What I learned ...

(Psalms 119:33-40)  Revive me, Oh Lord, and keep me in Thy Ways and Thy Truth!

(Jeremiah 8)  If we continually and deliberately turn against God, God will turn away from us eventually and send us into eternal doom.  We always have the chance to turn back and repent, but someday it will be too late.

(Luke 1:57-80 The Advent of John the Baptist)  We must listen to what God is telling us.  He has the great power to or not to reveal knowledge of Himself.  Be prepared to receive and believe through faith.  Once our faith is broken, our fellowship with God is and we are the ones who lose out.  We all were created for a specific purpose.  You can see that in the life of John the Baptist.  Believe that Christ was sent here to forgive all our sins and through that faith God will lead us into paths of righteousness and peace.  (*1:79 - reference to Psalm 23)
