Our Total Dependance on God!

I never knew I would experience so much joy being a father. Watch my wife naturally plays with our daughter Rachel is the scene that I don't see this nowhere else, it is priceless. Our daughter will be six months next month, so she can't walk, she can't talk, or sit by her self--she totally depend on me and my wife. There are difficult moments in being a father, but the joy from experience overshadows the negativity. Changing a diaper is not that difficult compare what else comes in the package. In fact, it is the easiest thing to do. Crying on the other side can be a challenge. Me and my wife would hover above Rachel and try to figure out, what does she need. Is she hungry? Is she tired? Maybe it's her teeth that are bothering, this has been our case recently. The fact is, take away her parents and she will not survive by herself. Her total dependance on her dad and mom is her source of life.

The glimpse of this experience reflect the bigger picture of us in the world. Humans are totally dependent on their creator. Matthew writes in chapter six: "Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?" (v. 26). The question is, "are you not of more value than they?" Yes, and yes, people are more value than birds. Matthew writes this illustration to apply towards how people think everyday. "Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'" (v. 31).

Eating, drinking, and having clothes are the basic needs of humanity, and these needs can create anxiety in our heart. I personally don't see people walking naked, or starving on the streets. Simple need for food and clothes Matthew says are taken care by our heavenly Father. How we think, how we plan, and how we live reflect this simple truth. Thus, instead of anxiety, we can experience joy!

Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scripture

For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures , that he was buried , that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:3)

The Last Moments of Christopher Hitchens life

Christopher Hitchens is one of the leading atheist of our times, they call it the new atheism now. He also is the author of a book, “God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything,” that was just recently released; heavily opposing religion and any idea that God exist. But right now Mr Hitchens is in his last stages of the esophageal cancer. The New Your Time describes his last moments of life like this: “Some of these articles were written with the full consciousness that they might be my very last. Sobering in one way and exhilarating in another, this practice can obviously never become perfected.” Another words, Hitchens has little time left. Smoking and drinking was something that Hitchens needed to quit, life was more important then the pleasures of these habits, not mentioning that he had a feeding tube installed since June. He had power in articulating his worldview to others, the ideas, but were these thoughts the reality of our world? You could notice that Mr Hi

Why Job DID NOT cursed God?

http://www.skybluevaping.co.za/image/data/journal/1383-1.jpg The tone of the conversation was different when Satan appeared before God second time. Not because Satan repented or agreed with God, but because his hypothesis fell short. Satan just destroyed Jobs wealth and his children (seven sons and three daughters) using evil men, fire, and wind arguing that this was the reason why Job served God in the first place. Job response to his lost was not a cursing God attitude but a humble worship. “ Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord ” (Job 1:20). When Satan appears before God second time, God asked him the same question as he did in the first conversation, "' Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil? ” (Job 2:3). Since what Satan hoped for become eventually not t
