The Truth

In discussing religion and faith with both Christians and non-Christians, I've always said I think it takes more faith to believe that God does not exist than to believe that He does. This article is case in point.

In it, an Indiana University biologist argues that: 1) human sexual reproduction doesn't make evolutionary sense, 2) reproduction through sex between two partners is actually inefficient, and 3) the best way to reproduce is self-fertilization, where females impregnate themselves.

So, the question is, why do humans reproduce through sex with other humans?

Well, instead of chalking it up to God or some sort of divine spiritual inspiration, the study finds that the reason for human sex is to stave off infection and disease from parasites.

Really?

The Bible tells us that in the last days, people will begin to believe any and every thing under the sun (Mark 13:22-23). As true believers, our duty is to trust and believe in the truth. Make sure the things you believe are supported by the truth and not a lie.

God bless,

Honor

“Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you." ~ Exodus 20:12

Honoring your mother and father is not only good for your relationship, it's good for your health and strength. God's Word says that doing so makes your days long upon the earth.

Well, today's my mother's birthday and I just wanted to say how grateful I am for all that her and my dad sacrificed for me and now, my growing family. Just a reminder that we should honor our parents, not just on Mother's or Father's Day, but every day of the year.

God bless,
J.W.

Who Wan Come Test?

"'And try Me now in this,' says the LORD of hosts, 'If I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you such blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it." ~ Malachi 3:10

I know it's often times hard to believe in what you can't see. You think something is supposed to be happening in your life and nothing does. Or you're waiting for a sign from God to show you that He exist and He cares.

But God is looking for you to take the first step. He says "try Me now in this and see if I will not open up windows in heaven for you." God is waiting for YOU to exercise your faith. As soon as you're willing to step out of the boat and trust Him (Matthew 14:28-31), that's when He'll show up in your life.

God bless,
J.W.

Today Is The Day!

"This is the day the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." ~ Psalm 118:24

Just a reminder - No matter what life's ups and downs may bring, each day is another opportunity for a blessing in your life. So, don't let a setback stop you from pursuing your goal. Don't let yesterday's setback keep you from today's manifestation. Elevate, move forward, and enjoy each day for the gift that it is.

God bless,
J.W.

Let Your Light So Shine

"You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." ~ Matthew 5:14-16

You don't have to be a celebrity to have influence. As Christians, the things we do everyday are seen and observed by the people around us. If we claim to represent God, trust and believe that there's someone watching to see if you are really who you claim to be and if your faith is sincere. Make sure the example you set is one worthy of the King you represent.

God bless,
J.W.
