The terror attacks in Istanbul on January 1st, which ISIS claimed responsibility for, isn’t just a symptom that terrorism is a problem. Yes, terrorism is A problem, but it’s not THE problem. The problem is Islam.

I’m not a big fan of political correctness – we’re supposed to TOLERATE all religions, all ways of life, all thoughts. And that’s true – we are supposed to TOLERATE all of this, but it doesn’t mean that ALL religions are the TRUTH. It doesn’t mean that all ways of life are good for you and it doesn’t mean all thoughts are true.

For example, I could say that my dog is God. I could go out and start a new religion to worship my dog. But does it make it true? Surely you’ll think I’m crazy, but while you’ll tolerate me and my new religion, probably some of you might want to preach the Gospel to me so I give up on such a ridiculous idea that my dog is God.

Islam, my dear friend, is a FALSE religion – just like worshiping my dog would be. It’s a false religion that prioritizes WARFARE against us, the ‘infidels’. It’s a false religion whose main objective is to EXPAND into a GLOBAL CALIPHATE – much like the UN wants to expand its power to establish a NEW GLOBAL ORDER. Both the UN and Islam agree on a new global order – but they disagree on WHO will rule the world. Globalists want a communist dictator. Islam wants its ‘Madhi’, to impose sharia law.

The problem is Islam because of its IDEOLOGY. Islam is out of synch with FREEDOM. Islam is out of synch with PROGRESS. Islam is out of synch with PROSPERITY. Islam is out of synch with GOD!

Christianity is the ONLY religion where you can be truly FREE.

• You’re free from SIN
• You’re free from DEATH
• You’re free from DICTATORS
• You’re free to PROSPER
• You’re free to SPEAK
• You’re free from EVIL

Islam is the result of the thought process of Prophet Muhammad in the 7th century. Muslims recognize Ishmael as their father. Do you know who Ishmael was? He was the son of Abraham – not the son God had promised Abraham and Sarah. No. He was the son Abraham had with his servant, Hagar. Abraham was too anxious and made the mistake to have a son with his own maid. God had made that promise years before Ishmael was born. Since nothing was happening, Abraham and Sarah thought they had to do something as they were already too old.  Abraham wasn’t patient. And we all know what happens to us when we’re not patient – we usually make mistakes. So Abraham made a mistake.

Some 14 years later Abraham and Sarah did have their promised son – Isaac. But things didn’t go too well in the Abraham home. Ishmael, a teenager by now, used to make fun of baby Isaac and at some point Sarah kicked both Ishmael and Hagar out of the house.

According to Genesis 16:12 an angel told Hagar that Ishmael ‘shall be a wild man; his hand shall be against every man, and every man’s hand against him’.

Ishmael was predestined to bring trouble into this world…

The problem is Islam. It all started 4000 years ago with troublemaker Ishmael, and followed with Muhammad in 610 AC, the founder of a false religion that promotes Jihad.

We need to witness. We need to evangelize. If you worship Allah, you’re worshiping a FALSE GOD. If you worship my dog, you’re worshiping a FALSE GOD. If you worship money, you’re worshiping a FALSE GOD. It’s ALL called IDOLATRY.

But all your sins are forgiven if you REPENT and accept JESUS as YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR.

Moses, Abraham, David, the apostles – they were all HUMAN and they’d all SINNED. Moses, Abraham, Saul, David and the Jews from before Jesus didn’t have the advantage that we have today of knowing Jesus Christ. But we have this wonderful book, the Bible, which tells us all we need to be saved is BELIEVE on Jesus Christ.

We’re saved by GRACE through FAITH. Once you’re saved, you’ll see the light. You’ll know the TRUTH. And you won’t want to sin anymore. No more jihadists, no more murderers, no more thieves, no more rapists…if we all believe…
​
Ephesians 2:8-10
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

If you’re wondering why Barack Hussein Obama, in the last weeks of his presidency, would allow the UN to condemn Israel, you will find the answer here.

As you know, on Friday 12/23 when nobody was watching, the U.S abandoned its long standing policy of preventing the UN from sanctioning Israel – for nearly 50 years the U.S had sustained that the UN is not the right place to discuss the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Obama changed that policy only a few short weeks before he says goodbye.

