HOW CAN YOU KNOW THE TRUTH?

How can you know for certain that Jesus is truth? Jesus clearly says in John 14:6 “I am the way the truth and the life. Pretty heavy claim for anyone to make at the time. During that time, Jews were taught to worship and follow an invisible God. Jesus appeared to them as a man. However Jesus performed miracles that set him apart from the many prophets the preceded him. He lived a blameless life and he rose himself from the dead. We weren't there 2011 years ago to see the events take place with our own eyes. So, how do we know that Jesus is the truth? We can know the truth based on it's characteristics. John 8:31-32 testifies that Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. People today are being set free from their sins by accepting Jesus, the truth, into their hearts. Some people have over come pride, lying, addiction, jealousy, stealing, murdering, lust or sexual promiscuity, and even cursing by accepting the Truth as king over their hearts. Another characteristic about the truth is that the truth has no contradictions. John 4:24 testifies that God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth. When someone is changed by the truth a real commitment shows in their lifestyle and personal attitude. So if the son (Jesus) sets you free, you will be freed indeed. John 8:36 (NIRV)

THE FIGHT IS ON!

It began over 10,000 years ago and it is still going on now. The fight is on! What fight? You may ask. The fight of your life. The fight for your attention. The fight for your heart, your allegiance, your will. For too long, our hope has been placed in temporary things. It's about time we open up our eyes to the obvious sin that's been going on inside and around us. Take a stand against evil and join the fight for good! There's good news! The battle has been won. Jesus stepped in and saved mankind from the grips of hell by sacrificing his life as a payment offering for all our evil doings. You are not alone. Jesus is with you in the middle of life's biggest battles. Don't let your soul and will get pushed around by sin; there's no promise or peace in the kingdom of darkness. There's a better kingdom at hand. One that will last forever and ever: The kingdom of God. His kingdom come. His will be done in earth, as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:10). When you become a good fighter you have hope and a purpose in this life and an important role in the afterlife in heaven. What does a good fighter look like? A good fighter is always wearing the full armor of God. So stand firm. Put the belt of truth around your waist. Put the armor of godliness on your chest. Wear on your feet what will prepare you to tell the good news of peace. Also, pick up the shield of faith. With it you can put out all of the flaming arrows of the evil one. Put on the helmet of salvation. And take the sword of the Holy Spirit. The sword is God's word (Ephesians 6:14-17). Remember, the battle has been won for you, just keep fighting the good fight of faith and you will celebrate in the victory; here on earth and in heaven!

WHY PICK JESUS?

There's hope, healing, forgiveness, and renewal, when we surrender our lives to Jesus. He's is mighty to save us from our self destructive paths but we have to make a move, we have to believe, ask, and receive. In doing so, we make a choice to let Jesus take over our hearts and make us clean and whole again. We can hold our heads up high because we know that Jesus Christ has redeemed us. He set us apart to make a difference in our lives so that we too, who are strong in faith, can make a difference in the lives of others. Believe. Ask. Receive.

DOES GOD LIKE SEX?

Without sex; there goes the human population! Sex matters a lot! The question is does God like sex. The answer is yes, yes and many times over yes. After all he created sex. It's the just this world's deceptive view of sex that God frowns upon. Especially the way people treat each other by involving themselves in sexual sin. Fornication, incest, adultery, homosexuality, bestiality, and rape in God's eyes all fall under the same category as sin; no special class or level of sin is implied. When we involve ourselves in sexual sin we are not only turning our backs on God's better plan for our lives but we are also hurting the people we get ourselves involved with. Not just emotional damage but also physical damage as well. Rejection, heartache, emptiness, brokenness, regret, addiction, disease, and illness to name a few are some of the consequences that flows from sexual sin. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Philippians 2:3. Wrap your body as a pure gift before God in holy matrimony to your current or future spouse. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. 1 Corinthians 6:13.
It's okay to feel sexy but having sex is one thing for one person who is committed to you and you to them. So go ahead have sex but in the right context!
