Philippian 4:14-23
14 Nevertheless you have done well that you shared in my distress. 15 Now you Philippians know also that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church shared with me concerning giving and receiving but you only. 16 For even in Thessalonica you sent aid once and again for my necessities. 17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that abounds to your account. 18 Indeed I have all and abound. I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things sent from you, a sweet-smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God. 19 And my God shall supply all your…

Philippians 2:5-11
5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. We aren’t told to be humble and are expect to just know what or how. Jesus, who is God, who was with God the Father in the beginning (John 1:1-3), first showed us…

Living a Purpose Filled Life
Third email reply I sent my friends after I sent them some links about dinosaur tissue finds: (read the first& second replies) My belief in God is not temporary in the least; Jesus has a death grip on my heart, His death on the cross. Hinduism, belief in Brahman, the unchangeable god that is everything and everything is him, including us. Our life is one of karma, and we are reincarnated over and over again until we are enlightened (changed) to the reality that we are one with Brahman. Once we are “enlightened,” we become part of or absorbed into Brahman. There’s Brahman changing again and we lose our identity…

Using Science to Find God
Here is the first in a series of email replies I sent my friends after I sent them some links about dinosaur tissue finds: I know how science works. I also know the difference between conjectures, hypothesis, and theories and the how you get from one to the other. I also learned from the same school as you that it takes a lot of different kinds of repeatable tests to prove a theory and only one repeatable contradictory test to disprove one. Now, I’m not saying that the soft tissue issue is the one contradictory evidence against evolution or the old age of Earth. I included non-creationist article of the…

Hell – Why is it taught in the Bible?
Hell is not a threat, it really depend on how you look at it. To me, it’s more of a warning. He knows what is good for us and what is bad for us, so He is letting us know that the way of man leads to death. But if we just listen to Him and His warnings, and trust in Him, we can have life. We are not going to know everything; His knowledge is infinitely larger than ours. Just like a parent is way more knowledgeable than his 5 year old. If the 5 year old is playing with matches near some gasoline, the dad is going to…

The heavens declare the glory of God!
Psalm 19 1 The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork. 2 Day unto day utters speech, And night unto night reveals knowledge. 3 There is no speech nor language Where their voice is not heard. 4 Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In the beginning God Created the heavens and the earth. (Genesis 1) He created it marvelously, the universe is enormously large with trillions and trillions of stars in it. What is even more marvelous is He created the earth with an atmosphere where we can see through to all these…
