DUMPSTERThis is where threads go to die. Old threads are moved here (and displayed in reverse order) before they're forever deleted. While they'll most likely not be moved out out of the dumpster -- those posted to will gain a short reprieve of a month or two. Obviously no threads are to be started in this forum.
Donations of any size will help to defray the enormous legal costs from a lawsuit filed against the administrator of OldHippie.com, by what many refer to as a "Copyright Troll" law firm, for the posting of a TSA "Pat Down" photo they had bought the copyright rights to, after the photo was posted on this site, and then removed.
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. Isaiah 53:6
In the nineteenth century, Dr. James Simpson championed the use of chloroform anesthesia so people could be spared the pain of surgery. Can you imagine being under a surgeon's knife while you are still conscious? Some years after the discovery, a student asked Simpson, "What do you consider to be the most valuable discovery of your life?" His students were surprised when he replied, "My most valuable discovery was when I discovered that I was a sinner and that Jesus Christ was my Savior!"
Sometimes the greatest discoveries aren't what you would expect.
Do you realize you are a sinner? The Bible is clear about sin and tells us there is no one who is blameless -- either before God or men. "None is righteous, no, not one" (Romans 3:10b). Our daily life also aptly demonstrates we are sinners, and any newscast shows our complete corruption: wars, violence, murders, dishonesty, sleaze, lies, and on and on.
That is the bad news, but there is good news.
Jesus, the Son of God, came with a message: " . . . The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the Gospel" (Mark 1:15b). This is the good news for each of us today. "Repent and believe," the Lord commands us. The fruit of your faith will be a meaningful life here on earth and eternal life with Jesus Christ after death.
THE PRAYER:God almighty, I understand from Your Word I am a sinner. Through faith in the atoning work of Your Son, You accept me as Your beloved child. In You I can truly find love. Thank You for that boundless grace that seeks and saves the lost -- even a sinner like me. In the Name of Jesus, my Savior, I pray this. Amen.
