Bible & Science
There is much debate in our culture between science and the Bible.Others suggest that science should drive our understanding of religion. Still others argue that religion should drive our scientific understanding. There are truly deep divisions in many senses as people claim different sources of authority on these issues.
Faith In God
The Bible is not referring to a superficial acknowledgment of facts or in the existence of Jesus. Rather the Bible explains that we must believe who Jesus’ claim to be (God in human form) and trust what Jesus has done (died and resurrected). This faith in the person and work of Christ is what saves (Romans 10:9–10; 1 Corinthians 15:3–4)
Peace with GOD
How do we find true and lasting peace?
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus
God’s Word cannot fail
If something is infallible, it is never wrong, absolutely trustworthy or sure and it is unfailing in effectiveness or in operation. This idea can be clearly seen when Isaiah writes that,
“So shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.” The Word of God can claim infallibility because it is not of human origin. Yes, men wrote the Bible but it did not find its origin in men as Peter goes on to write, “For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit."
God’s power is made perfect in weakness
Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Paul writes in his second letter to the Corinthians that God’s grace is sufficient, for God’s power is made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).
Despite human weaknesses, God’s grace accomplishes God’s purposes through them in a fallen and perverse world. It is a mind-boggling concept that the Holy, Just and Righteous Creator of the universe would use vile rebellious sinners to participate in His prefect work.
This reality should strengthen and encourage us in spite of life’s trials and challenges. God is near and He is at work (John 17, Roman 8:28). If it be suffering, persecution or even threat of death God is working these situations out for our good and ultimate glorification (Roman 8:28, Acts 14:22).
Throughout scripture we are told that God is present and is our continual help and refuge. At the same time the more one realizes his or her dependance on God (weaker, broken) the clearer God’s grace will shine through in that person’s life (1 Corinthians 2:3).
Jesus explains in John chapter 15 that whoever “abides” in Him and He in them, that person will bear much fruit, for apart from Him an individual can do nothing. (John 15:5)
First one must be “in” Jesus. Jesus must be their Lord and Savior.
Second, one must “abide” in Jesus, hence one must stay with Jesus and rely on Him as one only source of true strength (Ps. 46:1, Rom. 1:16), guidance (Ps. 119:105, 2 Peter 1:19) and protection (Matthew 10:28, Hebrew 13:6).
Third to sum this reality up Jesus explains in 15:5 that we can do “nothing”, that is absolutely not “one” thing, that could be considered praise worthy “good” apart from the blood of Christ (Roman 3:22).

A Soul's Value
Jesus said, "For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? For what can a man give in return for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.” Mark 8:36-38
In other words Jesus is saying when man finds himself before the judgment seat of God awaiting eternal Judgement for his lost soul, with what will he be able to give in exchange for his soul? The answer is nothing! A man's soul is priceless!
Let us seriously consider who Jesus is in our lives today! Is He you Lord and Savior. In other words do you believe what he said about the human condition (sinful), you need as savior from eternal punishment, do you trust Him for this and is he the Lord of your life (John 14:6, Roman 3:23; 6:23, 1 Corinthian 6:20)?
