God's Existance.
November 16, 2009
An Atheist Professor of Philosophy speaks to his Class on the Problem Science has with GOD, The ALMIGHTY.
He asks one of his New Christian Students to stand and . . ....
Professor : You are a Christian, aren't you, son ? Student : Yes, sir. Professor : So you Believe in GOD ? Student : Absolutely, sir. Professor : Is GOD Good ? Student : Sure. Professor : Is GOD ALL - POWERFUL ? Student : Yes. Professor : My Brother died of Cancer even though he Prayed to GOD to Heal him.
Most of us would attempt to Help Others who are ill.
But GOD didn't.
How is this GOD Good then ? Hmm ?
( Student is silent )
Professor : You can't answer, can you ?
Let's start again, Young Fella.
Is GOD Good ? Student : Yes. Professor : Is Satan good ? Student : No. Professor : Where does Satan come from ? Student : From .. . . GOD . .. . Professor : That's right.
Tell me son, is there evil in this World ? Student : Yes. Professor : Evil is everywhere, isn't it ?
The Most Unique PersonJesus Christ is often compared to other prophets and teachers, but He is the most unique person to ever live. Everything from His birth to after His death was miraculous and set Him apart from everyone else. Jesus was born by a virgin -- a natural impossibility. Before His mother Mary was married, she was told by an angel she would give birth to the Son of God. When she asked him how this could be, he answered, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God." Just as promised, the virgin Mary gave birth to Jesus Christ, the most incredible person to ever have lived.An Amazing LifeJesus' life was just as amazing as His birth. At 30 years old, He went out into the cities of Israel and began teaching and healing people. The Bible records that He was different from other preachers, for "the people were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes." Likewise, there was no disease...[More]

4 Steps to God
October 10, 2009
1. God Loves You!The Bible says, "God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life"The problem is that . . .2. All of us have done, said or thought things that are wrong. This is called sin, and our sins have separated us from God.The Bible says “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” God is perfect and holy and our sins separate us from God forever. The Bible says “The wages of sin is death.”The good news is that, about 2,000 years ago,3. God sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins.Jesus is the Son of God. He lived a sinless life and then died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. “God demonstrates His own love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.”Jesus rose from the dead and now He lives in heaven with God His Father. He offers us the gift of eternal life -- of living forever with Him in heaven if we accept Him as...
The Dying Church In America & Thriving Church Overseas
October 9, 2009
We all can see it; we all secretly ask our self "What can I do to make a difference?" The Church in America is dying! The truth is not being preached and taught from our pulpits. Our congregations don't want to hear it. How do I get through to them, without them leaving the church? We all know that the Lord won souls through compassion, and not condemnation. We know that our job as a pastor is to lead, guide, feed, and protect our congregation. And for the most part we do. Except for one area...Protect, we are not called to protect them from the world, but from the evil one. Too many times we will advise a person put under our care that causes them to be disobedient to the Gospel of Christ! I have seen this so many times! Our responsibility to our congregations has not changed just because the times have! We compromise the teachings of Christ, where pastors in other places do not, and will not. What am I talking about? Mercy! We all know, or at least should know, that our ministries are to be first and foremost to the communities in which we...[More]
