Hello and thanks for taking a look at my snaps.

Well, photography is fun, but it's really not all that important in the grand scheme of things. There are much more important things in life, and none is more important than knowing where you will spend eternity. I hope that, in some small way, the Bible quotations and short thoughts I leave in the description below my snaps will give a glimpse of the Good News of what Jesus Christ has done for you and me. That Good News has changed my life forever.

I was born into a family where I was taken to church every Sunday. You might have called me "religious" or "good-living", although I wouldn't have described myself that way. One day I realised that none of my "good works" or church attendance mattered - I was never going to be good enough!

The Bible says:

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23)

"But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear." (Isaiah 59:2)

"But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags" (Isaiah 64:6)

That all sounds like very BAD NEWS. But on that same day, I also understood the GOOD NEWS which God has promised to each and every one of us...

"For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God" (1 Peter 3:18)

"He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life." (John 3:36)

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)

In the Bible, God promises us that we can be saved from the coming judgement. We can have all our sins washed away forever! We can KNOW for certain that we have peace with God and that we will one day be with Him for all eternity.

How is that possible? Because God's Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, the Messiah, became a man, lived a perfect life, died on a cross taking our punishment, rose from the dead and now sits at God's right hand in heaven.

He said:

"He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life." (John 5:24)

Someone once asked, "What must I do to be saved?"

The answer was, and still is, simple:

"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved" (Acts 16:31)

Today, I am not hoping that my good deeds will outweigh my bad deeds. Nor am I simply "hoping for the best". Today, I KNOW that God has forgiven all my sins - not because of what I have done, but because of what His Son, the Lord Jesus, has done:

"And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God." (1st John 5:11-13)

You can know for sure that your sins are forgiven too!
