Nothing But Christ
"For in Him were all things created, in the heavens and upon the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions
or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him and unto him; and he is before all things, and in him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church;
who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all thing, he might have the preeminence. For it was the good pleasure of the Father that in him should all the fullness dwell;
and through him to reconcile all things unto himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross; through him, I say whether things upon the earth, or things in the heavens."
(Colossians 1:16-20) |

LIFE, DEATH AND ABORTION
Perhaps the most crucial question in the long abortion debate is when the fetus is to be considered a human being.
I've heard many answer from conception to the moment of birth. I've listened to evidence for the particular positions on this subject taken from science -- such factors as genetic
uniqueness (science of heredity - one soul) the development of the cardiovascular system heart) or the presence of brain waves. From this we could answer this question as many have
before me from my emotions or what others have determined it to be. But I'm not able to do this in a good clear conscious, to come to the same conclusion as so many have.
We understand without any doubt in my system that we are created by a greater being than any of us in human form. |

What Is Repentance?
For thousands of years mankind has heard preachers wailing away from the pulpits, on street corners, and in tent revivals preaching,
“Repent and flee the Wrath to come.” Today's preachers convey that very same message through mass evangelism via the radio, television and over the internet. However,
most cannot agree on what true repentance is, and what to repent of. This article will open your eyes to understand the TRUTH of what the Bible teaches about the life long process
of conversion and true repentance. |

God – I’m Depressed
Most Christians face the same problems non-Christians face. However, many Christians are unaware that God has provided principles in His
Word to help handle life's pressures and problems. You have to understand and examine some of man's basic problems in the light of God's Word. I am aware that simplistic answers do not
solve the sticky problems of everyday life. I am also aware that there are some Scriptural principles that deal effectively with problems of all kinds. No single problem stands alone.
Usually it is inter-related with others.Taking time to think about the above problems I started with number one "I'm depressed." |

GOD - I'M Tempted
Temptation has been defined as "an effort to try to persuade, induce, entice especially to something sensually pleasurable or immoral.
" It means "to arouse a desire." Basically, temptation is that inner voice that says "go ahead and do it" when you know you should not. Like a story been told of a man hunted in vain
for a parking space and in desperation left his car in a no parking zone with a note on the windshield: "I’ve circled this block ten times and I have an appointment to keep or lose my job.
Forgive us our trespasses." |

GOD - I FEEL GUILTY
Have you ever said, "I feel so guilty because I ---------------" Of course you have. We all face the problem of guilt. Because we have a
conscience, guilt is a problem. Conscience has been balled by many "the voice of God within us--the knowing part of man which agrees with God's revelations of right and wrong.
"It was created in us by God to operate according to divine law. Since the testimony of conscience rests upon divine law, it's beyond our control. |

GOD I'M WORRIED
Worry has been defined as anxiety - a state of being uneasy or apprehensive about what may happen. The definition suggests a mental distress
of agitation over some problem. Uneasiness of mind results from facing responsibilities or problems we feel incapable of handling. I've heard it said, "Worry is the interest paid by
those who borrow trouble." In the New Testament, "Worry" (Merimna) means "to divide." which comes from the Greek verb MERIZO. People who worry are "divided" - mentally torn apart.
Just reading the newspapers exposes us to a multitude of problems capable of producing worry. Sometimes we feel we're sitting on a pile of gunpowder while world leaders play with matches.
Inflation is another problem to worry about. While we watch our money buy less and less, we wonder how to feed and clothe our families on a shrinking income. |
