Building Bridges.....

I just by chance saw on the Internet that the American comedian Penn Jillette wrote a book with the title " GOD NO!" Basically he says in the book that all Christians are wrong, there is no God, by the way he says, I don't have any answers. The British comedian Ricky Gervai said on American TV that he thanks God for making him an Atheist! Here is more Famous American Actor Keanue Reeves says: " My stance as an Atheist has not change" Even more Famous America Actress Jodie Foster says: "How can you ask me if I believe in God when there is absolutely no evidence" I could go on and on with many other celebrities that openly and boldly declares their non beliefs in God. Hollywood is notorious for being hostile to Christians and I wonder why!? do you? The point is not that all these celebrities are open hostile to Christ, I wonder when will we hear the same from them when it comes to Islam? But there are people in Hollywood and in th...

I read a cute story the other day... One of the best pianists in the country were just to start his big nice lunch concert at the main concert hall. People were moving around trying to find their seats. A woman brought her five year old son to the concert and when she found her seats she told her son to sit down and wait while she just very quickly talked to some friends. Just a minute later everyone could hear from the scene the shivering tones of "twinkle twinkle Little star". The five year old boy had left his seat, walked up to the grand piano and now he sat there playing. The mother was of cause very embarrassed and a bit angry at the boy but just as she was going up to get him, the great pianist sat down on the stool beside the boy, whisper in his ear and then he also started to play. The boy continued to play the melody and the maestro played some chords and the harmony part. The audience was spellbound! When you think you are on deep waters,when nothing re...

100%, 75%, 50%? In some churches they hire a Pastor full time, in many other just 50%. It depends on how big or small the Churches are or it can be cultural differences. It can be enough with just 50% if the congregation has a great team, if not , well it aint enough... At one gathering Pastors and missionaries got the question "how many work full time for God"? Just a hand full raised their hands. Hopefully the Pastors were thinking about their employment, not their work. We all need and should work full time for God. So after that question I would like to see all hands in the air. Jesus gave us one specific task and that was " Go and make disciples!" We are all Gods workers. We are all missionaries and we are all leaders. All of us in one way or the other influence people. Lets do that in the right direction for the right reason... Let all go out there in to the mission field! Let them see Gods love...

Fear not, that's written many times in the Bible. 365 times to be exact. one "fear not" for every day during a year. We should not fear, God is with us. If God is with us, who can be against us. Very encouraging to hear. But then in Matthiew 10:28 Jesus says: "And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell" What! God is telling us so many times that Fear not and then suddenly! Well no man or "being" can destroy or kill both your body and soul, only one can do that, GOD. God is able! God has the power both to impart life and to take it away, either temporarily or forever. He can resurrect those whom men have killed. He can also kill in a way no man can. What Jesus says is that we should live our lives in total obedience to God . If men kill us, it will be only temporary. If God kills us, it will be forever.
