Heaven

October 8, 2006 mikeandsus

“As human beings, we have a terminal disease called mortality. The current death rate is 100 percent. Unless Christ returns soon, we’re all going to die. We don’t like to think about death; yet, worldwide, 3 people die every second, 180 every minute and nearly 11,000 every hour. If the Bible is right about what happens to us after death, it means that more than 250,000 people every day go either to Heaven or Hell.” ~~~~~~~ This excerpt is from Heaven by David Alcorn (pp. xx – xxi). I actually prefer his shorter work, In Light of Eternity. I haven’t … Continue reading Heaven

The Turning Point

September 9, 2006 mikeandsus

“Stupid idiot!” I exclaimed. As I was ready to go through the intersection near Central City Mall, a car had made a dangerous and illegal turn in front of me. Immediately, James 3: 9 – 10 came into my mind. “With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be.” I was more shaken by that little word from God than from the near miss!

A seed has sprouted

June 30, 2006 mikeandsus

“I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow.” ~ I Corinthians 3:6 NIV Alysson was very grateful to God for her little girl. After several failed pregnancies and her last pregnancy, which almost took her live, Alysson was grateful. . . and her husband was bitter. I had only just met this gal who worked at the fitness center. She managed to tell me her whole life story in about six minutes. I left her with a tract and with an invitation to come hear a creation speaker at our church. “I’ll come,” she enthused. “My … Continue reading A seed has sprouted

You Need Prayer

March 1, 2006 mikeandsus

“Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.” ~ Ephesians 6: 19 – 20 (NIV) Is someone praying regularly for you to be fearless in presenting the Gospel to the people around you? I used to have a homemade post card with this verse on the bottom. When I dropped a note to someone that I was praying for them, this passage from … Continue reading You Need Prayer

They need to see the light

January 30, 2006 mikeandsus

“Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.” – Matthew 5:16 Barry sat alone by the window, eating his sandwich and soup. He seemed like a kind, grandfatherly type, like someone you would enjoy as a neighbor. He was willing to answer our survey questions. “Who is God in your understanding,” Andi asked. “He is life.” Barry explained. “He is everything,” We also learned that he felt mankind was in a mess. He said the problem stemmed from hatred. Barry had friends who … Continue reading They need to see the light
