Is God Real?
Look at your life. Is it real? Did Microsoft make it? Did General Motors make it? So who made you? God. As sure as you are alive, God is real.
Now look a little further. Who made the animals and other living creatures and plants on the Earth? Who made the Sun and all the other stars, planets and celestial bodies? God did.
With God, things live. Without God, things die. The first sign of something dying is a lack of growth. Life is growth. Growth is life.
God is real. God does not change. God is faithful. God is graceful. God is merciful. God gives hopes and dreams. God fulfills them. God is good. God is love. God never gives up on us.

Why Christianity?
- As a Christian, you receive and have Jesus Christ of Nazareth as your own, personal Savior for free.
- You get to go to heaven when your body dies on this earth.
- You get to be free on this planet regardless of circumstances.
- God will fight your battles for you (and win them for you) instead of you having to fight them by yourself (and losing the most important ones).
- America, the most blessed nation in the history of mankind, was founded by Christians and was set up based on Christian values.
An often asked question is:
I have many friends. All of them are good people, but not all of them are Christians. Does God want to send all non-Christians to hell?
No. God does not want anyone to go to hell. That is why He sent Jesus and let Him be the sacrifice for all of our sins. No matter what, God will not abandon or foresake anyone. However, according to His word, he will condemn people to hell as judgement for their sins. Jesus is The Way to heaven. He paid the price for all sin in full.
We believe that everyone should be free to worship in their faith as they believe. We also believe that Christianity is the only way to be completely forgiven of our sins and go to heaven when our earthly bodies die.
We believe the issue of one faith vs. another is like a math equation in God's eyes. In math, every equation has an endless number of close but incorrect solutions but for every equation, there is only one correct answer. We believe Christianity is the correct answer to the equation.

About Christ and Christianity
Jesus Christ is the Savior of the human race. His mother Mary became pregnant with Jesus though immaculate conception. Mary did not have sex with a man and was a virgin at the time that God impregnated Mary supernaturally.
Jesus Christ was born into meager circumstances - he was not born rich with money. He was born in an animal stable.
Jesus Christ was a carpenter by trade. He never had more money than He could carry but He never did without. God owns everything everywhere. Jesus Christ was God's only Son. You can imagine the privilege.
God placed all of Himself into Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ was literally God in a human body. Jesus Christ's DNA was not like ours. That is how he is able to be perfect. That is how he can supernaturally save, protect, and help us.
God let Jesus be the sacrifice for all human sin to those that accept Jesus Christ of Nazareth as their Savior. That is how much God loves us. See John 3:16 in your Bible.

Christianity
Is Basic In Theory
Christ saves
humans from eternal death by covering us with his blood as seen
through the eyes of God. Humans are sinners - we make mistakes.
God can have not part of sin or mistakes. He can not even look
at them.
Jesus Christ's
blood supernaturally covers us so God can accept us into Heaven
to be with Him for all eternity.

Practicing Christianity Can Be Quite Challenging
Pray for your enemies. Love your neighbors like you love yourself. Forgive people who have wronged you big time. Forgive yourself for your own mistakes and wrong-doing. None of that is easy.
However, with the Lord, you can do this despite what you may think and feel right now. I know this from first-hand personal experience in that I was not able to do what is described in the previous paragraph but am now able to do so in Christ.
I can personally tell you that in the past, not only did I not feel like doing any of what I mentioned in the first paragraph above, but instead felt like doing a few things I will not mention.
Nonetheless, I let the Lord get a hold of my heart and mind and spirit and the I was able to do those things and more. Praise God!!!

Christianity
Is Liberating
Jesus Christ
saving us is personally liberating - it sets us free from what
we can not change - namely our past mistakes.
We can never
change what we did or what happened to us. But Jesus Christ can
save us from that and un-shackle us from the prison of hell satan
wants us condemned to.
With Christ
we are forgiven so we can move on in our spiritual journey of
becoming what God intended each of us to be.

Christianity
Is Very Rewarding
The biggest
reward is an eternity in Heaven with God after our bodies die
on this earth. An invaluable reward of being a Christian is a
better day-to-day life while you are here.
Jesus Christ
can save you from anything you have ever done wrong. The more
wrong you have done, the more Jesus can do with you once you are
saved. His strength is made perfect in our human weakness. The
more we see of our wrongs, the more he is able to turn us into
something better.

