"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, 'The just shall live by faith.'"
By faith alone, through His grace alone, for His glory alone.
Faith: Belief in Jesus Christ, God's son, fully God who humbled Himself, became man, killed by men, took the wrath and punishment of God ONE time, dead for 3 days, rose on third, ascended to heaven and there He sits at the right hand of the God the Father.
Grace: God demonstrated His grace by sending His son Jesus to be a man, die, take the punishment that the just God must give, and we are now not only forgiven but adopted as heirs - as sons of God, just as Jesus Christ.
His Glory: Why would God do all of this? Because He is perfect, holy, righteous, and it declares His glory to the world. He's the main thing.
How am I to be saved? Only through faith. Only by making Him Lord/Master of your life. Going to church, paying money to the church, confessing your sins, believing that Jesus existed, taking part in communion, or living a good life, or any other work isn't enough, one must have faith, must submit as a slave to the great Master who is perfectly good, loving, holy, righteous, just, powerful . . .

My View the last 4 Days
I wasn't quite as successful as I had hoped in getting 20 hats made Thursday, but that's ok. I figured a lot of stuff out. Today Joey came back from a trip to MN where my parents, Natey boy, and Mikey (my nephew) were visiting my grandma and brought me back 21 hats that I had all ready to go from home. So, my count as of right now is 42 hats. It doesn't look like that many pinned up on the wall, but it's a lot. I'm not sure the burlap will hold up too well.
James 1:27 says: "Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world." This is just a bit of a round about, long distance way to practice "visiting the orphans." Wanna help? Let me know :)
