Dear sweet non-believers,

Jesus is a great and mighty God. He was sent by the Father in heaven to bear our sins. He died on the cross and rose on the third day for all of us so that we will be able to conquer our flesh, repent of our sins and be forgiven. This letter is for anyone the gospel has been shared with but still hasn't accepted Jesus into their hearts. His invitation to enter into His glory will never fade away as long as we are all inhabiting this earth. It is uncertain how much time is left on this earth and eternal salvation is very important. Please do not wait and make your decision quickly.

You may ask yourself, why is it so important for me to accept Jesus as my lord and savior? God has more in store for you than what this world can offer you. He can fill all the holes in your heart. That is something that this world can not do. No materialistic thing is able to do what Jesus will do for you. He wants to save us all from the evils of this world and the adversary (the devil) so we can enter into his kingdom and have everlasting life.

The morals and lessons that Jesus will teach you are worth more than what this world can teach you. The world teaches us it's ok for premarital sex, it's ok to be like the Kardashians and men of dishonor. It teaches us that beauty is very important. The Bible teaches us contrary to the world. For example, God says "Favor is deceitful and beauty is vain but a woman that fears the LORD, she shall be praised" Proverbs 31:30. God wants to guide you to be the best man or woman possible. The Bible teaches us to be women and men of grace, forgiving one another, loving and kind. Not only does God desire this for us but He also wants us to be bold, confident, leaders and evangelists bringing other people to the faith and not stumbling blocks. He loves you so much and has never been far from you. He is waiting for you to answer his invitation.

Don't be frightened by this new experience. God will guide you through your journey. You can also find support through a local church but nothing is more powerful than reading the Bible and personal prayer with him. It is a marathon, not a sprint. This will be one of the hardest and best things of your life. I am not going to lie to you. We can not have the grace and mercy of our sweet God without purging sin out of our lives. You will have to sanctify yourself but trust me it is SO worth it. God wants to give you much more. The things of this world will pass away. All of the money, cars, and beauty will pass away but His words never will pass away. Jesus will purify your heart if you allow him to work on it.

Will you accept Jesus into your heart today? Will you allow him to be your lord and savior? He wants to be a guide and teacher to you. Find a Bible and uncover what he has to offer for you. If you seek him you shall find him. If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that he rose from the dead you will be saved. He is waiting on you!

Love,

A Fellow Believer

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
