Forgiveness

Revelation: Don’t be Aftraid

Many people shy away from the Book of Revelation thinking it is too frightening or not applicable to the daily life of a Christian; certainly not to someone in recovery. No so! Revelation has many themes running through it. In this Book great evil is given full reign over the earth. Horrible and terrifying images are presented. There seems to be no way to overcome this terrible evil.

But if you read to the end of this book we learn that God is sovereign. He is greater than any power in the universe. Satan and his minions are defeated. In the end, a new heaven and a new earth are created where we, as believers, live in peace and security for eternity.

A Love Story

    One day, I woke early in the morning to watch the sunrise.
    Ah! The beauty of God’s creation is beyond description!
    As I watched, I praised God for His beautiful work.
    As I sat there, I felt the Lord’s presence with me.

    He asked me,
    “Do you love me?”
    I answered,
    “Of course, God! You are my Lord and Saviour!”

    *******************************************

    Then He asked,
    “If you were physically handicapped, would you still love me?”

    I was perplexed. I looked down upon my arms, legs and the rest
    of my body and wondered how many things I wouldn’t be able to do,
    the things that I took for granted.

    And I answered, “It would be tough Lord, but I would still love You.”

If I have an addiction, can I still be saved?

Yes! We are not called to perfect ourselves before we come to God. If we could do that, then Jesus could have spared himself the agony of dying of the cross in payment for our sins. He would have simply instructed us to live sin-free lives. He knew, though, that man is utterly incapable of cleansing himself, as demonstrated throughout the Old Testament.