Some say Obama hates Israel because he’s a Muslim. Some say he hates Israel because he’s a communist. Some others think Obama is the Antichrist. Let me tell you: he may be a Muslim, he’s definitely a leftist but he cannot be the antichrist – the antichrist will be much SMARTER and ATTRACTIVE than Obama could ever be.

No, Obama isn’t smart enough to be the antichrist – else, he would have won the election for Hillary.

But you see, Obama is a leftist anti-Christian who will do anything to eliminate any evidence that the Bible is the Truth. He has an issue with Jesus. He has an issue with Israel. He has an issue with himself – the fact that he will one day bow down to God and explain his actions while on earth is terrifying to him. He cannot stand the idea. But instead of accepting Jesus and correcting his earthly actions, Obama’s decided to start a war against Jesus Christ. How foolish!

Israel is the Promised Land. It’s had many enemies before – Babylon, Rome, Nazi Germany. None of Israel’s old enemies exist today. These ‘powerful empires’ have tried to defeat Israel for more than 4000 years. They’ve all failed. Why? Because God has a covenant with Israel. No nation will destroy Israel. None.

Israel is the size of the state of New Jersey, and it’s surrounded by enemies who attack its people on a daily basis. Yet, it’s a country that’s flourished in a sea of Islam insanity and genocide and it’s the only democracy in the region.

Israel miraculous prosperity is better explained by no less than leftist atheist Sam Harris:

‘The truth is that there is an obvious, undeniable and hugely consequential moral difference between Israel and her enemies. The Israelis are surrounded by people who have explicitly genocidal intentions towards them. The discourse in the Muslim world about Jews is utterly shocking. Not only is there Holocaust denial – there’s Holocaust denial that then asserts that we will do it for real if given the chance…There are children’s shows in the Palestinian territories and elsewhere that teach five-year-olds about the glories of martyrdom and about the necessity of killing Jews’

You see, the ‘necessity of killing Jews’ derives from the necessity of proving the Bible wrong, and therefore proving that God doesn’t exist.

But Israel and its survival for 4000 years has been possible BECAUSE the Bible is right. It’s been possible BECAUSE of God. Think about it – Babylon, Egypt, Rome…all these empires tried to destroy Israel, in an effort to prove that their gods were the true gods.

​Israel surviving and prospering all these years is prove that there is ONE GOD…

Now Obama is siding with the Devil in trying to prove the same thing no other enemy of Israel has been able to prove in more than 4000 years – that God doesn’t exist.

The STUPIDITY on Obama’s part resides in the fact that Obama has the advantage of written History, both Biblical AND secular, to think about his chances of success. How fool must he be to try the same thing over and over again expecting a different result? Isn’t that the very definition of insanity?

If you’re concerned about the consequences of Obama’s latest disappointing action, don’t be. It’s all right on schedule because God is in control. Now, if Hillary had won the elections, then I’d be a lot more concerned about the future of America. Hillary would most likely have gone 10 steps further in trying to destroy Israel – and you already know what happens to Israel’s enemies. But God is in control and that's why Hillary lost.

We’ll have President Trump in the White House soon enough to correct the evils perpetrated by the Left in America. The Jewish people are God’s people (and so are we, the gentiles who have converted to Christianity. We won’t suffer the wrath of God).

Israelites became God’s chosen people because God made a promise to Abraham and because of His faithful love in keeping with all His promises.

Genesis 12:1-3
Now the LORD said to Abram, ‘Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed’

With Israel out of the picture, Obama and his evil allies would prove the Bible to be wrong – the idea of God torments our current president. But note God’s promise ‘I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse’. God will take care of Obama in due course – the president has lost this battle already.

Let’s pray for our new President Donald Trump – may God bless him and guide him in these times of trouble.

​And David?

Keep on reading to find out...
​
When King Saul was ruling Judea, David made a covenant with Saul’s son, Jonathan. Jonathan, the Prince, loved David because it was David who had saved Judea and Saul. He was the warrior who fought and succeeded in every single battle for King Saul. Jonathan knew that without David he would have nothing, and he respected David so much as the anointed one, that he gave David his robe and his clothing symbolizing Jonathan’s power and possessions were now transferred to David.

