About Me

You have found the Forsaken MySpace of Michael Spotts:.
Creator of The Open Life
I suggest you watch the music video I made, to the left.
Read my daily journals and blogs here : (not myspace)
My name is Michael and I HAVE LEFT THE MYSPACE COMMUNITY ...
For real, reach me by email because I never respond to myspace.
Fortunately, I now have a dedicated website to house my creative works... thousands of photos, scores of pages of writing, and a children's book. Find it at www.theopenlife.com
By trade I am a professional photographer. I enjoy travel and journalism, but my aspiration is to carry the Gospel of Christ everywhere and to see God glorified in men repenting and loving Him. May God bless you with a rich life in friendship and submission unto Christ.

Something YOU should know before you die!
(it could be tomorrow!)
It’s not the winning lottery number or the secret to ageless beauty. Wealth and looks can’t solve mankind's biggest question: why do we have a conscience that tells us right from wrong? All over the world people know that lying, murder, and stealing are wrong. Parents can teach the opposite but children still know what is good and bad. Even criminals who say its okay to steal don't allow others to steal from them. They know right from wrong too, even if they justify their evil actions.
God made your conscience to "bear witness" of sin, to warn about what He disapproves of so that you can please Him with all your thoughts and actions. The bible says that after death “ every one of us shall give account of himself to God. ” [Rom 14:12] God will judge you by His commandments to not lie, lust, and hate. He will also see if you obeyed His GREATEST COMMANDMENT, to “ love God with all of your heart, mind, soul, and strength. ” [Matt 23] Of course you have failed because “ all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. ” [Rom 3:23]
Please know that God " has appointed a day when He shall judge the world in righteousness by that Man whom He has chosen. " [Acts 17:31] The Man spoken of in this verse is Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who lived sinlessly on the earth. At the judgment all men will be compared to Him and anyone found less righteous than Jesus will be damned to hell forever, because “ they which commit such things are worthy of death. ” [Rom 1:32] and “ The wages of sin is death. ” [Rom 6:23]
This is fair. God is so pure and just that it is unthinkable for Him to “accept” sinners who hate obeying Him. In fact, “ God is angry with the wicked every day. ” [Psm 7] All men have rebelled against their conscience, so “ the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and sinfulness of men. ” [Rom 7]
But there is a way to be saved! God says, “ I desire that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why should you die? ” [Ezkl 33] “ God has overlooked the times of ignorance; but now commands all men every where to repent. ” [Acts 17] “ Without faith it is impossible to please Him: for whosoever comes to God must believe that He exists, and that He is a rewarder of them that earnestly seek Him. ” [Heb 11:6] “ Whoever believes on the Son has everlasting life: and he that does not believe the Son shall not see life; but the WRATH of God abides on him. ” [John 3:36]
God the Son came in the form of a man, Jesus (the name means “God saves”). He lived perfectly and gave His life as a sacrifice for sins. He was beaten and hung on a painful cross. He was even cut off from the presence of God the Father to bear the penalty that sinners deserve. “ Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many. ” [Heb 9] Three days later He rose from the dead to prove His victory over death. If you will repent and turn from your sins, and put your faith in the righteousness of Christ Jesus who alone can save, then He will “ never leave you nor forsake you. ” His Holy Spirit will come into your heart and give you power to overcome all sins and walk in love towards God and man. “ Being justified by faith, we now have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. ” [Rom 5] “ Him that comes to Me I will in no way cast out. ” [John 6] Ask Jesus to be your savior. Read your bible. Pray always. Spend time with godly people. Flee sin.
If you want to know more about how you can KNOW that the bible is true, please write me or start seeking. It's not worth being lazy or wrong to be in such extreme jeopardy. Seriously.
