The fragrance of Christ is not all the time received as the smell of salvation and grace. Sometimes, the sweet smell of Jesus is regarded as the smell of death. For the lost, the aroma of Jesus isn't pleasant but pungent. I submit, either way, the Gospel always has an impact.
The Bible give us examples of those who put off what God had told them to do. But, I submit, we should respond to God's instructions. Rahab is our example of obedience.
God called Israel to repentance. God calls America to repentance. If you are without Jesus as Lord and Savior, then God calls you to repentance.
We should live life well. If we do, we shall earn respect and gain the honor due. Being Mother's Day, I shall focus our thoughts upon the women, but men, you are not exempt.
It is my desire to speak to you about your walk with God. Each of us, as Christians, need to arrive at a place of absolute surrender. May God help us to do so.

Our text speaks of a guiding light. It also tells of its entrance. Let us consider these things as we think about spiritual enlightenment.
I want you to know why it is we come here and what it is we declare. I want you to know, plain and simple, about the gospel.
