Choice

From the beginning of time and the creation of the Garden of Eden, God has allowed both men and women the right of choice. The first choice Adam and Eve made has affected man ever since that time. Because that was when sin entered the world when they made the wrong choice and ate from the forbidden tree.

Today, we too, make choices all the day long. Some are good and some are not so good. The most important one of all is to make the choice to accept Christ as your personal Saviour, because when you do, eternal life will be yours when Christ returns.

Happiness

One person was heard to say, "with all the problems I have, how can I possibly be happy?" For one thing, the economy frustrates me when I think about it and know there is nothing I can do that will change it.

What is it that makes some people concentrate on their problems, when they should be focusing on the cure? After all, the cure should not be all that difficult. Basically, there are only two things you have to do to overcome any existing problem.

To achieve happiness, the two simple rules are to be considerate of others and refrain from concentrating on yourself. Expect less from the other person and give more of yourself. It's as simple as that.

Growing in Faith

What does it take to get faith to grow? And what does it take to make weak faith strong? Actually, weak faith can be made strong if we will take the time to work at it.

One of the positive attitudes is to look ahead, in fact, Luke 9:62 tells us that we are not to look back. Maybe we can make an exception to this however, because, we have to look back if we want to see how our faith has grown.

If we will be observant of our life's past experiences, we will see how God has provided for us. We will see how God has answered our prayers. And through all of this, we will find this to be a definite faith growing experience.

He's Alive

When a catastrophe happens and it is a tornado or an earthquake, or it may even be a tsunami, a search will begin immediately for survivors. When they are found, we praise God and exclaim, "they're alive".

Three days after Jesus Christ was crucified, we hear Mary and the disciples exclaim, "He's alive." How could this happen?

The only explanation for this is that God the Father raised His Son from the tomb which completed His plan of salvation for you and me. See chapter 20 verses one through nine in the book of John. Yes! He was alive back then and "He's Alive" today. Do you know Him?

The Fifth of 5 Easter Miracles

It is up to each and every person to accept Jesus Christ as their Saviour, believing in His crucifixion His Death and His Resurrection to save them. Then, the instant Christ returns, the miracle of EVERLASTING LIFE will begin.

The Fourth of 5 Easter Miracles

We know God uses all kinds of people in all kinds of ways to fulfill His will. God's will was for His Son Jesus Christ to be crucified. When Pontius Pilate (the governor) said he was ready to release Jesus, God allowed the crowd outside to demand that His Son be crucified. Then forty days after the resurrection, Jesus ascended into heaven. Immediately sitting down on the right side of God the Father, He began interceding, not only for the crowd that had demanded He be crucified, but for all the born-again Christians in the years to come.

The Third of 5 Easter Miracles

On the first day of the week, at early dawn, Mary Magdelene and Mary the mother of James and Salome brought spices which they had prepared to anoint the body of Jesus, which was their custom. Then they said amongst themselves, "Who will roll away the stone?" (Mark 16:3). When they arrived they found the stone was miraculously rolled away from the opening of the tomb.

After Jesus was resurrected, it's possible that the stone was still in place outside the tomb. And later, the angel (who spoke to the women) removed it, so everyone coming to the tomb would be able to look inside and see it was empty.
