God Will Provide


Matthew 6:26 "Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?"
God will provide!  We tend to be so anxious in times when it seems like God is not filling in in time.
Observe how we always rely on the mall's big, sliding, glass doors.  We want to get inside right?  So do we enter the parking lot and simply turn around when we see the doors are closed?  Or do we park and walk till about 10 m in front of the door and if it is still closed we go home?  Not at all! In fact, we walk confidently to the doors, full speed and we know that before our noses touches those doors the sensor will pick us up and the doors will give way.
Now keep in mind that worldly things like computers in this case, has a history of letting down and failing yet we trust that more than a living God that hasn't let anyone down before!
Romans 10:11 "For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.”
We are more valuable than the birds God so carefully looks after.  We are His children and He is our Father.  He is our only source and our only provider.  His promises to us is to always be there and to never let us down.
Sometimes it might look like God is taking too long, but keep in mind that He has been God for much longer than you can ever imagine, He knows what He is doing!  To the relatives of a dead man... 4 days are way too late yet for God the 4th day was the perfect timing to raise Lazarus from the grave.
Let's hold on to the promises and let's have faith!

To God be the Glory



If you are like me you will most probably end most prayers off as: "All the glory and honor to You God."  Now we need to fix this.  I am not saying that it is wrong... but the habit is.  See every time we say those words I do believe we mean it and that we really want it... my question is, do we know what it entails?  Do we truly understand the depth of such a statement?
Galatians 1:10 "For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ."
This scripture came to mind when I heard about cathedrals in Rome.  These buildings would have the finest
detail, perfectly hand made all the way to the roof.  Now as you know no one can see that far up and so the question was, why go through all that trouble to create detail that cannot be appreciated by man?  Their answer was simple: "We built this for God and and not for man.  God sees everything."  This really struck me because no matter the trouble they had to go through... everything was done for God and to His standards.    They were seeking God's glory and that alone.  Man's opinion didn't matter to these passionate people.
Revelation: “Worthy are you, our Lord and God, "to receive glory and honor and power,for you created all things,and by your will they existed and were created.”
Now the question is, does God really receive the glory in everything we do?  We live for God and God alone... isn't it time we act like it?  We are the Children of the most High and no one knows God's heart better than His own Children.  How about starting to seek the Glory of God in every opportunity we have.  Let's glorify our Creator in every step we take and in every action!  If it calls for diligence, let's be diligent.  If it calls for patience let's be patient.  No matter what is required... we live for God and God alone.

Renew Your Mind

Declare these scriptures over yourself every day and Holy Spirit will renew your mind and build your self-image to see yourself as God sees you!

Romans 12:2 - Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
John 8:32 - And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

THE TRUTH IS:

  • ·         I am a precious woman (or man) of great value and worth because Jesus, the Kind of Kings, died and paid a great price for me. 
  • ·         I am born again of the Incorruptible seed of the living Word of God that endures forever.(1Peter 1:23)

Life of Love


1 John 4:17-18 MSG

God is love. When we take up permanent residence in a life of love, we live in God and God lives in us. This way, love has the run of the house, becomes at home and mature in us, so that we’re free of worry on Judgment Day—our standing in the world is identical with Christ’s. There is no room in love for fear. Well-formed love banishes fear. Since fear is crippling, a fearful life—fear of death, fear of judgment—is one not yet fully formed in love.

I Bring My Body Under Subjection.


