| Do you have needs? |
|
| If
you are like most people, this world is a
complicated, mind-numbing, overly busy place that is
spinning out of control. We begin bright and early
on Monday morning and the week flies by with work,
family obligations, and every minute is filled. You
spend the weekend just trying to catch your breath.
But what does it all mean and why are we doing it?
Is this all there is?
|
|
|
| The answer is
No; there is much more to
life than just surviving each week. There is a
place where people care about you and your family
and present bible lessons each week that are
relevant to everyday living. |

|
Are you desperate to
reverse the madness and serious enough to make a
decision for change? Here are ten tips to help you
in your quest. |
|
|
| |
10. Decide on the outset to act
upon what you discover.
9. Ask God to reveal Himself to you.
8. Spend time in nature
7. Be specific with God.
6. Join a small group.
5. Commit to using church services as a tool.
4. Know your assumptions on what you already
believe and keep an open mind.
3. Spend time exploring a readable translation of
the
Bible beginning with
Luke or
John.
2. Know you personal issues. Your past can
profoundly influence your present ability to be
objective.
1. You don't have to know everything to know
something. So act on what you find.

We've included a couple of
scriptures to get you
started: |
|
Seek, Find
Jeremiah 29:13
(New
International Version, ©2011)
13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all
your heart. |
|
| |
|
Ask, Seek, Knock
Matthew 7:7 (New
International Version, ©2011)
7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find;
knock and the door will be opened to you. |
|

|
|
But WAIT! I can
hear you now;
"Why should I
believe the Bible? Anyone can write a book and put
anything in it they want." |
|
|
You're right!
Many people have asked that exact same question. In
fact some notable
atheists have set out to
prove that the Bible is just a book. One of them is
Lee Strobel. With a background in law and journalism,
Lee decided to prove it once and for all. We recommend
that you read the book, "The
Case For Christ". By the way, we've read it
and studied it as well. Also, if you would like, we'll
study it again along side of you. Just remember Tip #
4 from the list above: "Know your assumptions on what you already
believe and keep an open mind." |

| A historical person
along the same lines is
Simon Greenleaf.
Excerpt from
conservapedia.com:
'Dr. Simon Greenleaf (Dec. 5,
1783 - Oct. 6, 1853) was one of the chief figures in the
early days of the Harvard Law School, a legal scholar, and
also served as a Royall Professor at Harvard Law School. In
addition, Greenleaf was the author of the classic
three-volume text, A Treatise on the Law of Evidence (1842)
and according to Dr. Wilbur Smith this work "is still
considered the greatest single authority on evidence in the
entire literature on legal procedure.”' |
