How Can I Be saved?

For man to be saved, he must first realize he is lost.  What does it mean to be lost?  To be lost is to be without God in your life.  We know that Adam, the first man whom God created from the dust of the earth, was created perfect.  He was also given a choice.  In Genesis, chapter 3, we see that Adam fell away from God by his disobedience.  God said, in the day that you eat the forbidden fruit, surely you will die.  Adam lived 900 and some years after he fell away from God, so we know God was talking about spiritual death.  Adam had become spiritually dead after he sinned against God. Now you and I have to be brought back to life.  God sent His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life (John 3:16). If you receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, then you are saved!  Are you ready now?  If not, would you like to call Pastor Bill with further questions?  (859-620-7729).  If yes, then pray this prayer:

Heavenly Father, I recognize my sin and know that I need a Savior.  I believe Jesus died on the cross in my place to pay the cost for my sin!  I believe that God rose Him from the dead.  Jesus is alive!!!  Lord, now forgive me of all my sin, I receive you as my savior. amen . . .

If you said that prayer and meant it with all your heart, call Pastor Bill or someone you know and let them know what has happened to you.  Email me at contactpreacherbill@gmail.com  or call (859)-620-7729

Bloody Footprints!
by Vicki Campbell

Footprints are evidence that we’ve been in a certain place. When Bill was a young boy, the circus animals broke loose in his home town of Peru, Indiana. Later that night, they heard loud noises outside of their house in the country. When they got up the next morning and looked outside, there were elephant footprints all over their yard. There was no denying that an elephant had visited them the night before.

Many of you have seen little children trying to step in their daddy’s footprints that he may have left in the sand or the snow. Maybe you’ve even done it yourself. Sometimes, they’ll even put his much-too-big shoes on to make it seem more real. They have a desire to be like him and to do what he has done. Somehow, it makes them feel closer to him to stand where he stood. I know you’ve heard the phrase, “He’s walking in his father’s footsteps.” In other words, he’s like his father, or he’s doing what his father did.

At times, people will want to make a more permanent statement of their existence by stepping into wet concrete. Recently, I watched an old I Love Lucy rerun where Lucy stole John Wayne’s cemented footprints. They were valuable to her because, even though he wasn’t with her, they were something that belonged to him and it made her feel close to him.
