What is Jesus Asking Us About Newtown?

Must Read — Heaven Is Real: A Doctor’s Experience With the Afterlife
Here is a must read story from Newsweek—Heaven Is Real: A Doctor’s Experience With the Afterlife. I highly recommend you read it, especially if you question “what’s next” after this brief life.
I’ll let the story speak for itself and will simply end with this thought…
Even though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed day by day. For this slight momentary affliction is preparing us for an eternal weight of glory beyond all measure, because we look not at what can be seen but at what cannot be seen; for what can be seen is temporary, but what cannot be seen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
“He is a liar”
Jesus not only acknowledged the reality of the devil but he painted this picture of him…

Here’s a new flash for you: Continue reading ““He is a liar””
How Do You Describe God in One Word?
Think. What’s the one word that fully describes God. All-powerful? Infinite? Everything?
Love. As John says, “God is Love.” (1 John 4:16) God is all-powerful, infinite, and everything in one being. But the essence of God is love. It’s that simple.
As John goes on to say in 4:16, “Those who abide in love abide in God, and God abides in them.” And remember what Jesus said before his death for us, “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.” (John 15:12)
Love. Just a simple, but powerfully infinite thought for the day. Enjoy!
