Jeremiah the profit quotes God as saying,

“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” 

                                                                                               Jeremiah 29:13

Someone has said of atheists,

Maybe the atheist cannot find God 

for the same reason a thief cannot find a policeman. 

                                                                              Author Unknown.

It’s true you must be truly searching for God with an open mind and a sincere heart. Otherwise you will never find God.

Please think about it. 

A Fundamental Truth

A Fundamental Truth.
The book of Genesis states,
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1.
This statement sums up the first two chapters of the book of Genesis. At the same time it sums up what both Jews and Christians believe. “God created the universe and everything in it.”
When the book of Genesis was written as with all Biblical books it was not intended as a book of science. It was written as a book of faith intended to be understood by all people from the most ancient of days to the present time.
Had the writer attempted to write the book in modern scientific terms the readers prior to our generation and many in our generation would not have understood it.
The book of Genesis simply states “God created the heavens and the earth” how it was created, be it through the big bang, through evolution over millions of years, or in six twenty-four hour days is unimportant.
The only important fact is “God created the heavens and the Earth.”
That being said, the Bible points out that there is evidence of God saying,

“The heavens declare the glory of God; 

the skies proclaim the work of his hands. 

Day after day they pour forth speech;

 night after night they display knowledge. 

There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard.” 

                                                                         Psalm 19:1-3.

The way I see it is the perfection of the universe from the largest galaxy to the smallest subatomic particle speaks of a divine creator. For we live in a universe that is designed in such a way that it makes it possible for we as human beings to exist. I for one cannot believe this is simply by chance.
Thus the choice is up to you. Do you believe there is a God who created the universe and everything in it or not?
Please think about it.

The letter James was described to me as a “Christian how too” letter. A letter all who claim to be followers of Christ need to read and heed.
He writes,
“But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it—he will be blessed in what he does. 
If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless.  
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” James 1:25-27
James makes several points to the believer
1/ He tells us that we should be studying the word of God. That by doing so we will be blessed.
2/ That we should keep a tight rein on our tongue. That not doing so can make his faith worthless.
The wrong word can sometimes be more damaging that a physical injury. What we say can either point people to God or away from God. Can point people to eternal life with God or an eternity without him.
If our words are not pointing people to God then our faith is worthless because the whole duty of a believer in Christ is to point people to eternal life with God.
3/ James states “Religion that God our Father accepts is pure and faultless”
We are to keep true to what the scriptures say. Not twist them to say what we want them to say. This is the only faith God accepts.
4/ We are to look after the widows and orphans.
We are to look after those who cannot look after themselves.  As one pastor told me “our faith must has legs”.
James later in his letter reminds us that faith without works is useless.
Question. If you claim to be a Christian what are you doing for Christ?
Please think about it.
