God's Side Of The Story

"For everything that was written long ago was written for our instruction, so that we might have hope through the endurance and encouragement that the Scriptures give us." (Romans 15:4)

The tribe of the Guananos in South America now numbers only about one thousand members. Some of them are Christians. They even possess the New Testament in their own language. They naturally compared the Bible message and its stories with their own traditions. One Guanano man has given this report:
"We have our own traditions as to where we came from. When I heard God's version, how everything started with Adam and Eve, I could not believe it at first. I thought it's a white man's story.
However, the more I heard the whole story of God and man, it became all the more clearer that it is true, and I was convinced. Our traditions never gave us any hope: life ended with the grave, and there was only wailing and despair. God's account takes us beyond the grave with Christ's inconceivable glory which awaits us, and there we shall meet up with our loved ones. God's side of the story has given us hope!"
"Remember that at one time you . . . . were without Christ . . . . and strangers to the covenants of promise. You had no hope and were in the world without God.
But now, in Christ Jesus, you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ." (Ephesians 2:11-13)
"Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope might be in God." (1 Peter 1:21).
Christ is the hope of those who put their trust in Him, and who walk in obedience to God. Are you walking in obedience to God?

Last Minute Convert 2

Last Minute Convert "Bert's hit and he's down, " shouted Jim. He could see that Bert's wound was fatal. The fighting was intense along the "Traverse Trench" in France during World War I. As Jim tried to stop the bleeding, he was startled by Bert's dying question :"Can you tell me the way to heaven? " Jim moved closer and said, "Bert, I'm sorry. I don't know the way. But I'll ask the others. " He ran along the trench asking those nearby, but no one knew. The request was passed down the line to sixteen men, but none of them knew the way to heaven. Think of it! These young soldiers from a so called "Christian " country could not help their dying friend. They were all facing death, but none knew the way to heaven! When a man is dying on the battlefield, he needs the truth - not opinions or speculations. Good works, baptism, confirmation, communion and rituals were not going to help Bert who was dy...

A Perfect Example Of Forgiveness

A Perfect Example Of Forgiveness Luke 23:34 Then Jesus said, "Father, forgive them. They don't know what they're doing. " Most of you our beloved friends, knows this saying of the Lord Jesus very well. But are we aware of the circumstances under which it was said? He was hanging on the cross with wounds in His hands and feet, suffering excruciating pain and thirst. Round the place of execution stood the soldiers who had just driven the nails through His hands and feet. Perhaps they had done so with the in sensibility normal to their profession amid the mockery of their callous comrades. The Bible mentions the biting contempt of the leaders of the nation. Sympathetic spectators may have thought :"Surely they can't be so callous and take His life! " But that was their intention. Maybe some believed that such a helpless person needed support. Others might have prevented it, believing that only ĺow criminals deserved no sympathy. Only a short while be...

The foolishness of the message

Since God in His wisdom saw to it that the world would never find Him through human wisdom,He has used our foolish preaching to save all who believe. God's way seems foolish to the jews because they want a sign from heaven to prove it is true.And it is foolisi to the Greeks because they believe only what agrees with their own wisdom. So when we preach that christ was crusified,the Jews are offended and the Gentiles say it's all nonsense. But to those called bx God to salvation,both Jews and Gentiles,Christ is the mighty power of God and the wonderful wisdom of God. -1 Corinthians 1:21-24. The foolishness of the message The American evangelist Torrey was just leaving the hall after giving an address on the Bible,when a person unknown to him approached him and said,"I admire your conviction and your sincerity,but what you have said is foolishness,like the entire gospel." Torrey took his Bible and said,"You are quite right.That's exactly what God s...
