Keep The Faith

I was awed (I know, not a word) today by something my wife told me. Her mother, my mother-in-law, broke her left ankle in an auto accident about three weeks ago. Yesterday they took off the splints and put on the cast. The surgeon who worked on her mom’s ankle explained to my wife and her mother how the bones in our body have polarities similar to magnets. When a bone breaks, the polarities at the break shift so now there is an attraction instead of what would normally be a repelling motion. This shift lasts for about three months and then the polarities shift back to normal. Since the discovery of this phenomena, they have found a way to prolong that shift before shifting back to normal. This stretches out the healing process which is sometimes needed for older people or people who need that extra time.   When I think about how God has put together our bodies, it awes me (I wished I could find better words but I just cannot find any words good enough to describe my th...

God gave us, humans, through Moses, the laws. I believe that this is God saying to us, “OK, you want to control your own lives, without ME, so then follow these laws. Remember, there are consequences for disobeying them. If you don’t follow these laws and you don’t take care of disobedience, you will never have peace.” And so, we have no peace because something inside us (our sin nature) makes it hard to keep the laws God gave us.   God, in His infinite wisdom and His great compassion, became a human in the person of Jesus or Yeshua, as the Jews call Him. He obeyed all those laws that He Himself gave us to obey, the ones we cannot. He became that spotless (without sin) lamb who the Jews used to sacrifice during Passover. He took our punishment upon Himself and was put to death in our place. The amazing thing was, He didn’t stay in the grave; only God can accomplish such a thing. On the third day after he was crucified, He came out of the grave, alive. Many people witnessed ...

Have you ever wondered why we have so many faiths or religions; I have? There is but one God who created all things seen and unseen. You may ask about or have contemplated why the Bible talks about the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, as though there are three? ............. Maybe this is the only way we humans can begin to understand Him. God has to bring knowledge down to a level we can understand.   Have you looked at His creation lately? What I mean is look beyond the surface. Take a moment to ponder just one thing God has made; a tree, a flower, a butterfly, a cloud, an animal………… Pretty awesome isn’t it? Now pull your mind out of that one thing and look at all the other things He’s created; and this is just what we see. How can we possibly begin to comprehend God?   Before I go on, have you taken a close look at us humans? The next time you are in a large group of people, look around at each one of them; all look different unless you happen to see i...
