Apparently the brand of chocolate I brought back to the States from Haiti (Swish chocolate) that I bought in a local small store..apparently can also be bought here in a tiny little chain of stores we know as Walgreen's.....go figure!

No matter how hard we try, how many times we pray, go to church, do good deeds, read the Bible...we can never measure up, never gain salvation. But there is a great hope and relief that is "by grace that you have been saved, though faith- and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast." Eph 2:8. It isn't an act of baptism, a prayer we say, but a gift from God. Jesus Christ is the author and perfecter of our faith Heb 12:2. He gives me the faith to believe. "It's the word of faith that welcomes God to go to work and set things right for us. This is the core of our preaching. Say the welcoming words to God -"Jesus is my Master"-embracing, body and soul, God's work of doing in us what he did raising Jesus from the dead. That's it. You're not "doing" anything; your simply calling out to God, trusting him to do it for you. That's salvation. With your whole being you embrace God setting things right, and then you say it right out loud: "God has set everything right between him and me." Romans 10:8-10. Beautiful and available to you, call to Him now.

"Scripture assures us,'No one who trusts God like this-heart and soul- will ever regret it' Romans 10: 11
