R.A.K.'d?

Okay, so it has been awhile since the last post. But, better late than never, right?

Maybe you find yourself here because you've been R.A.K.'d. What the heck is that all about? It is a "Random Act of Kindness", and it was probably done by someone who attends FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes). That takes care of the "what" and the "who"...

Why?! Basically, it's because we want to show you that someone out there cares about you, no matter what. While it may seem like the person who gave you this card is the one who cares about you (which is true), it is actually Jesus that is the ultimate cause of this weird, odd, strange think of being R.A.K.'d. As it says on the card, Jesus died for us, even though deep down within we are no dang good. We mess up, make mistakes, or even willingly do bad, selfish stuff...especially in comparison to God's standard of perfection. Romans 3:23 even says ALL have sinned and fallen short of God's standard.

The problem with that is: Isaiah 59:2 says that our sin has cut us off from God! And Romans 6:23 says the wages (what we owe) for our sin is DEATH...both physically and spiritually! So, it seems like we're doomed...

But God says WAIT! Instead of you paying this price, I will pay this price for you, just so I can have a relationship with you! So, He came to this world as His Son, Jesus...and died the most brutal death as punishment for our sins. THEN, he rose from that death to prove that He could overcome it, and that we can overcome it by placing our faith in Him. John 3:16 - For God SO loved the world that He gave is only Son, and that whoever believes (really believes!) in Him will not perish, but have eternal life! Woo hoo! And you, too, can experience it. Begin to pray: talk to God, ask for help, ask for guidance, ask for Him to show Himself, have faith, and ask for Him to forgive you and to change your life! Begin your journey!

So, that's where we're at (in a nutshell). Some people have realized how blessed we are to have received this awesome gift, and now we're trying to pay it forward. It's really the least we could do, considering what we've been given!

God bless! We pray that you, too, will be able to experience this AWESOME thing called grace! We hope to see you at FCA, and we hope that you will come to us with any questions you have!
