"If a man die shall he live again? All the days of my appointed time will I wait till my change come." Job 14:14 "Our Savior Jesus Christ...hath abolished death and brought life [everlasting] and immortality to light through the Gospel." 2 Tim. 1:10 THERE is a longing hope within men that death does not end all existence. There is an undefined hope that, somehow and somewhere, the life now begun will have a continuation. In some this hope turns to fear. Realizing their unworthiness of a future of pleasure, many fear a future of woe; and the more they dread it for themselves and others the more they believe in it. This undefined hope of a future life and its counterpart, fear, doubtless had their origin in the Lord's condemnation of the serpent after Adam's fall into sin and death, that eventually the seed of the woman should bruise the serpent's head. This was no doubt understood to mean that at least a portion of the...

What does it mean to praise and worship Almighty God, the God of the Bible? Worship, according to the dictionary means: • to show profound religious devotion • to have intense love and admiration Praise, on the other hand, means: • to express admiration or approval for • to express thanks and worship to God In other words, praise and worship go hand in hand. Praising and worshiping God is not about a ritual, or prayer repetition. It’s not about spending a few minutes a day reading our bible or about reciting our wish list on a daily basis. True worship requires total commitment of our body, mind and spirit. It’s about exalting, adoring and acknowledging the God of the Bible. It has nothing to do with religion, but it has everything to do with having an intimate and profound relationship with God - the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

40 million babies lost to Gods great orphanage, It's a modern day genocide and a modern day disgrace If this is a human right then why aren't we free? The only freedom we have is in a man nailed to a tree. 100 million faces, staring at the sky, Wondering if this HIV will ever pass us by. The devil stole the rain and hope trickles down the plug, But still my Chinese take away could pay for someone's drugs. Our God reigns, Our God reigns, Forever your kingdom reigns. The west has found a gun and it's loaded with 'unsure' Nip and tuck if you have the bucks in a race to find a cure. Psalm one hundred and thirty nine is the conscience to our selfish crime, God didn't screw up when he made you, He's a father who loves to parade you. Yes he reigns, yes you reign, yes you reign, For there is only one true God, But we've lost the reins on this world, Forgive us all, forgive us please, As we fight for this broken world on our knees.

In Luke 17:5 , "the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith." Why did they ask that? Because they understood that faith was a key element in their relationship with God. Abraham is called the father of faith, and he was forgiven (or justified) before God because he showed in his life that nothing was more precious to him than to have faith and trust in God. His faith was severely tried though before he received this title. Abraham fathered Isaac, after waiting for this son of promise for almost half a century. When Isaac became a teenager, God told Abraham, "Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering." What an incredible request from God! But Abraham ...
