One Christmas, my Mama gave me a record sung by Don Francisco. I kept it for about two years and never listened to it. One day as I was cleaning the living room, I heard a voice say, 'If your Mama ever asks you how you like the record, what will you tell her'. I listened to the record. The song that ministered to this prodigal daughter the most and caused me to go back home to my Father God's house was this song, 'I Don't Care Where You've Been Sleeping'. I about wore the record out that day.

I first heard and listened to Don Francisco from a British friend who is since died in the year 2016 in Kenya. Don"s songs are really inspiring and have very strong messages just as Jesus said them. May God continue to keep him and his Ministry, here in Kenya, we are blessed by his songs.

My mom always told me-You make your bed..You lay in it. I was at a horrible low point in my life with no where to go. I didn't think I could turn to my mom, because she'd say--You made your bed now lay in it. But one day I heard this song...and I just cried and cried. God knows where we made our beds...but He loves us, forgives us and sets us free! Thank you Lord!!

I am sad to see that someone can take such a beautiful concept of love and declare it an insult. Anyone who has ever chosen to open themselves up to that spiritual realm, to feel the need to have the weight of guilt or shame lifted from them by a power greater than themself, knows what is meant when he speaks of darkness, and how incredible it is to know we are loved even when we feel unlovable.

My mother brought me and my brother up with a daily dose from school with Don Fransisco (lived in a non-religious home) so that was our input from age 7-13 of the scripture. As a too-soon-to-be-30 yr old I can still say that Don's music outside of religious meaning are still beautiful. One of the most successful artists in projecting their love of what they were writing; saw him live in Olathe, CO in 2003 and that was as walking home from a 1st grade test day well done:)

It doesn't matter how badly we screw up, Jesus already gave His life to overpay for it all. There is therefore now no condemnation (Rom 8:1). He wants to wash away all of your fears, doubts, sorrows, regrets, all of it. He has already paid the price and forgiven your every mistake, past, present, and future! God is saying to you right now and forevermore the simple truth: "I love you"You are loved far more than you can even comprehend

The time we exist in now in which no nation will ever rule the whole planet is in fact the end time according to the bible. I am a sinner, but I see no fault in Jesus or the bible. I believe Jesus is eventually and soon to return and when he does I hope my house is in order. If you really want to know the love of jesus if you truly seek him he will reveal himself if you pray & study the word. You wont see him with eyes, but you'll know he's real, the same way you know when your in love . Peace!

@Kimtab08 God's love is unconditional. It is called "agape." God loves you, no matter what you do and whether or not you turn to Him. When we understand His love, then we will want to turn to Him, no matter what. "Perfect love casts out all fear." We don't ever have to be afraid of God, because He loves us just the way we are. But He wants us to have a relationship with Him, so that we can learn to live blessed lives with the help of His grace!

"I already gave My life to set you free" If the punishment for our sins is eternity in hell, the same should be for Jesus if He truly took the punishment for us. Instead, He's up in heaven as if nothing happened. And how is it truly a sacrifice if Jesus is God and can just come back to life again? It's hard to be grateful for a sacrifice that isn't really a sacrifice from a God that can't die.

God's love is not logical, but his judgment is. A "righteous person" is unable to atone for my and your sins, but a "righteous God," (not allah) is able to do just that. Using our thinking as a reference to determine what makes sense is the wrong place to start. Our understanding is limited. God's understanding is unlimited and completely unlike anything we as humans can comprehend. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. Salvation from sin is found in no one else but Him. Blessings!

The wages of sin is death. Something must die when sin is committed. Thats just how it works. So christ died so we might live eternally if we accept him. He took our place if we accept him.

Discern4 The Bible says that the penalty for sin is death. And Jesus died as a man to pay the price for our sins. He payed the penalty of death. Because of his death we can be covered by the blood of the lamb so that we can be saved even though we are sinners. I believe Jesus as a man was covered by His own blood as well because He Himself never sinned. That's why He could be raised from the dead. His own death saved Him.

@Discern4 This is not the place to teach foundational Christian doctrines but let me help you with something. Jesus was not only God's Son (2nd member of the triune Godhead)... but He was also man - the Bible calls it a "mystery" as it is a little too much for finite man to get a hold of... He was fully, God... yet fully, man! He came as a man for one thing... to die in our place (under God's Covenant) AS A MAN. (He did not die spiritually as God cannot die - as some erroneosly teach). (see nxt)