Now we know that we have been made righteous by the love of Christ and that we are holy and sanctified.  We know that the Bible sate we are made perfect and that we are blameless in the sight of God.  We also know that life everlasting is our portion and that death has no hold... that nothing is impossible and that through God we have no limits.
Funny enough we read in 1 Corinthians 9 the following:
1 Corinthians 9:27 "But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified."
Now since we are all of the things Christ says we are... how can we disqualify ourselves.  What was the meaning behind this statement Paul made?  See God has set us free, but that still didn't give us the right to do as we please.
We are His image in the world and not only that but if we do not pick life in every choice we make... death is infecting us.
1 Corinthians 9:25-26 "Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. 26 So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air."
I saw a musical production on a twisted story about Alice in wonderland.  Now the cat  in this story has a shadow with its own mind.  The shadow would do whatever it pleased and was never in sync with the cat itself.  When the cat was thrown into jail... the shadow was still outside the prison bars and danced as usul... but she could not leave prison or go any further since she was only limited to the cats's surroundings.  This is the same with us.  God has set us free and there is no more limits so do not let your body or choices limit you.  Choose life always!

Never Ending


We live in a world where people only love you when you are successful or supportive but one mistake and it's easy to fall from their grace.  So have learned to settle for second best.  To be understanding when we messed up and people ignore us but also to ignore those who has caused us grief and hurt.  Note what Psalm 100 says.
Psalm 100:5 "For the Lord is good;his steadfast love endures forever,and his faithfulness to all generations."
It says that the Lord's love endures forever.  Now last time i checked forever is quite a long while.  There is no end to that  time period.
 Psalm 103:17 "But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him,"
There is simply no boundary or limit to the love and grace God has for us.  It is an never ending source.  Never ending!
Romans 8:38-39 "For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Nothing that you will ever do will be able to make God love you less or have less grace on you.  God is not interested in how you messed up or where you missed it.  He chose you, not because you are perfect... but because He loves you and He wanted you!  Once we realize this we can stop fearing to fall short of His love because it has no limit or boundaries!

Looking at The Big Solution


We look around us and we see death, pain, hatred and an absolute lack of success.  Then we try and connect the scriptures with what we see in the world in order to keep our own sanity but even that causes more chaos and questions.
2 Corinthians 5:7 "for we walk by faith, not by sight."
This is a very well know scripture but do we really believe this.  It is one thing confessing that this is our lifestyle but it is another to live it out.
Matthew 14:28-30 "And Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” 29 He said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me.”
Peter started walking on water... he was busy conquering the situation.  But he began to sink because he looked at the problem.  While he had his eyes fixed on Christ he saw the power and he had confidence... but the circumstances made him sink.  It is the same with us.  When a problem comes knocking at your door... do you look at the unseen, where God already gave a solution?   Or are you staring dead into the face of the problem?  See we must start looking with our spiritual eyes... where God is in control.  We don't live by what we see but by what we do not see.

Imagine the peace we will experience and the victory when we start looking to the Spirit instead of the natural.  Then, and then only, nothing will move us or shake us or make us tremble because we see the Great solution instead of the problem.
Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen."
Keep in mind that we cannot say we have faith once we see something.  Faith is hoping and trusting for what you do not see yet.  It is waiting upon a solution with steadfast surety!  Let's take a stand in faith!

The time is now!


Proverbs 3: 27;Withhold not good from those to whom it is due [its rightful owners], when it is in the power of your hand to do it.28;Do not say to your neighbor, Go, and come again; and tomorrow I will give it--when you have it with you. . . YOU HAVE THE FULLNESS OF GOD HIMSELF TO HEAL THE SICK , THE KINGDOM IS AT HAND , THE TIME ISN'T TOMORROW , THE TIME IS NOW!!! BE COURAGEOUS AND WALK IN BOLDNESS OF FAITH AND HEAL THE SICK NOW !!! HIS FIRE NEVER SLEEPS !!