This was a big deal – it was the recognition that, while Jonathan was the Prince, David was the rightful heir to the throne. Jonathan and David sealed this deal with blood – like in those old western movies - by cutting an incision on their wrists and joining them together in blood.

As the story goes, King Saul grew jealous of David’s popularity in the kingdom, so he decreed that David was to be killed. Jonathan alerted David, as he felt much closer to David than to his own father, so David had no choice but to flee for his life.

Soon after, King Saul and Jonathan were both killed in battle. As a result, David finally returned home as the anointed King. By then, every single one of King Saul’s aides had been chasing David to kill him, but now David would become their king. You can imagine the panic among these servants – ‘what is David going to do? Have us all killed?’

Among Saul’s aides was a nurse who was taking care of baby Mephibosheth - she was certain that David would come back to kill the little boy. Running with the baby she tripped and fell on him, crippling him for the rest of his life.

As he grew up, young Mephibosheth would ask his nurse why he was crippled – she would obviously explain ‘because we’re running from David. He wants to kill you and when you were a baby, I fell on you trying to save you’.

You have to understand that this young man grew up FEARING and HATING David. Mephibosheth is a PRINCE who’s barely getting by, poor as he can be in an unknown land, unable to walk – all because of David. That’s what he grew up to BELIEVE.

But David had a covenant with Mephibosheth’s father, Jonathan, which he intended to honor. David wanted to find Mephibosheth.

2 Samuel 9: 1
David asked, “Is there anyone still left of the house of Saul to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan’s sake?”

Did you notice? David is asking whether or not there’s anybody left of the house of Saul ‘to whom I can show kindness'. Remember, all this time Mephibosheth thinks David wants to kill him.

When David learns about Mephibosheth he immediately sends his aides to bring the young man to the palace. Now, pay attention to what went on when Mephibosheth and David finally met:

2 Samuel 9:7-11
“Don’t be afraid,” David said to him, “for I will surely show you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan. I will restore to you all the land that belonged to your grandfather Saul, and you will always eat at my table.” Mephibosheth bowed down and said, “What is your servant, that you should notice a dead dog like me?” Then the king summoned Ziba, Saul’s steward, and said to him, “I have given your master’s grandson everything that belonged to Saul and his family. You and your sons and your servants are to farm the land for him and bring in the crops, so that your master’s grandson may be provided for. And Mephibosheth, grandson of your master, will always eat at my table.” (Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.) Then Ziba said to the king, “Your servant will do whatever my lord the king commands his servant to do.” So Mephibosheth ate at David’s table like one of the king’s sons.

Did you notice? Mephibosheth grew up fearing and hating David, and all David wanted to do was to BLESS Mephibosheth – because of the blood covenant David and Jonathan had made.

With Jesus it’s the same. If you’re like Mephibosheth – crippled emotionally or spiritually – please know that ALL YOU NEED to be blessed and SAVED is the blood covenant that Jesus made with YOU on the CROSS. It’s a GIFT. All you need to do is RECEIVE IT. Jesus LOVES you and He WANTS TO BLESS YOU! But You have to BELIEVE first…

Merry Christmas!
Angels of Truth​

Do you remember when Bill Clinton said ‘I did not have sex with that woman, Miss Lewinsky’? Do you remember when Obama said ‘if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor’?  Do you remember when Hillary Clinton said about her trip to Bosnia as the First Lady ‘I landed under sniper fire’? Do you remember when Mrs. Clinton said about her private server ‘I did not send or receive classified information through my private server’?

Of course you do. Who can forget?

And as we later found out, they were all LIES.

Who else is famous for using DECEPTION to bring people to his side?

You know the answer – it’s SATAN.

We know socialism is a lie. We know humanism is a lie. We know evolution is a lie. But what was the very first lie that ruined the world? Where did it all start?

It all started in Genesis, my dear friend. Pay attention to this because it's important. It's always important to connect the dots between current events and the Bible. The methods used today to fool people are the same methods evil people used in Biblical times. There's nothing really new today that hasn't happened before.

