How Can They Say He Does Not Exist!

My heart goes out to those people who do not know the Lord, Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. But it goes out even more so to those who boldly and firmly insist that he does not exist! How can they say this when his glory is all around us! God is in everything (Genisis 1:21-So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good).



Okay for starters, let's look at nature alone. Look at the many different plants and trees that exist. Not to mention the beautiful flowers and the overwhelming pleasant scents that they posses. The many different colors and shapes and sizes of fruit. The mere fact that they have some substance known to us as fructose, which makes them taste sweet. They are naturally sweetened because God sweetened them. Or just look at the way birds fly in formation, the way a spider spins her web, the way a caterpillar changes into a butterfly, I could go on and on. But these are just a few ways that demostrate God. The amazing fact that the boundary of the sea is the sand, which it can never cross is extraordinary in it's self (Jeremiah 5:22-Should you not fear me?" declares the LORD. "Should you not tremble in my presence? I made the sand a boundary for the sea, an everlasting barrier it cannot cross. The waves may roll, but they cannot prevail; they may roar, but they cannot cross it).




Now let's look at the human body. Both inside and outside are beautiful, but for now let's focus on the inside. It's intricate design speaks for itself. The simple fact that we have 206 bones that comprise our bodies also speaks for itself. Just look at the thousands of veins which run through our bodies. Or the many muscles and tissues that form us. The heart is a wonder of itself, along with the lungs and kidneys, and reproductive system. The miracle of birth extraordinary. I now realize this more so now that I have two kids. Now lets take a short look at the outside. We are all different shapes, sizes and colors. It goes beyond the shapes and sizes of our bodies. Our noses', our eyes, our hair; our whole bodies are outstanding works of art!

There are so many other examples of God's beauty and creativity. Regardless of what some scientist say, I personally know all of this is not by chance! To those of u who who boldy feel that there is no God, I dare u to pick up the Bible and read it. There was a man, well for that matter a few scholars over time, who professed there was no God. One was thoroughly studying the Bible to disprove it. During this time period while he was studying he became a born again believer and began to profess Christ's name boldly! The Bible is truly living! (Hebrews 4:12- For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Matthew 4:4 Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.' Matthew 24:35-Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.) So I challege u today to read the Bible from front to back and then tell me that there is no God!

*Note- For those of u just starting to read the Bible you might find it helpful to start w/ the Gospels of the New Testament (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John).

Wow!

All I can say is wow. I was not even planning on writing this post today until I read the comments from my last post.

I recently recontructed my whole page. I deleted everything of my old one. I decided to glorify the Lord (after all that is what the Word calls us to do-Romans 15:6). But it's crazy how when my page reflected everyday worldly things I practically got no comments, but now that I am doing the will of God, I get opposition (not to mention encouragement also- thanks to those of u who are not blinded and know the Lord Jesus Christ as ur Savior). Oh and Big Ups to my baby Sis, Ree, who always has my back.

I was just going to comment in the comments section but I had way too much to say. As far as the first comment by astraea. What I was saying is exactly the opposite of of technical and scientific. It's worshipping Christ in truth and spirit as the Bible commands (John 4:24- "God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.") . And u saying "what on Earth is a relationship w/ Christ" could not have proven my point anymore- Christians today are very blinded and lack a relationship w/ Christ and some don't even know what one is. Case and point clearly proven. Thank u so much, astraea, for ur demonstration. As far as belief, of course u have to have belief before u can have relationship (Acts 16:31). To the second comment posted by hadijah alsogoff (oh and I'm not Jewish, by the way), it's not about religion; it's about relationship. It's not about getting another religion because people lack faith in the one true God. Oh and by the way I did not say people of my religion barely read their Bibles, I was speaking of Americans in general. It's not about a religion benefiting me! It's about how we glorify God, how we are witnesses of God in our everyday life. And we cannot do that if we are out of fellowship (relationship) w/ him. We cannot hear God's voice and yield to his will if we do not pick up his Word daily (Matthew 4:4, John 18:31); if we do not get on our knees and have conversations w/ him daily (Proverbs 15:8, 1 Thessalonians 5:17).


I can't say I was surprised by those two comments because the Word says the world will hate those who are believers: John 15:18-19: If the world hates u, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world it would love u as it's own. As it is you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.........If they persecuted me, they will persecute u also. 1 John 3:13: Do not be surprised, my brothers if the World hates u. So I wasn't surprised; just saddened and my heart goes out to those who made those comments. But the comments gave me more of an inspiration for my page and even more in witnessing. But I definitely will keep those of u in prayer who are struggling w/ your walk in Christ or who have not established a relationship w/ him and those who do not know him as their personal savior. Cause it is crucial!

I leave u w/ this scripture: 1 Peter 3:14,15: But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. "Do not fear what they fear; do not be frightened." But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander. It is better, if it is God's will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.

Whats Really Going On!

"It is a great day for a little child when he learns to feed himself; so it becomes a new era in a believer's life when he forms the habit of going daily to the original sources of spiritual truth for his own personal nourishment."

America, I dare u to examine yourselves! What is going on w/ the Christians (including myself) this day in age. I had to really re-examine myself last week and I encourage u to also.

How many of u honestly have a relationship w/ the Lord? Okay a lot of u may have quickly said yes. But I ask u to ask yourself again. Okay we all know what relationship means. How can we call ourselves Christians when we barely spend time w/ Christ. How Often do u read ur Bible? 64% of Americans do not read their Bibles, which leaves us w/ 36% that do. And the 36% could possible only read their Bible on Sundays while at church. This is sad, really sad.

In order to maintain a relationship w/ God u must meet w/ him Daily through prayer and study. We call ourselves Chrisians but watch on an average 15 hours of TV a week! And spend 2 hours w/ God a week (and for most of us thats in Church on Sundays). We call ourselves Christians, but pollute our minds and our hearts w/ filth! We watch music videos that degrate self worth. We participate in the same things which those who are going to Hell particitpate in- Fornication for one. Many of us who call ourselves Christian have premarital sex, but for some reason excuse it! And think it's okay! We get drunk and go to parties and the club just as the world does! We have more secular music than Christian music in our homes. We praise God in Church w/ Songs and Hallelujahs, but we don't realize that God could care the less about our praise if our lives are not right!

We are failing to see that the end times are at hand. We are the church age that thinks we are saved. The majority of Christians today are neither hot nor cold and the Lord will spit u out! It's serious. We do eveything that the Bible speaks against and still call ourselves Christians! We all need a reality check

The Bible is the living Word! And the Word is God! The Bible is to be our spiritual milk and without it we can not grow. Try it, I dare u! Read the Bible for one week and see how much u grow and how much closer your relationship is w/ Christ. Without that close relationship we cannot hear God's voice. We pray and wonder why we have not heard back from God? We wonder why we miss blessings the Lord has for us? We wonder why when it's all said and done the Lord says- I do not know u, Depart from me.

I urge u and your households to be strong in God's Word. And pick it up each and every day as if it were medicine and u would die without it. The Church as a whole will grow and we will then begin to experience the power which God has for us in our lives and in witnessing.


Do not love the world or anything in the world. For if anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world; the cravings of sinful man, the lust in his eyes, and the boasting of what he has and does comes not from the Father; but from the world. The world and it's desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.
