As I sit here writing this blog I have to take a minute to pray and ask God for something positive to say. It seems as though the past year or two has been flooded with bad news both from television, and from my reading of the Holy Bible. I have been reading the Old Testament for about a year reading just a chapter each night. It is almost entirely about sin, and the severe punishment for doing it. If nothing else bad was happening in the world there would still be a depressed feeling by just reading the Old Testament. I understand many people don't believe in reading the Old Testament, but it is the biggest part of God's Holy Word. It declares that we shall not take any part of God's Word out of His Holy bible. We are instructed to read, and believe every word it tells us. I have known most all of my life what the New Testament was about, but I also know we have to use the Old Testament as a reminder of why the New Testament was written. God sent His Son to live, and die on the cross, for sins that we were born with. But that is not to say we do not have to shun the very appearance of evil. We must accept Christ as our Savior, and live the cleanest life we possible can. The New Testament is a collection of books from Jesus' followers, and are inspired to write what Jesus told them to write. It is a command that we must follow. We are not exempt from obeying the Word of God just because Jesus came to forgive us. The world is now in the depth of sin because people ignored the message Jesus left them. This may not be considered by some to be positive, but it is a fact, and it will bring happiness to everyone who accepts, and follows it. There are tears of joy, and tears of sorrow that must be shed for the death of Jesus Christ.
God Bless
