Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Many would suggest that the Bible is an antiquated religious book, filled with scientific fallacies and mistakes. Others believe that the Bible is a book of true religion, but dealing solely with spiritual subjects, with any matters of science and history to be interpreted spiritually or allegorically.

The Bible has proven to be more historically and archaeologically accurate than any other ancient book. It has been subjected to the minutest scientific textual analysis possible to humanity and has been proven to be authentic in every way.

The eleventh chapter of Hebrews, known as the great Hall of Fame of Faith reciting the faith and resulting action of many Old Testament heroes, begins with a description of what faith is

Every year brings new scientific discoveries that shed light on the past. The Institute for Creation Research is dedicated to the study of origins from a biblical perspective, and ICR News has compiled what we consider to be the top 4 findings related to origin studies from the stories we reported in 2009. The previous installments featured paleontology, biological evolution, and geology, and our final finding focuses on cosmology.

Drinking Well Water

This unusual name for a well means “well of the living one who sees me.” The chapter deals with Hagar when she fled from Sarai’s presence (v.6). The “angel of the LORD,” like a shepherd, found Hagar by a well in the wilderness (v.7). This is the first explicit reference in Scripture to the Lord’s messenger—the “angel of the LORD.”

“So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first” (Matthew 20:8).
So Called Christians Ignorantly Denouncing Israel

We summarily reject any “theology” that replaces God’s everlasting covenant concerning the land of Israel with the “church.” God has NOT cast away His people and we, the Gentile believer are grafted in by faith to Israel’s hope – Yeshua of Israel.
Jesus and the Four Thieves

All were thieves, deserving punishment. One was a betrayer, ending his life in suicide; one was a beneficiary, though only for a time; one was a berater, destined for hell; but one was a believer, receiving salvation and eternal life. Jesus, who received the penalty for thievery, can save even the thief, for He came “that they might have life, and . . . have it more abundantly.”




Thanksgiving – the Unseen
"For every creation of God is good, and nothing to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving. For it is sanctified through the Word of God and prayer." ~ Timothy 4:4-5
Depending on the blog read, television channel viewed, web page scanned, music file listened too or talk show observed – we are exposed to a very broad scope of opinions for celebrating this "Thanksgiving Day" season… or not.
In America especially, we have a very skewed way of celebrating the things we "see", feel and otherwise, partake in. We "see" the reason behind "Thanksgiving Day", be it for a religious, secular, political, educational or traditional purpose.
We possess volumes of stories told of a previous individual, family or nation’s sacrifice and gain wrought from tribulation, starvation, oppression, recession, proclamation, restitution, constitution, restoration and more. We "see" all these things plainly enough and remain thankful.
What about giving thanks for the "unseen?"
Should we not carefully consider giving thanks to God for those things generally hid from our eyes; the crippled and maimed war veteran, the faith of a dying loved one, the crushed by hopeful wife of a fallen police officer, the physically extended doctor and nurse, the parent wasting away in some nursing home, the young person scorned for remaining pure, the wanting missionary, that special school teacher, mentor or uncle who cared and still, many others?
And, what of Jesus Christ? Are we thankful for His "unseen" work of faithfulness to die in our place long ago? His resurrection? His coming again? His eternal rule in heaven and coming back to establish His kingdom on earth?
This "Thanksgiving Day" season should hold a much deeper significance for those who follow after Jesus Christ and His kingdom. Are we really thankful for the "unseen" love God has for this world and all of mankind?
Personally, I am thankful for Jesus Christ granting me forgiveness of sin and giving me the promise of eternal life – as indeed, he has toward my wife and most of my children.
What, my friend, are you thankful toward – seen and unseen?