Genesis 3:1-5:
Now the serpent said to the woman, ‘Has God indeed said “You shall not eat of every tree of the garden”’. And the woman said to the serpent, ‘We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die’”. Then the serpent said to the woman ‘You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.’

There, my dear friend, you have the root cause of all our problems: DECEPTION.

As you read the Bible verses above you can clearly see the deception that the serpent conceives to lure Eve to his side. As you know, Eve also gave Adam the fruit and what did God do? He kicked them both out of the Garden of Eden.

You may not know this, but the serpent the Bible talks about wasn’t hideous or repulsive. Satan was disguised as a serpent, but the Hebrew word ‘nachash’ used for ‘serpent’ means the ‘shining one’. Satan, as you probably know, began as an angel of light (Isaiah 14:12 and 2 Corinthians 11:14). When he showed up at the Garden of Eden he wasn’t a reptile, he was quite attractive.

Attractive. That’s at the CORE of DECEIT.

If Obama says ‘if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor’, knowing it isn’t true, he’s actually appealing to something you WANT to hear. It’s ATTRACTIVE. It’s APPEALING. But it’s also a LIE, as we all now know.

When Hillary speaks about a woman’s right to her body and promotes abortion in the process, she’s appealing to young women’s DESIRE to have FUN without consequences. It’s ATTRACTIVE. It’s TEMPTING. But it’s also a LIE, because it’s not a woman’s body we’re talking about, but the baby’s LIFE.

Unfortunately for people who believe the democrats' lies, their lives usually turn out to be quite miserable. Young women are taught they’re nothing but a sex toy and they feel used by men. They have abortions and then fall into depression. They marry the wrong men and end up divorcing. Liberal men and women borrow their way through college or to home ownership and by the time they’re 40, their net worth is negative.

And what happens to them?

Same thing that happened to Adam and Eve – they’re kicked out of the Garden of Eden and are forced to face their problems on their own. And it’s hard to dig yourself out of that hole.

Why believe democrats, then? Why eat of the tree you’re not supposed to eat? Why?

Arrogance is one possible answer. People are taught to believe that they don’t need anything but themselves, their inner power. ‘Just do it. Yes, we can’. And the reality is, we cannot... without Jesus.

But the Left doesn’t want you to know that. The Left comes in attractive forms – from Hollywood celebrities to democrats in power. They’re all misled to believe their way is an alternative way of life. But, like Eve offering the fruit to Adam, they mislead others in the process. They offer you the fruit you’re not supposed to eat. They’re attractive, they tell you everything you want to hear – but they’re lying.

The leftist way of life is not a way of life at all – it’s the way to DIE. You see, when you die you leave all your possessions behind – you can’t take your money with you, you can’t take your car with you. 
​

When you die you leave what you own but you take what you are.

And who are you? What is your legacy? Fun? Money? Fame? Do any of these things matter when you go?

Of course not. But Satan doesn’t want you to know that. The serpent will tell you what you want to hear and it’s going to KILL you in the process.

Look at Latin America. It’s been ruled by leftists for over a century! Are they prosperous? Are they joyful?

No! They’re DEAD. They’ve been DECEIVED by the left!

Look at North Korea! You can’t go much more to the left of North Korea. They MASSACRE governments’ opponents. I’m not even going to ask you if they’re prosperous – they don't even have the RIGHT TO LIVE, so prosperity is nowhere near at the top of their priorities. My friend, the regular Joe in North Korea was DECEIVED by communism and the revolution 70 years ago. It is estimated that communism has killed more than 100 MILLION people in the former Soviet Union, North Korea, Cuba and China combined.

Deception is a powerful thing. And it uses WHAT'S CLOSEST TO YOUR HEART to fool you.

If a hunter wants to trap a bear, he uses meat. If a fisherman wants to catch a fish, he uses a worm. If Satan wants to kill souls, he uses Liberals.

Are you going to be deceived too? Are you willing to die for a LIE? Why risk it?

Adam and Eve had everything they needed in the Garden of Eden. But they were DECEIVED and they disobeyed God. And they (and all of us) paid the consequences of the original sin.

