“Fill your life with service to others. As you lose your life in the service of Father in Heaven’s children, Satan’s temptations lose power in your life. Because your Father in Heaven loves you profoundly, the Atonement of Jesus Christ makes that strength possible. Isn’t it wonderful? Many of you have felt the burden of poor choices, and each of you can feel the elevating power of the Lord’s forgiveness, mercy, and strength.” FeelsChildrenChoicesFatherJesusHeavenFeltChristLosesPoorLordWonderfulLove YouJesus ChristMercyBurdenTemptationSatanAtonementService To OthersFather In HeavenElevatingPoor Choices Author:Richard G.

“God brought me to Himself at about the age of 4. My parents were devout believers and my Dad was in Bible College at the time. I remember hearing the gospel in Sunday School and I talked to my Mom about it one night before bed. It was clear to me that I was a sinner and I was not going to heaven if I died without accepting Jesus Christ and what He did on the cross for me. I was brought to Christ out of fear of going to hell. I didn't want to go there if I died and there was only one other choice in my mind as a 4 year old. I wanted to go to heaven. It was and is that simple.” IfsWantYearsMindAgeWantedSchoolRememberNightChoicesJesusHeavenParentChristSimpleAcceptingHellClearCollegeMomDadBedJesus ChristCrossesDiedMy DadMy MomHearingBelieverSinnerSundayOne NightSunday SchoolGoing To Heaven Author:Ben Zobrist

I invited Jesus Christ to be Lord of my life and made a commitment to follow Him.
