Christians Endure and Survive Because of Hope
One summer day my family was lazily floating in individual inner tubes down the Clearwater River. It was the perfect day and the perfect time, and the slow moving river would offer a little excitement every once in a while with a tiny rapid or two. We’d hit those rapids with excitement, shoot down the river for a couple hundred yards, and then settle back down to the gentle flow of normalcy. The perfect day was suddenly interrupted by horrible screams of animals piercing our peace from somewhere upriver.
Another Good Whiner Angry at God and Asking Why He’s Gonna DieEveryone of us must die, and before death, you can be confident that suffering will come to each of us. It doesn’t matter whether you belong to the world, the Kingdom, the Law or the Servitude, whether you are destined for great things, whether you are faithful and righteous, whether you are “good people” or whether you are wicked… it’s gonna happen!
When our eleven children were young I accepted no argument, I was the boss, they were to obey my authority. The meaning of the word authority is obscure. We only understand the word in part because all we see is the tip of the iceberg-like meaning. The deeper meaning is far below the surface and much larger than we may realize. Who is an author? What does an author create? From a Christian perspective we know God is the author of all. His authority is accepted on faith. We stand firm and know – God rules.
Could History Be Repeating Itself?With all that’s going on in the world today, I can’t help but think about what God says in His Word concerning the end times and what will take place before He calls His final judgement. In looking around at how people perceive world views and seem to have no room for God in their lives, I can’t help but wonder…could history be repeating itself as God predicted it would? With all the fair warnings that the Lord has given us to either shape up or ship out, so many people are choosing to jump ship because of greed, selfishness, envy, lust for sex and money, positions in life, self importance, and in general ungodliness at every corner. We see it in all the mass media. We hear it in the music and our reactions are ones of apathy on the whole concept. Anyone who has not come to the Lord just doesn’t care how all these things are greatly effecting future generations. As long as it makes you happy and it feels good, it must be ok. But, on the contrary, we are being fed nothing but lies by the enemy and the world is being taken for the ride of it’s life. You can just read it in all the newspapers that history in deed is repeating itself. It’s not anything new, it’s just new to us.
God is Still in Charge!I have noticed that the most beautiful sunrises are in stormy weather. At least where I live, it’s quite a spiritual experience to watch the sun rise behind a menacing storm cloud. What a message from our Father!
An Evening With An Enlightened ManThis is a parable about how we limit ourselves to the extreme when we forget our spiritual nature.
Each of us, and all of us have lost so many loved ones to the world. Every day brings new pains and forces us to make changes in our lives as people we have held dear to our hearts make the choice to walk away from it all and have the normal life of the worldly.
