Did God really say that?

1Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman,Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? (Gen. 3.1)

From the beginning of creation the first approach of Satan towards us is to get us to doubt what God says. Without the Word of God, what is there to measure truth. God says "Thou shalt not kill", if that is not true, what keeps me from killing someone and seeing nothing wrong with it? 

We need to decide if we are going to trust God's Word as the absolute truth or to totally discard it, there is no middle ground. If God's Word is true, then we are answerable to HIm, the Creator of the universe. If we have have been randomly developed from a rock, then whatever we decide is truth and thus resulting in "Every man doing what is right in their eyes (understanding)."

I wold like to recommend that God's way is better than our ways. Adam and Eve trusted Satan and see where that has lead us?

Are you willing to serve God?


15And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.16And the people answered and said, God forbid that we should forsake the LORD, to serve other gods; Joshua 24.15-16

In the world today we are seeing many serious problems. People are looking for the answers in many areas. Yet to be honest it boils down to what Joshua talks about in the above verse. Joshua stands before the people and demands they make a choice (and to be ready to live with the results.) 
To be honest, there are only two decisions to chose from, to serve God or not to serve God.There is no middle ground, we can’t do both.  We have many who try to serve both God and the World.
Why was Joshua such a great success? He kept his promise he made in verse 15. He decide that he and his house would serve the Lord. As we read through the account of Joshua’s life, we see that he did live for the Lord until he died.
The question today is “Who will you serve? God or the World?”

Comfort in Death And Everyday Life

4 Yeathough I walk through the valley of the shadow of deathI will fear no evilfor thou art with methy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Psalm 23.4 


     How many times have we heard the phrase, "A fate worse than death"? In the human mind death is perhaps the worst thing that can happen to us. yet it is comforting to know that even in death, Christ is with us. The biggest help when we are going through something is to have someone with us who has already experienced the same event and lived to tell about it. Christ is the only man that has overcome death anad is able to help us through it.
    Also keep this in mind, if Christ is with us in death, wouldn't he be with us in the everyday problems? How comforting it should be to know that NO MATTER what I have going on in my life Christ is with me. We also have the comfort of his rod and staff.

Where are you looking for help?

1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hillsfrom whence cometh my help.
2 My help cometh from the LORDwhich made heaven and earth.
3  He will not suffer thy foot to be movedhe that keepeth theewill not slumber.
4 Beholdhe that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD is thy keeperthe LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6 The sun shall not smite thee by daynor the moon by night.
7 The LORD shall preserve thee from all evilhe shall preserve thy soul.
8 The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming infrom this time forthand even for         evermore. Psalm 121.1-8


      The last few weeks I have seen some of my friends start going through some rough times. Yet through what seems like impossible events happening in their lives they have stood firm in their faith in our Lord. The question is how are they able to live through such incredible sorrows? Simply, it all goes back to what they based their faith in for their help.
     There will be a limit to what we can do for each other but when we seek the Lord for the answers, there is no limit.  David wrote the above psalm in the times of trouble. I love verse 2, David assures us that our help comes from the Lord, the one who made the heavens and earth. Think about that fact alone. The One who created and controls everything will give us the help we need. There is no problem to big for Him to handle. Unlike many other false gods, our Lord never sleeps or lacks anything, He is always fully aware of our problems.
     So, my dear friend, if you are struggling today with any problem, go to the only one who can truly help you, the Lord Jesus Christ. If you are His, he promises to help you thorough anything that comes into your life. If you are not his, where will you get help that WILL ANSWER your needs?
