Its’ Not An Easy Road - Christian Illustration

I have a friend who’s trying to find through the fog of doubt. While he still believes that God is good, much of what he’s experiencing seems to contradict that. He’s questioning the value of virtue because he sees another person’s vice on go unfinished. Although he knows that he ought to enjoy his walk with God, right now it’s more duty than delight.

I also have an acquaintance that seems to be trying to hold on to God with one hand while clutching her sins in the other. To anyone who’s questioning the value of walking with God, I would reply: saying no to selfish choices and saying yes to Gods commands may not be easy, but it’s the only way to experience true and lasting joy.

Psalm 112 declares the person who respects God and wants to please Him will enjoy his favor. The doesn’t guarantee a trouble free life, of course, but it does assure us that we can have peace even in the tough times.

We can delight in knowing God’s blessing is on us, even when the road is not easy.

Money - Christian Illustration

Money is Power. That drives most cultures of the world. People today fight for wealth, often at the price personal integrity, in order to gain the power to live where and how they want, drive the kind of vehicle they want, and get whatever else they want.

In a culture that worships money, believers in Jesus Christ are in danger of doing the same. Some use their money to control someone lives, even their own family, friends, relatives or they may threaten to stop giving to their church if they don’t get their way.

How unlike Jesus! Jesus Christ son of God Had power over disease, and He used it to heal the sick. He had had power over the sea, and He used it to remove fear. He had power over his own life, yet He willingly gave up His life to save all who would call upon Him. Jesus possessed all power, but He used it to serve others and protect and heal who believes in Him.

Instead of using money or anything else for selfish means, used it to serve others, like what Jesus did, that the use of power.

Friend - Christian Illustration

What is FRIEND??
Some of us, or all of us need at least one or two friend or BEST FRIEND. even you are Christians,non-believers or what religion you are, everyone leaving in this earth can't stand alone without of what we called " Friend "
As i asked one of my friend what is the definition of friend for him. And he defined it as " Someone who knows all about you and likes you just the same." But as i continuously searched for the definition of friend. i read about Henry Durban ville who made some studies and observation about Friendship. according to him " A friends is the first person to come in when the whole world goes out." And that's how he defined it. but as i searching for definition i remember the event happened two years before in our church.the event took place was entitled of " A friend loves at all times" proverbs 17:17...

we can't improve on that definition to have someone who remains true to us under all circumstances is one of life's choicest blessings. the support, comport, and encouragement that only an intimate friend can offer is sorely needed when the burdens of life weigh heavily upon us. and you feel alone and nobody love you or care for you. don't worry their was an ultimate friend, for He laid down His life and that was JESUS. makes an important point and takes us beyond a description of what it means to be a friend. it says that " a man who has friends must himself be friendly." the implication is clear. friendliness must began with us . we must take the initiative in developing relationship with others.let us be to others what we desires for ourselves. when it comes to friends, to have one you must be one.
