Charles Spurgeon Preacher

Interesting documentary on Charles Spurgeon:

The Blessing of Small Group

We had our first small bible group today, interesting to note that there is rich background to how and when people come to Christ.  We took most of the time listening to each other about who we are.  Our relationship to Christ was the topic of that conversation.  I wish I could recorded that conversation, things that people said made me understand them much better then just asking their name at church.  To be honest here, I didn't expect more then three or four people coming, but more came.  I guess God is at work no matter what kind of expectation we have. There were two reason why this group came to life.  First is because of the constant visits of our English speaking friends.  Little by little God is drawing people that don’t speak Slavic language, but together we worship do to the faithful man translating every service—our church needed to move towards a deeper relationship level than just friendly greetings hi or bye at the church—fellowship ...

No Love in Marriage

http://www.thezerosbeforetheone.com/wordpress/wp- content/uploads/2012/04/Never-Get-Married-300x300.gif My fourth month marriage anniversary has arrived, and there are already commitments that shaped and continue to shape my own heart.  It is an amazing ride, being Christian with a wife, who shares the same belief, goal, and purpose, makes life beautiful.  The more I live in the union, the more I see the culture differences.  For example, why won't we see love in marriage? Don't get me wrong, there is love in marriage but that's not something we see advertised or talked about everyday; what I am trying to say, love, most of the time promoted, advertised in songs, movies between two people but almost never in the context of marriage.  It is interesting, have sex, date someone, you were made for happiness, just not in marriage—no wonder why there are too many broken lives as people age. In one of my English classes, we talked about atmosphere that helps us be...

Bubba's Watson Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ

Recently Bubba Watson took the prize of the champion for 2012 Masters. In few words, when he was given the microphone, Bubba expressed his thankfulness to the Lord Jesus Christ, his savior. This video eventually went viral on the Internet, but in the comment sections creates a dilemma between those who believe and those who don't. People express their hate toward Bubba calling him moron, other expressed hate towards religion in general. But on the other side, religion people wrote something against evolution and atheism, interesting comments to read and see what is said about Bubba's faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; people are more talking about his faith than his actual achievement as a golfer. One of the comments that got my attention was by the nickname: "Bennythebearful." This person said, "I think his comment about my lord and saviour shows that Bubba is mentally ill." Now is he? Is Bubba a person who is mentally ill? First of all, that is a hars...

Chubby but Accepted

As I was growing up, teenager then adult, my outside appearance was really important for me—I was chubby.  Ok, more then chubby my friends would say.  As a regular young guy, I desired for some girl to look at me and see some beauty, but that would only happen in my dreams.  Constantly from strangers, friends, and family members, I received comment's regarding my weight.  Comment would go like this: "who would ever marry you if you are that chubby."  Actually, I redraw the real comments that people would say. Knowing God, gave me comfort in the moments when I felt not accepted.  I was constantly comforted by scripture, always came back to the truths because the truth made me feel accepted no matter how I looked.  This is what makes God so beautiful, this is because of who He is in His nature—God looks at the human differently no matter how she or he has looks from outside.  Yes, the looks are important but so...
