In the USA it seems easy to boldly speak of our trust in God and when times are tough even our nations  leaders direct us to God.   ‘The word God first appeared in the German translation of the bible and simply means supreme being. 

One of the greatest challenges to believers today in the USA is to connect to the God of the bible in such a way as to be full of His word (Jesus).  This is the Way from believing there is a God to knowing and showing the One true God who is Love and always good news.  This is the God who promises us never to leave us and to live in us.  To know Him is to Love Him and worthy of our endless worship.  No time spent in the pursuit of The Truth is ever wasted.  How much of what we do gives us only temporary satisfaction at best? 

The God of the bible continually satisfies eternally offering us a way out of Egypt and into The Kingdom of God NOW and forever.  What a wonderful day it was when i began to see the Bible was not a book about somebody.  The bible is is someboody.  The Bible is Jesus!  The ‘Truth, The Way The Life 

Thank You God for your precious word so that we could know you intimately and your awesome Love  for each and every one of us.

No Cause to Blush

Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed. (Isaiah 54.4)

We shall not be ashamed of our faith. Carping critics may assail the Scriptures upon which we ground our belief, but every year the Lord will make it more and more clear that in His Book there is no error, no excess, and no omission. It is no discredit to be a simple believer; the faith which looks alone to Jesus is a crown of honor on any man’s head and better than a star on his breast.We shall not be ashamed of our hope. It shall be even as the Lord has said. We shall be fed, led, blest, and rested. Our Lord will come, and then the days of our mourning shall be ended. How we shall glory in the Lord who first gave us lively hope and then gave us that which we hoped for!We shall not be ashamed of our love. Jesus is to us the altogether lovely, and never, never, shall we have to blush because we have yielded our hearts to Him. The sight of our glorious Well-beloved will justify the most enthusiastic attachment to Him. None will blame the martyrs for dying for Him. When the enemies of Christ are clothed with everlasting contempt, the lovers of Jesus shall find themselves honored by all holy beings, because they chose the reproach of Christ rather than the treasures of Egypt CHS/vr
