Discovering Truth - Verse of the Day

Jesus is Alive!

For personal Christianity, the resurrection is all-important. There is a vital interrelation to the existence of Christianity itself, as well as to the individual believer, in the message of the Gospel. The Swiss theologian, Karl Barth, said, “Do you want to believe in the living Christ? We may believe in Him only if we believe in His corporeal resurrection. This is the content of the New Testament. We are always free to reject it, but not to modify it, nor to pretend that the New Testament tells something else. We may accept or refuse the message, but we may not change it.” Christianity as a system of truth collapses if the resurrection is rejected. That Jesus rose from the dead is one of the foundation stones of our faith.

Daily Prayer

Lord, let me live today with the constant thought that You are alive!

This means that we have to show our confidence and belief in Christ, before He comes into our hearts. He knows when we want to trick Him or not. So don't bother being cunning! Because wisdom comes from the Lord! So, if our human efforts cannot make faith to work, what can? (Zechariah 4:6) Our confidence and belief in Jesus! We just have to say, "Jesus, take care of this for me. I don't want to any more. I can't do it by my own power." Acknowledging that you can't do it alone, gives you the first step forward. Then comes the hard bit. When I mean hard, I mean HARD. Because most people people fall away aft...

Humble Is Best!

Direct my footsteps according to your Word; let no sin rule over me. Psalm 119:133 | NIV We need to let God's Word rule our lives, directing our footsteps on our journey through life.

Black = Normal post Bold = Question "Call unto Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." - Jeremiah 33:3. Many people either don't believe in God, or become atheists, partly because of this question: Why doesn't God answer some of my prayers? Answer: This is because of your heart. Before you ask this question you must ask yourself, am I pure? Have I sinned by mistake and need forgiveness? Or are my thoughts starting to make my light darken? Ask yourself these questions and their surely will be an answer. But why must I ask myself these questions?