Genesis 3:17-19
Then to Adam He said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat from it’; Cursed is the ground because of you; In toil you will eat of it all the days of your life. Both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you; and you will eat the plants of the field; by the sweat of your face you will eat bread, till you return to the ground, because from it you were taken. For you are dust. And to dust you shall return.”

With the November 8th U.S. Presidential election results, there’s renewed hope that the incoming administration of Donald Trump will take down ISIS once and for all. Our hope is that President Trump will launch an effective attack that will annihilate ISIS for good.

However, things are not that simple – even when ISIS is defeated.

You see, the problem isn’t just ISIS. ISIS is, if anything, a symptom of something much bigger – and much worse.

In his now well-known 2014 Rosh Hashanah sermon, Atlanta Rabbi Shalom Lewis said:

‘There are one billion Muslims in the world and authorities agree that 5% are committed Islamists who embrace terror and wish to see, by any means possible, the Muslim flag over every capital, on every continent. I was relieved when I heard only 5%. Thank God it’s only 5%. Now I could sleep soundly. But wait…5% of a billion is 50 million Koran-waving, Allah Akbar-howling Muslim murderers out there planning to slit our throats, blow us up or forcibly convert us.’

Fifty million radical Muslims ready to kill you is a big problem, but the problem doesn't end there. The remaining Muslims also want a Muslim world - gradually dominating every corner of the earth. The problem is, as you can see, much bigger than just ISIS. And it can only be solved with one possible solution. 

But before we go into solutions space, let’s remember why these radical Muslims hate us so much.

Their hate isn’t something new – and quite frankly, its origins have nothing to do with America, as the Left would have you believe.

Their hate started with Abraham and his two sons – Ishmael and Isaac in Genesis 16,21. According to the Bible God had promised Abraham to make him the father of great nations (Genesis 12:1-3). Abraham had no children at the time and since it was taking too long for him and his wife Sarah to conceive, Abraham, influenced by his wife, decided to take the problem into his own hands – something that is usually not advisable to do. Abraham and Sarah decided that their servant, Hagar, would bear Abraham’s son – Ishmael.

But Ishmael wasn’t the son God had promised. So what happened? This is very important, so please pay attention: An angel told Hagar that Ishmael ‘shall be a wild man; his hand shall be against every man, and every man’s hand against him’ (Genesis 16:12). Keep this in mind.

When Ishmael was 14, Sarah finally gave birth to the son God had promised – Isaac.

Things didn’t go all that well in the family and one day Ishmael was making fun of Isaac - Isaac was still a boy but Ishmael was a teenager. In a rage, Sarah kicked their servant and her son Ishmael out of the house. Ishmael, being the wild man he was growing up to be, never forgave Sarah or Isaac for this.

As time went by Ishmael and Isaac had children of their own. Almost all Arabs, including the founder of Islam Muhammad, look to Ishmael as their father and all Jewish people look to Jacob (or Israel, Isaac’s son) as their father.

You see, it all started almost 4000 years ago with the conflict between Isaac and Ishmael. From a racial perspective, this conflict is ongoing today.

But race isn’t the only problem – a new religious conflict started with the establishment of Islam in the AD 600s.

ISIS is against everybody whose religion differs from Islam and their hatred can be traced back to the founding of Islam.

How do we expect to finish ISIS off if this racial and religious conflict has been going on for thousands and thousands of years? You take out 50 million of Muslim terrorists, then what?

Defeating ISIS isn’t enough – we have to do something else.

ISIS’s mission is to take Muslims back to the Koran to restore the ‘purity’ of their religion as taught by Muhammad. These extremists have gone back in time to the seventh century. These are fanatics…fifty million of them. Most modern Muslims de-emphasize the teachings mandating jihad against infidels, the subjugation of women and the hatred of Jews and Christians - though they too want an Islamic world. But radical Muslims are ready to kill for Allah, as we all know.

