Who is Like God?

14 years ago by Emmanuel Higgins

Have you ever gazed up at a starry night and wondered, what is God really like? Does He see me right now? Ancient religious, like the Egyptians and the Greeks had a myriad of different 'gods', and even today different religions have their different gods. But what is the true God like? And what sets the God of the Bible apart from all other false gods? In Psalms 135:15-17 the Bible speaks about false gods in this way: The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men's hands...

Don't Quit

I once read a story of a gold miner who left his home and job and everything he had to go and look for gold. He travelled for days until he finally came to a place where he thought there was gold. So he started to dig. And he dug and he dug. For weeks he dug. Until he had a long deep tunnel. Months went by and he still continued to dig. It got harder and hander as the soft ground turned into solid rock. But he continued to work. Until finally one morning he threw his shovel and pick on the groun...

Sinking Sand or Solid Rock?

15 years ago by Emmanuel Higgins

There were once two men, and each needed to build a house. The first man was foolish, and chose to build on sandy soil where it was easy to access and easy to dig the foundations. In a few short weeks he was almost finished. The second man was wise, and chose to build his house on a rocky hill, where it was very hard to access and to dig the foundation. He spent many months building his house. As time passed a huge storm broke upon the houses of these men. After much rain, a fl...

Sons and Daughters of God

15 years ago by Emmanuel Higgins

How would you like to be the son or daughter of the most powerful Monarch in the world? But most of us aren't related to the Kings and Queens of England or any other country! But the Bible speaks about another royal family! Galatians 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. What did that verse say? That we are all the children of God! But how can that be? How can a no-body like me, become a child of God! Well it says in that verse that it is by "Faith in Ch...

Greatest Importance

15 years ago by Emmanuel Higgins

There was once a business man who was teaching a class of high-achieving students. And he demonstrated the following illustration: He took a bucket and filled it up with as many fist-size rocks as he could. And asked the students, is the bucket full now? Everyone thought that it was full so they said yes, but the man shook his head and started pouring gravel into the bucket. He poured and shook the bucket until it was full of gravel, and then asked the students, is the bucket full now? They w...

The Touch of the Master's Hand

15 years ago

What makes something valuable? Don't you find it strange that a thin piece of plastic with "$100" written on it is so sought after in society today? Money has no value in its self, it is only the value that we put on it. Value is really determined by the price you are willing to pay for it. If you paid $1,000 for a watch, would you wear it working in the garden or doing building work? No way. You might damage it. You would look after it. Value effects how we treat things. Value is really...

Footprints in the Sand

15 years ago

One night I dreamed a dream. As I was walking along the beach with my Lord. Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, One belonging to me and one to my Lord. After the last scene of my life flashed before me, I looked back at the footprints in the sand. I noticed that at many times along the path of my life, especially at the very lowest and saddest times, there was only one set of footprints. This really troubled...

Am I Alone?

15 years ago by Emmanuel Higgins

Have you ever travelled into the wilderness or forest somewhere, and just stopped and listened to the silence? Or have you climbed to the top of a mountain and as far as your eye could see there was just hills, mountains and trees. Perhaps you were the only person there. There is something peaceful about being alone in nature, with just the beautiful hues of green to gaze upon. But we have to ask ourselves "Who created all these beautiful things?" and "Does He care about me now?" We...

All Power (part 2)

(continued from part 1 ) God has promised that He will be our strength, and that He will help us and deliver us in our times of trouble. But how do we actually have this power and help in our life? Its ok to read it in the Bible and think wow that sounds amazing! But how does this come down to a practical everyday level? Psalms 37:39-40 But the salvation of the righteous [is] of the LORD: [he is] their strength in the time of trouble. And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he ...
