Brethren,

Greetings in Jesus' mighty name and I pray that we all choose to feed on the heavenly which is the word of God because without it we die even though we feed on pizzas and those other wonderful meals.

if you take millions of different dishes minus the word of God you will still hunger.

So always hunger for the word of God because its what created the world, so if you want to change the world, you need the word of…

When something in your world goes haywire, to what do you default?  Sure, your computer has default settings, but do you?  In the last several days, I have been involved in relational settings—

--in which a beloved father passed away

--a much-loved younger brother was killed suddenly in a motorcycle accident,

--when the news about ‘just how much cancer’ was not so good,

--a dad came into town to visit his adult children, but showed up for each of two visits…

When I was a child my father would tell me stay curved and close, while he was talking about my piano lessons it still applies to everyday life. Especially when it comes to the lord. Stay curved and close to his teachings and his order. In these times when the world is going through so much there are so many people looking to take advantage or lead you in the wrong direction away from the lord. This is the time to buckle down and stay curved and close. Because of a fight I had with my mom I…

This is another phenomena that is under attack by other Christians and Christian groups. A number of us have had this particular manifestation occur, so we all know, without any shadow of a doubt, that this is truly a real manifestation from the Lord.

In my opinion, this is one of the neatest manifestations that you can receive from the Lord. I never cease to marvel and awe at this manifestation when I actually get the chance to hear it come into manifestation through someone…

A person can be raised in church their entire life and have no clue who God is.

You see, there is a difference between 'believing God' and 'knowing God'. There is? Wait...you mean to tell me I can believe in God and have no clue what His personality is like, or His characteristics? Yep. That's exactly what I'm telling you. You see, God seeks the ones who are broken hearted. He draws close to those who have no hope, who have no future but only a past. He comes to those whose…

How many times have you been asked that question? Even a better question is how many times have you had that thought yourself?  If God is love how come He continues to allow brutal wars, evil leaders, terrorist attacks, natural disasters, starving children and the death of love ones? 

We have all contemplated the ever worsening condition of our world and at some point we get to the end of our human logic, look up to the heavens and simple say, “Why?”  If God loves us wouldn’t He make…

Have you ever been on the defense for your faith?  Anyone ever said anything like this to you-- ‘You Christians—you’re so arrogant, believing that Jesus is the only way to God…’?  I know what Jesus said to such a statement—and so we can reply with, ‘Well, actually, I didn’t say it, Jesus did—“I am the way, the truth, and the life, and no man comes to the Father except through me.”1   I didn’t say it; Jesus’ words are recorded in Scripture, and I guess that’s good enough for me.’  A…

Look around. Can you see someone that is suffering? Of coarse there are the obvious thinsgs like people in Hospitals, people confined to wheelchairs, someone on crutches, or a terrible rash that is visable. But can you recognise the person who suffers from a broken marriage, a deadly illness, or a broken heart?…

About 2 months ago I purchased a brand new Windows 7 phone.  As I mentioned before, I am a programmer by trade.  So I got this phone so I could write “Apps” on it.  Well around Christmas time I wrote a free app that is GODSurfer related.  Basically it is really simple.  The app displays the current Prayers listed on the site and allows the users of the app. to add their own prayer.

As you may or may not know, when a prayer is added.  Both the…

Why all this talk about Scripture? There’s the historical scope of Scripture, the inspirational and instructional value of God’s Word, and brief insight into the various translations that abound .  .  . now what?  Is that it?  Actually, no.

Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples.   Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”1  God’s Word tells us how we got here, who we are, who we are purposed to be, how to live life, and even how to…

God is love. When we take up permanent residence in a life of love, we live in God and God lives in us. This way, love has the run of the house, becomes at home and matures in us, so that we're free of worry on Judgment Day—our standing in the world is identical with Christ's. There is no room in love for fear. Well-formed love banishes fear. Since fear is crippling, a fearful life—fear of death, fear of judgment—is one not yet fully formed in love. We, though, are…

So, we’ve looked at changing our thinking, noting that just to say, ‘Okay, I’m not going to think about THAT anymore’ really doesn’t work too well; instead, we must replace our thoughts with more positive thoughts—like those from the Bible.  We’ve also looked at elevating our thoughts by standing on the promises of God.  But just to consider Scripture inspirational is not enough to know about the written Word of God.

What exactly is contained in the Bible?  Sixty-six books—39 in the…
