When I left for college my old Pastor the Late ED Nation Jr told me don't forget God. I was puzzled, how could I do that? I had been raised in church since I was 6 years old. I got baptized at 6 & when he asked me do you accept Jesus as your personal savior I said yes. He said do you know who Jesus is I said yes because I did. I never doubted the existence of Jesus so I didn't understand why he told me that, until I got to college. Well lets say until I went to school in CA. Because down south at the HBCU Southern University God was always represented. But in CA schools I heard so much God bashing I could barely finish my Biology class. The teacher always said "we aren't going to talk about that God Jazz". I couldn't believe how could somebody talk about God like that after all he has done. And is just got worse on my job I work with atheists & how they talk about the Lord is scary. But I say a silent prayer for them. I ask God to do what Jesus asked forgive for they know not what they do. I pray that God gives them a chance to say yes before its too late. And I now know why my Pastor told me not to forget. Cause people have challenged my faith. I don't argue I don't debate. I just tell what faith is, the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen. I know my worship experiences are real. I know what God has done for me. So I'm not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. So on this Great Sunday I thank God sending his only son to be a living sacrifice so shalonda might live. I am glad that Jesus was beaten & bruised, hung up on a cross, crucified & died for my sins. But he was always in Control. He laid down his life that I might live BUT on the third day he got up with all power in his hands. Now you can believe or not BUT every knee shall bow & every tongue will confess that he is Lord.God loves you & so do I...Happy
Resurrection Sunday
