The Volpe Family Blog

I was a little aggravated with myself that I had not posted much since the blog improvements. They were meant to motivate me. But in this past week I have spent some much needed time on improving me. Not on the outside but in my soul. We have been in revival with our church for most of the week and it is always a time I look forward to. But this year was different. More than ever the messages cut me to the core and I am seeing things a little more in focus more. That focus being on Jesus. Tonight in fellowship with our youth Bryan shared Psalms 150:6: Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.

I know for sure I fail at praising Him with every breath, but I most defiantly want to be on a path that is striving to be better than I was the day before. I want to share with you the most important knowledge I have to share.

For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Romans 1:16

Have you received the gift of Salvation? Do you know how? Again we look to the "Answer Key".

John 3:16-17: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

Romans 3:23: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Romans 6:23: For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 5:8: But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 10:9: That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Romans 10:13: For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

This week I have seen the example of how much the traditions of men and "church" can confuse people and there thoughts of how to receive Salvation. God makes the instructions plain to see and simple to do. He is not the Author of confusion (1 Cor 14:33). It is His will that ALL hear the message, understand it, and believe upon Him.

If you have not done so already, please call on the name of the Lord today. There are no special words to pray. Just speak from your heart. Admit the sin that is in your life and recognize that you are in need of a Savior. Believe that Jesus Christ was sent to Earth and lived a sinless life, but was crucified as payment for the sin of ALL men. And graciously ask to receive the gift of that precious blood that was shed...and you WILL BE SAVED!

If you are already a Christian please take the opportunity of this blog to share the Gospel with your lost friends and family members.

With love and compassion...
