Faith the Antidote of Fear

Mark 4:40 “Why are you so afraid? He asked. “Do you still have no faith?” Influences that shape our lives are like icebergs 10% visible, 90% invisible Faith is believing that what you cannot see, will come to pass. On the other hand fear is also believing that what you cannot see will come to pass. The only difference is Faith attracts the positive whilst fear attracts the negative. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself, Nameless unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyses Need efforts to convert retreat into advance. – Martin Luther A.

One Goal One Hope

There are many different kinds of hope Eph 1:17-18 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: 18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints Eph4:6 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

Why Hasn't Jesus Christ Returned Yet?

I am sure many of God's professed people are wondering why Christ Jesus hasn't returned yet. This world has been in turmoil for some time now, and it is just getting worse and worse. What is God waiting for? What is He waiting for His people to do? There are many different types of Christians in the world today. But unfortunately, not enough who   do   the express will of God. There are those who focus on the 'grace' of Christ Jesus, thinking that they can continue to live a life of worldliness and sin, and forget about keeping the law of God. There are those who focus on the law of God, so much so that they forget about the grace of Christ and think that their works will save them. Then there are those who truly accept the grace of Christ, AND strive to keep the ten commandments not to be saved, but because they love God.

'But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.' (John 4:23-24) I’m sure we all read this verse before, but how many of us actually do what it says? Do you know how to worship God in spirit and truth? Are you sure God accepts your current form of worship? church, we are living in the end times of earth's history and satan is doing all he can to deceive God's children and cause them to compromise their faith. But if we worship God according to the Spirit and the truth of His Word, then we will not be deceived by the ev...
