Spotting the Puffins
The Rock is impressive, but it is also surrounded by life. Do you know where to look for Tufted Puffins?

Haystack Rock is a volcanic monolith. "The Rock," as it is known locally, appears to be rock solid. But, HayStack Rock is gradually eroding into the sea. It will not last forever. However, there is something that will last forever... you. The question is, will you be with God or separated from God? This is important because everything good comes from God (www.AJ83.com/good). So without God you have nothing good. Think about what that means. Now the BIG question: who spends eternity with God? The answer: those who are perfect. Are you perfect? Here's a quick test: Ever told a lie? Have you ever taken something that does not belong to you? Have you murdered anyone? Jesus said that if you've been angry at someone, maybe called them fool, you have murdered them in your heart (Matthew 5:22). These are just three of the Ten Commandments. You are not perfect. Romans 3:23 reveals the truth: "For all have sinned" [broken God's laws]. Romans 6:23 reveals the consequences: "the wages of sin is death."
But Jesus paid the penalty you've earned for breaking God's laws "while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8) Repent (turn away from sin). Trust this is true and God will give you new life. You will be free from the penalty for sin and will be with God for eternity. ...more
