Last & Final Call

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." John 3 :16 in the New King James Version [This is the 5th and last of a  mini-series  of lessons (within a series)] It is recommended that you start this reading with the lesson titled " If There's A Will, There's A Plan " and work your way through the list of lessons. Please do so, before you proceed. Time May Be Running Out You may have already heard of Jesus Christ once, twice, or one too many times, enough to say your eardrums are aching -- enough with this nonsense. We understand. Every true believer felt the same way, before they believed and until they considered the possibility of "what if it was true". Certainly not, but what if was was? What if what was written about the Messiah , and what if the books which talk about what Jesus of Nazareth have said about Himself were true? That would surely

It's Your Call

" Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and dine with him, and he with Me. To the one who overcomes, I will grant the right to sit with Me on My throne, just as I overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” Revelations 3:20-22 in the Berean Study Bible Version [This is the 4th of a  mini-series  of lessons (within a series)] It is recommended that you start this reading with the lesson titled " If There's A Will, There's A Plan " and work your way through the list of lessons. Please do so, before you proceed. After reading through the first lessons of this short series, we now have a fairly good idea of who the God (as written about) in Christian Scriptures is, His will and His plan for us. All throughout the Jewish Scriptures God's plan has been foreshadowed in the stories and the prophesies written down hundred

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11 in the Berean Study Bible Version [This is the 3rd of a  mini-series  of lessons (within a series)] It is recommended that you start this reading with the lesson titled " If There's A Will, There's A Plan " and work your way through the list of lessons. Please do so, before you proceed. Every time God's plan comes up in conversations, almost always, this generic God's plan verse from the Book of Jeremiah will come up. Jeremiah is one of the old school prophets written about in the Jewish Scriptures. This verse is an iconic memory verse, many believers can recite this passage verbatim.  Yet, like in anything else, there is more to memorizing than actually understanding what the passage means. For this generic verse, it is pretty straight forward. God's plan for us is to: 1. Prosper us -And thi

"We humans keep brainstorming options and plans,     but God’s purpose prevails." Proverbs 19:21 in the Message Paraphrase Version [This is the 2nd   of a  mini-series  of lessons (within a series)] It is recommended that you start this reading with the lesson titled " If There's A Will, There's A Plan " and work your way through the list of lessons. Ready? Many among us struggle with the idea of God but then we don't do anything to know more about Him. Funny also how some of those who profess they don't believe in God, talk about God or bring up God into their everyday conversations more frequently than those who say they do believe in God. Yes this is a knack on both sides. If you don't believe why keep talking about Him, and if you believe why aren't you talking about God? If you have been having questions along this same lines, follow these lessons and you might get some clarity. First off. The God we are talking about is the God o

Is There A God?

Paul’s Address in the Areopagus " Then Paul stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus and said, “Men of Athens, I see that in every way you are very religious. For as I walked around and examined your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore what you worship as something unknown, I now proclaim to you. " Acts 17:22-23 in the Berean Study Bible Version [This is the 1st of a mini-series of lessons (within a series)] In the 1st century, the Apostle Paul went around Europe to talk to people about Jesus Christ. After passing through and speaking to those who were in Berea, where the people were studious and they read and study things over, for themselves, he and his party went to Athens. While in Athens, he spoke to the intellectuals of the day, thinkers and philosophers, and those who discuss ideas, concepts and matters higher than themselves. If we believe the things we read about in history books, then we can at leas
