SOWING SEEDS

            Author Unknown



"Perhaps you have never known Christ personally as your Savior and Lord, never loved Him that way.  Perhaps you have never known the wonder of seeking Christ's forgiveness for your sins or the joy of being forgiven.  You may ask, what do I have to do?  First, admit your need (I am a sinner).  Second, be willing to turn from your sins (repent).  Third, believe that Jesus Christ died for you on the cross and rose from the grave.  Forth, through prayers, invite Jesus Christ to come in and control your life (receive Him as Savior and Lord)."
            Billy Graham
