Choose Life

Choose Life

I have set before you life and death; ...Therefore choose life.

Deuteronomy 30:19

"If God were to remove all evil from our world, it would mean that the essence of "humanness" would be destroyed. We would become robots. " - Billy Graham

What does he mean by this?

If God eliminated evil by programming us to perform only good acts, we would lose this distinguishing mark--the ability to make choices. We would not longer be free moral agents. We would be reduced to the status of robots.

Let's take this a step further. Robot do not love. God created us with the capacity to love. Love is based upon one's right to choose to love. We cannot force others to love us. We can make them serve us or obey us. But true love is founded upon one's freedom to choose to respond.

Give the choice, we would rather be responsible for our actions than be a robot without responsibility! Are you using your ability to make decisions wisely--and using it for God?

How can we trust God when we are facing Unemployment, Foreclosure or Bankruptcy?

The loss of employment or income is one of the most distressing events in life, especially for those supporting a family. Man or Woman facing unemployment, foreclosure or bankruptcy, there can be additional doubts about God's goodness and His promises to provide for His children. How are the people to react to these catastrophic life events? What Biblical principles can we apply to the loss of a home or a job and benefits. Work is described in the Bible as beneficial in that it provides for our needs; Proverbs 14:23; Ecclesiastes 2:24, 3:13, 5:18-19 and gives us the resources to share with other in need Ephesians 4:28 . At the same time, it may not be possible to find a positioin equal in pay and status to the one that was lost. In these cases, Christian should not allow pride to keep them from taking jobs in other fields, even if it means lowered status or less pay, at least temporarily. We should lso be willing to accept help from other believers and our churches, perhaps in e...

The Greatest is Love

" But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us. " Ephesians 2:4 What makes love so amazing? For starters, it is what motivated the Father to send His only Son to die for us. Without love, there would have been no redemption. Not only would we be without love, but without the redemption that was precipitated by love, there would also be no faith, and no hope. You see, nothing else matters, without love. It is foundational for every other good thing in our lives. PRAYER FOR THE DAY Our Father in Heaven, Today many people forgot how to love another and today it is easy to criticize those close to me; but Lord, give me your unreserved love so that they may know how deeply I appreciate them through God's love. We grateful that our Father show His love toward world. In Jesus Christ's name amen! Thank you for your time to read this message and hope to open your heart and mind to understand what is the greatest is love. Have a blessing day!

Transformation

What does the Bible say about Transformation?  I found a good verse that defined of Transformation. "Change or renewal from a life that no longer conforms to the ways of the world to one that pleases God" (Romans 12:2). How do we know that a person who is transformed from Darkness to Light? The evidence of transformation within us is seen in the way we increasingly contemplate the identicalness and glory of Christ (2 Corinthians 3:18). if your body is controlled by the Spirit of God lives in you, then you are controlled NOT by the sinful nature. If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, He does not belong to Christ (Romans 8:9). How can we be considered as children of God? We must be led by the Spirit of God. And it is through the power of God's Spirit that Jesus Christ lives within us. For instance of Transformed life mirrors the attitude of the apostle Paul: " I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live , but Christ lives in me. The life I...
