,JESUS SAID: I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE!   We read these verses in John 14:6. Jesus continued to say that no one comes to the Father except through Him. I have met people in New Age and just people in the world and they say they believe in God, or some say a Higher Power, but they do not believe that Jesus is the only way to God. Some of these say that they pray to God, but not in the name of Jesus. Jesus said that there is no other way. Before Jesus came and fulfilled His ... (read more)

DO YOU BELIEVE IN REVIVAL?   If you believe in revival, my next question would be: What do you do to get one? Wherever I go to Christian groups or churches, I hear that we have to pray for revival. I have heard this for years. Some are saying that revival is here, but we have to believe it and receive it. I have another question: What is revival? I have looked up the interpretation of the word. It means an awakening or a conversion. It might be individually or collectively. I think that we ... (read more)

ARE WE ABLE TO WAIT?   We have a proverb saying that those waiting for something good, is not waiting in vain. The fact is that many cannot wait till they receive the good things. I know of people who were longing for a partner to marry. They prayed, but it took some time before the wanted partner was there. Those that I know of wanted a Christian partner, but since it took so long time, they desperately were seeking for a non-believer. Others wanted a Christian, but chose the wrong one ... (read more)

DO WE LIVE IN THANKFULNESS?   The Letter to the Ephesisans 5:20 says that we should always give thanks for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. In James 4:7 we read that we should resist the devil and he will flee from us. I cannot thank God for what the devil is doing. The mistake that we might be doing is that we get so involved in his doings that we forget all the good things that God has done to us. I do believe that God sometimes allows the bad things to ...

DO NOT TAKE VACATION FROM GOD! Summer is a time of relaxation, a time for vacation. Many are having vacation for four or five weeks. Students might have two months. Some older students might work during the summer. June, July and August are used for vacation here in Scandinavia. The time for vacation might be different in other places of the world. Some younger students think that the vacation is too long, and they do not know what to do and some get bored. If you have grandparents, you might ... (read more)

GOD, THE FATHER.   To me God is the Creator. He has done a wonderful job creating everything that has life in it. Just think of all the plants, fishes and birds. He has created so many different kinds. When I think of the birds coming every spring to the same place and the same nest before they return flying back to the other side of the globe. God has created all the animals, and He has created you and me as man and women. Every little detail fits together. God is our Creator, but He is ... (read more)

WHAT ARE YOU DOING WHEN YOU START GETTING OLDER?   When are you called an old person? I do not really know since I believe is has a lot to do with how one thinks and well one is. I remember my own fear for getting old when I was close to 60. My sister called me quite often and asked how I should celebrate my birthday and I changed the topic every time she asked. I went on a mission trip to Georgia a few weeks before I was turning 60. When I was there, I got a question about my age. I ... (read more)

DO YOU HAVE A SPIRITUAL HOME? Part 2 I finished the first chapter by encouraging the pastor or the shepherd to act as a good daddy. A shepherd should feed the sheep and protect them from wolves and other wild animals that could in the worst case kill the sheep. Jesus is describing a situation when the shepherd left the 99 sheep in order to find one that was lost. Jesus is caring for each person as well as the entire group. Some pastors think that they are kind when they allow everybody to come ... (read more)

DO YOU HAVE A SPIRITUAL HOME? Part 1 A newborn baby needs a safe home where he or she is taken care of, fed, and showed a lot of love. That is the same for a person that just has received Jesus as their Savior. He and she are like newborn babies. Many Christians leave a person when they have prayed the prayer of salvation without any assurance of further contact either by themselves or somebody else. That is the same as putting a baby on the street. I will first write to those evangelizing in ... (read more)

WE HAVE TO DIE TO LIVE.   This is the theme for Easter. We are following Jesus from He was riding on a donkey into Jerusalem. A huge crowd was following Him and they honoured Him by laying branches on the street where He came. Jesus was sharing the Easter meal with His disciples and that was when He also established the Communion. Then the real battled started. They were supposed to be a night in Gethsemane to pray, but the disciples fell asleep, but Jesus was praying so hard that He was ... (read more)
