"I am the Truth, the Way, and the Life. No man cometh unto the Father but by Me." -John 14:6
"So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God's law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God--through Jesus Christ our Lord!" -Romans 7:21-25
'"The message is very close at hand; it is on your lips and in your heart." And that message is the very message about faith that we preach: If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. As scriptures tell us, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced"' -Romans 10:8-11
"What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them
wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look
for the one that wandered off?
And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he is happier about that one
sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off." -Matthew 18:12-13
"For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with
our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as
we are--yet was without sin." -Hebrews 4:15
"Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." Matthew 11:29,30
"Trust in the Lord with all you heart
and lean not to your own understanding.
In all ways, acknowledge Him and
He will direct your paths." -Prov. 3:5-6
"In moods of discouragement or despair,
never forget that the sunshine will ultimately come back,
that it's absence never is permanent.
Hang onto your faith, knowing that soon
you will rise into the sunshine again."
-Norman Vincent Peale
"A little faith will bring your soul to heaven ,
but a lot of faith will bring heaven to your
soul." -Dwight L. Moody
"Help me, Lord, to remember that religion is not to be confined to the
church... nor exercised only in prayer and meditation, but that
every where I am in They Presence. " -Susanna Wesley
"I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills,
from whence cometh my help." -Psalm 121:1
My name is Jake. I'm 19, and I live in good ole' Xenia Ohio. A place where, children can roam free in the streets, and where bicycling is king, and recreation is our #1 concern.....Sike!
I worship and live for our Lord Jesus Christ. Through Christ I'm made right with God our Father. Ever since my salvation, I've been lead and given all new prospects on life. I lived a very depressed atheistic life before I came to Christ. In retrospect I couldn't ever comprehend a life without God. I passionately believe with Faith and Reason that God exists, and I die to myself daily and allow him to govern and direct my paths.
I take refuge in his word alone, and if people want to think I'm corny, let them.
Please answer Jesus' call. We were all born into a life of sin, and we need a redeemer; someone to pay our ransom and deliver us from an immoral bondage. I'm not saying you'll have a perfect, blameless, or even easier life. There is a battle going on for your soul right now. Humble yourself before God, die to your old sinful ways and receive LIFE.
"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt
Don't Ever Give up. Don't ever stop searching for something greater.
My goal is to become an Analytical Philosopher, Theologian and defender of the Christian Faith. Some may think this to be a frivolous persuit. I can understand why people may think this, but I beg to differ. What would be the benefit of this pursuit? -Strengthening believers, and Evangelizing unbelievers. That is my goal and I'm doing it in benefit of others, and I stress the importance of it. My other goal is to have my face on a box of cereal. Other things about me:
I 've been playing guitar for almost six years, and it consumes me. I'm a Metal Head, but I thoroughly enjoy any style of music. I'm a momma's boy..pah! I'm also single, a hopeless romantic, and I cry when I watch old Disney movies.. So message me if you've got any questions!
