Suffering and joy teach us, if we allow them, how to make the leap of empathy, which transports us into the soul and heart of another person. ln those transparent moments we know other people's joys and sorrows, and we care about their concerns as if they were our own.

How to get to Heaven from where you live.
When we die and go to Heaven, our Maker is not going to say, ''Why didn't you discover the cure for such and such?'' The only thing we're going to be asked at that precious moment is ''Why didn't you become you? ''

Gentle Reader,
It getting close to elections here in America (of course campaigning has been going on for almost 2 years can we say that we know the candidates and what they believe?) Probably not.

Basic beliefs for all Christians... read on Gentle Reader.... see you on the other side.
BASIC BRIEFS
(DEALING WITH THE QUESTION OF THE SUPERNATURAL AND THE PERSON OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST)
The one great barrier to a free and full modernistic sway is the Supernatural Element in Scripture. The Supernatural is an offence to Modernism. Many and absurd have been the attempts to excommunicate it from the faith. The scholastic contest against the Scriptural Content concludes in scholastic confusion
The Anti-supernaturalists start out by attempting to offer a natural explanation for the origin of life. Their efforts lead them into many pit-falls, bring them face to face with many embarrassing positions, and make them victims of many more difficulties than they think to overcome. Evolution is the Modernist's contribution given to refute the Genesis account of Creation. Evolution is made up of abstractions, presumptions, suppositions, and opinions.
The Word of God is the Divine Book of Facts. From Genesis to Revelation not one theory can be found. Man's theories can never shake Divine Facets
The Bible opens with these words: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." This is a clear, straightforward, positive statement of an absolute fact
Had the Bible been written by Evolutionists we would be reading something after this fashion: "In the far, far, dim, dark, misty, murky past, perhaps millions and perhaps trillions of years ago, it is supposed that God ( ?), or some sort of unknown energy or force, sufficiently accumulated to cause what it is reasonable to believe was a change. This change, it is presumed, caused other changes, and these still other changes, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, until, it is supposed, we now have and are what we now have and are; and there is now what there now is."
* * * * *
Getting rid of the Supernatural means finally getting rid of God. It is to bring the Divine Book down to the level of human books.
* * * * *
Every now and then someone raises a great question, viz: "Where did God come from?" As to His origination, He did not come from anywhere or anything. "From everlasting to everlasting, Thou are God" (Psa. 90 52). Everywhere and everything came from God (Cp. Rom., 11:36). As to Revelation, God in the person of Christ came from Heaven. Naturally, we cannot understand either fact; but faith rewards one with ,an understanding surpassing the natural. (Cp. Heb. 11:3, Jno. 8:16.)
* * * * *
How is one to believe? By accepting the Testimony that God has given to us in His Word concerning His Son Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit through The Word of God can and will make Christ real to any earnest, open-minded inquirer. When Christ is personally known, one has no difficulties as to the existence and personality of the All-supreme Being (Cp. Jno. 1:1K).
Nuff said ? I'll vote for God any day.....
Love Denis
And won't it be nice when we no longer have to live under "man's rule" but can live under God's rule alone! Happy New Year to you and Marti!
