Maturing in Christ oft times reveals how much more we need to mature! Sometimes it is HE that is testing our faith and He knows our trials come to only make us strong! Many are struggling today and saying "I just can't take any more" BUT He knows exactly how much pressure to put on us to drive us to our knees!

These are challenging times to say the least. Many have asked, "Is it a sin to worry?" Some have said they never worry! Possibly they have a bigger sin in lying!LOL Friend, we all worry from time to time that's when we need to "stir up the gift in us"---remember His Word is true, His promises sure and this too will pass!

If His promise of salvation is good enough for you to trust Him, by faith, for your eternity---why isn't is good enough to get you through today? His Word is true---His promises sure and yet so often we fail to really grab on to them and rest in His power!

Last week I shared on three different days old hymns from a Gerald Wolf hymn sing and several folks emailed to ask "How can I get my children to listen to that type of music?" Put your seat belt on---we're going to a very blunt, straightforward trip today! It's time God's people DARE to trust God!

How can a person say they are born again yet believe there is more than one way---Jesus---to get to heaven? A lady writes about her church splitting an wants to know why Christians don't see gossip as a sin? What makes a good Christian in your opinion? A selection of great hymns from Saturday night!

I am amazed how many Christians will go through a whole day, even longer---and never thank the one who saved their soul, forgave all their sins and has prepared a fabulous place called heaven for them---guaranteed for all who genuinely have trust Him! Ps. 103 should be our theme!

There is an absolute way to know IF you were to die---today, tomorrow or anytime---you would go to heaven! God loves you and wants to forgive you of every sin you've ever committed---past, present or future---find out today have you can know for sure you have eternal life!

THE greatest comfort about knowing Christ is to know and not have to wonder what will happen when you die! God removes all fear of death and what will happen if that happens today, tomorrow or the next day! When you trust Jesus Christ all fear of "what if" is gone and it is forever settled---heaven awaits!

David Crosby, of Crosby, Stills and Nash, said one day before he died that "heaven is overrated!" The fact he died one day after saying that should not escape you and one can only wonder what he thinks now! If there---is it overrated? If he isn't---I bet he wishes he was!

More than any Bible College or any of the sermons I have heard from many preachers the lessons I learned from an 11 year old little boy have stuck with me over all these years. My faith and trust in God was made strong by this boy's life and death!
