Christian Commentary Encouraging Devotions

Clearwater Beach is amazing.

Clearwater downtown is...different.

It seemed strange, not like a normal downtown.

Clean, but strangely quiet.

Then we noticed a bunch of people, most with white shirts and black pants crossing the street.

We approached the bulding they were exiting.

Headquarters of the Church of Scientology.

Sad.

So many young people.

Unsmiling.

Searching.

Going down a path that will not lead to life.

From Reinhard Bonnke,

The Resurrection of the Living

Somebody who was feeling very low said to a friend of mine; "I wish I could die."

He replied, "Why do wish you could die?

Do you think you would enjoy it?

If you don't enjoy being alive, you won't enjoy being dead."

I believe in life after death. I also believe in life before death.

I am talking about the resurrection of the living.

Christianity means living in Resurrection life - now.

Faith in God is not pie in the sky when you die.

It is pie now - life here, not just hereafter.

"The just shall LIVE - by faith." Hebrews10:38

Faith brings life. Unbelief never brought anything.

If you don't get touched now with resurrection power, you never will have life.

Jesus said; "I am the Resurrection." John11:25

Everything Resurrection Day is going to be, is wrapped up in Jesus.

If you have Christ you are in the Resurrection.

If you die when you are already dead in sins, you stay dead in sins.

If you die when you are alive in Christ, you stay alive in Christ.

These are the alternatives.
