To Live is Christ



None is righteous, no not one,  Rom. 3:10
Save God’s own sweet, and perfect son,
The wages of sin is death and pain, Rom. 6:23
To live is Christ, to die is gain. Phil. 1:21

But God so loved, even me, John 3:16
He sent his son to Calvary
He took the burden, bore my pain,
To live is Christ, to die is gain. Phil. 1:21

Christ Jesus is the one who died. Rom. 8:34
The crowds all called out “Crucify”. Mark 15:13
The power to leave, yet there he stayed.
To live is Christ to die is gain. Phil. 1:21

If we confess our sins he is faithful and just,
To forgive our sins, if we only trust. 1 John 1:9
Believe on the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, Acts 16:31
To live is Christ and to die is gain. Phil. 1:21

Whoever believes has eternal life, John 6:47
Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. John 1:17
Through Summer, Winter, sun or rain, Gen. 8:22
To live is Christ to die is gain. Phil. 1:21

Now I dare not waste my life,
Knowing full the sacrifice, Eph. 5:2
He has made to clear my name,
to live is Christ to die is gain. Phil. 1:21

I have been purchased with a price, 1 Cor. 6:20
By the way, the truth, and the life. John 14:6
In the Lord I labor, and shall not in vain. 1 Cor. 15:58
For to live is Christ and to die is gain. Phil. 1:21

Catching up

Hello! I haven't written anything since last November. Wow! The time has flown! A number of things have changed in my life, probably more than has ever changed before in such a short time. I'll quickly get you caught up on what's been happening. Courtship      First of all, I started courting (not dating) the most wonderful man in the world. On my birthday last January he surprised me by coming with a letter asking me to begin a relationship with him that, Lord willing, would lead to marriage.

Engagement On Memorial Day 2017 My dear Matthew asked me to marry him. With his marvelous perfectionistic tendencies (which I do NOT p...

Why We Chose Courtship

A few years ago I read Joshua Harris' book "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" and saw the flaws in America's dating philosophy. The puppy-mill of relationship after relationship held no charm for me. Why would I want to waste the precious time God has given me on this earth on one boy after the other? No way, Jose! I decided that if Christ could conquer death, He could find my husband.

As opposed to dating, where it's generally seen as a temporary relationship just "for fun", the goal of courtship is getting to know someone for the purpose of marriage. In our relationship Matthew made it clear from the beginning that he intended to marry me. Courtshi...
