Keep God First!

"Purify me from my sins, and I will be clean. Wash me and I will be whiter than snow" - Psalm 51:7 
We all need to be cleansed. Now, if you are a Christian, I would advise you to still keep reading. God never wanted us to end up in Hell. That place of doom. He wanted us to enjoy the world! Worship and fellowship with Him! But, we wouldn't have had the power to defeat Satan. Jesus dying for us is the greatest gift ever! As Jesus said, there are only two ways to live. On Jesus' side, or on the Devil' side. We as Christian are made in the same image as God, spiritually! Which means in Heaven we all look the same! Like God (Jesus)! No wonder Paul said: "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." - Galatians 3:28. This because we are likewise with Jesus! The New Jerusalem. And there are so many blessings we have in Christ. And, like in wars today, there is an enemy. Satan (also known as the Devil or Lucifer). He is very jealous of us, and wishes he had never tempted Adam in the first place. So he distracts us. With things we make our idols. Not only gods and statues, but, things that we love more than God. This is what the Devil can use to distract. He is cunning, sneaky and clever (Genesis 3:1) but he is not powerful! He can only twist and change what God has created! Change richness into poverty, turn our lives into a facsimile of sham etcetera. This is why God should remain our God! Nothing should replace Him! Like a wise pastor said: "If Jesus is not driving the car, He is not in the car" The car is life. If Jesus is not first in your life, He is not in it. Keep God First!

Pondering the Bible: How can a good God allow evil?

""The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?" Jeremiah 17:9 NKJV http://bible.com/114/jer.17.9.nkjv Q:  How can a good God allow evil?  This is the question I get from many Christianity skeptics. Well, let’s think all the way back to the beginning. God gave Adam and Eve a choice. To remain in His goodness, and enjoy a peaceful, free life, or go their own way and define good and evil for yourself. We all know what happened. The point I’m trying to make is,  man chose to do evil.  If you decide to deliberately burn yourself by putting your hand in an oven, you can’t blame the cook for that. It’s the same thing!  Man chose to do evil.  Well, why can’t God get rid of evil?  Do you want to remove your existence? Well, God doesn’t. You see, if God removed evil, He would have to remove man in the process, as man is evil. But He found a way to remove evil from us without wiping us out. He sent Jesus to die for u...

Acting on God's Word....

"Do not merely listen to the Word and deceive yourselves. practice it and do what it says." - James 1:22 Today I wanted to talk to you about the Bible's power. Many atheists and other non-Christians believe that the Bible is not true, but THEY haven't meditated on the Word that they heard from Church, study etc. Let's take a look at what Jesus said: " They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.   49  But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.'" Any questions? OK. But HOW do I 'practice and do' what God's Word says?  You make sure that whatever it says, has effect on your life. What I mean to say is, make sur...

Pondering the Bible: How to deal with anger

"Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires." James 1:20 NLT http://bible.com/116/jas.1.20.nlt Let’s admit it, we all deal with anger sometimes. But some more than most. When we do get angry, we get this overwhelming sense of bitterness and malice that is sometimes uncontrollable. This brings us to today’s question: How do you deal with anger?  Well, satan will always keep on trying to do things to make you angry. And as soon as you give in and never let it go, you have failed and satan can hold you back.  Here’s how to deal with it:  The Bible says that when you are angry you should not let it carry over to the next morning.  "And "don’t sin by letting anger control you." Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry," Ephesians 4:26 NLT http://bible.com/116/eph.4.26.nlt This means you may only be angry for some time. But I wouldn’t for long:  "Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be...
