I know i don't need to light up and if perhaps anyone offered me one right this minute, I would definetly refuse. I feel I'm in a really uncomfortable mood and have had trouble attempting to sleep still I do know I can end up being tough. The e cig may help me out in the long run.

Many of these same messages lack the chronological order in which a person should receive salvation. When I attended a Bible preaching fundemental church back in the 60's, we heard words like "conviction", "repenting", "confessing your sins to God" and "praying through" till you "got the victory". Today you hear little to nothing about conviction. Men and women were truely converted from a life of sin, alchoholism, smoking, cussing, carousing and the like. They became changed people and it was by the power of the Holy Spirit. They were truely "born again". Today all we need to do is make mental assent to God and all is fine. There's no real "conversion". The "old man" [old sinful nature], is not really crucified with Christ ... we've just given him a slap on the wrist and try to keep him under control. Too long now we have been hearing a social gospel without any real Biblical doctrinal substance. We have heaped to ourselves teachers having itching ears. We are more interested in the church socials and programs than we are in hearing the deep truths of God that are able to change man into the creature that God can use. Too many church people today can name their favorite players on a ball team and cannot name 5 books of the Bible in consecutive order. We know the words to the ungodly songs and music of the world and cannot quote anymore scriptuer than the 23rd Psalm or John 3:16. They know who John, Paul, Ringo and George are, but do not know Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. We are too busy watching the idiot box and garbage like Access Hellywood, Entertainment Tonight, Dancing With the Stars and the ungodly talk shows of the likes of Oprah and Ellen, Maury, Springer and others. We need a great revival in this country and we need it soon. Turn off the TV and get your Bibles out and read and ask God to help you. Yes, repent and turn to God. He will hear and He will save us.
