The Greatest

The Bible is the greatest book ever written for several reasons. First, it is uniquely design to assist each and every human being in their growth and development into upright and productive individuals(2 Tim. 3:15,16,17). The result they achieve through disciple and obedience to God's instructions affects their lives and the lives of others around them positively- in the end good prevails(Eccl. 12:13). Secondly, it provides  hope by explaining the reasons why things are the way they are and what's about to happen before it happens(Rom. 15:4). God uses the Bible to help build our faith in Him. Because by reading it we are not blind to the workings and operations of God; and through faith in the word the past, present, and future is revealed to us( Deut. 29:29, Is. 43:9) . So, as the prophecy comes to pass our faith grows as we see the written word coming into reality. Finally, this Book excels all other books, because the author is God himself. He also signed it by imprinting His very spirit into each and every letter so that the Book would be a living testimony of Himself for all His people(2 Peter 1:20,21). And to prove that the Bible is real, He caused it to be transformed into a living human being two thousand years ago, as prophesied throughout His Book,  in the person of the Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth- the King of Israel( John 1:1,14). And not only this, but to prove His word is eternal and ever-living, as He said it was, He raise Jesus back to life from the grave and set him in the holiest of holy places-next to Himself in heaven. And it is this same Jesus He has set to be the final judge of all men, both the living and the dead at the end of the world, as it is written( Acts 17:30,31). The Bible truly is without comparison among the millions and millions of books ever written(Eccl. 12:12,13,14).

Free

To be truly free is to live out the calling God has planned for you. Only when we walk in this path do we experience boundless opportunity, energy, and purpose in our lives.
To walk in your calling, whether it be to preach, to teach, to heal, or to build a family of godly men and women- who are destined to impact this world, is truly living. So then it is up to each of us to seek out what God has planned for our lives. This is done by prayer and self-reflection. And once you've found it be fearless and pursue it with all your mind and strength so that you may be free.

Time

Times
today, tomorrow, a month from now,
or even a year or two form now
time continues
New life comes and changes come
Old things fade into the past
like knowledge changing and growing
The ages move along the course set for it:
Babylon and Chaldeans
Ancient Persia with the Meeds
Alexander and the four generals
The eternal city of Rome-
forming and consuming, then collapsing
and reforming,
dividing into it's seven nations and ten kings
Time
Men sailing across the great oceans
bringing conquest, world economies, growth of cities,
birth of nations
and death of nations
and hiding and covering of a nation
The rich getting richer, power consolidating
Time
Men sailing to the stars
"million miles from reality"
Yet, all moving in the direction set by God.

"...Even so, come, Lord Jesus (Rev.22:20)"
