John P When things aren’t going right we hope for change, but it’s where we put our hope that matters. We can put our hope in God or in man, one is wrong and one is right. Which one do you choose?
Many people don’t understand the nature of God or what this world once was before the fall of man. Many have become accustomed to living their life without the help of God and this goes for some of those that do believe in God. (more…)

No Comments » December 29th, 2010 John P Materialism seems to be a way of life with us. With stores, malls, strip centers and also the internet, we are flooded with every kind of thing for sale that we can imagine. I’ll bet that the average person will never even see 0.05% of all the items that are for sale.
Yet we acquire more things then we actually need and these are called wants. They are pleasing to the bodily senses in one way or another. (more…)
December 29th, 2010 John P What is there to worry about if you believe in God? Usually there are only two outcomes to a situation that one worries about, a positive or a negative.
So, what it comes down to is people that worry always choose the negative outcome and they dwell on it and also fabricate all different kinds of outcomes. Why is this? Why can’t people choose to think about a positive outcome? It’s because that’s the way we are in our carnal self. (more…)

They just go about living their lives like nothing is wrong. There is a lot more coming in the near future that we have to prepare ourselves for. If we don’t do God’s will, then we will have to go through these times of tribulation without the protection of God. (more…)
December 27th, 2010 John P God is probably one of the most misunderstood beings ever. People are always assuming that God is cruel or that He doesn’t exist at all. It’s funny that a lot of the ones that don’t believe He exists are always the ones that show up in religious article comment boards or forums stating just that. (more…)

The United States and England were once great empires, but not any more. They are declining fast as they clothe themselves in immorality, corruption, spiritual decay and every other abomination that God despises.
Just as the Roman Empire doesn’t exist anymore, do you think that these two nations will wake up in time to save them selves from extinction? Only time will tell. (more…)

They could be people like, preachers, teachers or anyone that attends Christian churches. They are out to rob you of your salvation and you may not even be aware of it. So, who’s fault is it if you listen to man instead of God, or Jesus Christ, or the Holy Spirit? (more…)

People have different opinions on “Who is God”. The ones that say that God is cruel will go to the Old Testament and cite passages like, when God flooded the world and all those innocent children were drowned. How about when He had the Israelites conquer nations and kill everyone in those nations and destroy all their idols. God has a purpose for everything that He does, you just have to look for it. Who is God? He is pure love. (more…)

We have a tendency to adapt to our environment in such a way that our thinking process and how we re-act to circumstances become habitual and automatic. The environment can control whether we live a happy life or not. (more…)
November 21st, 2010 John P It’s strange how we see what is sane and what is insane. We call people who seem to be without reason and out of touch with what the world calls reality, “Insane”, but are they really? It all depends on how you look at it.
When we see things through our carnal eyes, we see things as normal and real according to the carnal mind, but how would you see the world if you were looking at it through your spiritual eyes? How do you understand the state of sanity or insanity and know what is Truth? (more…)

What it means to rebel against God is to basically give in to our pride and choose the things that are an abomination to God.
When we choose our will over God’s will we travel on the road to self-destruction that leads us into the darkness, but when we choose God’s will we travel on the road that leads us into the Light which is eternal life and true peace which can only be found in God’s love. (more…)

We have a problem with people when they do something that interferes with our peace. We don’t like it and usually we act upon it in a negative way. Do people, places and things bother us sometimes that much that we have turn to the dark side of ourselves that cause us more pain and/or discomfort or angers us? (more…)

We can be a much happier person if we remove the darkness that is within us. This darkness causes all types of negative activity like stress, anger, hate, resentments, jealousy, impatience, envy, desires of the flesh, character defects and so many more. Our character defects is something that we need to focus on.
We need to trim the dead branches from the tree and allow new ones to grow like, peace, faith, love, happiness, kindness, compassion, righteousness and so on. It’s all a matter of changing the way we see things, act on things and basically how we live our lives from moment to moment. (more…)

We need to get rid of our iniquitous behavior and resentments and recovery will follow. We must not be a stumbling block in other’s lives. Be free of the judgments that you make on people. We can ask ourselves a simple question like, “What I did wrong to others, was it worth it?”
No wrong is ever worth it, it will come back to haunt you. Also, we can ask ourselves, “Why do I want to harm people?” We need to clean ourselves up and make sure that the only account that we will be giving on judgment day are the good things that we have done in our lives. (more…)

Do a daily evaluation on yourself so that you can correct yourself and live a much happier life.
We need to correct ourselves and change our thought process because of the way we think about the things that disrupt our emotions and our souls. Look at the things that happened during the day and see how we handled them. Did we handle things in a mature and spiritual way or did we handle it in a shameful way? (more…)
