More Powerful

The expression "More Powerful" is used a lot in describing a product to be sold. It could be a breakfast cereal, a medication, or a brand new automobile.

The breakfast cereal will give you more energy if it is more powerful, and if the medication is more powerful, you'll be healthier.

What about your Christian life: how powerful is it? Are you reading your Bible every day? It's important that you do, then you'll be More Powerful in your witnessing to the stranger you encounter.

Time and Space

For years man has had a desire to conquer time and space, and so far man has been able to reach out to the moon and has actually walked around on its surface.

When God created the heavens and the earth He gave us a twenty-four hour day. However, it never seems like enough time. Maybe some day we will be able to conquer time in the same way we were able to conquer space.

One exciting thought we have to look forward to is time will be eternal when Christ returns. Then we will have all the time we need for there will be no night there (Rev. 22:5).

God's Website Has No Viruses

People who use computers aren't always on the alert for any type of virus that might penetrate their computer. They usually install an anti-virus program to prevent that from happening.

If God our father had a website it would not be possible for a virus to exist because a virus is evil. In life, Satan who is evil, would be considered a virus. So we should not allow him to enter our lives.

And this is the reverse of our association with God Our Father. Because He is good there cannot be any virus in God's website. There is with Satan's website because he is the god of bad and evil in this world.

Stressed Out

When you're stressed out everything you do becomes an effort. You don't want to talk to anyone and you don't want anyone to talk to you. You just want to be left alone. But, you have to get on with your life and you have to do it soon, you can't go on like this forever.

Then you remember that there is a God in your life and He is called the God of all comfort mentioned in 2 Corinthians 1:3. Because He is the God of comfort, we know he has the ability to eliminate that stress in our life and he will do it if we ask him to.

In Need

In a person's lifetime it is inevitable that there will come a time when the nation's economy will play a major role in his or her life. We live our lives believing everything will go smoothly for us. However, as we encounter health and financial problems now and then, we soon realize that life is not always perfect.

Fortunately we have a God whose Son Jesus Christ had performed miracles of healing when He was on this earth. Today, when we are IN NEED with a health problem or a financial problem, we can call upon that same Jesus who will listen to our prayers. Whatever our NEED is, we have His Word that assures us that our NEEDS will be met (Phil 4:19).
