Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling, Calling for you and for me; See on the portals He's waiting and watching, Watching for you and for me. Come home, Come home, Ye who are weary, come home, Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling, Calling, O sinner come home. Hymn by Will L. Thompson (1847-1909) ~ verse 1 and chorus. Will Thompson was a very successful song writer, worth millions. Then he walked away from the publishers and took an upright piano; Traveling from hamlet to village he sang to the common people who would never hear an highpowered evangelist or famous singer. Sort of reminds me of Jesus, who left the splendor of Heaven to lay down His life for you and me. Will could have made more money and Jesus would have still been the King of Glory; But for the saving of man's soul they each chose to pay a price. Admission is free, your ticket is paid. Come home. |

Can it be that simple? Matthew 11:28-30 Come unto me, all ye that are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls... John :12 But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name. Let's get personal. enter your name in the blanks. John 3:16-18 For God so loved , that He gave His only begotten Son, that believing in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn ; but that through Him might be saved. believing on Him is not condemned: but believing not is condemned already, because has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Do you believe? If you believe Jesus is Christ and that God has raised him from the dead you are but a prayer away from salvation. It is this simple: Romans 10:9,10&13 ..if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and hath believed in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salation. .............For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. If sin has a grip on your life and you cannot see how you can ever be free Get a grip on this: 1John 3:8 ..........?for this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Paul was instructing a young pastor in holy living and I pass his advice on to you: 2Timothy 2: 15...22 Study to show thyself approved unto God, ...... Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness.............. Sample prayer: Father, forgive my unbelief I pray. I acknowledge Jesus as Your Son and my personal Savior. Jesus, wash my sins away this day and teach me your ways I pray. Amen |
