Since my last entry, I have read Deuteronomy 8:14-14:13 and John 1:43-4:17. My favorite verses are:
Deuteronomy 10:12-13 And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, 13To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?
John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
God asks us to do certain things in relation to Him—fear, love, serve, keep commandments, and believe on His Son. He says it is for our good. We will be rewarded with abundant life here and everlasting life in heaven with Him. There are also consequences for those who fail to do what God asks—they will suffer the wrath of God. The same God who gives abundant blessings to those who obey him will rain abundant wrath on those who will not obey! They will suffer in this life and spend an eternity separated from God in a fiery hell where there will be no relief even for a moment. Each of us makes a choice; God acts based on that choice. Which path have you chosen?
About Me
- Dena
- Since retiring from public school teaching, I spend more time on church and Theatre activities. My church family is at Union Ridge Baptist near Nixa. I am married to Ron Boutwell, Founder of Stained Glass Theatre. We have two dogs and four cats to keep us company! I donate blood platelets twice each month at the Community Blood Center of the Ozarks because I want to be useful to others who need help. I am involved in the ministry of Stained Glass Theatre; I began in 2009 with a role in the Christmas production then served as an understudy in THE OUTPOURING. Since then, I have appeared in several more shows. I pray that God will allow me to be used of Him and witness for Him along with the rest of the SGT Family.
