The Rapture was an integral part of the faith for the early church. It is still a basic tenet of the faith. Are you yourself looking forward to The Rapture with great anticipation?
Passing on through to the other side
When you pass away, you pass through a doorway, sort of, and — whoops, there you are, ready or not… kneeling before God. You have reached your final destination — a timeless realm prepared by God. Ready for that?
Jesus watches over you very carefully
“When winds are raging o’er the upper ocean,
And billows wild contend with angry roar,
‘Tis said, far down beneath the wild commotion,
That peaceful stillness reigneth evermore.”
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.” – Excerpt from: More Than Meets the Eye, by Richard A. Swenson, MD.
A prayer of praise to God
Father, thank you for this day, for this another start. You are my Hope. You are my defender. You are the anchor of my soul. And I rejoice in you.
Finding Perfect Peace
Are you struggling with something and finding no peace? Go to the Lord in prayer. There’s a whole lot’a stuff that can keep us struggling! Life throws curve balls. And we’re not all that perfect. We all have issues. Things can get out of balance real quickly.
God Is My Refuge and Strength
In the midst of it all, I remind myself that I am born again. I am following Him. Each day I will acknowledge His presence in my life. I will daily live in the knowledge of what God has changed me into. The Lord has promised good to me.
Death and Dying
As a follower of Christ… I am not afraid of death. I am not afraid of dying. My faith is in Christ. But the terrors of death are real (Psalm 23:4).
God Is Not Distant
God is not some far away, distant-from-you, dis-concerned bubble of energy, inside some aura of mist on a mysterious planet far far away in a different galaxy. Star Trek might lead one to believe that! But the Bible says that Creator God created us to walk and talk with us, to commune with us, like He did with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:8).
