simply southern: Nothing More, Nothing Less

I start off my days by waking up, reading the word of God, and then eating breakfast, and either I go straight to work out, or I sit and watch the morning talk shows like, Good Morning America, Rachel Ray, Nate Berkus, and The View. This particular morning I decided to watch TV then go spend some time on the elliptical. As you know, The View

is a talk show with some lovely ladies telling their "view" on today's hot topics. One of the "Hot Topics" today had to do with a new version of the Bible being written and printed, and in this new version, instead of saying the virgin Mary, they are saying a young girl named Mary. I understand why people are changing the literature, and putting it in more simple ways to understand, but how far is to far.

Does the words "a young girl named Mary" tell the truth about how our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, was brought into this world, or does it distort the truth behind the Gospel Message?

Truth is, Christ was born from a humble VIRGIN vessel. I believe strongly that Jesus was not birthed by a rich and powerful women that could have draped him in gold and silver and the worlds finest linens, because God desired to show us how humble his entrance was, and how his life on earth was to never be seen as a "show".

Jesus was sent to this world to A. Be born of a virgin, B. To live an ordinary life, facing the same things everyone else at His time had to face, and not choosing sin, C. To pay the ultimate costs for our sins, by being crucified on the cross, D. To be risen from the dead on the third day.

Christ was sent to this world with one thing in mind....YOU. Nothing more, nothing less.

If you would have been the only one....Jesus Christ would have still died for you.
