LIAR




CS Lewis the great author said that :

“I am trying to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Jesus: “I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept His claim to be God.
” That is the one thing we must not say.
A man who said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil . You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse a liar!!




Very true and that's the same thing with Paul the disciple. Many people are telling me that its 2012 now! How can people still believe in a God!?


It is true that we are in the year 2012 now, it is true that we discovered so many more things, but people weren't stupid back then. They knew the truth, they had eyes to see with, ears to hear with.


They knew how a dead person looked like, how it smelled like. So Paul, why did he travel around talking about Jesus?

Putting himself in so great danger as he did if it was just a lie!?
You can lie trying to get benefits but when people want to kill you I guess everyone would then say what was true or not. But Paul kept on.


They stoned him, they put him in jail, they chased him out of a town.

Paul continued because he knew, he knew the truth. Jesus is risen, Jesus is our only hope. Jesus is God.....


It is even more amazing to know that Paul himself was persecuting the church, he was there when they stoned Stephen to death, but on the way to Damascus Paul changed.


He was saved by the grace of God. so can you..........

Debate

A year ago I saw a debate on tv between one Christian British mathematician and philosopher of science named John Lennox and an evolutionary biologist named Richard Dawkins. The two seams to know each other very well and even if they sometimes really disagree on God's existanse they seem to have a rather good relationship. It is a bit pointless to have these debate since none of them want to change their oppinion no matter how wrong or right they might be. As a follower of Christ I support Mr Lennox but I have respects towards mr Dawkins. What stroke me the other day when my wife and I were at the bookstore was the many books written by Richard Dawkins where he really tries hard to convince us that there is no God. If you are absolutely confident that there is no God, why on earth do you have to write all these books!? If people don't believe there is God, why go so hard? You don't believe in Him yet you hate Him. Psalm 14:1 The fool says in his heart, “There

Forgiven

Saul who later on changed his name to Paul was once a dangerous enemy to Christians. He did almost everything to hunt them down. Saul was a cruel man, responsible for the stoning of Stephen. In my view and in many others he deserved to be treated the same way, he deserved to die. But God had another plan for his life. God wanted him to serve as an example of grace (1 Timothy 1:13-16). Jesus reached out to Saul in a direct and startling way (Acts 9, 22, 26). Saul came to realise that the Gospel was true. He recognised the seriousness of his crimes against God On the road to Damascus Jesus revealed himself to Saul who was stunned and afraid but he did what Jesus told him to do. Blind for three days he waited. Imagine how terrified he must have been not be able to see. Not to be able to really understand what was going on. Once so feared but now so vulnerable A man named Ananias was sent by Jesus to lay hands on Saul and when he did so Saul did three specific things that

Task oriented!

I read a small article by Pastor John Ortberg from Menlo Park Presbyterian Church in California. He said that: "If you are a Pastor or a Church leader you have a calling far more important than you may know". Lots of Pastors or leaders are very "task" orientated. "The great danger in ministry is that we think about the task before us in ways that are too small!" Make budget, trying to fill up the church hall every Sunday, launching nice programs, Working hard to make the church and its vision so easy to understand and handle. We have a task all of us. Jesus said: " Go out in the entire world, go and make disciples. "Teach them to obey everything I have commanded you" Lets go out there....
