Need Him: Finding God

Day 1
Revelation 3:20-22
20"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me." 21"To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne." 22"He hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches."

Why am I here?
How do I beat this loneliness?
What makes my life so hard?
Where is that one special relationship?

In the moment, you feel like something's missing, something's wrong in your world. Like perhaps there's something you have not done, or someone you don't know but are supposed to.

At times you feel you have found it, perhaps in a love relationship, but that feeling never seems to last. Every relationship, even good ones, leave you with this hole in your heart.

Something isn't right, but you cannot find it or fix it. So you keep looking, trying things.

The Greatest Story Ever Told

Wise men 1 says, "The ancients said this star would appear*" Wise men 2 says, "it means the King of the Jews is born." Wise men 3 says, "We must send an envoy to worship Him." *Numbers 24:17 A great caravan was prepared and it would be a long and dangerous journey. The wise men followed the star, bringing gifts, but let's go back to the beginning. Before earth was formed, a great plan was set in motion, involving you! In outer space was a power source composed of three distinct personalities- the holy scriptures call them the Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost (God the Holy Spirit). 1 John 5:7 "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." (KJV) The Word created the universe , The Bible says, " In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made" J

What does the Bible say to do with a rebellious child?

The child who exhibits a rebellious streak may be doing so for a variety of reasons. Harsh, unloving, and critical parenting will nearly always result in rebellion of some sort. In addition, a certain amount of rebellion against parents is natural in teenagers who are slowly pulling away from their families in the process of establishing lives and identities of their own. Fortunately, it is also true that God has made children who and what they are. He loves them, and He has not left parents without resources to meet the challenge. There are biblical principles that address dealing with the rebellious, strong-willed child with grace. First, ( Proverbs 22:6 ) tells us to “train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not turn from it.” For all children, the way they should go is toward God. Teaching children in God’s Word is crucial for all children, who must understand who God is and how to best serve Him. With the strong-willed child, understanding what

Children of Light

"You, brethren, are not in darkness...You are all sons of light." 1 Thessalonians 5:4-5 The Born-again Christian sees life not as a blurred, confused, meaningless mass, but as something planned and purposeful. His eyes have been opened to spiritual truth. Jesus said that one of the reason He had come to earth was to preach "recovery of sight to the blind" (Luke 4:18). By nature we are all spiritually blind because of sin. But the Spirit of God helps us see our sin and our helplessness and show us God's redeeming grace in Christ. The Spirit reveals the truth of Jesus declaration: "I am the light of the world. He who follows me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life" (John 8:12). We are no longer in the dark-we know where we came from, we know why we are here, and we know where we are going. In the midst of a world living in spiritual darkness, walk as a child of the light!

Praise the Lord!
