When Jesus says so.... (Mark 4:35-41)

  When Jesus says so…   Let us go… (Mark 4:35-41)   If you look at that day in the life of Jesus and his disciples, it was a day loaded with teaching from Jesus, mostly about faith and the word.  So, you would have thoughts that after the teachings on the seeds planted on different grounds and the mustard seed.  They would be full of faith and believe.  Let us look at this passage! At the end of the day, Jesus told them: “Let us go to the other side of the lake.  Picture this, they were probably as tired as you are when Jesus ask you to do something.  They went anyway and lo and behold, a storm shows up.  At that time in the story, you like to wonder about Jesus.  Do you wonder also when Jesus asks you to do something and then everything goes wrong, and you want to tell Jesus.: “I knew it or I told you so”.  On top of it all as apparently, they were sinking and almost dying, Jesus was sleeping.   Jesus sleeping…you are hurting   Something is humanly wrong here.  Jesus,

God with us....Forever

  God with us…Forever   From the beginning of times   From the beginnings of beginnings, God was there fashioning and building what we see and feel what is all around us today.  In Psalm 90, we are told that before the mountains and that the world was born into existence.  He was there and he was God.  That same living God is with you today through whatever situation you find yourself in.  He is with you on Mondays and throughout the week.  Don’t miss him!  The Bible clearly shows that he is with his people when times are tough for them.  He cares immensely for each one of us more than we care for ourselves.  We cannot make excuses for leaving him.  People all around us may mess us up enormously, but it does not mean it is God’s fault.  We should not turn our back on him for that reason.  Today, too many things are blamed on others including God and it is not fair.  Whatever, you decide to do with others or with God don’t forget he still has the last word on your life.  He is t

Beauty in Mankind

  Beauty in Mankind   Man and Woman   A simple look at the first and second chapter of the Book of Genesis shows that Adam and Eve were perfect with some choices to make.   Since the time they disobeyed God until the time of Jesus Christ coming to earth, God was using sacrificed as a substitute to bring back his people to himself.   Irrevocably, God has wanted to be friends with humans for a long time. Over 2000 years ago Jesus Christ was born in this world to save it from sin and punishment coming.   The wrath of God is upon every man and woman that does not believe in him.   There is a total separation between humans and God currently.   He is prompting and urging them one at a time to have a relationship with him through Jesus.   Why Jesus?   He is the only human who was born of a virgin (Mary).   Consequently, because of this he did not inherit the sinful nature that we all have, since he was conceived by the Holy Spirit in her womb.   This makes him the Son of Go

Beauty in Faith

    Law vs. Faith   Many in the world are motivated by the Law.  Continually pushed and shoved around by what they should and should not do.  The voice of legalism ruling in their churches and religions.  There are a lot of false religions in this world.  We must be aware that there is only one possible path to God.  It is narrowed not by rules and obligations but by the commandments of Jesus.  To love others as we make this path the narrowest there is.  Living by faith fulfills the command of love and faith is the only way you are going to please God (Hebrews 11:6).  Without faith it is impossible to please God.  The obedience to the Law does not fulfill.  It is belief in him that cause one to live by faith.    The Beauty of Faith   The beauty of faith is the freedom you will find in God after you start loving him and obeying his voice. Jesus should be the Only One to be worshipped by you.  It is no longer God or Jesus and something else to be worshipped.  Jesus Christ

Beauty in God

    The Only One   God says it himself a few times in the Bible and not only that, but he is also the Only One living God.   Is it not awesome.   It makes it a lot simpler for all of us.   We do not choose, he chooses! Life is so simple, and we make it complicated. Furthermore, out of the gods out there he is the Only One alive.   Does this mean all the other ones are dead.   What is the point of worshipping a dead god.   Jesus is the Son of God, and he is alive, trust him!   He is not mean   This living God has been given a bad reputation by most.   We don’t understand him, or we don’t want to know him.   One or the other! To me though, he has been good.   It is just that I have made a lot of mistakes and sometimes I want to blame God for them.   That old blame games.   It is not his fault when I make mistakes, is it?   It is still not the end of the world because I make a mistake it is just that it costs me more. God is full of love and compassion; he forgives
