Amendment of our Lives

Faith is among our greatest gifts. We must compete to remain firm in our faith and live holy lives. If we do this, we will be confident when we petition God in prayer. God knows our needs and is alwasy ready to give.

We must pray to amend our lives. We must renounce sinful pleasures and practice self-control. God's judgment is quickly approaching. This will be a terrible day. The scriptures say that the sun, moon and stars will be consumed, and the entire earth will be destroyed. All that each man has done, in open or in secret, will be brought to light. We must atone for our sins while we still have time. A good way to do this is by giving to the poor. "Love covers a multitude of sins."

In order to be saved we must repent from the depths of our hearts. If we are all to be saved, we must help each other and support those who struggle to live good lives. If we see someone doing wrong, we must warn him and point out the error.

In Christ,

Rev. Jeffery A. Fasching
