Risk

* To laugh is to risk appearing the fool;
* To weep is to risk appearing sentimental;
* To reach out for another is to risk involvement;
* To expose feelings is to risk exposing true self;
* To place your ideas, your dreams before the crowd is to risk their loss;
* To love is to risk not being loved in return;
* To live is to risk dying;
* To hope is to risk despair;
* To try is to risk failure;
* But risk must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing;
* The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing and is nothing;
* He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love and live;
* Chained by his certitudes, he is a slave and has forfeited freedom'

Truth Vs Lie is it ok to lie for a good purpose, if it does not harm anyone? Lets look at what the word of God says about lies.

Truth Vs Lie   I have noticed over the last 38 years especially amongst  Christians  there is a lot of “ white” lies and half truths . To understand how living in Truth or living in lies impacts one’s life and destiny we will have to dive in to the word. To understand something we need to have clear definition, Clarity is the key.   Let’s look at what the  word of God  calls as Truth.   1)    Jesus is the Truth   John 14:6 6  Jesus *said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. Conclusion:  Jesus is the Truth  2)    The Word of God is the Truth John 17:17 17  Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.  3)   Jesus is the Word John 1:14 14  And the Word became flesh, and  [ a ] dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of  [ b ] the only begotten from the Father, full of grace a...

Eternal security: Truth or a Lie

  Eternal security, aTruth or a Lie   Why is it an important doctrine, as it can lead to someone taking lightly biblical warnings about sin and the devil. If one is an overcomer and one believes in eternal security, it is not dangerous to him because he is having a genuine faith. It however matters what you believe if you are teaching others which can cause them to take salvation for granted by practicing a sinful lifestyle.  Many who believe in eternal security quote the following verse Romans 8: 38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love . Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[b] neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love.   Response:  Nothing can separate us from the love of God except our own will and sin ! Our own will chose salvation. Our own will, will lead to separation and rejection .  2 Timothy 2: 11-13  11 It is a trustworth...

Biblical marriage.

Many churches have conformed to the world’s perspective on marriage and divorce. In today’s culture marriage is not a covenant until death do us apart. People try to find “just causes” and “reasons” to divorce their spouses. In the scripture divorce is unacceptable to God. He in fact hates it. Marriage is for life. It’s not easy to be married to a difficult person which is why we have to be careful who we choose to marry. But once we are married to that person it’s a relationship for life. Until death separates us. Here are some scriptures that make this very clear. We can choose to ignore it; find people who agree with us, go to churches that turn a blind eye to our disobedience but one day we will stand before God and answer him for the lives we have lived. Marriage a union established by God. “And He answered and said, “Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be jo...
