Good news from Sierra Leone!

I’m not a Muslim, Hindu, Humanist, or a Buddhist; and I’m certainly not a Universalist, I am a Christian. Though I have some understanding of the religions mentioned and a few others I’m surprised at how few understand my beliefs. One of the things I’ve been hearing a lot recently is the idea that we all have the same God and it doesn’t matter how we get to God there are many paths, frankly I couldn’t disagree more.

My faith in Christ has led me to sort out some core beliefs that are essential to the Christian faith, that answer questions like the true identity and purpose of Jesus Christ, what does he expect from his followers,

The simplest definition of Christianity is a follower of Jesus Christ, the Jesus I am following is the Jesus of the bible. I have decided to take the bible at face value and to believe it is God’s word, historically accurate and entirely morally relevant today just as it was at the time it was written. In the bible we read 4 accounts of Jesus Life and teaching and it is perfectly clear that Jesus was not vague about his origin, his position, or his purpose. Jesus stated clearly that he came from God, he is God’s Only Son equal to God the Father in position, power, and authority; and that he came to save all those who put their faith in him from sin. Jesus was also clear on the point that the only way to God was through faith in him, no other person, idea or religion.

So when someone says, “well you know many paths lead to God,” know this, that idea is not found in the bible, it’s not a Christian viewpoint, and not God’s viewpoint. I urge you to put your faith wholly in Jesus Christ who said “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6

God's Promise for Uncertain Times

In the bible we read in Matthew 6:25-34 Jesus talks about the cure for anxiety, and that cure is our faith that our Heavenly Father will meet our needs as we seek first his kingdom, and seek his righteousness.

God is not giving us a formula to remove human suffering but rather the ability to cope with each day 1 day at a time. Jesus says just as God cares about the flowers & the birds and feeds and clothes them, he also cares for those who will seek him first. Christians are not promised a life free of trouble but are wisely instructed to not let tomorrows worries invade today's thoughts, after all each day has enough trouble of it's own. And surely with the problems of today it's comforting to know we have a loving Heavenly Father who cares for and provides for his people.
