Life or Death?



When people say, it's all up to God, they focus on God's sovereignty.   They forget about the devil.





If it's all up to God, that means He gets blamed for all  the evil.  This could not be further from the truth.





John 10:10 A (NKJV)
Jesus speaking: The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. 





There is a devil who is a thief.  God is not killing people in tornados and car wrecks.




Deuteronomy 30:19  (NKJV)
Moses speaking: I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;  




If it's all up to God and His sovereignty, then why did God say it's all up to You?





What we believe and don't believe effects our life.  There is a devil who is out to kill us, but there is a good God too!  



God is not your problem.  



He is the answer.  




John 10:10B (NKJV)
Jesus speaking:  I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.



Lord Jesus, take my life.  Be my Lord and Savior.

Dan Dehaan's Metro Bible Study

In the late 1970s, I attended an interdenominational Bible Study called “the Metro Bible Study” in Metro Atlanta, which began as a Small Group in “Dad” Charles Ellis’ basement. It was taught by Dan Dehaan, and eventually outgrew Dad Ellis’ basement by moving to the Griffin Middle School.  When I first started attending, it had grown to 300 teenagers who meet ever Tuesday night and featured Contemporary Christian Music played by “The Pat Terry Group”.  As the Metro Bible Study continued rapid growth, they eventually moved to the First Baptist Church of Smyrna, Georgia where it peaked around 1200 attendees.  In the summer of 1982, Dan Dehaan died in a plane crash and teacher John Riley took over. Under John Riley, the Bible Study grew to about 1,500 after eventually moving to Mt. Paran Church of God. When I was first invited to the “Metro Bible Study”, I didn’t go to hear Dan Dehaan teach because I didn’t know who he was.  What I went to hear...

In Trouble?

What do we do in the middle of trouble? Do I trust God when I don't understand? That's the situation the captives found themselves in, and this was God's response. Jeremiah 29:4-11  (NLT) 4  This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says to all the captives he has exiled to Babylon from Jerusalem: 5  “Build homes, and plan to stay. Plant gardens, and eat the food they produce.   6  Marry and have children. Then find spouses for them so that you may have many grandchildren. Multiply! Do not dwindle away!  7  And work for the peace and prosperity of the city where I sent you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, for its welfare will determine your welfare.” 8  This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Do not let your prophets and fortune-tellers who are with you in the land of Babylon trick you. Do not listen to their dreams...

The Book of Thoughts

Isaiah 55   (NKJV) 7  Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Wicked ways begin in the thoughts.  We must take responsibility for our thoughts.  We can think upon whatever we choose to think upon.   Let him return to the  Lord , And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon. 8  “For My thoughts  are  not your thoughts, Nor  are  your ways My ways,” says the  Lord . The Bible is a book of the thoughts of God.   What we think is a choice.   We can think upon what God has said.  We, too, have the power of forgetting offenses.  Thoughts of unforgiveness will tempt us, but we are not to take them.  Forgiveness is a choice.  God said... Hebrews 10:17   (NKJV) ...   “Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” 1 Peter 5:7 ...
