That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your
heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

| Yes, You May |
| As children we played the game "Mother may I". One child played
the mother or father (the authority figure) and the rest of us were their subjects.
We all started some distance from the "mother" and would ask for permission to take
steps of various sizes towards the front. One could only move forward when the leader would
give approval by saying, "Yes, you may." The first player to make it to the front
was the winner. |
| |
| Perhaps in some aspects, life works the same way. When we want
to make forward progress, we must obtain permission. We need a higher authority to allow us,
and even show us, how to move ahead. It is a rare week that passes that I do not encounter
someone whose life is significantly hindered by a debilitating vice. Sometimes it is a negative
relationship; often it is drugs, alcohol or some other addiction. They really are trapped and
can't see any way out. They need "permission" if you will to escape their prison. |

"Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name,
he gave the right to become children of God."
-- John 1:12 |

| The good news I want to share with you today is that you can
escape your prison! No matter how powerful their hold upon you, the chains of sin that
bind you can be broken! Right now, if you will confess your sins to Jesus Christ, ask him
to forgive you and invite him into your heart, you will be saved. Your life will be
completely changed! Are you wondering if you really can be cleansed completely
and receive a brand new start, the answer is a resounding, "Yes, you may!" |
| |
| Thank God everyone is invited to become his special child!
