I am so excited about the message I heard last Sunday in church that I decided I would devote this post to it.
The debt I am talking about is the debt you owe to friends and family. You owe them to share God's Grace with them.
You see, hell is a real place. We know that because the Bible tells us there is a lake of fire. But anyone who accepts and believes in the Lord Jesus Christ is saved.
Don't ever be ashamed of the gospel. The debt you owe is not to Jesus Christ, but to the unsaved.
Grace pays debts, it doesn't make them! You should want to share God's message because you are so overwhelmed by the sacrifice that He made for us.
Share God's grace with anyone at any opportunity. Don't be afraid of how you look...a few will want what you have; some won't, but so what..that is their choice.
Some may think your words are foolish; a stumbling block to those who don't want to make any sacrifices and are thinking mostly only of themselves.
Be obedient to God's Word. Hebrews 12:15 says, "See to it that no one misses the grace of God."
How will they know unless we tell them? Be amazed and share the gospel today!

Live The Life God Intended For You
If you're like most people, you are so busy everyday with the routine tasks in life that you don't have the time to really live your life. This isn't how it's supposed to be. If you are ever really going to change your life then the change needs to begin with you. You and your thinking.
Maybe you have taken your focus off of God. You need to return there. I have to constantly be reminding myself of something I learned once. Something someone once told me. "Making God first is the key to experiencing His best."
Realize that God knows you deserve more. He made you to prosper and flourish, not to be withered by the mundane and trivial. You should know you deserve more and expect more. The Bible tells us, "Set your mind on higher things". Are you holding yourself back from really achieving the good things you deserve? Anticipate the results of knowing that you are in exactly the right place at the right time.
Do you really have faith in God and what He can deliver to your life? If you do then your life will be a reflection of that. Wake up each day with the anticipation of knowing you're a child of God...an heir to the King. You will be blessed beyond your expectations because you have the faith to know that it will happen.
In the Bible God tells us, "As a man thinketh..." That is how you are. What a man thinks he is, he is. If you think you'll lose, then you've already lost.
When you awaken you should be thanking the Lord for another day. Start out placing yourself in a position to receive favor from God. Just think, "This is the day the Lord as made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it." Expect to step out of bed on the right foot. Expect circumstances to change in your favor.
Remember this above all, the Lord has told you, "I know the plans I have for you. Plans to prosper you..." So how can you fail? You can't, if you believe these things in your heart.
How many times have you repeated what the psalmist has told you, "...goodness and mercy will follow me all of my days"? Have you ever really thought about that? Consider the words. Goodness and mercy....each of us deserves godness and mercy. Do you really believe it or is it just some rote thing you learned in Sunday school?
You must live with the constant expectation of all the good things that are going to happen for you.
There are miracles happening around us all the time. Some people call it "luck", some call it "coincidence"...I call it "God at work". Let God work in your life. This might be the day that you get your miracle.
