I refuse to live a useless life. You know what I mean. A “wood, hay, and stubble” life (1 Corinthians 3:10-15). How about you?
Light in the dimness of my soul
The truths of Scripture, the life of Christ, the discoveries of science – all should combine to lift us heavenward. Yet we remain strangely anxious. Our days are swamped by the mundane; our nights are swallowed by insomnia. Seldom do we know true restedness. Yet God would tell us, “Be still before me; wait patiently. Trust in me, and I will give you rest.”
The Identity Game
Let’s play a game. Identify the Animal: What kind of animal is this? Just above the mouth a long snout that can drag the ground: Long neck that puts the head way up into the tree branches: Elongated body with no feet, slithering on the ground: Slimy creature of the sea with tentacles all around: […]
Making God
Are you following a god made after your own understanding – or Creator God the One and Only? Are you making “god”? Would you like to die and find yourself kneeling before a different God than the one you had been following while on earth? God is calling us to Himself. Are you seeking God?
John 17
John 16:33. “These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.” John 17 New American Standard Bible (NASB) Source: biblegateway.com [Note: Links below take you off this site to Biblegateway] The High Priestly […]
Isaiah 55:6-7. Turn to the LORD
Turn to the LORD and pray to Him, now that He is near. Let the wicked leave their way of life and change their way of thinking. Let them turn to the LORD, our God; He is merciful and quick to forgive. – Isaiah 55:6-7 Good News Translation (GNT)
Love forgives others
Love forgives. Plain and simple. Nothing less. Is your love acting, or “failing”? 1 Peter 4:8 Above all, have fervent and unfailing love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins [it overlooks unkindness and unselfishly seeks the best for others]. Got to have it: “have fervent and unfailing love”. Have it. Have […]
Body by God
Understanding my life’s Care and Content label. It’s like I have a tag on me – Body by God.
About Nabeel Qureshi
Nabeel Qureshi, formerly a follower of Islam’s Qadyani Ahmadiyya – was an example of extreme Christian faith. He had a very dramatic journey from Islam to Christianity.
My faith
“I assure you and most solemnly say to you, whoever does not receive and welcome the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all.” – Mark 10:15 Excerpt from: More Than Conquerors – In Christ My faith is in Jehovah God, Yahweh, the great “I AM,” the God of forgiveness and […]
About past sins and being forgiven now
The very clear message of Christ is that sinners can be changed when they repent in sincerity and truth, choosing to become God’s true followers. You can have all your sinful past forgiven by God, and be totally accepted into His Forever Family immediately, both here on earth now – and in heaven where we are declared forgiven in His Courts. Don’t be fooled into hell by thinking your sin is legitimate before God.
When I reconcile with God everything changes!
When I reconcile with God, everything changes. Count the ways….
Oh How Marvelous
Marvelous grace. To a sinner, what else could be so marvelous? God’s grace, that “un-merited” bestowing of a blessing on me. Just because of Him. Just because He chooses to do so within His Heavenly legal system.
I am a Christian because…
I am a Christian because… the Bible is too good to have been a fabrication of man. It had to have been orchestrated – by God. I am a Christian because… of tangible evidence of the divinity of Christ. He fulfilled over 360 prophecies written about the coming Messiah – way too many to have been completed by chance. Christ was God in human form. I am a Christian because…
Pray for salvation
Excerpt from the article: God Speaking Repent now. There is no magic formula or speech. Just speak your heart to Me, sincerely and truthfully. I can hear your voice. I can hear your thoughts. Direct your heart to Me — something like this: Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner. I believe you […]
Jesus declares He is God in 7 “I am” Statements
Seven “I am” statements of Jesus where He made it clear He claimed to be God – and Savior of all sinners who repent.
Our Perfect God and Our Response to Him
…using BibleGateway search in the Amplified Bible (AMP) Our Perfect God Job 33:4 “The Spirit of God has made me, And the breath of the Almighty gives me life. Job 11:7 “Can you discover the depths of God? Can you [by searching] discover the limits of the Almighty [ascend to His heights, extend to His […]
Fight the good fight
What does it mean to “fight the good fight”? What fight are we in, as believers? Of course, if we are not truly following Christ, then it doesn’t change things one way or the other – whether we fight the good fight or not. But, for those who follow Christ sincerely, it is incumbent upon us to fight, as 1 Timothy 1:18-19 shows us.
Why all my pain and sorrow, my sickness and worries?
…why all my pain and sorrow, sickness and suffering, depressed feelings and worries? It’s from the Fall of Man. The Fall of Man, falling away from God and into sin, is recorded in Genesis 3. We live to see the effects all the way throughout history, all the way into our own times – and […]
What will you do with Jesus?
What will you do with Jesus?…a series on Jesus with excerpts from each article.
Make judgements all day long
In modern day English, the Bible does not say, Do not judge. I hear this a lot. But what the Bible actually means is, “Do not condemn others”. We are to be known by our love, and love is not condemning. Come on Christians! Don’t be known by how condemning you are of those around […]
Hell by God
…a series about Hell – which was created by God for the banishment of Lucifer.
Penalty vs Effect
Excerpt from: My Heinous Heinous Ways Don’t confuse the “penalty” of sin (if you stand before God or the government) – with the “effect” of sin (the pain and anguish inflicted). Yes, in God’s Heavenly Court any degree of sin is worthy of condemnation, so in that sense, it’s all bad. However, any specific sin […]
Our Unmitigated God
The God who put together the Bible – has unmitigated force and strength, love, mercy and grace, holiness and justice. It will never work to tell God, “Lighten up!” Nothing mitigates this God. Absolutely nothing will ever soften, mollify or “fix” Him. Because? Because He is perfect and complete in everything that He is. The wonder of it all is that God wants us, sinners, to be with Him in His Kingdom.
Who is this God?
Most people believe there is a God. What about you? Who is your god? Is He truly the God of the Universe? Or, have you just sort of ended-up with this made-up creation of yours that you call “my God”? Or maybe you’ve allowed some other people to sort of lure you into their version of god? If I end up following some “god” of my own making – how stupid will that be in the end when I am face to face with the One who is really God?
Sincerity and Truth
Was there sincerity in your repentance? Was there truth? Is there fidelity to Jesus in your faith?
Get a grip!
“…do this well, fearless in your struggle, keeping a firm grip on your faith and on yourself. After all, this is a fight we’re in.” – 1 Timothy 1:verse 18 The Message (MSG) Life is a fierce battle to the death, a struggle to win against all the forces against us. Keep yourself strong in […]
Right on the edge of trusting him forever
God forgives all wrongdoings of all repentant sinners, no exception. So don’t sit on the fence. God wants all of us to come to Him. Repent and be saved.
Balancing-out my faith with my practice
Coming to God on your own terms is like… careening into court dipsy drunk to fight a DUI offense and thinking the judge will forgive you. The reality of God’s universe is — it’s not your universe. It behooves us to seek after God and get His word on things. Our thoughts are not His thoughts. My thoughts will not be consulted by God on That Day.
Ask the questions where you’ll get the truth
Funny how we tend to believe what we’re going to believe – no matter what others say. Been there? The same is true with our beliefs about God. Eternity at stake! Why not inquire more deeply and seek to know the truth about God? Dive in, there is plenty of evidence to convince a sincere mind. After all, we’ll spend an eternity with our belief!
