Freedom To Decide
February 10, 2016
Don’t ever let anybody tell you that you have been predestined to go to hell. You have the freedom to decide otherwise. We are not machines. We are human beings. You are free to do as you wish, but it takes the grace of God for you to do as you ought.
You say, “Well I can do whatever I want.” That is true, but you see the problem is with your “wanter.” You always want what is wrong until you have the grace of God in your heart. The only reason that you can choose to do right is because He first chose you. But you still are free to choose.
God has issued a call. He has invited you. God’s Word says, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:13). He will give you the power to come, and today if you want to come, you can. You have the freedom to decide.
FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
