Building Bridges.....

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, ...

When I was a kid, I wanted to become a a vet. Some other kids wanted to be: firefighters, police officers, Pilots etc. I do remember some who wanted to be famous singers or hockey players, but we all had dreams. So does kids and teens have today. The difference is that today "famous" is what they want to be. Just famous. It doesn't matter how. Famous! That's why we see all these reality shows on TV. From no one, to famous in just a few days. No matter how, no matter what. Famous is the goal. God loves you just as you are. If you are famous or not. But God has nothing against that you will become famous. In Genesis 12 we read: "The LORD had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing." He made Abraham great. He made Abraham famous. The difference is that God did it i...

To be a leader is to be a follower. True leadership is servant hood. And to become a good follower you must carefully select your mentors. No one can choose these for you. These people will be the leaders who will shape your character and teach you how to be a good leader yourself. As a leader or as a follower I truly believe that you have to be Patient Loyal Honest Willing Good communication and a know how to connect are other areas that they both have to be good at. When two dancers on a dance floor move together as one, the roles they play are well known for them. They feel comfortable together and they trust each other. They know who is leading and who is following. It takes two to dance and it looks strange if they should be up on the dance floor all by themselves. That's why, when God wants to lead you, you better know how to follow. To trust in God and to show him that you are willing to go were he tells you to go, to do the things he wants you to do...

Its been Easter and all over the world people has been celebrating that HE is risen. Even though Europe is pretty secularised it's not with our life at risk that we are attending church services or talking to people about Christ, but in some parts of the world that's exactly what it is! It's dangerous to be a Christian. In Nigeria one Church was attacked during Easter, the same in Kenya. In China its forbidden to celebrate Christian holidays and that's the same in many Muslim countries. I felt so happy and so excited to see this nice picture in the news last Monday, were a lot of Christians, mainly women in Lahore Pakistan, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Lots of people, lots of candles and lots of Hope. Lets pray for them...

In John 14:6 Jesus says “I am the way and the truth and the life" He does not say I am a way, or I am a sort of way, or I am one of many different ways. No Jesus says I am THE way Jesus in the ONLY way. "If you really know me, you will know my Father as well" (John 14:7) Do you know Jesus?
