Your life and mine are part of His creation, and we need to be thankful for that if not for anything else.

Did you ever wonder why? Because nothing that is done for God in this life will work unless it is done by faith. Even people who didn't know Jesus, like the servants at the wedding at Cana, had a smidgen of faith.

What exactly does it mean? I am not sure that I have the time or the typing ability to write that treatise which would explain it simply but also fully, but I will do my best. The claim or the idea of being "In Christ" means no more or less than when someone tells their significant other that they are in love with them, http://inhisservicetilhecomes.blogspot.com/2015/09/in-christ.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (TEldridge46)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4481277901819023933.post-2669253131362106286Thu, 21 Aug 2014 19:55:00 +00002014-08-21T14:55:00.302-05:00eternal life in ChristGodGod loves us allJesusTruthWhy do we tend to make up stuff to say in front of people?

How could someone, even an atheist, believe that hell could possibly be better than Heaven? The absence of God and light, other than from the fires of hell.

Not from the lack of members or converts, but from a lack of conviction and purpose. We, as the Church that our Lord gave His life for, have become stale, bland and unappealing to those who need Hope the most.

Ezekiel's reply to this idea was that God does not want you to die! (See v. 23.) These statements from God cannot be any more plain, forceful, or beautiful than this: I have no pleasure in the death of anyone who dies. (v. 32).