Islam is far from being a religion of peace. Former Muslim Nabeel Qureshi, now a Christian scholar, has said this about Islam’s history of warfare:

‘Within two centuries of the advent of Islam, Muslim conquests expanded Islamic territory from the shores of the Atlantic well into the valleys of India. At the end of that era, the most influential hadith collectors gathered whole books documenting Muhammad’s conduct and commands during times of warfare. Shortly after them, the great Islamic jurists systematically codified “sharia”, Islamic law, devoting whole branches of jurisprudence to the proper practice of warfare.
For these reasons, no one can claim that “Islam is a religion of peace” in the sense that the religion has been historically devoid of violence, neither in its origins nor in the history of the global Muslim community. Apart from the first thirteen years of Islamic history, when there were not enough Muslims to fight, Islam has always had an elaborate practice or doctrine of war’.

Defeating ISIS isn’t enough. Violence and warfare is in Islam’s DNA. So what can we do?

First, we must remember who is in control – God. Ultimately we know God wins the battle between good and evil, so we must rest assured that those of us, Christians, will be just fine no matter what happens.

And second, we must witness – we must preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Reach out to your friends and expanded network. Jesus Christ had to come because there just was too much sin on this earth. There still is, but all of us who have accepted Him as our Lord and Savior are now saved from sin and death. To the extent that Christians get closer to Jesus and behave more like Jesus, we’ll be showing those who follow false religions what it is like to be a Christian. This is not on President Trump alone – this is a mandate to all of us. Muslims honor Jesus as a great prophet – we have a golden opportunity to witness that Jesus is, in fact, our Savior.

John 13:34: A new commandment I give you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

​In the last eight years, during the Obama Administration, we’ve seen a drastic shift in the way we’re supposed to live, according to the liberals. We now have gay marriage, transgender bathrooms, late term abortion….anything goes.

The left speaks of ‘tolerance’ and how we’re supposed to tolerate all these activities.

Tolerance, of course, is only applicable to these very specific activities – try praying in school and you’ll see how tolerant your school teacher really is.

The left has turned wrong into right and right into wrong.

Now, I’m not saying we shouldn’t tolerate gays and lesbians – they are free to do whatever they want to do in their bedrooms and quite frankly, I don’t care to know.

But what is the government’s role? Is the government’s role to IMPOSE these minorities’ lifestyles on us?

No.
​

​Yes, control over you.

The more miserable you are, the more mistakes you make early in life, the more ‘weird’ you are, the lower your self-esteem, the more insecure you are…the easier it is to control you.

If you’re a single mom, you’re likely to need the government to survive.

If you’re a pregnant teenager, you’re likely to want the government to fund an abortion.

If you’re gay, you’re likely to want the government to approve of your sexual perversion. Let’s face it, it IS perversion to the extent that you're prioritizing sex in your life.

But ultimately, the government wants to make sure you’re as miserable as you can be so that you need it more.

You see, if you have a family that loves you, a good career or a prosperous business and friends, you’re truly FREE. You won’t need the government – you are joyful and your necessities are covered. Jesus has led you in the right direction.
​

Why?

To remain in power.

Everything career politicians do is intended to keep them in power. They don’t care that you’ll need food stamps, or a shrink to get by. They just want power and you're going to pay for it with your lack of opportunities, your liberty and your sanity. It's alright as far as they're concerned.

Think about it this way: no career politician has ever produced anything of real value that anyone would be willing to buy in the market place. They’re not the ‘producers’ – YOU are. They are the TAKERS.
They take your money and grow their own net-worth via political contributions or taxation. And they also STEAL OPPORTUNITIES from you. In school if instead of teaching you how to protect the turtles or the whales from God knows what they taught you to be careful and find a good wife and be a productive member of society, your chances at long-lasting joy would be much higher. But they don't want you to be joyful. They want you worried, poor and miserable.

In order to take more of your money and your freedom, they need to create chaos. In the 60's, it was drugs, sex and rock‘n roll. Now, it’s gay marriage and transgender bathrooms. The more confused you are, the easier you are to manipulate.

My friend, I’m not saying all career politicians are the same. In fact, only LIBERALS want you to be confused and a slave.

But you were born to be free.

God breathed life into you and He created you in His image.

Genesis 1:27-28: God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. God blessed them; and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

And in Revelation 3:20 you read: Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.

