God Is Moving In Defuniak Springs Florida

-

    There was a time in my life when I questioned God.  Granted, I was a very "new christian" then and much younger.  But now that I have added some years and my views on life and the important things there of, I have changed in my thinking.  I guess that can happen when a person crosses from adult to "senior adult" and looks at things trough wise eyes.  Please indulge me for just a few minutes.

What Must I Do To Be Saved?

This topic is perhaps the most asked question in Christiandom.  Even more so then "Is God real?"  The topic of salvation has been the focus of many over the course of history and will probably be discussed until the return of Jesus Christ, when He will give us the final decision.  Some won't make it to heaven when this life ends.  Oh, you can hold to the long shared idea that "if God loves everyone, He will save all of us.  God would not send someone He loves to hell."  Or would he?  To answer this thought, I w will share the words of a man that I have come to respect and appreciate,  Mike Mazzalongo.  Mike is a graduate of  Oklahoma Christian University and has preached for several congregations in Canada and the United States and is currently with the Choctaw Chrurch of Christ in Choctaw, Oklahoma as missionary to the BibleTalk TV media group.

  Faithfulness in trials means continuing to trust God, obey Christ, and hold on to hope even when life hurts.   For many believers at 1st Christian Church, suffering is not a sign that God has disappeared, it is a moment that tests what we truly believe about His character. Trials can include grief, illness, broken relationships, financial stress, anxiety, persecution, disappointment, and seasons of spiritual dryness. In each case, Christians find strength in God not by pretending pain is small, but by bringing pain into God’s presence, leaning on His promises, and taking faithful steps that keep the heart anchored. When life hurts, the first need is a steady foundation.  Scripture consistently presents God as near to the brokenhearted, faithful to His covenant, and powerful to sustain His people. Strength does not always mean quick relief, it often means endurance, wise choices, and a growing ability to love, forgive, and hope in the middle of hardship. Faithfulness is ...

Blessing Or Bait?

Author Robert Morely said that the main rule for catching bass is letting the fish run with the bait. You want to make sure that the fish feels no resistance so it will think it has the worm with "no strings" attached. The bass will be lulled into a false sense of confidence so he can feel safe enough to swallow the entire bait, hook and all. Once this happens, you just give a strong tug on the line and bring him in. When the hook sinks in, there is no way for it to get away, start the fire, it's fillet time! There is a disturbing parallel here in the way Satan works in luring us into destruction. First, he dangles the bait, and like bait for fish, human bait is always particularly desirable. It can be the promise that we will be noticed as first among others, pleasure of some kind, or easy gain, but whatever it is, the bait is always designed for our weaknesses. Next, and most importantly, he will allow us to run with the bait thinking we can enjoy ourselves with ...
