From Gary... Who you know


OK, I have no idea what this church is, because the sign has been blurred.  However, its message is clear and worth remembering.  Not everyone will enter the Kingdom of Heaven.  You can't just believe any old thing, you need to have a relationship with Jesus.  A relationship of more than mere words; one of obedience to the teachings of God's son.  Jesus puts it this way...
Matthew, Chapter 7
 21  Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.   22  Many will tell me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?’   23  Then I will tell them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.’ 

  24  “Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house on a rock.   25  The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it didn’t fall, for it was founded on the rock.   26  Everyone who hears these words of mine, and doesn’t do them will be like a foolish man, who built his house on the sand.  27  The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.”

Simply put: Be wise, listen, learn and obey.  It is the wise thing to do!!!
