Life after death, on its own, does not bring hope. Forgiveness brings hope. Christ brings hope. And I believe, because I was there to see it, that Christ can be found with a simple heartfelt prayer.

ATHESIM-No Moral Motivation in a God less World
God himself is available for both moral direction (through natural law and special revelation) and moral strength through the guidance and power of the Holy Spirit.
KINGDOMS IN CONFLICT
Physical battles involve spiritual ones, and it works in the opposite as well. We must recognize that it is only the Gospel and the sight of Jesus in his saving grace that can give us faith and genuine obedience. Command and threats are part of Scripture, and we need to acknowledge them, and when we do so, we will more deeply feel our need for Jesus Christ, but commands and threats, even when nicely issued as helpful suggestions, cannot fill our sails with faith, hope, and love. Apart from the Gospel, the law is the most terrible burden and can lead us to either despair or the delusion of self-righteousness.
Whom Having Not Seen.
Love is not a feeling, love is the foundation of faith. Do you love God? Do you love Him with all of your heart? Do you choose to love and treasure Christ over the things of this world? Worship is a choice. Who you choose to worship is a choice. Your heart can either worship God or the gods of this world.
THE ALL-SEEING.
THE omniscience of God is usually considered a fundamental doctrine of natural religion. Nobody denies it. Infidelity in this department is acted, not spoken. Speculative unbelievers are wont, in a free and easy way, to set down at least a very large proportion of the existing Christian profession to the credit of hypocrisy.
His Word Is Alive.
Choose to declare the Word of God over your life. Declare His Word in every area of your life. Declare His Word in every season of your life. His Word is powerful. His Word is active. His Word is energizing.
我们必须在理性和信仰之间做出选择吗?
在当今的许多圈子中,给人的印象是,我们面临着思考与信仰之间的选择。我们给人的印象是,信仰和理性的姿态在某种程度上是相互排斥的。我们生活在文化中的词语似乎证实了事实与价值之间的鸿沟。有客观事物,科学和艰苦现实的真实世界;那里充满了品味,见解和个人价值观。我们被告知,这个鸿沟是真实存在的,并且始终存在。公共和私人世界的概念进一步加强了这种划分,即一组领域中的一组价值或标准规则,而另一领域中的一组不同的规则。然后,这在教会中常常因神圣与世俗之间的鸿沟而加重。所使用的语言清楚地将被视为“上帝”的语言(传教,祈祷和传福音)与被视为“世界”的语言(商业,政治,媒体等)进行了划分。
BY HIS BLOOD AND WATER
What man could not provide, God Himself has provided. It is to these actions and revelations of our sovereign God, and we look towards in all His promises.
That when Christ returns, we would have achieved all that God had predestined for us.
Do we have to choose between reason and faith?
belief is seen as something mystical, existential, and defying rational boundaries or requirements. For the Christian in such a context, thinking, theology, and reasoning can be seen as unnecessary distractions to “simple” or “pure” faith.
WHAT DO YOU VALUE?
What do you value more than God? Does your wealth sit higher than God? Do you value your influence with man more than your relationship with God? Choose to turn from overvaluing your Earthly treasures and surrender to God.
