And All That Jazz...

Side Post.

I work at Sonny's BBQ. Often, with or as a tip. Customers will leave pamphlets, brochures and sometimes pictures telling me I should worship God, go to church and so on. This happens to me at least once day, more than most of my coworkers Ive noticed. I believe this is because I am gay. Anyone who knows me, knows that it isn't hard to tell.

This does not offend me. I find it encouraging. Instead of judging me, and telling themselves that I am going to hell. They feel that they are leaving me information for guidance. I think this is what God would want. They are doing what they think is right, not turning against what they think is wrong.

Today I received one, and it stuck with me. It had the usual information for the Church, the address, the Pastors name, the mission statement. It wasn't until I turned it over on the back, that I decided to keep it. The Back said the following:

You can Know That You Are For Sure Going To Heaven

First, realize God Loves You...
John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

Second, realize that everyone is a sinner...
Romans 3:23 - "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."

Third, realize sin has a price that must be paid...
Romans 6:23 - "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

Fourth, realize that Jesus Christ died to pay your price...
Romans 5:8 - "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."

Finally, pray. Ask Jesus Christ to be your Saviour, and claim His promise of eternal life...
Romans 10:13 - "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

All of these verses touched me in a very special way. No matter what people say about me, no matter how I feel about other people. Only God can judge me. I am the only one who can make, or condemn myself. I am the one who will get me to heaven. I am the one who will keep my relationship with God. I am the one I need to be worried about. :)