Our Time to Minister


We all know the story in Matthew 14 about the multiplication of bread and fishes... How Jesus fed five thousand people using a little boys' lunch.  We always look at the amazing miracle that took place that day, but there has to be more to the story.
Matthew 14:16 "But Jesus said, “They need not go away; you give them something to eat.”
Note that Jesus didn't just take the little they had and performed the miracle but he actually commanded His disciples to feed the crowd.  This is significant because by now Jesus already turned water into wine and He also performed a bunch of other miracles.  Now these followers of Jesus saw the signs and miracles day in and day out.  To them this might have become quite natural... like a normal day at the office.  The difference is however that now Jesus asks them to do, what they see as the impossible.  When they told Jesus that this cannot be done, Jesus commanded them to bring what they have.
Matthew 14:18 " And he said, “Bring them here to me.”
Now we know that Jesus took the bread, thanked the Father and the food multiplied... there was even left overs.  The crucial part of this story is that we are His children, His hands and feet.  It is up to us to start ministering to those around us.  The beauty of this all is that we don't even have to have much to complete this task because if we give all we have to God... that is just the right amount to accomplish the task He required of us.  When we give our all... God fills it up with Himself.

The Words We Speak


Genesis 1:3 "And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light."
This is probably one of the best known scriptures ever and it contains one of the biggest truths as well that we overlook so easily.  See right through Genesis and the whole creation story we find that God actually spoke everything into existence.  He said "let there be light" He said "let there be stars in the sky".  God made everything by speaking.  Throughout the Bible we even read how Jesus healed people by speaking.  Jesus said to the lame man "I forgive your sins" and the man was healed.  Jesus called to Lazarus and he rose from the dead.  We are underestimating the power of the words we use.

In our modern society we tend to only look at the words we use in the context of harming other people.  As Christians we are made aware of the words we use towards the people around us and how that may effect them.  What about the words we use over our own life?  We are quick to say that "I won't be able to make this or handle that", students walk into an examination hall and declare "I am failing today".  We are creating our own problems because we are speaking and declaring it over our lives.
James 3:2 "For we all stumble in many ways. And if anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle his whole body."
The book of James describes perfectly how the tongue can control our very lives and how important it is to get it in line with what God says.  If our words has creating power... imagine the difference it can make when we start to only speak life into our lives and into those around us!

God: Nothing or Everything...


Matthew 6:33 "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."
We live in a world where the pursuit to happiness is everything... yet the world has a different perception to the reality of happiness.  In the world's eye it is to  be successful and to make something extraordinary out of your life.  Now i am not disagreeing with this at all but I think we need to have a look at the means by which we do so!  Ever heard a person saying he/she is married to their job?  Well this is a very dangerous statement!  What is the last thought that crosses your mind when you fall asleep?  Or the first one as you wake up?  If i was to tell you that your future are taken away from you... would state that everything has been take from you?  Se the things of this world became our everything in the pursuit to fit into this world.
Romans 12:1 "I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship."
The Bible speaks of us presenting ourselves as a living sacrifice.  That means everything you are is focused on God and on worshiping Him....  this includes your hopes, plans, ambition, future, dreams, actions and even your very breathing!
God simply isn't satisfied with only half of you or even with 99.9% of you.... He demands it all!  Is God really everything to you... is He all you think, dream and talk about day in and day out?  Is He your obsession or just a sideline acquaintance?

God will make a way!


Keep Your Focus


Saying that you shouldn't get offended or that you should act in love is always easier said than done.  We spend our entire lives trying to please God and live lives that are worthy of notice in a Christian community.  We always try and do good and when we fail we always use the excuse saying we are simply human and that humans slip up.
But let's face it; we aren't satisfied with failing day after day.  We want to have this life that is promised us with no offense, or hatred, patience and the love of Christ in all situations.
John 3:6 "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit."
This is where we need to understand things clearly... trying to do right won't get us anywhere.  We already know that the flesh is always working against the Spirit.  As humans we tend to mess things up naturally without much trouble.  So even trying to be holy by our good deeds corrupts us because our holiness and righteousness comes by grace through faith.  Fact of the matter is, we need to get into a position where acts of life comes as naturally as our fleshly acts once came..
Romans 8:7-8 "the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God."
So the summary is this: we need to keep our eyes on God.  Once we are focused on God we act  in the live of Christ naturally.  I am speaking of letting God consume your thoughts and conversations.  Let God be all you see, eat and breath day in and day out and you won't be able to show anything but the character of Christ.


