Presenting the Bride of Jesus Christ - Bill Mason....................................... and each of you who Commit to Jesus...

Ezekiel 11:18 And when they come there, they will remove from it all itsdetestable things and all its abominations. 19 And I will give them one heart, and a new spirit I will put within them. I will remove the heart of stone from their flesh and give them a heart of flesh, 20that they may walk in my statutes and keep my rules and obey them. And they shall be my people, and I will be their God. 21 But as for those whose heart goes after their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their deeds upon their own heads, declares the Lord GOD."

As a single guy, I did some really foolish and rebellious acts.  I did not know God, and no one loved me unconditionally.  Making a decision to repent from my life of selfish preoccupation with Bill Mason, and walk obediently with Jesus, with all that is in me has been the most profitable decision I have ever made.

The second best decision I have ever made was to ask Anna Rohlfing to be my bride.  I remember looking down the Isle and thinking how blessed I was, that such a Godly woman would take a chance on young believer like me.  It has been a great 22 years!  When I decided to get married, I decided to repent from being single as well.  With marriage comes an expectation of a new life, with new rules, and new ways of thinking.  

So God is calling us to be his bride!  To be his people.  To live a life of Love for him, and sacrifice for others.  Like Anna extends me to walk in upright ways, so God wants us to walk in upright ways.  Anna's love for me has helped me to become a better man than I am.  So God's love for me can bring out Christ which is dwelling in me...

I love the picture of God looking at me with love, with admiration, with great Joy.  I know that I am this important to The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, because he was willing to pay a huge cost for me...the destruction of his own most precious son!

God may we all walk in Christ's footstep, to become the beautiful brides dressed in your white linens,  given freely, and prepared for the day when we will look fully on your face..

Isa 61:7-10 Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready; 8 it was granted her to clothe herself with fine linen, bright and pure"--for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints.
