Evidence, evidence, evidence, will be the one thing wanted when the great white throne is set, when the books are opened, when the graves give up their tenants, when the dead are arraigned before the bar of God. Without some evidence that our faith in Christ was real and genuine, we shall only rise again to be condemned. I can find no evidence that will be admitted in that day, except sanctification. The question will not be how we talked and what we professed, but how we lived and what we did. Let no man deceive himself on this point. If anything is certain about the future, it is certain that there will be a judgment; and if anything is certain about judgment, it is certain that men’s “works” and “doings” will be considered and examined in it (Jn. 5:29; 2 Cor. 5:10; Rev. 20:13). He that supposes works are of no importance, because they cannot justify us, is a very ignorant Christian. Unless he opens his eyes, he will find to his cost that if he comes to the bar of God without some evidence of grace, he had better never have been born.

Dear Friends and Family,
 
    Many of you have prayed for my cousin.  Some of you do not know the circumstances.  My cousin Tim, is one of the oldest living people with cystic fibrosis (sp?)  He is 43 or 44.  His quality of life has really declined in this last year.  He is on full time oxygen and still not able to do lots of things.  He is a Christian and loves the Lord.  My Uncle and Aunt lost their oldest (and only other son) son to this disease.  They have 2 daughters as well.  Tim has been waiting for a double lung transplant.  The call came today.  He is having the transplant today if everything matches.  It was to start at 7AM LA time.  Please pray for this family.  This is all or nothing.  If for whatever reason it does not work, he is totally healed and gone home to be with Jesus.  If it works, he has a difficult and long road to travel.  I would appreciate your prayers for him and his family.  God bless.
 
Only by His merciful grace,
Marci

He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose.
