The God who was ... is

The stories in the bible that we talk about in Sunday School and on Sunday Mornings and on Sunday nights and on Wednesday nights, are not just cute little stories that we are trying to get you to remember. My goal is not to equip you with all of the right tools so that you can pass some sort of bible trivia game. Knowing facts about something doesn't necessarily qualify you as knowing something. For instance, you can know a lot of information about a certain celebrity, but that doesn't mean you know the celebrity. However, by knowing that person, and spending time with that person, you will begin to know about that person, and to actually know the person. Is that to confusing? My point is that there comes a time when you hear the stories of God's history and they become more that just stories about someone, but stories that actually help you personally know Him. There will come a point where these amazing, awesome stories become a revelation of God's awesome ability in your own life. If your not there yet, that's fine, everyone is at their own level of faith, all I'm encouraging you to do is spend the time to ask God to be that real to you. God answered those kinds of prayers to His people way back in bible times, and the God that was then, is the God that is now.

Jesus Says . . No Problem

What's up guys!

Don't forget the jingle, sing it all day long if you have to.

When you got issues,
and you can't solve 'em,
Jesus Says . . No Problem.

There isn't a problem that you face that Jesus doesn't have a solution to. Pursue God in such a way that every time you face something you take it to God. Don't hesitate, immediately take it to Him. God is able to respond to you. God wants to respond to you, many times He is just waiting on you to cry out. Remember the example of King Hezekiah (2Kings, 2Chronicles, Isaiah 37), who went to God as soon as he faced his problems. When he received the prognosis of certain death even, he turned his face to the wall, cried out to God, and God heard his cry. When he had an issue he sought God to get it fixed. Are you seeking God to see your problems fixed? Why not? What are the other things you are relying on? If you are a person that has other crutches, other things you rely on, get with God about even that. God wants you to love Him with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. He wants to be first in your life. He wants to be the first thing you seek. Ask Him for help, God is not as far off as you may think He is.