Science vs Christianity

In a Nutshell

Some people see science and religion as enemies, at war for leadership in our modern culture.  Others see science and religion as completely separate and unrelated facets of life.  However, science is not the only source of facts, and religion reaches beyond the realm of values and morals.  In fact, religion can have a positive impact on science, such as in the development of modern medical ethics.  Many early scientific leaders were devout Christians, as are some scientific leaders today.  Science can also enhance the spiritual life of believers.  Christians rejoice in scientific discoveries that reveal the glory of God the creator.

In Detail

Introduction

Many voices today say that science and Christianity are opposed to each other. Some atheists claim that science has debunked religion and superstition of all forms. Many in the general public think that the church is anti-science. And within the church, science is often portrayed as challenging important Christian beliefs. None of these voices, however, hint at the positive and fruitful relationship between Christianity and science. Here we review several ways to view the relationship between science and Christianity.

Are Christianity and science at war?

When creation and evolution clash in a courtroom, the daily news fills up with stories suggesting that there is some profound conflict between science and Christianity. Inevitably, someone mentions the historical incident of Galileo. Galileo was charged with heresy by the church in 1633 for teaching that the Earth orbits the Sun. From Galileo to textbook battles, the hasty conclusion is that science and Christianity are engaged in an endless debate, fundamentally opposed to each other.
Yet the Galileo incident and today’s conflicts are often about much more than the particular claims of science or faith. Personalities, politics, and culture wars all come into play when drawing the battle lines. In many instances, science and scientists are not themselves in conflict with Christian belief. In fact, Galileo himself was a Christian who believed “that the glory and greatness of Almighty God are marvelously discerned in all His works and divinely read in the open book of Heaven”1 Many scientists then and now2 are Christians who see no conflict between their scientific work and their faith. Most things studied via the natural sciences—such as the migration patterns of birds or the interior of atoms—do not raise any theological or Biblical concerns.
The “warfare” model, then, is not very helpful for understanding evolution and Christianity, since it assumes conflict from the start. A few particular areas of scientific study—like the big bang and evolution—do raise concerns for Christians, but most of the BioLogos website (see Questions by Category on the right) is devoted to showing that evolution and Christianity are not truly at war. In the rest of this answer, we’ll explore other models for the working relationship between science and Christianity.

Are Christianity and science completely separate?

One way to erase the conflicts between science and Christianity is to view them as entirely separate endeavors, with different purposes, methods, and bodies of knowledge. This view emphasizes that science is a system of knowledge about the world and its behavior, whereas religion is about morality, God, and the afterlife. Thus, Christianity and science cannot conflict, because they are addressing different sorts of questions.3
This model has some weaknesses (see below), but it does help us understand some important aspects of the relationship. Many apparent conflicts between science and religion occur because of a lack of understanding of the fundamental differences between the two. When someone claims that the Bible answers a scientific question, and another claims that science answers a question about God, the conflict immediately flares up. Many conflicts become enflamed because participants forget that Christianity and science do generally address very different questions.
This model also reminds us that science is not the only source of knowledge. There are many sorts of questions that simply do not fall under the domain of science. Borrowing an example from the Rev. John Polkinghorne, there is more than one answer to the question of “Why is the water boiling in the tea kettle?”4 The scientific answer might be “the water is boiling because at this temperature it undergoes a phase transition from liquid to vapor.” Another acceptable, though nonscientific, answer is “the water is boiling because I put the kettle on the stove.” A third answer might be “the water is boiling because my prayer partner is coming over for tea.” None of the answers is wrong; rather, each gives a different perspective on the question. The scientific answer does not tell the whole story. Science cannot answer questions like “Is my friend trustworthy?” or “Is this poem well written?” Science is tremendously successful in understanding the physical world, but we should not let that tempt us to think it can be used to understand everything in life.
Science cannot answer the question “Does God exist?” Some people argue that God’s existence is actually a scientific claim that could be tested like a chemical reaction. But science studies the natural world, not the supernatural. No amount of scientific testing or theorizing could prove or disprove the existence of a supernatural creator. The claim that “God exists” is a metaphysical one, not a claim about nature or physical laws
This model also reminds us that the Bible is not the only source of knowledge. The Bible is silent on most of the topics that concern scientists, like protons, photosynthesis, penguins, and Pluto. The Bible is not a science textbook, in the same way that it is not a textbook of plumbing, agriculture, or economics. Instead, God teaches us about these things through his general revelation in the created order.
However, this model has some significant weaknesses. It isolates religion from science, which can be a first step in marginalizing religion from public discourse. By defining religion and science as separate, this model doesn’t help us understand the interactions they do have, either negative or positive. The model also sets science on its own, apart from religion, while Christians believe that no part of our lives is outside of our walk with God.

