Notes On Life

 Mark Twain once said, “I have spent most of my life worrying about things that never happened.” So the question is…“Are you a worrier? ” We all are to some extent, but some of us can go to extremes from distress to distraught in 5 seconds. Let’s take a look at it. Worrying is a great thief of time. It’s always the worst possible thing that comes to mind. One of the reasons we worry is because we feel powerless to control our future. So instead of escalating into a spiral frenzy that can ruin an entire day for yourself and those around you, Stop yourself in mid-flight and have a conversation with your inner spirit. When you first desire to find the peace (which is a must to remove your anxiety) ask a Blessing over your circumstances whatever they are, Believe there is an answer and Claim God’s help even before it’s given. Then you are opening yourself to receive the solution. Worrying about the future robs you of the present moment, so observe how much worrying you do as worry...

 Kathryn Kuhlman was a powerful Christian evangelist who over several decades preached, healed and transformed the lives of many. She is regarded by some as the greatest female Christian minister of the 20th century. While her life and what she spoke over the years was remarkable, in her final days what she also spoke was even more remarkable and thought provoking. While hospitalized and accelerating quickly to a fateful end, she predicted not only the day she would die, but also the precise hour and minute . As she prophesized, it was at exactly 1:13 AM on February 20, 1976. If you think about it, 1:13 AM is One Out Of 1,440 Minutes That We All Sweep Through Each Day and just like on the second hand of a clock, One Of Those Minutes will be the precise minute when all of us will pass from the HERE to the HEREAFTER . Unlike Katheryn, we have no idea when that minute will come. She was ready for that exact minute at 1:13 AM when an angel would meet her and take her to heaven…but ...

 What does it mean to ‘Stand’ or to ‘Take A Stand?’ In life, all of us also chose to ‘take a stand’ FOR or AGAINST something, be it one team over another, one political party over another, or one ideology over another. Between each of these there is always a line of CONTENTION and CHOICE , and people make a decision to ‘take a stand’ and be on one side of that line or another. In the Garden of Gethsemane, Judas crossed the line and changed his stand from the side with Christ to the side against him. Likewise, just as Judas made a decision and stood with those that opposed Jesus, you also (whether you realize it or not) are standing on one side of this same line or another. Friend, there are two sides of a LINE on which all of us are currently standing regarding Christ. On Which Side Of This Line Are You Standing?

 The longer we are alive in this life, there are odds of really bad things that may happen. Many dangers are avoidable, some are completely random, while certain events are impossible to escape. Consider these odds of dying: In A Plane Crash: 1 in 11,000,000 From A Cataclysmic Storm: 1 in 58,869 By Choking on Food: 1 in 2,535 In A Motor Vehicle Crash: 1 in 107 From Cancer: 1 in 7 Through Heart Disease: 1 in 6 But consider this fact… CHANCE OF DEATH: 1 in 1 As ominous as that statistic is, there is another statistical odd that is actually WORSE than that: Chance OF BEING SEPEARATED FROM GOD FOREVER: 1 in 2 You see, everyone will die — and we all know that- the question you have to ask yourself are you going to beat the “1 in 2” odds that you will spend eternity in a place that is not heaven? As Jesus said in today’s verse, in ourselves it is impossible, but with God it is possible to beat these odds. All you need to do is believe that Christ died for your sins and say it from your h...

Driving across the USA is always an adventure! I’ve had the pleasure of doing it three times, but one particular moment was an east-west trip when crossing out of Texas into New Mexico. Immediately after crossing the state line was a large billboard recruiting the need for state troopers to patrol stretches of vast highways like the one I was on that seemed to melt into infinity before me. With no cars in sight and NO ONE WAS WATCHING as far as I could see the opportunity to greatly accelerate to over twice the limit was too easy an opportunity to pass up. This raises an interesting question for all of us and that is “How do we 'Behave' when no one is watching?” The answer is that it all depends on whether we BELIEVE someone is WATCHING...and this is exactly what today’s scripture verse is saying. Many people live their lives - either consciously or unconsciously - with the attitude since there is no god what is done in secret is not seen by anyone and therefore there is no con...

   The famous American anthropologist Margaret Mead was once asked if she believed in U.F.O.s. and she said: “It’s a silly question. Belief has to do with matters of faith; it has nothing to do with the kind of knowledge that is based on scientific inquiry. Do people believe in the sun or the moon, or the changing seasons, or the chairs they’re sitting on?” Like Dr. Mead, many people substitute 'U.F.O.s' with 'God' and come to the same result that having a mere  belief  in something is no substitute for rigorous academic scientific inquiry. Just as we can know that a chair can hold us up through direct experience and that it can be touched, measured and weighed, the same thing cannot be said for this silly 'imaginary friend' that some people naively refer to as “God.” Scientists and researchers conclude that since there is visual and physical evidence for UFOs then scientifically that is not a matter of belief but of fact and proof. Therefore the logical negativ...
