Is There a God? Does God exist? Here are six straightforward reasons to believe that God is really there. By Marilyn Adamson     PDF   Listen to article Just once wouldn't you love for someone to simply show you the evidence for God's existence? No arm-twisting. No statements of, "You just have to believe." Well, here is an attempt to candidly offer some of the reasons which suggest that God exists. But first consider this. When it comes to the possibility of God's existence, the Bible says that there are people who have seen sufficient evidence, but they have suppressed the truth about God. 1 On the other hand, for those who want to know God if he is there, he says, "You will seek me and find me; when you seek me with all your heart, I will be found by you." 2 Before you look at the facts surrounding God's existence, ask yourself, If God does exist, would I want to know him? Here then, are some reasons to consider.

Why Is Life So Hard? "Why?" When life is hard, is there a way to have peace? PDF   How do we explain what we see in this world? Terrorist attacks, sex slavery, racism, world hunger? Subconsciously, we probably ask ourselves questions like these quite often. But consciously we rarely do. We're so busy living our lives we rarely stop and wonder WHY? But then something happens to wake us up. Our parents get divorced. The girl down the street gets abducted. A relative gets cancer. That wakes us up for awhile. But then we can often sink back into the denial. That is, until another tragedy hits, another incongruence. Then we're likely to think, Something isn't right here. Something is really, really wrong. This isn't how life's supposed to be! So, WHY do bad things happen? WHY isn't this world a better place? There is an answer to the WHY question, found in the Bible. But it's not an answer that most people like to hear: the worl

  Who is Jesus? Is Jesus God? See what Jesus said about himself, his equality with God, and what exactly Jesus did to prove it. It is impossible for us to know conclusively whether God exists and what he is like unless he takes the initiative and reveals himself. We must scan the horizon of history to see if there is any clue to God's revelation. There is one clear clue. In an obscure village in Palestine, 2,000 years ago, a Child was born in a stable. Today the entire world is still celebrating the birth of Jesus, and for good reason. Is Jesus God? Did Jesus ever claim to be God? We're told that "the common people heard him gladly." And, "He taught as One who had authority, and not as their teachers of the Law." 1 It soon became apparent, however, that he was making shocking and startling statements about himself. He began to identify himself as far more than a remarkable teacher or prophet. He began to say clearly that he was God. He mad

TUKIMTEGEMEA MUNGU TUTA SHINDA MAJARIBU "Ee Bwana MUNGU nukuomba UKANITIE NGUVU MARA HII TU. Waamuzi 16:19-21,28-30 Naye akamlaza usingizi magotini pake. Kisha akamwita mtu akavinyoa vile vishungi saba vya nywele za kichwa chake akaanza kumsumbua nguvu zake zikamtoka. Kisha akasema, Samsoni wafilisti wanakujia. Akaamka katika usingizi wake, akasema, Nitakwenda nje kama siku nyingine, na kujinyosha. Lakini hakujua ya Kuwa Bwana amemwacha. Wafilisti wakamkamata, wakamng'oa macho; wakatelemka naye mpaka Gaza, wakamfunga kwa vifungo vya shaba; naye alikuwa akisaga ngano katika gereza. Samsoni akamwita BWANA, akasema Ee Bwana MUNGU, unasumbuka, nukuomba, ukanitie nguvu mara, nukuomba, mara hii tu, Ee Mungu, ili nipate kujilipiza kisasi juu ya wafilisti kwa ajili ya macho yangu mawili. Kisha Samsoni akazishika nguzo mbili za katikati ambazo nyumba Ile ilikaa juu yake, akazitegemea, moja kwa mkono wake wakuume na moja kwa mkono wake wa kushoto. Samsoni akas
