Living Proof Live (part 3)

# 5. We can revel in the certainty of the things we have been taught. – Our faith is based on fact. There is proof that Jesus came to earth, lived here, and overcame the grave. This is not just some fairy tale story to tell your kids. It really happened, it is true. But, if you don’t believe me, try proving that it didn’t happen. Many have tried to, and failed. I have heard stories of college professors, or students trying to prove that God never existed and they can’t. There is too much evidence pointing to the fact that he does exist and is present in our everyday life. It’s really sad that many people believe that God created the world, wound it up like a clock and left us on our own. He is present in every part of our lives. Everything that we have been taught from the Bible about God, is true. It is really the only absolute truth that we have in this life.

# 6. Jesus has passed us the salt also. – Salt is used for many things: to clean the body (Ezekiel 16:4), to season or preserve food (Job 6:6), to give flavour.  As Christians we are not called to be boring and bland. We are called to be the flavour of the world! We need to become the flavour of Christ and show the world that He tastes Good! Matthew 5:13 “ You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses it’s saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.” Let’s continue to be salty and set an example for the people of this world. Let us show them how good life tastes when you live for the King!

 

I have 1 more point to share with you and my hope is to share it with you before the end of this week. If anything that I have written has really struck you and you would like to share, I would love to hear from you!

Have a great day!

My favourite room in my house

Anyone who knows me personally can agree when I say that my favourite room in my house is my kitchen.                     Not because it’s fancy, which, it’s not.    Not because it’s clean & tidy, which it most often, is not.  Most definitely not because of the great view out my window, which is my neighbours garage. But because that’s the place where I get to create! That is the place where all the ‘magic’ happens. That’s the place where I go from ‘mom’ to ‘magician’ and I can just let my imagination run free! I LOVE,LOVE, LOVE to bake (this is not an exaggeration).  What I also love, is a baking challenge. I have a few friends with restricted diets and I have had the opportunity to bake for them. I have friends that can’t have sugar or dairy and only certain kinds of flour.  This was quite a challenge for me in the beginning, but I have done a lot o...

Some Encouragement...

  What a nice weekend it was! The weather wasn't too bad either. It could have been a bit warmer but this is Manitoba after all. Spring is always unpredictable here!   I also had a chance to go back to the book fair by myself on Saturday. It was such a good time! I spent 45 minutes there and I only looked at one section! I came home with an armful of books and it only cost me 5 bucks! I didn't know this ahead of time but the last day is always half price day. So lucky for me, every book was half price! That makes shopping (especially when your on a budget) a lot more exciting! I was able to find some neat books for my sponsor boys as well. I found a couple on animals, one on hockey (the great Canadian sport), and one on northern Canada. Now, I just need to figure out which book to send to each boy.    I also found some great christian books for my husband and myself. The one that I'm reading now is called " Witness The Passion" by Richard Exley....

Two Words.

Test everything. These 2 words have played over and over in my mind lately. I knew that there is a verse that says this, but I didn’t remember where to find it, so last night I asked my husband. He, for some reason can find everything for me. He found it in 1Thessalonians 5:21 “Test everything. Hold on to the good.” What exactly does that mean? What I have found lately, is that this applies to ALL things in All areas. Especially those concerning Christianity and the Truth. These days, you can’t just walk into a church and assume that what you hear the pastor say is true. To do that can be very dangerous.  What I understand from this verse is that we are supposed to test everything against the Word of God and hold on to the Truth only. Take your Bible to church with you, check what the pastor is speaking against the Word. We need to make sure that what we are being taught is God’s truth. Everything that your church practices and teaches should be in your Bible. I’m so very thankf...
