The man who died next to Jesus had nothing.

No baptism.
No communion.
No confirmation.
No speaking in tongues.
No mission trip.
No volunteering.
No financial gifts.
No church clothes.

He couldn't even bend his knees to pray.

Nails through his wrists meant no folded hands.
No sinner's prayer crossed his lips.
No altar call for a dying criminal.

He was naked.
Bleeding.
Worthy of death under the law.

Jesus didn't remove his pain.
Didn't heal his broken body.
Didn't silence the crowd mocking them both.
Didn't bring him down from that cross.

The thief had no testimony to share.
No before-and-after transformation story.
No time to prove his faith was real.
No chance to clean up his life.

Just a dying breath used to say:
"Lord, remember me."

And Jesus blood running down His face

Turned to this worthless criminal and promised:
"Today shalt thou be with me in paradise."

No theologian's spin needed.
No brilliant sermon required.
No worship team or mood lighting.
No haze machines or hip pastor.
No coffee bar in the lobby.
No small group sign-ups.

Just a naked man dying on wood.
Unable to move.
Unable to serve.
Unable to give.
Unable to perform.
Unable to impress.
Unable to earn.

All he could do was believe.

Believe that the bloodied man next to him
Was who He claimed to be.
That was it.
That was everything.

He entered paradise the same hour as Christ.
Not because of what he did.
Because of who Jesus is.

This criminal understood in his final moments
What religious men spend lifetimes missing:

Salvation isn't in your performance.
It's in His promise.

"For God so loved the world,
that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish,
but have everlasting life."

A thief.
A cross.
A Savior.
A promise.

THAT IS ENOUGH.

@marcorubio You will hear it!

....If a potential “sicko shooter” knows that a school has a large number of very weapons talented teachers (and others) who will be instantly shooting, the sicko will NEVER attack that school. Cowards won’t go there...problem solved. Must be offensive, defense alone won’t work!

“You’re not saved by joining a church. You’re not saved by living a good moral life. You’re saved only because of the grace of God in Christ.” Read more from my father @BillyGraham in this month’s issue of @DecisionNews: https://t.co/YjEMT9xDBJ

My father @BillyGraham was once asked, “Where is Heaven?” He said, “Heaven is where Jesus is and I am going to Him soon!” This morning, he departed this world into eternal life in Heaven, prepared by the Lord Jesus Christ—the Savior of the world—whom he proclaimed for 80 years.

Many people are hurting today, in the middle of crisis or overwhelming grief. The most important thing we can remember are the promises of Scripture. “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1).

@marcorubio Gob bless you!

Médicos forenses de la Morgue están obligados por su juramento hipocrático a no ocultar causas de las muertes de Óscar Perez y compañeros. Recuerden el juicio de Nuremberg donde se enjuició a médicos que mintieron por genocidio judio

[Franklin Graham @Franklin_Graham]

The Word of God warns us that lying has serious consequences. But the Good News is that God offers us forgiveness through His Son, Jesus Christ. The Bible says, “In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.” 2/2
