The Ultimate Gamble

Everyone ultimately has to make a decision: will they trust themselves and their understanding or will they trust God and His.  This choice isn't just for unbelievers, but for those who call themselves "Christian", as well.  For very, very soon those who have placed their faith in themselves and their works and abilities will discover whether that was a wise or foolish decision.  As for me, I have nothing to boast or glory in save the Cross of Christ.  I'm staking everything - my life, my soul, and my future on Jesus Christ and Him alone.  I'm taking the gamble that His blood and righteousness are sufficient for me and that trusting in anything else, including my works, will soil my spotless garments.  I believe He freely gave me these garments of His own volition and grace and there is nothing I can do to receive them or maintain their purity save accept them through faith alone.  These garments have been made white in the blood of the Lamb.  Not by my blood nor by my works nor by anything that is mine - only by my Savior.

Honestly, most of the professing Christians I know actually DO put their trust in Christ.

in our case, we abandoned health care insurance on jan 1, 2014 and pray for His protection every single day. We’re now 63 and He has been amazingly faithful.

Tell Jesus I desperately need work.

Tell him yourself.

The greatest and most impactful question and answer in life.

13Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, He was asking His disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”

14And they said, “Some say John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but still others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.”

15He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”

16Simon Peter answered,

“You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

Matthew 16:13-16 NASB