Science and Christianity interact, correcting and enhancing each other

While many questions can be clearly categorized as “science” questions or as “Bible” questions, other questions are on the boundary. For topics like evolution, medical ethics, and climate change, we need to consider both science and faith when seeking out God’s truth. For such complex questions, we need all the knowledge and wisdom we can get, rather than handicapping ourselves by looking only to science or only to the Bible. If we look to only one or the other, we will get a distorted view of the issue. As Pope John Paul II wrote,
Science can purify religion from error and superstition; religion can purify science from idolatry and false absolutes. Each can draw the other into a wider world, a world in which both can flourish.5
God reveals himself in the book of Scripture and the book of Nature. To learn more about God and his work, we study both books. When one book is confusing or ambiguous, insights from the other book can help us understand it. In both revelations, we look for the underlying truth of who God is and how he made the world. Rev John Polkinghorne wrote, “Science and theology have things to say to each other, since both are concerned with the search for truth attained through motivated belief.”6
Faith can have a positive impact on science by guiding the practical application of scientific discoveries. With the rapid advance of science and technology, many ethical questions are facing our society. Development of safe nuclear energy is not far from the development of nuclear weapons, new medical imaging techniques save lives but are too expensive for the poor, and DNA testing improves treatment of genetic disorders at the risk of the results being misused.7 To address these complex questions, we need both science and the moral grounding of religion. We can’t just give a quick answer from the Bible without studying the scientific complexities, nor can we look to science alone to guide ethical decisions. Christianity and other religions lay the groundwork for the moral standards that are essential for the appropriate use of science and technology.
Science also has a positive impact on the faith of the believer. The Bible teaches that “The heavens declare the glory of God” (Psalm 19:1). Christians see God’s glory when looking up at the stars, and in colliding galaxies seen through a telescope. God’s glory is revealed in the beautiful symmetry of a maple leaf, and in the complex biochemical activity inside each cell in that leaf. Science and technology have shown us much more of God’s creation than was known in Biblical times, revealing more and more of God’s glory.

Finally, Christianity can provide the belief framework for how and why we do science. Christians need not set aside their faith when they sit down to do science. Read on to the next question for more.

Love vs Judgment


Take two people out of different backgrounds... person A believes in miracles, signs and wonders because this person also sees it on a day to day basis.  It is a reality to him/her.  Person B on the other hand does not believe in these miracles.  Now we are quick to pull out our judging cards and throw the scripture in Matthew where God said lay hands on the sick and they will recover.  In the process we cause offense and miss the entire point of love!
Romans 14:5 "One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind."
God walks a road with every individual.  None of us are the same and so God works with us individually.  That is why we cannot judge anyone since we are all on a different frequency with God.  We all sit with different ideas and perceptions based on our background and character.  Sin is when you are unsure of what you are doing... once you are absolutely convinced in your heart of what you believe it is right in God's eyes.
Paul writes this in Romans 14 as well.
Romans 14:22-23 "The faith that you have, keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who has no reason to pass judgment on himself for what he approves. 23 But whoever has doubts is condemned if he eats, because the eating is not from faith. For whatever does not proceed from faith is sin."
Keep in mind that not every believe is Biblicaly right... and so we need to set an example to the believers to show the right way.  We never and under no circumstance have the right judge anyone!  Our faith is between us and God.  Let't start acting in love instead of offending and causing people to stumble.