God gave you the freedom to choose Him. He’s knocking on your door right now. You don’t need the left. You just need God. He created you for a PURPOSE. Sex isn’t a purpose. It’s too small for you. You need something bigger – you’re so much more than just a sexual object. You’re valuable. You’re smart. Use your God given talents for GOOD, and start living a life full of joy!

You know how atheists think Christians are backward for having Faith – for believing in Jesus Christ, someone we’ve never seen, and Scriptures?

They think Genesis, the First Book of the Bible, is illogical – that evolution is science and that praying is a waste of time.

Since I used to be an atheist, turned agnostic and ultimately born again, I know all the excuses and arguments atheists present. Now, when I hear them, I simply feel sorry because I know there’s something I know which could save them that, unfortunately, they don’t know.

But what if I told you that atheists actually have faith too?

Let me give you a couple of examples:

• When you board a plane, do you TRUST that the pilot will be able to take you to your final destination safely?
• On that plane, do you TRUST that you will be served water, or orange juice or wine if you pay for it?
• Or when you got into a cab, do you TRUST that the driver will take you where you need to be?
• When you pay using your credit card, do you TRUST that the transaction will go through?
• When you undergo surgery, do you TRUST that the surgeon will save you?
• In the operating room, do you TRUST that the dose of anesthesia will be just enough to prevent you from feeling pain but not so much that you won’t be able to wake up?
• When you pay your insurance company, do you TRUST that it will cover for your losses when you need it?
• When you go online to make that payment, do you TRUST that the ‘secure’ payment site is truly secure?
• When you order products online, do you TRUST that they will be delivered to you?

People place their FAITH on other people, websites and professionals ALL THE TIME. They don’t even question sometimes whether or not they should actually trust them. Occasionally they find the hard way that perhaps they shouldn’t have trusted in the first place.

Sometimes operations go the wrong way

Sometimes the Insurance company doesn’t cover you as you thought.

And sometimes people flat out scam you.

And yet, trust is there.

But what makes it interesting, they trust people they DON’T KNOW and have NEVER SEEN.

As you know, on the plane example, passengers would even not be able to SEE THE PILOT at all. Or they are not able to SEE THE INSURANCE underwriter that priced his policy.

In other words, PEOPLE TRUST OTHER PEOPLE THEY NEVER SEE ALL THE TIME!

And yet, they think Christians are stupid! The SAME people who trust the pilot and who know the pilot is in the cockpit, say Christians are STUPID for believing in someone they can’t see!

What am I saying?

I’m saying that FAITH is a matter of the heart – it’s a matter of TRUST. And if you’re able to trust a pilot, you should be able to trust GOD even more!

John 14:6 : I’m the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Friend, if you can trust your doctor, you should definitely trust Jesus. I know that a doctor seems more real than Jesus, but think about this:

When you go to Buddha’s grave, who do you find? You find Buddha, of course.

When you go to Muhammad’s grave, who do you find? You find Muhammad, of course.

But when you go to Jesus’ grave, who do you find?
​

What does that tell you?

It tells you that Jesus was crucified, buried in His grave and RESURRECTED. He died on the cross for OUR SINS. And the fact that you won’t find Him in that grave tells you that the Bible is REAL.

Atheists have said that the body of Jesus must have been stolen and hidden by His followers, which explains why you won't find Jesus there. But Roman guards were guarding Jesus’ grave precisely to prevent that. These guards were in deep trouble because they FAILED. There was NO REASON for the guards to admit such failure – they would be EXECUTED as a result of this failure.

You see, people don’t lie to get themselves into trouble. They lie to get themselves OUT OF trouble. If you’re one of the guards, you won’t go to your commander and say ‘sorry, chief, I fell asleep and the body of Jesus was stolen’. You won’t do that simply because sleeping while on duty was punished by DEATH.

When Jesus blew the grave door open, these guards were terrified. They were in no mood to make up stories – they were going to be executed either way.

My friend, you have Faith. You have faith your doctor will save you and your taxi driver will take you to wherever it is your headed. That’s alright. But if you’re going to put your life in somebody’s hands, it should be Jesus’. He won’t disappoint you.
