Satan called a worldwide convention of demons : In his opening address he said, "We can't keep Christians from going to church." "We can't keep them from reading their Bibles and knowing the truth...." "We can't even keep them from forming an intimate relationship with Their SAVIOR." "Once they gain that connection with JESUS, our power over them is Broken." "So let them go to their churches; let them have their covered dish dinners, BUT steal their time, so they don't have time to develop a relationship With JESUS CHRIST.." "This is what I want you to do," said the devil: "Distract them from gaining hold of their SAVIOR and maintaining that Vital connection throughout their day!" "How shall we do this?" his demons shouted. "Keep them busy in the non-essentials of life and invent innumerable Schemes to occupy their minds," he answered.... "...

Hands!

Hands!  ! A basketball in my hands is worth about $19.  A basketball in Michael Jordan's hands is worth about $33 million.  It depends whose hands it's in.  A baseball in my hands is worth about $6.  A baseball in Roger Clemens' hands is worth $475 million.  It depends on whose hands it's in.  A tennis racket is useless in my hands.  A tennis racket in Andre Agassi's hands is worth millions.  It depends whose hands it's in.  A rod in my hands will keep away an angry dog. A rod in Moses' hands will part the mighty sea.  It depends whose hands it's in.  A slingshot in my hands is a kid's toy.  A slingshot in David's hand is a mighty weapon. It depends whose hands it's in.  Two fish and 5 loaves of bread in my hands is a couple of fish sandwiches.  Two fish and 5 loaves of bread in Jesus' hands will feed thousands.  It depends whose hands it's in.  Nails in my hands might produ...

God’s Will is the Best Possible Plan.

God’s Will is the Best Possible Plan.  Ephesians 1:1-20; Colossians 2:2-10 A . The Plan: We can do many things without God (acquire wealth…start a business…get an education…etc.), but only in God’s will can we find true joy, fulfillment, faithfulness…and expect someday to hear from Him… “Well done, good and faithful servant.” That wonderful plan God has already designed for your life and mine contains the very best of Purpose, Adventure, Fulfillment, Joy, and new lessons.

Dinosaurs and the Bible

Most of us loved reading about dinosaurs at some time in our lives. In 1993, the movie “Jurassic Park” stimulated the public interest in dinosaurs far beyond its previous level. As a result, increasing numbers of people have thought, “Since we have found all these fossils and dinosaur bones, we know dinosaurs existed. How come they are not mentioned in the Bible?” Actually, dinosaurs are mentioned in the Bible, and we will prove it by doing the following three things:  Examining the Bible’s text and the related scientific facts.  Explaining the accuracy of the Bible.  Exploring what we are taught in school and through the media. The Bible’s Text The Bible refers to many the common animals we know today. The list includes lions, wolves, bears, sheep, cattle and dogs along with various kinds of birds, rodents, reptiles, and insects. What is interesting is that this extensive list includes three animals that we no longer recognize. These three are (in the original Hebrew...

The Story of Moses and the 10 Commandments Children's Version

Children's Version  The Israelites had been traveling in the desert for about 3 months (which is a little longer than regular summer holidays) when they came to Mount Sinai.  They were going to stay there for a while plus they excellent shelter from the mountain. Moses got unpacked and decided to walk up the mountain to talk to God.  Remember that this wasn't very easy for Moses, he was already over 80 years old.   God knew that Moses was coming so He spoke to Moses and told him to tell the Israelites to get ready.  Moses came down to tell the people to have a bath and to clean all their clothes.   By doing this the people were getting prepared to hear important words from God.  That is why we sometimes dress up or make sure we have clean clothes on when we go to church.  It makes us hopefully behave a little nicer and shows respect to God. On the third morning after Moses had talked to God, the Israelites where busy making their breakfast ...