Christ in the smallest details

This is the testimony of a medical doctor...  It is actually life changing!

A couple of  days ago I was running (I use that term very loosely) on my treadmill,  watching a DVD sermon by Louie Giglio... And I was BLOWN AWAY! I want to  share what I learned....
He  (Louie) was talking about how inconceivably BIG our God  is... How He spoke the  universe into being.. How He breathes stars out of His mouth that are huge  raging balls of fire.. Etc. Etc. Then He went on to speak of how this  star-breathing, universe creating God ALSO knitted  our human bodies together with amazing detail and  wonder. At this point I am LOVING it (fascinating from a medical  standpoint, you know.) .. And I was remembering how I was constantly  amazed during medical school as I learned more and more about God's  handiwork. I remember so many times thinking..'How can ANYONE deny that a Creator did all of  this???'
Louie went on to  talk about how we can trust that the God who created all this, also has  the power to hold it all together when things seem to be falling  apart...how our loving Creator is also our  sustainer.
And then I lost my  breath. And it wasn't because I was running my treadmill,  either!!!
      It was because he  started talking about laminin. I knew about  laminin.. Here is how Wikipedia<http://www.wikipedia.org/> describes them:  'Laminins are a family of proteins that are an integral part of the  structural scaffolding of basement membranes in almost every animal  tissue' You see.... Laminins are what hold us  together... LITERALLY. They are cell adhesion molecules. They are  what holds one cell of our bodies to the next cell. Without them, we would  literally fall apart. And I knew all this already. But what I didn't know  is what they LOOKED LIKE..     But now I do. And I  have thought about it a thousand times since (already)....Here is what the  structure of laminin looks like... AND THIS IS NOT a 'Christian portrayal'  of it.... If you look up laminin in any scientific/medical piece of  literature, this is what you will  see....    
     
     
cid:F49847CDD2C34BA89A79E4A28F8855E2@georgepc
Now tell me that our  God is not the coolest!!! Amazing. The glue  that holds us together.... ALL of us..... Is in the shape of the  cross. Immediately Colossians 1:15-17 comes to mind. He is the  image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all  creation. All things were  created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him All things  HOLD TOGETHER.' Colossians 1:15-17
Call me crazy. I  just think that is very, very, very cool. Thousands of years before the  world knew anything about laminin, Paul penned those words. And now we see  that from a very LITERALstandpoint, we are held together... One cell to another.... By the  cross.
You would never in a  quadrillion years convince me that is anything  othere than the  mark of a Creator who knew EXACTLY what laminin 'glue' would look like  long before Adam breathed his first breath!!

The Light at the end of every Tunnel

 Hebrews 13:5-6 "Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we can confidently say,

“The Lord is my helper;I will not fear;what can man do to me?

So many times we hear fellow Christians being dismayed and discouraged.  People would often state that they pray, believe with all their heart and serve with all their strength yet things in their life goes wrong.  No where in the 66 books of the Bible it states that trouble you will never see any trouble at all... but God did make it clear in Jeremiah that His thoughts towards us is that of peace and an expected end.

In this we know that if something hasn't worked out... it is not the end yet.  He promises to never leave nor forsake us and we can stand on that promise He made.
 Romans 8:28 "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good"
A situation or circumstance s not over unless God says it is over.  We are over-comers and conquerors by the blood of Christ.  We live by faith and not by sight so when days looks dark... know that God says different!
