| Happy Are Those Who Have Not Seen and Yet Believe |

John 20:29 - Jesus said unto them, 'You believe because you can see me. Happy are those who have not seen and yet believe.'
It's beautiful and undescribeable when Jesus comes into your heart. There is so much joy that fills you, you can't express it. The emptiness that you felt is gone, the lonliness is gone. Suddenly you experience a whole new outlook on life. You feel renewed. You feel that life has meaning and a purpose. You hunger to find truth in Jesus.
If feel that there is something missing in your life, I urge you to call on Jesus and believe in Him. You will never regret it. The only regret you will have is saying to yourself, "Why didn't I do this sooner?"
Feeling that emptyness inside? That lonliness? Are you feeling depressed? Has the world beaten you down? Call on Jesus Christ, the giver of Truth and Life. He is the way back to God.
May God Bless You Abundantly

| Parable Of The Sower - Forth Part |

Matthew 13, 'Other seeds fell on good soil and brought forth grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. He who has ears, let him hear.'
'As for what was sown on good soil, this is he who hears the word and understands it; he indeed bears fruit, and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty.'
These are the ones that please God. They work hard at overcoming their flesh and the world. They build a one on one relationship with Jesus Christ. Their faith is strong and they produce good fruits. They work the scriptures and put God as number one in their life.
Is There a God? Is The Word of God Real? Does God Exist?

Matthew 13, 'Other seeds fell upon thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. As for what was sown among thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the delight in riches choke the word, and it proves unfruitful.
These are the ones that know about God, but still want to be a part of the world. Seeking material things, money and any treasure that fulfills the pleasures of the flesh. Their goals are worldly, as for their time. They are a slave of the world may be a part worshipper to God. But they are only deceiving themselves, because you can't worship God, the flesh and the world. It has to be one or the other.

Matthew 13, 'Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they had not much soil, and immediately they sprang up, since they had no depth of soil, but when the sun rose they were scorched; and since they had no root they withered away.
As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately he falls away.
These are the ones that do not have a personal relationship with Jesus. If they did they would continue to follow Him, working the scriptures, overcoming themselves (their pride) and the world.
They lack the faith and strength needed to go through the tests and trials that come their way. So, what happens is, they wind up worrying, doubting that things are going to be all right or fearing the worst. Without a strong foundation in the Word and faith, they fall.

Matthew 13, 'And he told them many things in parables, saying: "A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them."
Hear then the parable of the sower. 'When any one hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what is sown in his heart; this is what was sown along the path.'
In this first part are the ones that are prejudiced to God's Word. They have closed their mind and rejected it without ever dwelling on it to find truth in the Word of God. They've already deceived themselves into thinking that there is no God and that He is a fantasy. They let Satan rob them of the very thing that could've saved them. They have no roots in the Lord, so they wither away and die.

| Pay No Attention To Arrogant People |

Isaiah 13:11, 'I will punish the world for its evil-doing, and the wicked for their crimes, to put an end to the pride of arrogant men and humble the pride of despots.'
Arrogant people are people who feed off of their pride. They are walking in darkness, far from the light of the Lord.
Arrogant people come from both sides of the fence, there are those that ridicule others for their beliefs and mock God, Jesus Christ, the bible and religions. Then there are those that belong to a religion and are arrogant towards those that don't conform to their ways and beliefs. They can become so defensive that they begin to spread hate from their pride instead of love from their heart.
These types of people are better left to be ignored and left alone. You can't reason with them or have a rational conversation with them. Be silent and let the Lord deal with them. No need for you to get caught up into their ways. The best you can do is be silent and pray for them.
1Samuel 2:3, 'Do not speak and speak with haughty words, let not arrogance come from your mouth. For Yahweh is an all-knowing God and His is the weighing of deeds.'
Arrogant People Need To Be Left Alone

Kind of makes you wonder these days with all the religions out there. Are we all praying and worshipping the same God? How Do you know? What is the true word of God? No one has seen the God that they worship, but it is believed in men's hearts that there is a God by faith.
If we cannot touch God, then why do people claim that their beliefs or religion is the only true religion? Have they somehow been able to capture God and claim Him as their own? How do they know what religion is right?
I believe that a God that teaches love must be the right one, after all isn't love better than hate? I know that love will bring peace, joy, happiness and true freedom, not like hate which brings wars, violence, crime and misery to the beholder. If the true God does teach to love one another and help each other, then why do we need to have all these different religions?
Why can't everyone just worship the true God that teaches love and teaches to love one another? If this did happen, then maybe man will have a chance to live in peace and harmony with one another.
Show off the God that is in your heart today by doing something nice for your fellow man. Smile! Smile! Smile!

Why is it that many people who claim to have faith in God still have worries, fears and doubts?
I was under the impression that if you are going to be faithful to God and believe in Him that one would have to trust God without worrying, or having fear of the unknown. What about when one doubts the positive and believes that the negative will happen?
From Psalm 7: 1,2 'God, I take shelter (trust) in you; from all who hound me, save me, rescue me, or, like the lion, he will carry me off and tear me to pieces where no one can save me.
Our negative thinking is like the lion, it destroys our faith in God. It can cause us to get stressed, have an impact on us mentally, physically and spiritually. So, if we are going to claim to have faith in God, then we need to prove it to God that we do or the lion will tears us to pieces.
May God Bless You

With all the different churches out there that believe in God, Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit, why do they all have different formats? It can be quite confusing. Are they catering to certain individuals or are they trying to have a better format then another church?
I always thought church was supposed to be a place that you go to to worship God and fellowship with others. Helping each other out, whether they may have a question about the Lord or spiritual matters.
Make sure you find out what kind of church you are attending. Check the Pastor out to see if he is spiritual or not. See if he uses the bible to preach from. Is he a prosperity preacher? Does the church always ask for money? Does the church entertain you? Do they preach TRUTH?
Good luck and May God lead you to the right church.

One that does call them self a "Christian" could cause others to bash the Christian religion if they don't behave like one.
I have seen too many people calling themselves Christians only to turn around and show hate towards someone by calling them names or bashing their beliefs.
If we are going to follow Jesus Christ, then we need to act like He did when He was here by "Loving One Another" and understand that there are people who haven't surrendered their heart to Jesus yet. Have some compassion for others and pray for everyone. God reads the hearts of all men and women.
What are Your Christian Beliefs?
