God created equals...

If you believe God and the bible is His Word then His Word is absolute authority which means nothing and I mean nothing over rides it especially man and his fallible word. So in saying that you need to know this:

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

3a Then God said,

this is how God created everything...He spoke it into existence. Not a big bang....He spoke it!

5 c So the evening and the morning were the first day.

This a 24 hour day folks not millions of years...so we have a young earth!

10 c And God saw that it was good.

Every thing was good. This is important to know because if the earth is millions of years old like evolutionists say then death, sickness, and sin came into the world before the fall of Adam and Eve which makes God’s Word false!

Exodus 34:21“Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest; in plowing time and in harvest you shall rest.

24 hour days and a 7 days in a week came from the Word of God which also proves a literal 24 hour a day in God’s creation which also helps prove a young earth. 

These are some foundational teachings brothers and sisters... and one other you need to know is fossils and layers which evolutionists try to say prove an old earth but these happened in the flood which would make a layers and fossils buried!

Genesis 7:17 Now the flood was on the earth forty days. The waters increased and lifted up the ark, and it rose high above the earth.

Man has lots of hole in his theories. God’s Word does not....who you gonna go with....man or God?

I am not that bad....

God listens!

You can do it!

Hebrews 12:1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,

This life of following Jesus is not easy. He told us Himself it would not be many times. This life is a marathon not a sprint and we must endure much as we are told above. As the day to day struggles come our way let us be reminded of the great faithful witnesses of the Bible like Moses, Abraham, Joseph, Daniel, Noah, Mary, Peter, Paul, Nicodemus, and John the Baptist. Also don’t forget those godly influences in your life like mom, dad, Aunt, Uncle, a grandparent, Sunday School teacher, Pastor, or even a neighbor who took the time to share Jesus and influence you in the ways of God. All these folks are in heaven rooting for you to endure in the life of following and serving Jesus! 

As the verse says there are lots of sins and weights in life that are trying to take us down, keep pushing my friend! This is not your home, heaven is so keep fighting for the Lord and HIS GLORY!

I am grateful that we have a fan club in heaven urging us forward! They have completed their race and may we do the same!

Keep focus!

Go for peace!

Alright it is Monday, we are tired, and who knows what went on in your house this morning as everyone headed out to work and school. Nerves may be on edge so let us be reminded of this:

Hebrews 12:14 Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord:

You are representing Jesus is you are one of His followers today. Are you pursing peace with all you comes into contact today? You may be the only Jesus some see today... let us remember that and make our King proud! 

Think on that!

Tom

We win!

Every once in a while I like to remind the followers of Jesus that no matter what you are facing in life right now...in the end we win!

Revelation 5:5 But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals.”

The Lion of Judah, the Root of David is Jesus!!!! He has prevailed! Praise the Lord!

Brothers and sisters we win!
