The woodsman stood by the stump of a large, tall tree which he had just felled, surveying his work with regrets. He had made no effort to investigate the nature of the terrain hidden by heavy under-brush and now found to his dismay that the tree lay in a very narrow, rocky gully which made recovery of the logs an impossibility. While the tree was standing, the woodsman had the power of decision to determine in which direction it would fall, but once it was separated from its stump, a change in its position was beyond his ability no matter how earnestly he desired it.
My friend, you are approaching the day when you will wish that you had the opportunity that is yours at this moment, but your ability to make adjustments will, like the woodsman aforementioned, be forever past. Your condition at death, saved or unsaved, must remain eternally fixed.

The Coming of Joy
After the fall of man, as a result of the sins of Adam and Eve who chose to trust the devil rather than God, sadness filled the earth (Genesis 3). Cases of murder - note Cain, who killed out of envy (Genesis 4:1-8) - hatred, deceit and war have been multiplying.
Man's helplessness has become so apparent that those who cannot stand it have been taken to suicide. God, in His mercies, nevertheless intervened through a sacrificial gift of joy - Jesus the saviour. John 3:16 says "for God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life."

Welcome to God's family. :-)
Salvation Notes (a.k.a. Tracts) is simply an effort to share tracts online. I know that there are so many websites (really, a lot!) out there which do basically the same thing; but then as a growing Christian - who is barely a year old in Christ, as of the date of this post - I try to go by the philosophy that; "There is no such thing as - too much God!", so I will share every tract I come across, giver or recipient, and I will attribute the producers of each post - which are most likely going to be congregations and ministries to each post.
In addition, I'll be sharing bits and pieces of my Christian life.
Welcome to God's family.
Subscribe, share and keep on loving God ... and mankind. Thank you and God bless ;)
