The Greatest Treasure

Everyone seems to be searching for something...there are countless books, products, activities and formulas in our modern world which are "guaranteed" to make us happy. But our souls will only be happy when they come home to their maker and make him their boss and treasure.

That is what it means to make Jesus Christ your Lord and Saviour. Will everything in your life automatically be "fixed"? Probably not, but you will be on the right track! And your soul will find peace for the journey because your destination will be settled!

...for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that He is able to guard until that day what has been entrusted to me. 2 Timothy 1:12b

Still here - with lots to do before He returns!

Hello readers!

It is almost 10pm and I am still here, sitting at my computer.  Today was the day that was (inaccurately) predicted to be the end of the world.  I must say there was a tiny part of me that was hoping it might be true.  How wonderful it will be to see the Lord Jesus Christ return.  But the part of me that knows the scriptures was pretty sure it wasn't going to happen.

Why do people make predictions like this?  Who knows...It's bad I think for true Christians because people who are against us anyway are always looking for yet another reason to ridicule us.  I just came from a Yahoo news website where folks could type in comments about Mr. Camping.  Almost three-fourths of the comments were from people proudly claiming their atheism and making derogatory remarks which stereo-typed all Christians as being "nut cases".

Do you want to know what I think we should be doing?  I think we should start and end our days with a little bit of self examination and pray that the Lord would strengthen us in our daily walk.  Pray that we become more and more like Jesus each day and see how we can share Christ with others in ways that are beneficial to our neighbors and communities.  If we ask God for the Comforter, He will send Him.  We don't know when Christ will return but we do know that with every day finished it is another day closer!
