Faith in Jesus can turn stumbling blocks into steppingstones.
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Faith
January 19, 2016Christian Marathon
January 16, 2016Christian life is like running a marathon. First a person must decide to run in the race.
The day we accept Jesus Christ as payment for our sin is the decision to begin the Christian race.
The marathon runner must train. Our training as a Christian begins by Bible reading, prayer, church, learning to witness and obeying God.
Proper food is very important to the marathon runner. The right amount of vitamins and carbs are important to be able to have strength to finish the race. The Christian must have proper food also. We get our strength from the Word of God the Bible and direction from the Holy Spirit.
Running in a marathon is not easy, there are health risks involved but the runner gladly accepts the risks to finish the course. The Christian race is not easy either but we must decide to finish our course.
How are you doing in your Christian race? The marathon runner does not give up or quit and as a Christian we must not quit serving the Lord no matter how long or hard life may become. Our prize is worth much more than the marathon winners. Our prize is our Savior telling us, Well done thy good and faithful servant. Matthew 22:21
Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Need Dirctions?
January 9, 2016Many verses in the Bible help us in our daily walk with the Lord. Proverbs 3:5&6 are two of the verses that give us direction.
These verses tell us to Trust in the Lord no matter what the circumstances. Trust Him. Then acknowledge Him by telling others of His goodness. He promises to give us good direction in our lives. Sometimes we have to wait awhile for His plan for us is made clear but if we keep praying, trusting and don’t give up He will show us what His will is for our lives.
Proverbs 3:5&6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
The Answer is in The Book
January 2, 2016Every Christian needs to get alone with God everyday. Fifteen minutes a day can take you through the Bible in a year. It is not to late to start if you begin today. This is leap year, February has 29 days that will catch you up if you did not start on January first. (There are several yearly Bible reading plans on the web)
Some people read a Proverb a day, which is a wonderful place to seek wisdom. The Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are the books to read to know Jesus better and learn more of His sacrifice for you. Interested in prophecy? Daniel and Revelation are the books for you. Whatever you need the answer is in the Book, the Bible.
Let God speak to you through His Word and then you will be able to speak to Him through prayer.
Psalms 119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
The First Promise
December 1, 2015Genesis 3:15And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
The first prophesy about Jesus is found in Genesis. Man sinned and God had a plan to redeem mankind from sin. Throughout the Bible many promises of the Savior are recorded. This is the first. Today we can be thankful that the plan of salvation is clear from all the scripture. Jesus birth was the beginning of the fulfillment of the promise. Let us remember the reason for the season and keep Christ the center of our activities.

Obedience
November 2, 2015“You cannot be obedient to God with a closed Bible.” Charles Stanley
Romans 16:26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:
JESUS, Every Knee Shall Bow
October 10, 2015Yesterday, Octorber 9, in a major retail store a large display of Christmas trees, decorations and gifts were displayed. The commercialism for a special Holiday commemorating Jesus birth has been turned into a money making event and the worst part of it all is the name JESUS can not even be spoken in public.
His name, the Bible and any form of Christianity has been ridiculed and denounced by our government because of the “rights” of other religions (or lack of any religion). What happened to our Nation that was founded on the principles in the Bible? Freedom OF religion, not freedom From religion.
The Bible tells us that every knee shall one day bow to Jesus, the One who shed His blood that we may have eternal life. Let us who are Christians honor Him by telling others about Him and change the lives of people one person at a time.
Philippians 2:10-11 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Peace of God
October 6, 2015“Don’t let the noise of the world drown out the peace of God’s Love.”
If you watch the news on TV, listen to the radio, or read the newspaper you know that the world is in chaos. The Bible tells us that we can have peace and joy no matter what the circumstance.
The secret of peace is to know God, read his word every day and trust him completely.
Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
The Bible Quote
October 2, 2015Adrian Rogers quote on the Bible.
“The Bible addresses one problem–sin. The Bible has one villain–Satan. The Bible has one hero–Jesus. The Bible has one purpose–to glorify God.”
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
