"I believe in Christianity as I believe that the Sun has risen not only because I see it but because by it I see everything else" - C.S Lewis It would be a mistake to think that Christianity does nothing more than tell us what happens when we die. It does even more than simply tell us how to live. The Word of God is the lens through which every thing else comes into focus. We need to learn to

Here are ten inspirational bible verses that deal with comfort. After reading you might want to share some of your own. 1. Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Matthew 11:28-29, NKJV 2. Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God,

Last evening during our weekly bible study Pastor Tom spoke on Hebrews 3:1 "Consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess." We spent time discussing the text consider Jesus. Pastor Tom suggested that we spend time during the week in meditation on those words. I googled consider Jesus and found the following website. Consider Jesus Thoughts for Daily Duty, Service, and

They were going about there daily work as fishermen at the Sea of Galilee when Jesus walked by and said, “Follow me and I will make you fishers of men. They immediately left their nets and followed Him”. I wonder how many of us are out there today, weary and discouraged because things haven’t turned out as we once envisioned. Looking at our lives and ministries we wonder why there isn’t more to

“Again the high priest asked him, ‘Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?’ ‘I am,’ said Jesus. ‘And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.’ ” (Mark 14:61-62) We come to late Thursday night in this terrible beautiful week.

This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. If we claim to be without sin,

A guy joins a monastery and takes a vow of silence: He’s allowed to say two words every seven years. After the first seven years, the elders bring him in and ask for his two words. “Cold floors,” he says. Seven more years pass. They bring him back in and ask for his two words. “Bad food,” he says. Seven more years pass. They bring him in for his two words. “I quit,” he says. “That’s fine,”

John 3:19-21 (Phi) "This is the judgment: that light has entered the world, and men have preferred darkness to light because their deeds were evil. Everybody who does wrong hates the light and keeps away from it, for fear his deeds may be exposed. But everybody who is living by the truth will come to the light to make it plain that all he has done has been done through God."

“Every time you forgive someone who hurt you, encourage someone who feels defeated, extend compassion to someone who stands alone, confront someone in love, open your heart to a friend, reconcile with an enemy, devote time to a child, you align yourself with God’s central purpose in this world.“

Being a Christian should be decidedly uncool; it's not cool to go without a lot of money, it's not cool to value compassion over power, and it's not cool to hold back snarky gossip, but those are all the things that Christ taught us to do. If we spend too much time trying to become cool, than the kingdom of God becomes indistinguishable from the kingdom of earth. As Shane Claiborne says, God
