All right folks.  A new sermon given to me throughout the past few days.  I was doing some thinking and this is what I have come to understand while reading Matthew.  The chapter summerizes the life of Jesus.  It's the best I've ever read... although this is the first book I've read with understanding... almost.  Can someone help me out with the parable in Matthew chapter 25 about the ten virgins?  But I digres.  So reading through Matthew I've discovered many things but the most important I find is: if your hand causes you to sin cut it off, if your eyes cause you to sin gouge them out, better to go through life crippled then to spend enternity in HELL!  Now I thought about that and i figure that it is a literal meaning, yes, however another meaning is to show the importance of purging everything that we come in contact with.  If your TV causes you to sin, through it out!  If your boyfriend/girlfriend wants you to have sex, dump 'em.  Better to go through life without human contact then to betray God.  What is 90 years on earth compared to an eternity with the creator?  Nothing, not even a blink.  You see he is coming and we must be ready because he could come right now.  or now... or now... or now.  You nener know and when he does we MUST be spotless so as not to be thrown into the darkness where there will be weaping and gnashing of teeth.  That's a phrase that appears alot in parables and it usually means HELL.  Yup. That's just a conclusion I've come to and I think that we must purge ourselves of everthing, EVERYTHING that tempts or distracts ud from God less we be consumed by fire.

A Child of God willing to pray for whoever wants it
