The Next Chapter!

In one day my life will change, I will be graduating high school. It will be a new beginning to the next temporary chapter in my life. I have had several other new beginnings in my life, such as when I was 10, years old and I gave my life to Jesus Christ. That day I started a chapter in my life that will go on for eternity. I will carry on writing that chapter long after my physical body is dead and my spiritual body is in the presence God.
Everybody is writing a spiritual chapter that will be written for eternity. Are you writing your chapter over your love for God or are you writing a chapter on wickedness and a love for the World? Think about that question as you keep reading.
The 1st of the 10 commandments says, "you shall have no other God's before me." This is simple, do you believe in any other god's other and the one true God? Such as Buddha, Islam, and Hindu? If you do believe in any other god than the Lord, then you ARE NOT a Christian. There is only ONE GOD!!
The 2nd of the 10 commandments says, "you shall not make for yourself an idol." How many of you have placed something in front of God? Is there something you believe to be more important than him? How about money, is money what you focus on all the time? How can you be the best Christian you can be if there is something that is more important in you life other than God? Just something to think about.
The 3rd of the 10 commandments says "you shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name." Do you misuse the Lords name? Do you think that it is okay so say his name in that way?
The 6th of the 10 commandments says "you shall not murder." Well I would hope most of you have not killed anybody, but did you know that saying you hate somebody is just has bad as killing somebody? In 1 John 3:15 it says "Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life in him.
The 7th of the 10 commandments says "you shall not commit adultery." You say well I have never cheated on my spouse or I have never had premarital sex so I have not committed adultery. Did you know that just lusting over a man or woman you have just committed adultery? Matthew 5:28 says, "But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery." So have you changed your mind? Have you committed adultery?
Are you thinking, have I committed any of these sins? Well I have good news for you. Did you know that if you repent of your sins (to make a complete change) God will forgive you? If you are not a Christian you just have to ask Jesus Christ into your heart. Cry out to him and ask him to take control of your life! Do not live another minute of uncertainty. Is your chapter writing about you living for God or is it writing about you living like the world. Will you be writing your spiritual chapter in Heaven or will it be in Hell? Gods love for you is indescribable. All you need to do is open your heart and let God come into it. Let him shine is light on you so you can see clearly. I know if you let him in your life could be so much happier.

  1. Danny I am seeing you turn into a very Godly man before my eyes and all I can do is shed tears of true JOY. You are beginning another chapter and it is obvious God is guiding you in this chapter. This certainly should make us all think about who we are living for in this world. I am so very proud of you and love you deeply.
