CAN SCIENCE PROVE GOD IS REAL?

CAN SCIENCE PROVE GOD IS REAL? What is the difference between an atheist and a Christian? Both may believe in the Big Bang theory, both may believe that there was matter, force was exerted to make that matter go Bang, explode, that matter grew into more matter that ended up creating the universe, earth, and man. This was the beginning of what we call time. An atheist would acknowledge that […]

LISTEN CAREFULLY

“LISTEN CAREFULLY” I listen carefully to what God the Lord is saying, for he speaks peace to his people, his faithful ones. But let them not return to their foolish ways. -Psalm 85:8 William Wordsworth, in his poem “The Excursion,” talked about meeting a small boy holding to his ear a seashell “to which, in silence hushed, his very soul listened intensely.” Even though the boy lived far from the […]

EVERYONE RUNS, ONE WINS. RUN TO WIN!

EVERYONE RUNS, ONE WINS. RUN TO WIN! 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 [24] Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.

Never Stop Learning

Never Stop Learning Mark 4:25 “To those who are open to my teaching, more understanding will be given. But to those who are not listening, even what they have will be taken away from them.” People often talk about “where they received their education.” They usually mean “where they went to school.” Speaking of receiving an education in these terms suggests that an education is complete once graduation has been […]

Pray For These In 2018!

1) Pray that the church would double in 2018. “Whoever claims to live in [Jesus] must walk as Jesus did” (1 John 2:6). If every one of us makes another disciple in the first six months of 2018 the church will double! Therefore, we must pray for each one of us to make a disciple! We may not “lead all the studies” or do everything “personally” or even “mentor/disciple” the person […]

WE ALL STILL NEED THE GREAT PHYSICIAN

WE ALL STILL NEED THE GREAT PHYSICIAN Matthew 9:12-13 When he heard [the Pharisees’ criticism], Jesus replied, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor—sick people do.” Then he added, “Now go and learn the meaning of this Scripture: ‘I want you to be merciful; I don’t want your sacrifices.’ For I have come to call sinners, not those who think they are already good enough.” When Jesus ate with the tax […]

WHAT IS A BALANCED LIFE?

WHAT IS A BALANCED LIFE? Mark 3:20-35 NIV [20] Then Jesus entered a house, and again a crowd gathered, so that he and his disciples were not even able to eat. [21] When his family heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, “He is out of his mind.” [22] And the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem said, “He is possessed […]

Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened. [8] For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds.” God is seeking people who will give themselves to earnest, persevering prayer.
