 I have given much thought to deleting posts. I don't claim to have a corner on the market as far as theology. You might even read in later posts where I have grown and my knowledge has increased and I know without a doubt I don't believe the same as I did 35 years ago.  Don't follow me, follow Christ. If I write something that will encourage you and help you on your way to Christ and with Christ, that is great. I am not here to start anything new. In fact, if I say something you have not heard before you might want to really check it out.  I am growing in my faith, I don't have it all together. Sometime many years ago I accepted Jesus as my savior and that is all it takes. I don't have to know it all. I don't earn my way in. I can't write enough posts to earn my way in. It is not the works I do today that make me a Christian. It is the fact that one day I believed in Jesus alone for my salvation. I asked him to forgive me of my sins. It was a one-time event and it is finished. But I will not delete my posts, there are non-essentials of the gospel and how to live this Christian life that we may not agree on. The thing that matters is did I believe in Jesus to forgive me of my sins? It is that simple. I cannot earn it by being good and learning and quoting more scripture.  I learned that I am being censored because of my conservative and possible Christian beliefs. I expect it is more the conservative thought that gets me censored. I will not stop. It makes me angry because I live in a country that has been free but we are seeing our freedoms disappear if we don't follow leftist thoughts and ideas. I am here to stay I will continue to exercise my freedom to speak my mind as much as I am able. I believe that God is sovereign and it is God I need to fear and not someone who can censor my writings. I will stand before God someday to give an account for my life and I want to hear the words faithful and true. I don't earn it I simply receive God's grace as a free gift. Sometimes we hear about cheap grace if we see someone that may not live up to what we believe.  You cannot get any cheaper than free. Grace is free. All it takes is believing in Jesus for the forgiveness of our sins. It is free. Only God can see into our hearts. He alone knows if we have actually committed our hearts to him. I continue to commune with him and to pray and to read his word to hear from him, it is called relationship. But it is free, I cannot work my way into heaven by doing enough good. I simply believe that Jesus died on a cross for my sins and believe he has forgiven me. It is that simple. The rest of this is fluff, just trying to live the best life I can. I have already secured a spot in heaven by believing in Jesus. Nothing else matters. I have two blog sites that I use, and if you have read this it will probably be the same on the other site. This site will have more of my old stuff as I deleted all the old on the WordPress site. Google can censor me all they want. I don't need to please them. I want to please God and I hope the words I write and meditations of my heart are pleasing to him. God bless, LVZ.