Satan
Tries To Give Jesus A Bad Name
People have
been physically beaten "In the Name Of Jesus". At one
time, Christians were thrown into a pit with hungry lions. People
swear using Jesus name. People profess to be Christians while
obviously making the world a worse place.
That is not
Jesus my friend. That is satan getting people to use the Lord's
name in vain which is a violation of the Ten
Commandments.
Ever hear
the saying "Misery loves company"? Hell is miserable
and satan wants all the company he can get.

Meeting
Jesus For The First Time
Jesus is more
awesome than I can possibly explain. More than I can completely
understand. However, I can say what I do know about Him.
Jesus is very
polite. He will not intrude on your life unless you ask Him to. He is there all the
time. He hopes you will hear Him so you can see Him. He knocks on your door. But it is
up to you to answer.
Have you ever
heard a quiet thought in the back of your mind telling you something
contrary to bad things going on around you? That is Jesus knocking
on the door of your mind.
If you feel your heart beating faster, that's Jesus talking to you and inviting you to come meet Him. Would like to meet Jesus and receive Him into your life right now? Click here.

God
Gives Us Free Will
God let's
us make our own choices. He created us with a spirit that is meant
to be free. That is why he has so greatly blessed America and
Christians. Americans worship God.
All people
crave freedom. God made all humans that way, not just Americans.
God wants everyone to choose Him but gives each of us the freedom
to choose otherwise.
He IS God.
Why should he chase after us? God is no respecter of humans. The
choice is ours alone.

God Gives Us
Advice
God gave us
the Holy Bible. It consists of The Word of God. His Word clearly
tells us everything we need to know while we are alive on Earth.
Contained
within the Holy Bible is Romans 14:11 that reads:
"As I
live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me and every tongue
shall give praise to God."
This means
that eventually, every nation and every human being will acknowlege
Him for who He is.

Jesus
Is My Best Friend And Yours
Jesus is gracious.
If you have not noticed Him, He is not upset. He just wants you
to not be lost. He wants to save you if you are lost.
Jesus just
wants to you to be saved and He wants you to have Him as your
friend so He can help you in your journey through life.
If you are
in deep need of being saved from something, no matter what it
is, no matter what you have done, Jesus is available. And Jesus
loves you inspite of your weaknesses.
In fact,
the strength of Jesus is made perfect in weakness. This may at
first sound bizzare but it is true.
Jesus responds
appropriately to your level of desiring and/or needing Him. He
is perfect.
So if you
only need Jesus a little bit in your life because your are pretty
well ok, then he is only there a little.
On the other
hand, if you have fallen off a ship in the middle of the ocean
and are about to drown, he is more available for you. And most
likely you will be calling Jesus to save you.
Jesus is unfathomable.
2
Corinthians 12:9
"My grace
is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness"

Want
Jesus Christ To Save You?
Asking Jesus
to save you is easy:
- Tell
Jesus you know that you are lost without Him
- Tell
Jesus you do not want to be lost any more
- Ask Jesus to come into your heart
- Ask Jesus to change you
- Tell God
that you accept Jesus as your Savior
- Tell Jesus you know He is Lord of All
- Let Jesus
change you for the better
- Thank Jesus for saving you.
- Turn away from your sins.
- Depend
on Jesus!
We believe
that if you say the following prayer sincerely from your heart,
then you are saved by Jesus. You are reborn. Jesus can turn you
into something new.
See: 2 Corinthians 5:17
"God.
I know without Jesus I am lost. But Father, I do not want to be
lost. I want to be saved. I accept Jesus as my Savior and The
Lord of my life. Satan and evil forces: get out of my life. I
will not serve you any longer. Jesus is my Lord. I will do my
best to repent of my sins. God I know you are now more than just
my God. Your are my Heavenly Father. I thank you so much for you
and your Son and the Holy Ghost. In Jesus Name. Amen."
Praise God and congratulations
on your decision to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. He is supernatural. He can and does perform miracles today just as He did when He walked the Earth. Jesus will never let you down!

You're
Not Perfect. You Are a Christian.
Christians
make mistakes just like everyone else. If you slip and fall, do
not despair. Go back to Jesus. Admit your wrong. Ask for forgiveness
and work on doing better. Forgive yourself so you can do better.
Be sure to forgive others so that you can be forgiven.
While being
born again is an event, being a Christian is a process that lasts
a lifetime. Read your Bible and study The Word of God until you understand it. Have faith in God and pray for Him to reveal the meaning of His Word before you read The Holy Bible. Being Christian means we try to be like Jesus and do what He did. God does not however expect you to be perfect.
You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.
