Essential Living for God

In the New Testament, however, Jesus and his apostles used oils to protect and heal the sick, and for cleansing, while others brought oils to Jesus as a demonstration of their love for him. Let's get back to the essentials.

If I and You Believe , Why do we Then Doubt?

Sometimes when I would finish giving the sermon people would come up to me an say wow thank you that was a great sermon. Until a friend of my and a colleague came up to me and said when I listen to you speak, you always sound so certain about everything. Do you ever doubt?” I told him I thought that was a very important question. My answer was short and simple. Yes, I do have doubts. I don’t talk about them very much, but I doubt every day. (After I told this story on Sunday morning, a very godly man was concerned about that statement — did I really mean it and that person happened to be my senior pastor at that time? Absolutely, I said. I have doubts and questions that I cannot answer every single day.) I don’t know how a person can be a Christian and not have doubts from time to time. Faith requires doubt in order to be faith.

Sicerely,

Perfect Timing

God has a perfect time to turn your life around. No amount of worrying or sleepless nights will change that time. Don't let the negative thoughts make you think otherwise. Always remember God's timing is always perfect and on time. Once you know this all anxiety leaves you and all doubts are erased. Because you know the promise is coming and makes waiting that much easier.

Oppressed Christians

The oppressed Christians around the world that are being killed just for professing their faith and being followers of Jesus Christ. Nobody talks about them instead the news media oppresses the news. However, the media does not mention the other religion that are causing the harm. The media is biased against the Christians but openly promote other religions and the rights they deserve and protections. Why don't they do the same for the Christian community. We as the church of Christ must stand up for Christ it's the least we can do
Since He gave His life for us. Don't worry for life on the contrary if you shall lose it for Christ's case you are to rejoice because great shall be your reward in heaven. The Bible states it very clearly those that persecute Christians are an abomination to our God. There is no other name than Jesus Christ. God bless you all. As fellow brothers and sisters protect each other with your life. There is no greater reward that to give your life for another.

The Power of The Living Hope

The apostle Peter wrote to the Church in Asia Minor after the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus, and set himself to write something encouraging to the beleaguered Christians of Asia Minor. This is almost the same as we are starting to experience here in the United States persecution against the Christians and for all intended matter all around the world. Hold on and be steadfast in your faith for great shall be your reward. Blessed are those who's Hope is in the Lord.

For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.

John 12:5 (KJV)
Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
