             A B Cs
       OF SALVATION

   To know God  and be
  ready for heaven, follow
  these steps:
  A. Admit you are a sinner
       "There is no one
         righteous, not even
         one...for all have
         sinned and fall short
         of the glory of God"
          (Romans 3:10,23)
   B. Believe in Jesus
      (put your trust in Him)
       as your only hope of
       salvation.
        "For God so loved the
          world that He gave His
          only Son,that whoever
          believes in Him shall not
          perish but have eternal
          life."(John 3:16)
   C. Confess that Jesus is your
        Lord!
        "If you confess with your
          mouth, 'Jesus is Lord'
          and believe in your heart
          that God raised Him from
          the dead, you will be
           saved."(Romans 10:9)
         HAVE WE DONE ENOUGH...?
      Some would say that we have done
  enough. I say a resounding "NO."
  Recent missions statistics as of 2006
  tell us the following:
       * Almost 6.6 billion people live on
         earth.
       * 1.2 billion people live on 23 cents
          a day.
       * 2 billion people have no electricity
       * 80 percent of all people live in
           substandard housing
       * 1 billion people are without safe
           drinking water
       * Every 16 seconds someone dies 
          of hunger
       * 57 million people died in 2006
       * 10.5 million of those were children
           under the age of 5
       * 14 million were orphaned because 
           of HIV/AIDS
       * 2 million children died because of
          armed conflict during the last 10 
          years
   MEANWHILE:
        * $8 billion was spent on 
           cosmetics in America in 2005
        * $11 billion was spent on ice
            cream in Europe
        * $17 billion was spent on pet food
           in the U.S. and Europe
        * $105 billion was spent on alcohol
            in Europe
    Again, have we done enough? Have 
  we given as much as we can?

     THEODORE ROOSEVELT'S ADVICE
      TO THE CRITICS:
  
    It's not the critic who counts, not the man
 who points out how the strong man 
 stumbles, or where the doer of the deeds
 could have done better. The credit belongs
  to the manwho is actually in the arena,
 whose face is marred by dust and sweat
 and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs
 and comes up short, again and again,
 because there is no effort without error
 and shortcoming. Who does actually try
 to do the deed, who knows the great
 enthusiasm, the great devotion and spends
 himself(or herself) in a worthy cause?
 Far better it is to dare mighty things to win
 glorious triumphs, even though checkered
 by failure, than to rank with those poor
 spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much
 because they live in the gray twilight that 
 knows neither victory nor defeat! 

         SUCCESS IN A SMALL CHURCH

   So this is our testimony: we found
  success in a small church that was
  not growing...In our study of the
  Scriptures, Kent and I had learned
  that we are not called to success
  but to faithfulness. We realized
  that the results are for God to  and
  eternity to reveal...
    We're not suggesting that on that
  day we had perfectly analyzed
  success and put it all together.
  But we had simply come to see
  the basic plan for biblical success.
  To the best of our ability we were
  striving:
    1. to be faithful(obedient to God's Word
        and hardworking)
    2. To serve God and others
    3. To love God
    4. To be believe He is(to believe what 
        we believe)
    5. To pray
    6. To pursue holiness
    7. To develop positive attitude
   This was our liberation and, may we
 humbly say, our success!!!
