Loneliness leads to emptiness

Loneliness and How to Overcome It At times in your life, have you felt that you were all alone and yearned to be with and feel connected to others? I have. This feeling describes the emotion of loneliness. Other words people use to describe loneliness include feeling empty, isolated, excluded or left out. You can feel lonely when you are physically alone and you can also feel lonely in the presence of others. Loneliness is really a reflection of whether or not you feel connected to others. God is a God of relationship and community. That is evident in His very nature. He is the Trinity — three in one; God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. In the opening chapters of the Bible, God established that “It’s not good for the man [Adam] to be alone...” (Genesis 2:18a, the Message). His solution? God continued, “... I’ll make him a helper, a companion.” (Genesis 2:18b, the Message). He brought Eve to Adam and they “become one flesh.” (Genesis 2:24b). We are designed to be ...

John Huss Pre-Reformation Reformer

JOHN HUSS (1369-1415) The most famous quote by John Huss Lord Jesus, it is for thee that I patiently endure this cruel death. I pray thee to have mercy on my enemies." Early in his monastic career, Martin Luther, rummaging through the stacks of a library, happened upon a volume of sermons by John Huss, the Bohemian who had been condemned as a heretic. "I was overwhelmed with astonishment," Luther later wrote. "I could not understand for what cause they had burnt so great a man, who explained the Scriptures with so much gravity and skill." Luther Inspired by Huss         Huss was born to peasant parents in "Goose town," that is, Husinec, in the south of today's Czech Republic Huss would become a hero to Luther and many other Reformers, for Huss preached key Reformation themes (like hostility to indulgences) a century before Luther drew up his 95 Theses. But the Reformers also looked to Huss's life, in particular, his steadfast...

Knocking ......Seeking....Asking

  *Today’s Scripture* “Ask and keep on asking and it will be given to you; seek and keep on seeking and you will find; knock and keep on knocking and the door will be opened to you.” (Matthew 7:7, AMP) *Press Through* In Mark chapter five, there was a woman who had been sick for twelve years. The doctors gave her no hope. But she heard that *Jesus* was passing through her town. Something deep down on the inside was saying, “This is your season. This is your time to get well.” In the natural, when she saw all the people around Him, she thought, “I’ll never get to Him. It’s so crowded and I’m weak.” She almost missed her season. But instead of dwelling on those negative thoughts, instead of looking at her situation, she started reminding herself, “If I can just get to Jesus, I will be whole.” She made the choice to turn her thoughts in the right direction and was empowered to take a leap of faith. She pressed through the crowd until she got just close e...

4 REASONS PRAYER IS NEVER WASTED TIME

“Time spent in prayer is never wasted.”                                                                                     – Francis Fenelon Speaking to Your Father Since God is truly our Father, why wouldn't we want to be in constant communication with Him Who loves us enough to send His Son to die for us? You would think we’d be eager to pray every moment we could, but the statistics on prayer time is disappointing, even though I know I've disappointed God with my prayer time. The average prayer time a day is just under five minutes, and only one in five Christians pray longer than five minutes a day. Does that seem enough? No, but I can’t cast stones unless it would be at myself, so I try to pray continually and steal every free moment to pray. But it is hard beca...

Birds of the air and the Fish of the seas dying in huge numbers. it continues here End of World Sign - PEOPLE WILL BE UNHOLY Now this sign of the end of the world is an amazing one. Do you know why? Because I only need to talk about professing Christians here. Go back just 50 years and you would find a world with Christians who were far more holy and humble than they are today. Many believe that we need not keep the ten commandments anymore, just as long as we "believe" in Jesus. And what does this lead to? A people who continue living in sin and being unholy. Jude 1:4 ...'For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ....
