Here at Horse-Play, we believe that hard work and preparation are necessary to succeed, but those goals we set for ourselves can only be accomplished through the strength that is given to us by Christ.  This strength is attained through the Joy of the Lord.  We can have joy and salvation when we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.  Because we have ALL sinned, and done wrong in the sight of God, we are all condemned to pay a price.  However, because God loved us so much, He sent his only Son, Jesus Christ, to be born into this world, to be a living example of righteousness, and to suffer and die to pay the price for OUR sins.  To be saved from eternal damnation, we must believe that Christ did indeed die on the cross for our sins, that He was the Son of God, and that He rose from the dead, victorious over the devil.  We must repent and ask forgiveness from our sins. We must ask Jesus to enter into our hearts to live.  We must turn from the sinful ways of our past, and strive to live righteously, to serve God in every area of our lives.  If you would like to receive Christ as your Savior, and be assured that you will spend eternity with Him, please pray this prayer:

"Dear Father God, I come to you in the name of Jesus Christ.  I believe that He is your Son, and that He came to Earth, and died on the cross for my sins and sicknesses. I believe that He rose from the dead, victorious over the devil.  Father, I know I have sinned, and done wrong.  Please forgive me.  Jesus, come into my heart.  Make me whole again, and heal me.  Help me to live righteously.  I will serve you all the days of my life!  Amen."

If you prayed this prayer, please click on "Contact Us" below, and let me know, so I can rejoice with you and include you in my prayers.  Congratulations!  You are now a member of the righteousness of the Body of Christ Jesus.  You need to learn more in order to grow in your life with the Lord.  If you don't already have one, get a copy of the Holy Bible.  There are many versions available, and your local Christian bookstore clerk will be happy to help you find the right one.  If you don't have finances available to purchase a Bible, I would be happy to send one to you.  Start reading in the New Testament, the book of John, and you will read the story of what Christ did for us all.  I would like to encourage you to find a Spirit-Filled, Christian Church near your home, and be faithful to attend services, to learn from other Christians, and learn to be a light to others who are lost.  Take a look at your current lifestyle and find ways to remove sin, and be an example of Christ.  God bless you and keep, you.  May His face shine upon you!
