Belonging

 Romans 14:8

For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord.  So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's.

We all want to belong.  We all want to be accepted.  Whether we kid ourselves or not, we want to belong somewhere.  Some people join every group they hear about.  Some people are more selective.  Sometimes it's the group that recuits, and sometimes, it is the group that is more exclusive in their members.  But God isn't like that.  All you have to do is follow God's commands, accept his free gifts, and you are in!  How easy God has made it to be a Christian.  He has always had the invitation there for you to accept, you just have to accept it.


I Have Decided To Follow Jesus
Lyrics:  Unknown


I have decided to follow Jesus
I have decided to follow Jesus
I have decided to follow Jesus
No turning back, no turning back.

2. Tho' none go with me, I still will follow,
Tho' none go with me I still will follow,
Tho' none go with me, I still will follow;
No turning back, no turning back.

3. My cross I'll carry, till I see Jesus;
My cross I'll carry till I see Jesus,
My cross I'll carry till I see Jesus;
No turning back, No turning back.

4. The world behind me, the cross before me,
The world behind me, the cross before me;
The world behind me, the cross before me;
No turning back, no turning back.
