Following Christ English

How can we love people who aren't even very likable? I remember that Jesus told us to love everyone, but that's impossible, isn't it? You’re right when you say that Jesus told us to love others—including those who aren’t particularly likable. He said, “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another” (John 13:34). Why did Jesus command us to love others? The reason is because God loves them, in spite of their faults—and He wants us to have the same kind of love for others that He has. Think about this for a moment. The Bible says God loves the whole world—and yet for the most part the world isn’t very lovable. In fact, the world is filled with people who don’t want anything to do with God, and are living in sin and rebellion against Him. And yet God still loves them. How do we know this? We know it because God sent His Son into the world to give His life for us and call us back to Himself. If God didn’t love the worl

Quotion.. Why does our culture always talk about a broken heart or a glad heart? The heart is simply another part of the body like the brain that does our thinking and our lungs that give us breath. Answers.. From the writings of the Rev. Billy Graham The human heart beats about 100,000 strokes every 24 hours. It contracts about 4,000 times an hour. Our entire blood supply circulates through our hearts every four minutes. No wonder doctors urge us to take care of our hearts! Scripture speaks of the heart, but not in the way of a life-sustaining muscle. It’s talking about our entire inner being. The heart is the seat of our emotions, the seat of decisive action, and the seat of belief (as well as doubt). The heart symbolizes the center of our moral, spiritual, and intellectual life. It is the seat of our conscience and life. And God knows our hearts well. The Almighty God searches our hearts, weighs our hearts according to Scripture, opens our hearts to His truth, and gives

“God made a woman…and…brought her to the man.” Before God gave Adam a wife, He gave him a calling. Then He explained to Adam that he would need help to fulfill that calling; he would never reach his maximum potential on his own because he was incomplete. Adam didn’t realize that until God revealed it to him. And how did He reveal it? Once Adam started naming the animals in the garden, he was in a position to see that each of them had a partner. Every creature had another creature just like him or her, whereas Adam didn’t. Notice: God didn’t give Adam a wife until he generated in him the realization that he needed one. We value something or someone once we realize how vital they are. One of the most common complaints counselors hear is that one of the partners in a marriage feels unneeded. But when God joins you, and you understand how each of you contributes to the relationship, you both feel needed. The first thing in Scripture God declared “not good” (v. 18 ) was that Ada

One of the wonderful rewards of being a believer in Jesus Christ–is never having to worry about anything! When you put your full trust in your Lord and Savior, you will experience peace such as you have never known, because God has your best interest in mind–always! And He is there for you 100% of the time! He makes Himself available to you any time of the day or night. And best of all, when you pray, He ALWAYS answers! You just need to relax and put your full faith and trust in Him–because He has it all under control. Sometimes His answer may be instantaneous, while other times you may have to wait days, weeks, or even years for your answer. But if you knew the end from the beginning–you wouldn’t want it any other way . . . than God’s way! The first time you experience a direct answer to your prayer, you might be tempted to think, “Hmmmm, that’s probably just a coincidence.” The second time you have more confidence to know something intentional is happening. But then you s
