Need Him: Finding God


John 14:1-6
1"Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me." 2"In my Father's house are many mansion: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you." 3"And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." 4"And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know." 5"Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?" 6"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."


Something is not complete between you and God, but you are not sure what you are missing. Perhaps you have had these thoughts:
I try to live a good life
I try to be a good person
I obey the Ten Commandments (mostly)
I am nice and don't steal or kill.

You are good person. You try to be the best you can be, try to do what is right most of the time and try to do more good thing than bad. So why do you still feel this void?

You may even have tried more drastic ways of dulling your pain. Pain can be drinking, buying new things, going to fun places, meeting the right crowd, etc.. whatever you called it.

And for all this trying, there is still something missing. So what do you try next?

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...

Need Him: Finding God

Colossians 1:15-20 15"Who is the image of the invisible God, the first born of every creature:" 16"For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:" 17"And he is before all things, and by him all things consist." 18"And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence." 19"For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;" 20"And, having mad peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven." Maybe its time to try God. Not "God" the philosophy. GOD, the living Creator of the universe. More than a concept, he is a Person, a Deity. He is someone who kn...

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...
