now they do not seem as ridiculous. You see, my life changed in July of 1997. I went to a Christian camp called M-Fuge and realized I was surrounded with a bunch of goofy looking Christian people, who were a bunch of hypocrites, but for the first time in my life, I realized they had something clicking in their life that I did not. It was at this point I felt a deep longing for something more in life. Tears began to roll down my face and I made a quick challenge to this God they worshiped. I asked God to reveal Himself to me if He was real......cue more tears and now the feeling of power running through my body. I broke. I learned the Gospel story that day and surrendered my life to Jesus Christ. Life has never been the same. God is the Creator of the world, Jesus is His mediator to a fallen world and the Holy Spirit is the power of God that filled Jesus and now dwells inside of each of us who call upon the name of Christ (see Romans 10:9-10 above). I am still a simpleton. I am still part of a fallen world. I am still a hypocrite. However, I will go to heaven when I die. You see that's the beauty of grace.....it has no boundaries, except the ones we create. I, as do you, have pride in my life. I, as do you, have many strongholds that I have trouble releasing. Here is the deal; emptiness is the beginning of fullness. When we simply let go of our pride and our strongholds, grace enters in and life begins. It really is a beautiful story, that once seemed so foolish to me. The question I have for you is, "Will you, as have I, allow yourself to be emptied to be filled?"".
